Title: Costume ideas
Post by: Tom M on 16 September, 2009, 12:32:59 pm: Are invited to a fancy dress do with a theme of dead heros and heroines from history. Will probably go as Tom Simpson myself (simples!), but are struggling with the wife (no sniggering at the back...). Any thoughts on an idea that would give an easy costume for someone with her Nigella-like build?

From a safe distance with a pre-planned escape route.

Or defuse the situation by suggesting Marilyn Monroe.

Post by: Tim on 16 September, 2009, 05:11:05 pm: Could you subvert it slightly then and make it currently living heroes/heroines in the manner of their untimely demise?

So Nigella with a kitchen knife accident etc? Bit of fake blood and a knife handle attached to the side of the head if you see what I mean.
