What about Crocodile Dundee, a surfer or you could go as a giant bear - ( a pom bear!!)

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am female!

[Whickerman]

you could rent Priscilla and go as a character from that - pretty distinctive costumes made from flip flops etc

Or try this look:

I don't think gender matters if it's fancy dress! lol Makes it more fun/funny in my opinion.

skippy lol

I think Annie might have just offended any New Zealanders around here!

Kiri Te Kanawa definitely doesn't qualify as an Ozzie! ;-)

Mind you, you wouldn't get much of a drink or a snog at the party

[annie0000]

Oops!!! Sorry Kiwis.

[spudqueen]

I wouldn't bother going as Kiri Te Kanawa - she's from New Zealand!

You could try going as a convict!

[schneidkbouy]

Liking your ideas Buenchico - I would like to do something a bit different. Oh what fun!

[schneidkbouy]

No drink...No snogs not much of a party eh!

[annie0000]

I am thinking that Olivia Newton John dressed up in the tight black outfit might go down well with the guys!

lmao annie, im sorry- but I was in hysterics comparing the two pictures in your post.

[schneidkbouy]

hahah I will go with the first pic!

[annie0000]

Apparently Olivia had to be sewn into that costume and couldn't go to the toilet for the day!

I don't think the lady in the 2nd outfit would have the same problem - it's the realistic leather jacket that totally sets it off.
