Fancy dress help?

Hey guys,

My man and I have managed to wangle a couple of last minute Candy Box tickets (due to someone else's misfortune unfortunately, but thank you honey!) and now we're struggling with the fancy dress theme. I'm pretty much sorted, although I'm not going strictly sci-fi, more fantasy, but I think I'll get away with it (not wanting to give away too much), but the man is struggling to think of anything. Due to limited time and resources, and brain failure on both our parts, we're well and truly stumped! He's tall, skinny and has big hair - anyone got any ideas for something quick, easy and effective?

If he can grow a beard very quickly you could go as Beauty and the Beast from that 80's or 90's TV show!

Failing that just put him in a sharp suit like the one he wore at Halloween last year.

Interesting idea - but I'm already sorted. The test of my costume though, will be whether or not you recognise who I'm meant to be, Gehenna - if anyone's going to get it, you will ^_^

At the minute we're mulling over trying to get hold of a red jacket and some orange hairspray and do him up as Fry from Futurama ^___^

We considered that as he can easily get his hands on a lab coat - he wanted to be Doc Brown from Back to the Future! It was what to wear under the lab coat that was putting him off - can't see your average mad scientist in jeans >_<

lol Shirt, suit trousers and shoes. Costume done once lab coat is donned.

I think the idea's grabbed him - he's planning on a lab coat, goggles, and any other accessories ha can get his hands on - he was even talking about test tubes ... I think we've created a monster >_<
