Thread: Costume ideas to show off???

Tweet

I hope this isn't too innapropriate. Let's try to keep the responses as clean as possible. I am looking for a costume idea to show off a bit of surgery up top...

I like this Ariel but it doesn't fit our Time Warp theme.

I also like Rikki's idea for a 50s pin-up model.

And I'd build my costume around these shoes.
Amazon.com: Iron Fist Sugar Witch Platform Shoe - Charcoal (Vegan): Shoes

Any ideas that fit out Time Warp theme. Basically the theme is just through time. 80s, hippies, flappers, mobsters, classic figures like Marilyn Monroe & James Dean, or way back to cave men, Marie Antionette, etc.

The Disney Little Mermaid is a part of the 1990s. That movie was the rebirth of Disney's animated franchise (it was released at the end of 89, but won the academy award in 90) - the first blockbuster for them since 1977. She's an icon of the early 90s, so if you really wanted to be her, do it!

Another icon that technically isn't a "real" person, and yet would be awesome for what you want to display, would be Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" movie. I LOVE her - she's a fun character and it is a great costume. She could represent the 1980s or the 1940s (considering the time period - 1947 - that the movie itself was placed in).

Both Jessica Biel and Katy Perry have appeared costumed as her in the last couple of years - so she's still a recognizable figure too...

Okay, time warp and showing off your "assets" right?

1980s

How about the material girl from the material girl video?


Glam with a nod to Marilyn. Great dress, add gobs of diamonds and you've got a nice little costume.


1970s

Dancing Queen/Disco Babe? There are tons of costumes that would be fun and sexy.

1970s Cher had some awesome costumes...
Something revealing and costume-y with the long straight black hair, and you'll have her look down.

What about something from here.

Those shoes just absolutely SCREAM pin-up. Don't you already have a black wig with bangs? (I know it has ponytails, but maybe it would work) Sort of a Bettie Paige look. Rikki's costume is spot-on, as usual. How about these vintage witch pics:

How about the Neo-Victorian Industrial aka Steampunk? A lot of the outfits involve corsets and bustles to show off the ahem... improved areas.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I love the Jessica Rabbit idea. But I also like the justification to make Ariel fit the theme. I think I'll go with that. Although, if I don't do the pin-up this year, probably next year.

I'm leaning towards the pin-up I think. I love piecing together costumes. Plus I wont be able to shop for the top of my outfit until last minute and I could get a top for this in store vs needing to order a costume.

My black wig wont work, it is a little too punk. If my hair is long enough in time, I will get it styled.

I love the colors in those shoes, the turquoise blue and the pink!! They are rockin'!

I love love the shoes!
