... who would you go as?
Basically, gimmie ideas! I'm quite fat, white and tall. All I can think of is meatloaf... I'd much rather go as someone like Rory Gallagher (Which I might be able to pull of 90's Rory - Rocking the double denim and plaid shirt). Really can't think of any other ideas though.
By the way, I'm sort of still in my youth so I'm using that as an excuse to pick whatever I want. Feel free to post any pictures of you in fancy dress to this thread if you have the balls.
Is it a bad idea to black myself up and go as BB king?

I think I would go as the Big 'O', or perhaps Elvis in his later years. I would be pushing the limits of plausibility with both Cliff and Hank Marvin, as I've piled on the pounds of late!
As for the 90's I'm a bit stumped, as a rule most pop stars seem to be almost anorexic.
I, like many folk on this board, would probably (and somewhat tragically) make a passable Francis Rossi with no real effort.
Since it's fancy dress you are going to have to pick something distinctive. MC Hammer. Elton John. Vanilla Ice. Pavarotti. Madonna. Anyone from Kiss.
possibly true!
My hair has gone a funny shade of 'light black' :0) (I'm going to have to aim for the Steve Martin Look)
Did someone shove a beer bottle where the sun don't shine?

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

Buster Hymen?
If you can do the sarcastic humour too, the night will be fun, fun, fun.
Go as Pavarotti.
Kiss is do-able releatively cheaply, if you can lay hands on the makeup and have someone competent to apply it - to this day I remember spray-painting lengths of garden hose silver and the ingenuity with which I connected them for my Ace Frehley. Shame I can't find any pictures at the start of the evening, only the 'much-worse-for-wear' one from when we got back to the squat...

Personally, these days I reckon I could pull off a pretty convincing Ginger Wildheart.
If I were a woman, my wedding dress would be shite.
