1980`s help...

Weeks ago me and the missus were invited to a friend's 40th birthday party.
Up until yesterday we couldn;t make it - now we can...

This leaves us 4 days to find "costumes" in the style of 1980's.
The main theme is "Ashes to Ashes" because the do is being held at the police club.

But i'm thinking along the lines of movie fashion for us.

So far I have come up with Miami Vice for me - as i have a grey suit - just need a pink or blue t shirt and roll up the suit sleeves.
But also keen to look at other classic 80's bands or movies.

Can you help? It needs to be simple and will need to get hold of items from either our own wardrobes or charity shops...let's create!!

What about John Hughes films? Ferris Bueller? Save Ferris t-shirt?

Or maybe go as a stock broker with a huge giant mobile phone?

Ghostbusters was out in the 80s...

Gav - you need to wear more make up than your Missus to look like you're from the 80's!

Silver grey suit - pad up the shoulders a LOT. Bandana/neckchief round neck and spikey hair with loads of make up.

Cool!

Black jumpsuit and a red belt, you are a Numanoid.
If only I could fit into mine now...

Some food for thought...

The missus is swaying towards flashdance/fame type outfit at present.

I went as a ghostbuster once to a fancy dress party - i was 5.
I wonder if my parents still have it...

THO dyed my hair black last week (calling it black though is a bit of a understatement ), I look like Gary Numan (now without the suit) & can't get his songs out of my head, especially I Die You Die.

Won't it be a bit small by now?

I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you’ve noticed.) You don’t normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Heartily glad that I don't have to learn how to spell Chiwetel Ejiofor.
