Nope.

Def not comic.

Probably loads you can do with an accessorised black dress though.

MrsBadger · 26/08/2009 09:26

probabyl yes

but you will need to do your hair half balck half white (pain in the arse IME)

PitysSake · 26/08/2009 09:30

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 26/08/2009 09:44

mmmeggs - go starkers as demi moore

BalloonSlayer · 26/08/2009 09:44

Can't find a picture to link to but what about a purple bikini and going as Sandy from Spongebob?

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 26/08/2009 09:46

or paint yourself purple and go as violet beauregarde from charlie and the chocolate factory

MissAnnesley · 26/08/2009 09:46

MmmeEggs can you go as Angelina J in that gorgeous limey green maxi dress & a straight black wig down to your backside.

MissAnnesley · 26/08/2009 09:48

This look I mean

MmmEggs · 26/08/2009 13:14

Lol @ going starkers

I want Angelina's dress... now, how do I get that very cheap by the weekend? (actually, if I had that I could wear it to the wedding the weekend after )

MrsBadger · 26/08/2009 14:22

ok it is not green
but it is cheap, glam, maternity and would probably do for the wedding too with a wrap or cardi

actually this isn't much more and would be good for the wedding too

had never conisdered ASOS for matwear but it is good
[ogles 'pencil dress']

MmmEggs · 26/08/2009 16:31

Oooooooooooooh I really like the purple, the black is better price-wise, but not too sure if I can find a way to yank my norks up.

Just tried on a similar style halterneck dress (non-mat) and the norks don't actually look too saggy. I think where I'm getting to the end they have that plumped up effect.

Ordering the cheaper one for next day delivery (can't justify the other as much as I want to!)

MrsBadger · 26/08/2009 16:35

hoick norks with tape

MmmEggs · 26/08/2009 17:56

Black one ordered Angelina wore various black maxis too - will get DH to draw tattoos on me.

MrsBadger · 26/08/2009 18:31

a Cher wig would do a good Angelina impression
add a biig pout

does this mean DH has to go as Brad Pitt?

MmmEggs · 26/08/2009 18:36

hair can be as is (don't care enough ) - tis brown, and can be "tousled".

DH is going as Joker. He is getting very enthusiastic and has spent two hours looking at youtube for makeup advice

MrsBadger · 26/08/2009 18:52

Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger?

MmmEggs · 26/08/2009 18:59

Heath

I think we're off to a stage suppliers place tomorrow to buy something called rigid collodion for scars...
