80s Theme Fancy Dress

[JTRS]

My first gig which is an 80's theme is also a fancy dress, I thought I'd enter into the spirit and get dressed up too, I'm looking for ideas of who/what to go as from experienced DJ's.

Thanks in advance

You could go as Pete Burns, Simon :)

[Excalibur]

Boy George.

Wish you said. Ive just flogged a exact replica flight suit of maverick from Top Gun. Not strictly DJish, but just because your the dj doesnt mean you have to be an 80s dj :)

[Candybeatdiscos]

Jon Bon Jovi - complete with pre BBQ trim
or pretty much any mullet to go with any rock band or Pat Sharpe lol

Mr T !
Adam (without the ants)

Knight Rider

Boy George.
If he's anything like the majority of members on here it'll have to be more like Divine :sj:

A Rubix Cube is usually quite comical, especially if you are DJing. If you want to keep it simple I would recommend either a "Frankie Says Relax" or a "Choose Life" T-Shirt. You could probably get these printed at ant T-shirt website or any local printer.

Neon is always a cheap good shout as well. You know the things that you can stick around your wrists and neck and head etc!!!!!!!!

Have a look at some of these vids if you need any other inspiration they are 80's theme parties that we have done in the past. The audio has been taken taken off because of licensing (which is nice!!!!!)

YouTube - 80's Video DJ Set

There seem to be loads of 80's themes about at the moment?

Funny you should say that I was thinking about that, but wasn't sure about DJing whilst wearing a box

I think that it would be really hard mate. I also think that you would end up sweating like a pig. Cheers MAX

George Michael is an easy look to achieve.

I guess that is so... simply omit shaving for a week and turn up sporting a pair of handcuffs :D

And spend half the night in the toilets.

Oh, Rob, you're such a wag :D

Post us a pic of yourself so we can give some suggestions that would be easy to achieve. No point us telling you to get a Jimmy Savile tracksuit & bling if Demis Roussos would be more appropriate ;)

Knight Rider????????????????

The gig was last night and it went really well, I think I'm really going to like DJing (I suspected as much though before I bought all the stuff).

In the end I went as Mr T.

Thanks to all who suggested

That would have been my suggestion too..... mmmmmmmmmm. Very nice outfit

Awww too late, but Some bling jewellery, a Shell suit, a Blonde/Grey wig and some yellow shades and you are Jimmy Saville.

I did think of Jimmy Saville because I am from Leeds and have the accent, but I'm terrible at impressions, so 'Crazy Fool' is easier to say than 'Now then Now then'
