Right, fancy dress wizards... I've got to go to a Grease themed party (for work, of all things - Black Tie would be preferable). Don't want to go for the obvious Pink Lady/T-Bird costume.

Any alternative ideas?

Greece you say





Does anyone else love gladiator films?

Yup, the Greece idea has already come up... could be an option.

@ GTVlusso - like the Sandy idea, execution might be a challenge!

Double bonus:

Cover a wetsuit in grease and roll in some sand!!!!

Not sure I could quite be a Gerard Butler body double.

I once went as The Flaming Carrot to a superheroes party. The costume wasn't all that but the hairdo needed extreme structural support... think beehive but taller and more conical

Surely this must be a case of pictures or it didn't happen.

Oh, come now. I'm sure you're easily as big as two Gerard Butlers. If not, eat more pies.

Austin Powers wig/glasses, and any disgusting shirt that happens to fall out of the wardrobe.

Lots of possibilities if someone has a "Tube Station" theme. Apart from all the obvious green vicars, ski chalets etc. I've seen:
Girl in dirndl with beers
Guy in bandages
Girl in nun costume with crucifix and wimple

(10 brownie points for each one you can figure out...)

I know a couple who went as Barbican - she as Barbie, he as a can.

I'm not a great one for fancy dress, so when the pub I worked in said all staff had to join in to their 'A' themed party I just wore an old Arsenal Away top and if anyone asked, I was Nicolas Anelka.

In other words, I wore a t-shirt.
