I got a 60th Birthday bash on Friday and its a 1960's theme.

Now people keep saying wear flares and flowery shirts but i'm thinking Hippy's was 70's.

I was thinking more Gangster suit with hat but some say thats 1920's look.

Don't want to go as a hippy and everyone else laughs at me getting it wrong.

Beatles were 60's weren't they and that was a suit style fashion.

I don't know i am confused and i know there are some old gits on here who remember the 60's

Any help please and where is Exeter would be a good place to try.

Left it to last minute as always

i always go as the incredible hulk....(dont laugh)

but on a more serious note the best costume of all time is to go wearing normal clothes except with a condom tapped to your face. If anyone asks what you came dressed as, simply reply - F*ck nose geddit

thats a bit geeky m8!
could always go as pornstar that was popular then

as its a 60's party why not borrow some of speedys clothes and wear them, he has got to be nearly 60 by now or at least his clothes will be

problem is you'd have to cut them off with a blow torch..............
and imagine the smell not to mention his pastey skin seeing daylight for the first time in years

go as a mod
also rockers were out in the 60s as well

didnt mods ride mopeds?

Try The Real McCoy in the arcade in Fore Street.

They do some good stuff in there, that's were I got Dave's stuff when we dressed up for new year a couple of years ago.

Thanks for all your replys and help.

Mrs going to pop into The Real McCoy tomorrow.

Trying to fit everything in around work and life is impossible sometimes.

Thanks for the tip Boo. Forgot about that place
