Fierce_LiNk Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I need j00! My birthday houseparteh is on Saturday, and I shall be celebrating by dressing up and grinding some lovely ladies. Now, the dressing up is proving to be difficult. Some clever fanny decided that teh theme of the party is things associated or beginning with "J" or "B". (cos dat's mah name, safe) My idea is to go as Jimi Hendrix, mainly because he's a God. I need ideas on how to dress up as this. Tell me what I need, and what shops to get these purchases from (if possible). Either that, or suggest me a better idea. Cos mine might be crap, innit.
MoogleViper Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Jime Bowen. Twice as good. Seriously though maybe Batman or Joker? Or a normal Jester?
Ashley Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 You could go as ...Jade Goody. Jude Law. The letter 'Jumping J'. Barney Rubble. Bananarama. All the possibilities. But as far as where to get stuff for the costume, no idea. (still need to decide what to do for mine; thinking maybe 'geek culture', video games, comics etc)
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 If I had to go as Jude Law, I'd be punching myself in the face all night, as I hate the fudger. So, no to that one. I've kinda had the same similar suggestions already, like Batman, Jester, etc. What sorta clothes would I need for Hendrix? I've figured I need an afro and an inflatable guitar, but what else?
Guest Stefkov Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Go as Jesus. Throw on a cloth and some sandals and it's all done.
jayseven Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Purple flares & waistcoat, a gap in the front teeth, a tache, tie-die shirt and tie die bandana, and those thich-soled shoes I've forgotten the name of!
MoogleViper Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Don't really know Hendrix that well. James Blunt? You know you wanna. Bully from Bullseye? Need a red/white striped shirt, make some horns and paint your face brown.
Supergrunch Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I'm going to hijack this thread with another request - I need an 80's costume for Friday, preferably homemade and costing less than £10. ...yeah, and obtainable within Cambridge. Current plan: Rickroll everyone. But how to go about such a costume?
Dante Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 How about Jesus. Batman. James Brown. Bear. Jonny Quest. Jimmy Hill.
Ashley Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Johnny Bravo! Its both a J and B. As is Johnny Borrell. All you need is to be sweaty and wear skinnies.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 Purple flares & waistcoat, a gap in the front teeth, a tache, tie-die shirt and tie die bandana, and those thich-soled shoes I've forgotten the name of! Shit, I forgot about the tache, how did I do that? Nice one, mate. Any idea where to get these in Brighton?
MoogleViper Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 As is Johnny Borrell. All you need is to be sweaty and wear skinnies. And act like a complete ****.
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 And act like a complete ****. If you're looking to do that, dress up like James Blunt.
Ashley Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Shit, I forgot about the tache, how did I do that? Nice one, mate. Any idea where to get these in Brighton? Tie-dye stuff you can make yourself, tache you can get from a party/costume shop. And act like a complete ****. We're talking about stuff he'd need to change to get into character.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 I'm gonna keel you dead, Ashleymon. Hmm, I had a wee look around the shops (all 2 of them) and I couldn't find the right head stuff. It's the clothes that are bothering me mainly. I wanna look good. Foxy lady! HERE I COME, BABEH!
jayseven Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Shit, I forgot about the tache, how did I do that? Nice one, mate. Any idea where to get these in Brighton? There's a good shop for stuff like that, forgotten what it's called (:'() -- it's on that road with teh Evolution, with the HSBC bank on the corner where people hand out flyers all the time... arg :P The shop's purple and sells hippy clothes made from hemp and stuff. ... Probably too vague a description :P The north laines will surely be appropriate? For some reason i can't recall any fancy dress places specifically, but i'm sure there's one down there. Good luck \o/
EchoDesiato Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I can't believe no one said Jack Bauer yet.
ReZourceman Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 The letters are B and J.... .....Go as a BJ.
weeyellowbloke Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Try a charity shops, you're bound to find some tie-die, frilly, kinda 60's things in there, then you just need a tache, bandana and afro wig.
Jamba Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Oh for the general Hendix stubble: black face paint and very open pore sponge. Quite a stiff one works best. Makes the best stage stubble ever. Oh yeah and don't forget some really cheap and nasty looking rings. Just play some GH 3 Flink and copy the character off that. Close enough right?
nightwolf Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Jimmy hendrix is easy, get some washed out jeans, a red scarf to go round the forehead and a white top with tassles. Its the image of him at woodstock that I'm thinking of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ6B8bKKTS4 Charity shops, a red scarf will be easy to get ahold of, so will light coloured jeans, boots. Its just the top, just get a plaing white one
