Hello, Ive been invited to an 80's party and as I dont get to go out often I want to make sure I look fab. Any ideas on who I could go as? Im thinking Blondie, Madonna, those sort of people. Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Anabella Lwin from Bow Wow Wow! Shaved head optional, but the rest could be fun!!??
If you really want to impress and win forst prize may I suugest Mr T.

Yes I know you are a slim white female so going as a big black man will show initiative and imagination.

Wear some dungarees or a boiler suit and pad out the mucsley bits with anything to hand. A blac swimming hat with some fur/fake hair in a mohican. The same for the coiffeured beard. Buy some black (moreover bronw) face paint from any fancy dress shop or probably ebay.

A pair of monkey boots and a body building belt from a male friend and don as much gold bling as you can find. Earrings, braclets and of course neck chains.

For very little money you can always buy some gold chain from a DIY store, cut to difference lenghts.

Overall, you will be the best for about �20. Trust me.
I bet most of the girls go as Madonna and Blondie. How about She-ra, Baby from Dirthy Dancing, Princess Leia (Empire strikes back was 80's), kid from Fame, or have a look at this 80's movie website for ideas: http://www.fast-rewind.com/
omg I would sooo go as madonna circa 1984

she was my fashion idol as a kid, but I was never allowed to wear those kinds of clothes, do it!!! do it nowwwww!!!

Im loving all your ideas. Thank you all. By the way Nathan_Adler, how do you know Im a slim white female?
Well a username like Rachel would indicate that you have breasts. This is further evidenced by your initial desire to go dressed as Blondie or Madonna.

Again as both these artists are slim white birds, I would stress that a slim white female is very much you.

Besides if you are a big black male, then BA Baracsus will be so much easier.

Seriously though, Mr T / BA is what you should go as. An 80's icon, if there ever was one.
if I was a big black male I would go as the lead singer of cameo

I feel a bit dim now Nathan_Adler. I can only use the excuse of being tired as Ive been helping to run a school fete all day. I like the idea of mr T, I must say.
Just crimp your hair, wear a pair of leggings and some big bangles and beads and you can be almost ANY 80s female popstar or Boy George
Eighties icon...

Princess Diana,.... put on a tiara.... everything she wore looked fab.
Go as Diana as Miss Random suggests. You wont go wrong there.
I went to an 80s do as a kid from fame-very easy.
