    Red face Help me find a costume... and quick!

    Hi!

    I have a fancy dress 40th birthday party to go to on Saturday night, nothing like leaving it to the last minute hey!

    The theme for the fancy dress is Singers. I have no idea who to go as!

    Does anyone have any suggestions that I can use for both myself and DH, that can be done easily without too much effort?

    Thanks girls, and next time I promise I'll start thinking about this a bit earlier

    Sonny and Cher (in the 60's - NOT as she was dressed in music clip "if I could turn back time" with all those sailors lol)...

    straighten your hair - loose clothing, wrap a band around your forehead and off you go!

    How about a big collared-shirt and seventies suit for your DH with a big fuzzy wig for a Leo Sayer look, and sequiny mini dress/gold glittery mini shorts with a cute top (and some fab heels), blonde wig and pink lippy for Kylie Minogue for you?

    Great suggestions so far girls, thanks!

    Leesa - LMAO at the "turn back time" music clip! I reckon my hair's too short now for the Cher thing, didn't she have long dark hair back then?

    How about Oliva Newton John & John travolta in Grease?
    Billy Ray Cyrus with a flannelette shirt and mullet?
    High School Musical with basketball shirt and cheerleader ensemble?
    Hope you have a fantastic time!

    ..... Janine what did you end up going as ? (i'm sure i'm not the only one here who would love to know )

    OMG Feeb did you take me back in time, when Madonna came to Melb years ago (concert at MCG) i was lucky to have the same hair style as her vogue videoclip (big blonde curls) so i added a pinstripe pants suit (which happen to be one of my work outfits) ... and when my sister & friends met me to go to the concert they couldn't stop laughing at me

    LOL girls, I ended up going as Danni Minogue, thanks Leesa for the suggestion!
    My hair style is similar to hers at the moment, so it was fairly easy, nobody really guessed who I was as I didn't have any stupid wigs on or anything!
    DH went as Billy Ray Cyrus (how embarrassing!) he dressed up in tight jeans, checkered shirt and cowboy boots with a mullet wig, he certainly looked the part!
