dh is very tall and skinny with straight hair, alas. Gutted, I really wanted to be rose west!!

OMG tethersend, I LOVE that!! And obvs I would be just as sexy as Brigitte Bardot.....
DH can probably wheel out his brown suit (again) and I get to shop for cool bonnie outfit!! Plus we can get fake guns. Which is always a winner, I think you'll agree.

I have no pearls of wisdom...but just wanted to say that your thread title made me giggle and brightened up my morning! Grin

geraldinetheluckygoat · 16/11/2010 14:01

Margaret Thatcher HAHA!

Right I think we are going at Bonnie and Clyde.

Also, after watching Tethersend's link to that Bonnie and Clyde song, I had a largely inappropriate B+C themed dream last night. Serge had dissappointingly been replaced in my dream by one of the gawky boys from the house of Christians living next door. Still nonetheless, it was more excitement than I've had in quite some time HmmGrin.

So thats one positive that's come out of this ridiculous Fancy Dress Debacle.

Blonde wig, Myra Hindley, job done.

Or any other female psychopath - cos everyone knows that psychopaths just look like normal people!

or you could go dressed as a normal secretary type person, because you are in your superhero alterego "daywear". Recommend librarian style specs for this.Grin

geraldinetheluckygoat · 16/11/2010 14:47

ok, everyone, stop suggesting hideous murderous female sidekicks (no, I will not be going as Maxine Carr) Grin It aint gonna happen! {grin] Grin

I do HAVE librarian glasses.....

Wonderwoman in mufti then! Grin

Fimbo · 16/11/2010 14:50

My friends went to one dressed as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers.

geraldinetheluckygoat · 16/11/2010 14:55

its gotta be Heroes or Villians fimbo. Which is why everyone is suggesting Rose west and the like HmmGrin

We are going at bonnie and clyde I think...

Now. Should I go for 30's actual Bonnie, or late 60's cool Bonnie?

Cruella de Vil

geraldinetheluckygoat · 16/11/2010 15:10

I am not going as Maggie....that's even worse than bloody Rose West!!! Grin
Elle Driver would be BRILLIANT.....but not with my thighs...although I think she has some pretty hardcore opaque white tights going on....and it would mean I would be able to wear plimsols rather than heels....comfy Grin
