Thread: Playboy Party Costume Ideas

Tweet

I need help with a costume idea for a Playboy theme costume party that I will be attending in October. I have asked the host if this theme was merely a 'suggested' theme, basically she would like people to try to dress in theme but dressing up in anything would be ok in the end. No dice, she wants everyone to dress Playboy.


I have a couple issues with this theme. Firstly I have NEVER been into trashy Halloween costumes, not my thing. Secondly I'm a bigger girl. There is NO WAY I'm going to parade myself out in anything less than full coverage (talk about a nightmare!!) lol


This is such a limited theme to me. Either your a bunny (NO!!), or Hugh Hefner. I have been trying to think of variations on the theme, pretty sure everyone will go in something along these lines though in an attempt to be unique. A cross dressed Hugh Hefner, a bunny that let herself go, a french maid, a photographer.


I'm really at a loss still. For all my ideas for decorating my home I find it more difficult to think up ingenious costume ideas.


Can anyone here help a gal out?

How about vintage playboy? Rock the curves. Think pin up, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Betty Page.

if it is the playboy club theme, you could rock a tuxedo.

or if you could find a white fur robe/jacket and wear some ears with that. might not be authentic per se, but still bunny related

A bunny that let herself go could be funny, you could walk around with a box of Trix.

You could also do a costume based on the original bunny design.

You could also do a 60s glam costume. According to Hef, members could bring their girl to the club and you can see at 1:21 and 2:25 and a few other places in the file footage, some men did. The host of the party may not appreciate the obscure nature of that costume though. You might want to clear it with them before going that route.

All I can think of is giant staples through the your waist.

Go as a magazine? Get a mag cover blown up, cut out the face and have some handles or straps on the backside?

That is a very odd choice of party theme... but is she going to make you leave if you don't come in costume?

If you're not feeling it, but want to give a nod to the theme, I'd either do a quick bunny logo on a teeshirt, or wear ears and a tail on regular clothes.

and then there is Hef's first wife, Mildred Williams, or his daughter, Christie...

First thing I think of is T & A. Strap on some fake plastic boobs and a fake butt. Add in a blonde wig and you'd look like Hef's girlfriends lol. You could just cut out the spots for the boobs and butt and be fully clothed that way.

how about wearing a morphsuit, morphsuit is fun and people who wear morphsuits are very unique, kind like playboy, what do you think ?

Playboy have a range of their own clothes; so as long as you stick their logo on something, no-one will know and better

OR - do whatever costume you want, and put on a pair of bunny ears and a tail. It's still in the theme

They also do a costume range, some of which are Halloween, but I'm not sure what they do size-wise, as I've never bought one.

How about a bunny(rabbit) costume wearing something sexy.
