Fancy dress ideas please

[Ian J]

The good news is that we were invited to a friends 40th birthday party but the bad news is that it's fancy dress

The theme is "two tone" as he's a great Madness fan and as usual my mind goes blank and I can't think of anything. Well I can - Blues Brothers" but that's about it.

Can anyone come up with something original please

You go as C-flat, wife goes as A#. Job done

 

[FZR400RRSP]

You go as Tony Blackburn (generic DJ dress)
She goes as Toni Basil (generic cheerleader dress)

Two 'tones'

No?
Please yourself.

 

[KhalJimbo]

King Kong and Fay Wray?

 

[DJT75]

Go as a 'Special' Constable
Buster Bloodvessel

 

[IronGiant]

Tommy Two Tones - Tommy Two Tones and your wife may well already have a suitable costume to go with it

 

[imightbewrong]

You could go as two tons (one each) and spend the night apologising for the mix-up

Just send a card.........

 

[IronGiant]

Go with the Two Tone Records black and white check and get some chef's gear: Unisex Check Chef Trousers: Amazon.co.uk: Clothing they do matching hats too

Unfortunately everyone else might have the same idea...

Edit: don't forget the tie.... http://www.vivahateonline.co.uk/two-tone-checked-tie-604-p.asp

Okay I'll stop now.

Go all in black and your wife all in white?

 

[Iccz]

Go all in black and your wife all in white?

That means staying with her all evening in case you have to explain the joint costume

 

[Solomon Grundy]

Go all in black and your wife all in white?

Like Mr Neat & Mr Tidy from Mr Messy (except Ian's wife is a lady of course)!

 

[Ian J]

hmmmmmmmmm

 

[IronGiant]

How about a black top and white trousers for one of you and white top and black trousers for the other, forming a check when you stand together...

 

[Solomon Grundy]

I think you should stick to the theme and go in the same style as everyone else...don't forget the sunglasses!

 

[dan54]

Buster Bloodvessel?

 

[Pincho Paxton]

Go as a black and white negative. Paint your face in inverted colours, wear grey clothes, white socks.. etc.

 

[BB3Lions]

Ebony & Ivory - paint half your face neck black get a white glove and go as Jacko & McCartney

 

[Saldawop]

Obviously I dont know your friend,but seeing as he is a Madness fan and the theme is 2-tone could it not mean he wants you to come as the typical 2-tone fan?
Skinhead wear?
Maybe black suit(mod style),white shirt,black tie,white socks?
Black & white mini dress(for the wife)

How about Charlie Chaplin and your wife can be the time traveller with the mobile phone. That will get your talking to total random people. Just remember to get her to walk behind you a few times.

 

[namuk]

i can see it now

 

[Ian J]

Thanks all. Plenty of food for thought

 

[HMHB]

Do what I do as soon as I hear the words "fancy dress" ... don't go

 

[HMHB]

Actually I've just had another thought about what I would do in this situation. I'd just turn up in my normal clothes and say that I'd come as a miserable git
