Need suggestions for 80's icon fancy dress costumes?

How fabulous would it be to go dressed like this?

Pee-wee!

@Likeradar Dear God, that’s brilliant. I want to go!

Boy George
Adam Ant
Madonna
Cindy Lauper
Hulk Hogan
Mr. T

Is your hair long enough to style like Nick Rhodes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYY5L10cDbM
or this guy? http://images.google.com/images?oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=adam+ant&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=wgd7S4CeNIuMlAejuYWjDw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCcQsAQwAw

You should go as Billy Idol, and your wife could be Molly Ringwald.

I second Billy Idol.

@gemiwing Me too! I’m thinking if I have any excuse to throw a party just so I can find a dress like that.

You could dress up like 80s Boy George. Why is it illegal for girls

Black Michael Jackson à la Thriller?

@Sarcasm Haven’t heard from that person (any one of her 15 or so personaltites) in quite some time. Did our troll give up?

The hitman & her aarrgghh!

I’ve done Adam Ant before but I like the Billy Idol idea, or maybe Bowie?

@RareDenver It would have to be Labyrinth Bowie.

You should dress up as Jemaine (from Flight of the Conchords) dressed up as Bowie.

@jfos I fucking love it

@jfos “Wear the funky, funky eye patch, Bret.”

@jfos brilliant.

Billy Idol and Cyndi Lauper

The Club Kids were pretty outrageous

Dee Snyder and the boys from Twisted Sister.

That video brought me to this. ha!

Which then brought me to this song. Aw, 80’s.

Jeans, flannel shirt, Keds sneakers

I was all excited when I saw this and was about to post Billy Idol when I saw @jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities beat me to it. I will cut you…

Another option is Jeff Spicoli from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.

Classic.

YES. I was going to say Labyrinth Bowie. Your wife could be Sarah from the dream sequence. That was a fancy dress.

Axyl Rose and Madonna?

You could do Westley and Buttercup from The Princess Bride.

oops, they are characters. Does that not count?

Parachute pants, tight glittery vests and puffy hair!

Sorry…all I know about the eighties is what I see in old Halloween movies.

For the guy: Miami Vice is very doable: http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Miami-Vice-Wallpaper-miami-vice-784335_1280_960.jpg

for the gal: brightly colored clothes: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.casagamble.net/images/hen/80s02.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.casagamble.net/hen_80s.shtml&usg=__UBO2g3oBKf2ttIVHBzCeW7hLNW8=&h=535&w=800&sz=90&hl=en&start=53&itbs=1&tbnid=HVxTCsCQJ7CodM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3D80s%2Boutfits%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D36

Nothing screams 80’s quite like Hall and Oates.

Or if you can find a white sport jacket and a pastel t shirt, you’ve got the Miami Vice look down.

Or if you want to be super 80s chic, google “Adam Ant”.
