((((sigh))))) *another* fancy dress hen do...

[Geordieminx]

Pop star/movie star.

What the actual fuck??

So. What do I do?

I not want to look like a tart or a side show attraction.

Would also prefer not having to spend the whole night explaining who I am supposed to be.

I am 29, short and a size 14 so not really prime "dressed a a movie star"material

((((sigh))))

Any ideas would be fab. Any good ideas may involve me snogging you.

Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction....wig, white shirt, etc.

Paint yourself blue and go as one of the Avatar cast.....could be mistaken for a smurf though!!!

Madonna from Evita or the 'Music' video (might be a bit warm with the fur coat, hat, etc).

Nothing tarty here though and suitable for all shapes and sizes. HTH!

Thought about Uma... Could work.

Shall investigate Evita.

Have long dark hair so also though about black dress, black eye make-up, big lips, lots of baby dolls... Angelina Jolie

Marge Simpson, from The Simpsons movie. Big blue wig and lots of cigarettes to get the voice right?!

Hair in a bun, little black dress, pearls and sunglasses. Hey presto, you're Audrey.

Yy to Audrey. Liz Taylor as Cleopatra? White sheet, some good torc-type necklace (primark have them), winged eyeliner, gold beads in hair? Ideal if brunette, also quite sexy in a non-trashy way

Audrey is also a very good idea.

Means I don have to carry half a dozen dolls round all night

Have also seen Cat woman, Cruella and Jesse from Toy Story...

Grr. 3 hen nights, 3 weddings and a christening between now and April.

Went to fancy dress NYE, best one was Uma Thurman, white shirt, black crops and a black wig - v simple, really good.

I went as Kelly McGillis from Top Gun, stilettos, black pencil skirt, white shirt, brown leather jacket covered in flying badges and Top Gun badge, plus aviators..... simple, and I didn't look too much of a plonker..

Think it's between Uma, Audrey and Angelina

Main thing is to be recognizable .. Rather than having to explain 10000 times who I am supposed to be

If you go as Audrey, you could carry a little tiffany's shopping bag (if you have one) with a croissant shoved in it.

Thought of another one. What about Zorro?? I did this once as I have long dark curly hair....plaited down back, mask, hat and cape with simple White shirt, black leggings and boots. Little to no chance of being asked who you are or of turning up to find 3 other girls dressed the same.

Right. I need to up my game a lot a bit.

Spoken to a few of friends. So far? Shrek and Fiona, Harry Potter, Amy Winehouse and Braveheart.

I want to look fab.

Helpppppp

the yellow jumpsuit on Uma in Kill Bill is very recognisable

I am 5"1 and a size 14... I would not look good...

Bump.

Go as George Michael circa wham era. White shirt, jeans, blonde boofy wig.

Why be constrained by fgender.

Go as Prince? Got any purple?

Go as Madonna in her like a virgin days. Basque. bangles. easy peasy.

Who do you actually look a bit like?

Lady Gaga? Meat dress?!

Friend is going as Gaga.

Look like a fat Victoria Beckham if you are drunk

Go as Jordan

Short list so far :
Cruella de Ville
Audrey Hepburn
Wednesday/Morticia Adams
Zorro
Mrs Incredible
Princess Leia

I am so bored with this.
