Title: Costume Help!
Post by: Jon T. on Mar 13, 2012, 02:05 PM
My wife and I are going to a theme party next weekend where the theme is rock stars.  I'm having a hard time coming up with costume ideas.  Right now the only idea I can come up with is Rick Allen from Def Leppard.  But, I don't want to be offensive.  I don't think that would be but I'm trying to come up with other ideas.  Anybody have any funny/better ideas?  I have a couple friends that are going as LMFAO, which will be pretty tough to beat as I'm sure they'll be spot on.

How bout Lady Gaga,  I think her meat dress is pretty awesome. Hopefully you don't run into any dogs.  Although she doesn't qualify as a rock star.

Haha, I actually thought about that for about one second. 

I'm also thinking about making it abstract.  I thought about the old man on the cover of Led Zep IV.  That would be fairly simple, but I'm not sure many people would "get it".

I know we're doing some kind of karaoke. I think it might be a band, not sure.  Anyway, bonus points if I could karaoke in character.

Here's a few more  Joe Cocker, Ziggy Stardust, David lee Roth, John Popper or the cowbell guy in Blue Oyster Cult ( Will Farrel Character from snl )

Ooh, Fat Axl has potential!  And you know any self respecting karaoke band's got some GnR in their repertoire.

Thx for the suggestions, guys!

Fat Axl is the best choice....and you need like a turkey leg in that hand for the costume to be complete.

 A couple I know cross dressed as Sunny and Cher one time.   It was hilarious.

What do you think that line underneath fat Axl's chin is? Cosmetic surgery scar or just a middle-aged, fat Axl crease? Also, you should definitely go as fat Axl. Bright yellow raincoat should not be that hard to find.

I guess I'm dating myself, but last Halloween I fulfilled a lifelong dream and I was the Pinball Wizard.  Not a rock star per se...but Elton John portraying the Pinball Wizard in the Who's Tommy qualifies, I would think.
