Oh FFS. Finally partners are "allowed" to attend the work do....only for it to be cocking FANCY DRESS.

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

villians or superheroes ffs.

I look like Valma from Scooby Doo. Build and style wise! what the HELL am I going to go as?

DH says I can't go as Valma. Im buggered.

[aDarkStarWithStrangeWays]

Or Halo Jones?

[aDarkStarWithStrangeWays]

Go as Rorschach, all you need is a trench coat, a trilby and a muslin with some blots on it.

[MadreInglese]

top 100 comic book villains

(not heard of half of these!)

[MadreInglese]

ah poo, just seen the comic bit

[MadreInglese]

you could even wear a 50s dress

ha ha someone did it already!

[MadreInglese]

go as the other mother and father from Coraline with buttons stuck/drawn on your eyes

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

bugger.

[FairyLightsForever]

Unfortunately, the 1950's wasn't a decade for females being portrayed as anything other than housewives, or bit parts to be rescued by the hero, so I think you'll have to come up with a different excuse to wear the dress.

[FairyLightsForever]

I'll get onto it now...!

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

Oh, Fairylights, I would LOVE to wear a fifties dress....AND my dressmaker friend who makes them for a living promised to make me one in return for a favour i did her a while back

QUICK THINK OF A HERO OR VILLIAN IN A FIFTIES PROM DRESS!!!

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

hahaha! Fairylights, no worries, minnie was a good idea...she is heroic in the eyes of preschoolers....

Well, if it MUST be heroes from comics, I think the Alter Ego idea from Thumbwitch is a good idea...I have a navy blue mac I could wear, with a shirt and sensible skirt, sensible hair and maybe a neckerchief (I just wanted to say "neckerchief" really!) or pearls. I have clonky blue heels, brought in a New Years Eve panic from Asda when I forgot to take my shoes to a party...Ill wear those too.

Then I wont actually have to buy anything....

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Lol at JaniceSopranon - 'go as Heather Mills, or your mum (cuts both ways)'

[FairyLightsForever]

oh poo, just realised I've got carried away with the comic bit and forgot about the hero/villain bit

[FairyLightsForever]

How about Minnie Mouse? Red polka dot dress, red shoes, black card ears and a bow on a hairband... {grin]

[JaniceSoprano]

Lots of velmas too. Cruella and velma

[FairyLightsForever]

What does he want to go as? You don't have to go as part of the same comic, do you?

[thumbwitch]

Or you could stick to Velma, which is actually the best idea but if your DH is going to sulk about it...

[thumbwitch]

i'm telling you, Wonderwoman in mufti is the way to go here! Never mind the size 16 part of it. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.comicbooksuperheroes.net/images/wonderwoman.gif&imgrefurl=www.superherocomicshop.com/wonder-woman-history&usg=__NjOy4xWErk9c3HbHJhwwMqSzuwE=&h=375&w=480&sz=55&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=I2Oo0nYkSgW2kM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=157&prev=/images%3Fq%3DWonderwoman%2Bcomic%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1437%26bih%3D589%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=124&vpy=257&dur=218&hovh=198&hovw=254&tx=111&ty=121&ei=8PviTJyaJJOvcLPa8O4M&oei=8PviTJyaJJOvcLPa8O4M&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">here is a hint of the transformation - see, secretary-type with bun and librarian glasses!

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

LOL Doodlingpombear!! Mr Kidd DOES look a little like Velma!

I think It would be excellent to go as Velma. Plus, dh would just have to wear practically his normal clothes and everything to look like Shaggy . He's being annoying about the whole thing. which is making me feel bloody minded about going as velma....

[FairyLightsForever]

Velma is mentioned here, ovbiously there was a Scooby Doo comic here (you may need to scroll down the page to find her) the comic was published by DC Comics.

[JaniceSoprano]

If bung on a cat ear headdress and go as a woman who is a cat

[DoodlingPomBear]

You could go as mr kidd who looks a little like velma and dh as mr wint

or have a look for inspiration on this page Rosal Klebb and Blofeld?

can you tell I am on a theme?

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

Shall I? Shall I just veto the fancy dress part?

[twoboots]

Sarah palin?
Just slap on a red jacket and get a blow dry.

[JaniceSoprano]

Do you really want to go? Why not just go in normal clothes
