Allow me to pick your imaginations again. Got a 70's fancy dress do coming up, want to go as something original, not just flares and platforms. Any ideas? i was thinking of getting a storm trooper outfit but they are a bit pricey. Alex out of a clockwork orange could be pretty funny?

i might go as sam allardyce, are there replica shirts from the 70's available anywhere?

Go as David Bedford

or Elton John in Tommy

Or Elvis in is fat, bloated, dead on a toilet phase

Twas the era of Grease. What more do you need? Go Fonzie style.

But Grease is set in the 1950's...

How about something Glam Rock? A Noddy Holder mirrored top hat... or Alvin Stardust black glove with rings... but NOT Gary Glitter

Kenny Everett's Cupid Stunts, or his business-man in suit, brolly, brief case, but the back of the suit cut away to reveal stockings, suspenders & bra.

The classic look of Doctor Who .... with the long scarf etc.

.... or go as Gary Glitter !!! That should start a few conversations AND make sure the kids are kept away.

You could go in Coventry City's choclate brown kit. You'd be a dead cert to trap off too in that!

Don't forget to turn up on a Space Hopper, too.

I got invited to one of these a few years ago and couldnt be ar5ed with all the flares n stuff. I shaved me head, rolled up me jeans and with a bit of the wifes mascara did a 'Borstal tear' on me face. Result - one scary looking skinhead.

The best costume there though was a bloke in a Brazil footy shirt, white trousers and covered in fake tan. I'm not sure what he was meant to be but he looked so 70s it worked.

You could go as Rod Hull & Emu or Rolf harris & his stylophone. They sold so may of em at the time somebody somewhere must have them lying around in a wardrobe or an attic somewhere.
