I'm going to a 70's 80's fancy dress party on Saturday night and don't know what to wear. I've seen a really nice mullet on ebay so something to go with that would be good. I'm thinking maybe '80's banker' look so if anyone knows where I can get a crappy suit and braces in the west dunbartonshire area that would be good. I don't have a lot of time left so the easier the better really. Cheers!

I would say Bay City Roller, but in West Dunbartonshire how will you know if you've turned up at the wrong party?

Yeah it's probably a bit of a fashion crime. I'm thinking slicked back hair with some nice red stock broker braces i've just seen.

Nothing says "80's" like a gay greek in a string vest.

Thanks but I'd rather attract attention from the opposite sex.

(Last time I went to a 80's themed fancy dress party I considered going as an 80's rocker, till I realised that wasn't fancy dress)

In fact, you could probably concoct a plausible Larry Blackmon costume out of stuff from your mountain bike dressing up box.

I think I might be going as an 80's stockbroker and making myself a big mobile phone. Keep the ideas coming in though please.

How about a disco outfit from ebay?

Here's me in mine being interviewed by a lady from Granada reports.

Dress up as a woman. Whatever the occasion, dressing up as a woman will ALWAYS be the best solution.
