Posted May 21, 2008 Strange question, basically, my mate is having a party at his house tomorrow, but it is The Tramp's Summer Ball. It's funnily ironic, as it's a party before their summer ball, at which you have to dress all smart, and so at this you have to proper tramp yourself up. Enough about the premise though. Basically, I need to look like a tramp, and I don't have alot of time(don't bother with the 'just do what you normally do' etc, EVERYONE has already pulled it, literally). It's tomorrow, but I gotta get myself sorted by like 12 in the morning as I gotta meet someone up london for the journey there. So yeah, what's the best way to look like a tramp? So far I have fingerless gloves, some old tatty ballcrushing jeans(not particularly 'trampy', due to trampy looking jeans looking cool, apparently), and a strung cardboard sign to hang around my neck, as of yet awaiting caption(Will dance for food, will dance for beer, will dance for money, are the current an unoriginal suggestions, hit me up with something inventive). I shall also be obtaining some Special Brew to destroy my brain with. If there's one group of people who'd be able to help me, I'm under the impression it's you guys, because you're the awesome kind of people who aren't my sucky friends with their sucky ideas. P.S Hobo Bum type Tramp, not some office tart kind of tramp, which made up a large portion of my google image results for 'Tramp'. Why does porn always pop up when you need it the least!

Posted May 21, 2008 I dressed up as a tramp for my sixth form charities week a few years ago, nice scruffy fake beard, ripped, dirty jeans, big wax coat. Even had my own plastic, hobo stabbing knife. Was awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2008 is it too late to offer advice? Rub leaves/dry grass in your hair. breadcrumbs in your beard... use rope to tie your jacket closed, and plastic bags twisted into strips as shoe-laces. Odd shoes maybe. Jacket should be too big, preferrably one of those 'puffy' ones that make you look like the michelin man, or a thick matte suit-jacket type thing. You need to have rollies, dirt under your fingernails, a mysterious scar or two, and yellow teeth. Accessories include hat/cup for begging, penny-whistle and a dog.

Posted May 22, 2008 Maybe it will help if you are totally drunk before hand to get that 'tramp mentality'. Oh hang around on a 436-bus in the peckham area and you are bound to find PERFECT examples of what you are aiming for. Just keep a distance as the smell acts like a physical barrier.
