    Fancy dress costume required for my girlfriend, for next weekend.

    She has no ideas in particular so all suggestion welcome - also the cheaper the better. All help on where to go / what to buy greatly appreciated.

    No! No!... get her to dress up as something more alluring.

    A monkey for instance...

    Just throw a sheet over her head and she can go as a ghost.
    Avoid the use of pillowcases though... that's a bit too close to KKK ;)

    Go topical, dunk her in the canal on the way, get her to carry a few loafs of soggy bread and a bottle of water and she can be a hurricane victim. Very cheap, but not very convincing if she's white.

    As cruel as it is I'm pissing myself here, almost as bad as one I was at just after 9/11, there were two lads with cardboard boxes on them, one with a plane sticking out of it... Some yanks there went mad but they still won the top prize...

    go to georges st and the arcade there - there are some good shops which sell lots of tack

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Get a couple of meters of fake fur in Hickeys, wrap some around some chunky boots, a short skirt, a leather top with some big chunky wooden jewellery, sword and a Viking hat!!!

    Or just buy the fur and go around roaring at the top of your voice

    Yeah, and it just looked like I had the mumps and designer bandages when the mask bit was down. But I'm willing to look like a pillock to drink. Hell, I usually drink then look like a pillock, it was mixing things up.

    One of the best ones I've seen in college was a girl dressed up like she was coming out of the shower. Just wet hair a towel and flip flops. Clothes under the towel would be pretty essential.

    I've done the nurse and schoolgirl before and it was pretty unoriginal.

    Another original one was the dressed up for bed look just Pjs, slippers.
