Help! Urgently need 80's fancydress ideas, have been let down.

[lucy5]

My brothers 18th birthday party is tommorrow. He is having an 80's theme, god that makes me feel old. He ordered some stuff off the internet and it hasn't turned up.

Problem number 1 He is huge, about 6 foot 4 and xxL.

Problem number 2 We are in Spain so no access to secondhand/charity shops etc I can go to Gibraltar tomorrow where I have access to some British shops, Marks and sparks, bhs, some sports shops.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.

Sorry to bump so soon, don't want to fall off active convos!

black trousers, white shirt, lots of make up.

steve strange?

What about Max Headroom - suit, tie, sunnies, makeup and slicked back hair. Ta-dah!

Thanks, keep thinking of George Michael, in tiny shorts eew!

Keep up coming

What about Wham! in their white shorts and t shirts with slogans, sweatbands etc?

wham

oops, cross posted on the small shorts idea

light coloured jacket, with sleeves rolled up, gold chain, raybans, light jeans, no socks, boating shoes, fake tan... et voila ! don johnson,eat your heart out!

mwah x

horrible cheap old men's pleated front trews with tapered ankles, white socks, loafers and ski/snowflake jumper tucked into trews?

I was a mod in the 80's, don't think I will be able to come up with a Parka and a fox tail on the Costa Del Sol!

Eww, it was a truly terrible era! [vomit emotion needed}

At our party we had Miami Vice - (pale suit, sleeves rolled up , pastel shirt & shades)
Gary Numan - black shirt & trousers, white thin tie - fairly easy
Wham - bright baggy T shirts & white shorts

I sent DH to an 80s party once as the incredible hulk!!!! Get self in green paint, rip up an old shirt and jeans, mess hair up, shove screwed up tights in the arms to look like muscles.....viola!!!!!
Just make sure he has a shower before going to bed!!!!

Thanks, keep em coming please. Going to go to gibraltar with a few ideas.
