How about a Roman emperor - take advantage of your size (they're always shown as plump, be proud of it!), wear a sheet as a toga, create a circlet from a twig from a hedge and hey presto!What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0

Enlarge a first class stamp, hang it round your neck and go as a First Class (Fe) mail - I agree it works better if you are a guy!
Have a good time!:wave: Fit Likeee!:j0 -
1. Pyjama's with dressing gown and teddy (plus curlers).
2. Santa Claus (if you've got an old santa outfit somewhere - honestly, they'll laugh 'cos it's March
3. Cut off some branches of a fir tree, staple them on to a black bin bag, hang on some old Christmas decorations and go as an Xmas tree - honestly, it's March, they'll love it (also figure hiding)
4. Trusted black bin bag and stick loads of red and yellow bits of paper, followed by lots of cinamon coloured circles - hey ho, you're a pizza
5. Nothing except 5 large fig leaves (3 for the obvious, 1 for behind and 1 for your face - cut out eye holes!)
6. Get an old white sheet, cut out eye holes. Draw a picture of an eye on the back - just a simple one in black pen. On the front draw a picture of a green bean - you're now an IPod!!

Go with a condom on your nose then when someone asks what you're dressed as say "F**k knows"A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.0 -
Go as a punk!! Spray hair some wild colour, heavy black eyeliner, black nails, lengths of chains on your clothes. Shred top a bit. Fake eyebrow/nose rings (claires is good). DH went out like this at New Year but it works equally well for women.
Hope this helps

Go as a ghostbuster -Get grey overalls, a back pack bag with a big of hoover hose coming out of it, we printed off some pictures of the ghostbuster logo from the computer and stuck them on the back of the overalls and a water pistol. Great fun when youre in the pub.
Me and my sister also went as a two members of a jazz band. We put some gold brocade in swirls on a black jacket and bought some gold bells from a haberdashery and put them on as buttons. We wore white trousers. We made a hat out of some cardboard and put a peak on it and stuck on a gold star from the xmas decorations. We had a kazoo from the pound shop and I made a banner with two sticks and a white sheet with the town where we were from and also put on the name of the girls hen night we were on. Every pub we went into we walked in the front playing our kazoos with the hen girl under our banner and the rest marching behind. Got ourselves noticed and had a smashing night. Hardly cost anything at all. Hope you have a good night..0 -
