In my early goth days
I went to a Battle of the Bands in tight velvet trousers (that were practically 'meggings') and a black pirate/poet shirt...

Seeing as you've spammed this
I'm going for 'sarcasm' with a hint of 'hatred'.

It's so not
I love the Lestat look, srsly. Not many men are men enough to pull it off, ironically.

the thing is most of attraction comes from the illusion of the look
which is quickly lost when in Tesco's or standing at the bus stop.

It's very hard to pull that kind of stuff off and if you can logic dictates you are mentally unhinged.

I hate walking into Tesco when I'm all dolled up for a night out
the lights are so bright in there it just makes you look like an idiot, even if it's obvious you're going out.

I went to a pirate party a bit ago and I was wearing thigh high leather boots and a skull and cross bones shirt plus a headscarf. It was obvious I was in fancy dress, but I still felt like a total tool in the Co-Op buying juice. Especially because Wiggy had a headscarf and stuff too but he took it off and so the rest of his costume was just black pants and a shirt.

Dude I've done it
as Mr T,
Super Mario and the Notorious BIG. And I was alone! I looked like a mentallist.

Please tell me you blacked up for Notorious.

Hmm...
Em's having a fancy dress do for her birthday, with a theme of music. I'm not allowed to come as anything punk or easy (I suggested getting a mullet wig, hiding one arm in a denim shirt and going as the drummer from Def Lepard).

Any suggestions?

Fat suit
Go as Pavarotti and sing at everyone, instead of speaking.

Or, wear a blonde wig, paint yourself badly with makeup, and carry a headless dummy round with you i.e. Courtney Love

Both....novel suggestions!

Cardboard boxes and spray paint. Optimus Prime.
It's my next fancy dress plan. I have found instructions on the web.

Go as Steve Hillage in a satin judo suit. No-one will laugh at you, I promise.

I'll let you borrow the idea I've been saving for an up coming 1970s themed party.
The Bay City Rollers! It can be achieved with a simple three step plan.
1. Wear a tartan scarf
2. Wear your most flared jeans turned up to mid calf length
3. Stick a plaster cast of Tam Paton's cock up your arse.

Hmm... still skeptical...
I haven't dressed like that since my teens. At one point it was all about dressing like The Crow, as so many goths do. Oh the shame!
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:39, Reply)

hahah
I hate the Crow look. Skin tight leather and electrical tape isn't as hot as you would think. Plus Brand Lee kind of needed to wash his hair.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 1 Oct 2010, 11:44, Reply)

I look back and cringe
But at least that period didn't last long. Top Dollar in The Crow looked far cooler, and I wish I had his voice.
