I went to a fancy dress party as Kenny from off of South Park when I was a student
I spent ages trying to convince my flatmates that they should go as Stan, Kyle and Cartman, but they weren't keen and not that bothered about their costumes. Nonetheless, I borrowed an orange hoodie, and the night before I bought a big round balloon, covered it in plaster of paris and left it hanging from the bathroom light cord to dry. The next morning I deflated the balloon and painted my now spherical, uh, helmet to look like Kenny's head and the costume was complete with about an hour's effort. My housemates put so little effort into their costumes that now I think about it one went as a "man with a tea towel on his head". When we got there, the lovely hostesses who were dressed as policewomen were not altogether impressed though I at least got marks for effort, even if it was probably not a good idea in retrospect to wear a costume that completely obscured my face, though appropriately enough muffled my voice.

Anyway, our thunder was stolen by the four lads who later turned up dressed as Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. They had just put on the appropriate clothes for each character, which was probably an easier way to go about it. To rub salt into the wound, their Kenny even had the same name as me. I think I went home not long after that.
