    Your bikini :eek: :D (I wouldn't be that brave but you might be)

    A ra-ra skirt made from strips of material and sewn onto a bit of elastic at the top. Or wear a sarong in a bright colour, should be able to get one from Primark or Matalan cheap.

    Could you go as Bob Marley? A retro t-shirt that you could get from Primark or Matalan for about £5 or £3 in the sale if you're lucky. Jeans, flip-flops. A dreadlock wig made from black wool sewn along the 'parting' onto a tiny bit of fabric, a big floppy hat hmmm, you might have to buy one of these, a fake 'splif' made from paper mache moulded into the shape then some cotton wool coloured red with felt tips shoved in the end.

    Can't think of any famous female carribeans?

    Two coconut halves on string to cover up yer boobies and a grass skirt (they sell them in Birthdays, the party shop) :D

    Failing that the bikini top and sarong idea for ladies and for chaps a loud shirt, loud shorts and flip flops.

    I'm loving Galtizz's idea of the rasta :rotfl: can just see you carrying a giant spliff all night.
    Just run, run and keep on running!

  • Tight shorts, but only if you can "shake your booty" at 140 shakes per minute Kingston dancehall stylee, doesn't work if you have a little boys bottom like Kylie Minogue.
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.

    I'll look at merging them and leaving a pointer so everyone can still find it.
