Marilyn Monroe.

Can only asume that you are a bloke (although I do know a couple of "women" called Kev) but what is the point of going to a fancy dress party and not take advantage. Bet you would get a snog too!

Why don't you go as Vera Drake?  All you need is a pinny, a length of hose and a cup of tea.

Without knowing your gender it's a bit difficult. Go as Bugs Rabbit, Elvis, Uncle Fester (you need to shave your head), Victor Meldrew, if your an old git.

Well...decided to pop into the charity shop on my way home from work and i purchased a "fabulous" pair of leather trousers for just �4 just tried them on with a white t-shirt, leather jacket, sunglasses and COPIOUS amounts of bryllcream in my hair so trying to go for the elvis-sy type look...works ok but what's everyone's opinion?

Leather trousers? Where they fifties? By the way i'm a 21 y/o male
