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.

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

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.

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

Seven, trust me, that would not be a good look on me!

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

right im going to bed. thanks for all the ideas you lot

[PlumSykes]

Margaret Thatcher

[aDarkStarWithStrangeWays]

The Bowler

DH could go as The Shoveller

[notyummy]

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

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

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 .

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.

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

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

I do HAVE librarian glasses.....

[thumbwitch]

Wonderwoman in mufti then!

[Fimbo]

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

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

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

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

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

[JaniceSoprano]

this is a NON female friendly one
we had it once
EVERYONE went as curella ( including me)
DO NOT DO IT

[JaniceSoprano]

[JaniceSoprano]

OR go as heather mills

[JaniceSoprano]

[JaniceSoprano]

robert mugabe?

[ZZZenAgain]

was Dolly Parton a hero or a villain?

[ZZZenAgain]

Cruella de Vil

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

I am not going as Maggie....that's even worse than bloody Rose West!!!
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

[StealthPomBear]

Does your DH look like David Cameron at all? even a little bit?

[Ormirian]

Cruella de Ville!

Ooh I want to go to a party dressed as Cruella de Ville. Let me go to a party as Cruella? please.....snot fair

[Fimbo]

Gah. Soz didn't read that part. Mind you Islands in the Stream was a crime against music.
