Does anyone have any suggestions for an outfit for my daughter for a party she has been invited to.
Miss Twit is 14 and not a girly girl.
She wears a lot of black and eye make up á la Amy Winehouse.
The party theme is Nursery/Fairy tale characters :eek:
Last year, the theme was Barbie and Ken, she went as Punk Barbie....one of the lads went as Pimp Ken, he had borrowed a long fur coat off his mum and had bling and shades on. :cool:
We had thought of Puss in boots.....(thigh high boots) if I can find a cheap pair.
So ideas please...the wackier the better.

Hi! All I can think of is Captain Hook, or a Spider (from Miss Muffet)
:rolleyes:
Any good? Penny. x:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
I suggested a spider.....that didn't go down too well.
She will wear other colours, we just seem to have loads of black t-shirts....lots of band ones.

Why not add a twist by 'modernising' a goody-goody character - add 'attitude'.
- 'Mary, Mary, Quite contrary' a la Charlie Dimmock?
- Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood who shot the wolf and made him into a wolfskin coat? Try 'Revolting Rhymes' for other ideas.I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0 -
What about a fairy from the dark side!
So mix the pink with black, maybe black and white striped tights, black top, pink too too style skirt, black boots.:j Baby boy Number 2, arrived 12th April 2009!:j0 -
Punk fairy....ripped tights, DM's, mini skirt, etc
"slutty witch"....short tight black dress, black heels, fishnets, black eye make-up, pointy hat with the end bent over....0
