Party tonight. Theme is "Rock and Pop"

My wife said it's "not appropriate" to black-up, get some dreads and go with a spliff in my mouth and say I was Bob Marley. Also a "sock on my c0ck" Red Hot Chillis style...Not amusing either.

Need some ideas. The free-er the betterer.

Stick of rock. Carrying a can of fizzy pop.

If you have the physique, put on a long wig, strip to the waist and go as Iggy Pop.

If you haven't, put on a sheet and a bushy beard and go as Demis Roussous

Something involving a sheet, or bin liner, or paper decorating overalls is what I go for every time. Essentially the look is I-can't-be-arsed-and-essentially-I'm-subverting-this-whole-stupid-idea-with-a-costume-that-also-makes-me-look-like-tit-and-cost-59p-to-make

Jeans, boots and shirt and you could be any rock singer of the last 30 years.

Dark suit dark glasses and hat and voila the blues brothers. They were kind of poppy.

Jeans and a T shirt. Job done. Uncover copper, [insert famous name here] at home chilling etc.

You may correctly surmise that I don't do fancy dress. Don't see the point.

Found an old GnR t-shirt. Some old army boots. Bought a 5 quid blonde wig and wore a camo buff as a bandana. Axl Rose. Job done.

Wig lasted about 30 mins. Itcy, hot and got in the way when I drank/ate. Lost the wig, was able to drink unhindered. Managed a 40 minute Uber ride home, peed in the back garden and vomited at the same time. Result! (?)

A hot dog in a roll, just like in Prefab Sprout's "King Of Rock 'n' Roll" video. 😆

Last time I got invited to one of these things I suggested that I'd go as an 80's rocker. It was pointed out that that wouldn't actually be a fancy dress outfit for me.

So jeans and a t-shirt essentially. It is the basis for any fancy dress nonsense...
