Going to a classic rock themed halloween party tommorow night, and I have NO idea who to go as... This would've been alot easier a year ago when I had long hair... Argh.
Any ideas? I have short brown hair, and am of average height and build, can't be too ellaborate considering I have to get it for tommorow.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I mean, who on earth had short brown hair in the 60s/70s/80s, other than Phil Collins?!

You should go as Jim Morrison.
-
Robert Palmer. Get a black suit, shirt and tie...
.....and take along some girls in slinky black dresses with white guitars.

Instead of a musician, go as CC DeVille...
(lane joke, I know - but '80's themed!)

:lol:
Go in a monkey suit, tell everyone you're the drummer :P
-
Cut your arm off and you can be the drummer from Def Leppard. :D
-
Dye your hair red, paint one of your teeth black and put on a straightjacket.
-
Come on! Angus Young!!!
Or how about you get a Chinese flag, and a cardboard box attached to your belt with "Democracy" written on it and a tab of post-it notes for ballots. :lol:
-
Get a bottle of Jack Daniels, a red check shirt and old jeans and a pair of pumps dyed red and you can be Eddie Van Halen (if you get a black shirt and a Hitler moustache you could go as Eddie Von Halen :shock:)
-
asda has a brown curly yngwie looking wig if you need some long hair for an outfit, they also have a pink cowboy hat, not that pink cowboy hats have anything to do with classic rock

I LIKE THAT!!
Good way to get phone numbers as well...

Some great ideas guys, I was considering camo shorts, a sleeveless shirt, and a bandana, and be Dimebag, but I have a feeling that everyone will do that... Hmmm.
I could just say I'm Zakk Wylde instead if I do all the above but with a leather jacket haha.
-
You could dress up as a turd and still get away with being Zakk :P
-
i think you need to think outside the box, almost everyone will be in a silly wig doing the usual sorts of people.
maybe a greek style marble statue (dress up in whites/creams get some face paint and stand still, do it naked if you dare!!) or a stick of brighton rock (maybe dress up in white again - but get some strips of coloured material going from head to toe.. and obviously you need a circular bit on top with some writing on
both say 'classic' and 'rock' to me!

You need a dark pink beard to be dime

How short is your hair? If you have enough to backcombe it a bit you could put on some bad makeup and go as Robert Smith?
OR if you have time, (and you're willing to go to lengths) dye your hair as blonde as it will go and go as Billy Idol?

YES.
Get yourself a horrid Hawaiin shirt, a pair of faded jeans, aviator shades and a sports jacket with rolled up sleeves and your set.
You can wear it to non-classic rock themed parties and say you're Sonny Crockett too. 8)

Went as Bruce Dickinson in the end, was pretty good, wore a sleeveless t shirt, black waistcoat, and jeans with holes, wasn't the most convincing, but everyone worked it out once I had told them :p
Next time I'm DEFINITELY going as Satch, got the perfect hat and shades. Just need a tight fitting black t shirt.
-
get some stick on hair for your arms as well, that guys like $%&#ing bigfoot :lol:
-
but everyone worked it out once I had told them :p
that does not count!!!
The only exception may be when i went with blue hands and a suit to a sci fi fancy dress a few years ago... too few people got that
tonight i had a quickly made cricket bat with blood stains... a white short sleeved shirt and a red name badge with a little patch of red by the pocket... the rule i made myself was that i had to drink every time someone said ' you have red on you'
not as good as a few years ago when i made my girlfiend a batfink costume with wings that you could pull on a string to make them stand up... i made it from some cotton reels and some spare bamboo from the garden... and i had a custume designer at the party who was very impressed... but i was more impressed when she told me she made brian mays trousers for his performance on top off buckingham palace. she was currently working on that 'wicked' production and suggested i should really be in costume design!!!
-
Anyone got pics of their costumes then?
