right. youre talking to silly fancy dress guru here.

if you have some beige overalls, a backpack, and a length of hose, its easy to make your own ghostbusters outfit. tape wierd shaped bits of cardboard to the pack so it looks more futuristic. lead the hose from inside the pack to the front. attach it to some kindof water pistol/toy gun. get some logos off the net and pin them to the overalls.

conan the barbarian/she ra /who ever is also easy. wear something skimpy underneath, then duct tape oval shaped peices of silver cardboard to you arms legs and torso to look like armour. for the sword, get a light length of wood, and tape two lengths of cardboard together with the pole between them.

the queen is also a hit. find any sort of dress - preferable pastel coloured [go to 2nd hand clothes store if you have nothing at home.]. surf the net to find the biggest picture of the queens face possible. print it, and see how big it is compared to your face. use a graphic s program to increase the size. then print it off, touch it up with some pen [enhance the wrinkles] put it on a stick, then you have masquerade style queen mask.

an old ladie from monty python is easy. an old floral dress. a cheap tacky raincoat, and a scarf on the head will set you back about $10 at the local st vincent de paul shop.

hope that helps. if you need any more ideas, or a beeter explaination let me know.
