    1980s costume on a budget

    Ive got to go to an 1980's themed party next weekend and am after some ideas for character to go as or style to wear.

    Ive toyed with Top Gun and Ghostbusters and Rambo but all seem a bit overdone.

    Whats an eighties character that stands out to you?

    And if anyone has any eighties styled clothing that they could loan me in the Welly area id be stoked, please note i have shaved head and big boned(fat) so characters in of that stature prolly be best suited.

    Throw your ideas at me!

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Jake Blues from the Blues Brothers, nothing a plain black suit and some retro sunglasses couldn't do for you along with a dark wig with decent sideburns.

    • Couple of those wheel bread things from the local shop, one stuck to each ear
    • A white tee shirt and pants (or a sheet, cut a head hole and put on a white belt)
    • Make a "gun" out of a couple of handee towel inner tubes.

    Just saw the Flashdance ad on TV last night.
    Surely tight spandex and aerobix accessories would take you back 2.5 decades.

    Wear a white sheet with a pointy white hat with eye holes...
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them
