Mind the costume…

[livejournal.com profile] actionreplay is going to a London Underground-themed fancy dress party, and was looking for suggestions for costumes based on tube stations (ruling out Victoria, Angel or Kings Cross as that’s far too obvious).

In less than 3 minutes, my brain came up with the following suggestions that I’d never enact:

Shepherds’ Bush Market – go as a shepherd, with a codpiece upon which market vegetables are stuck.

Queensway – dress up as the Queen, with a placard saying “This is my way!”

Waterloo – a portable urinal with some handy drinking water nearby?

Elephant and Castle – a hat which looks like a castle, with an elephant on it?

White City – just a white bra, and perhaps a hearing aid…

Cockfosters - erm…. well, you’ll need a can of Fosters. And possibly a male chicken.

Care to add to this fun list?

Dog Costume for Walthamstow. (Does it have to be literal?)

BTW I have also posted this to The Ladies Loos. Very many amusing suggestions over there!

The Oval. Erm...yeah, that's a little too straightforward.

How about Wimbledon? Go dressed in tennis whites, or as a racquet, or even as a bright green furry tennis ball?

short shorts

If you need inspiration for this I can show you me and Darren's last Halloween costumes. :)

I'd go Earl's Court myself. You realise Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is required reading for this, don't you?

Find a really big wig and go as High Barnet.

A green witch with a compass for grenwich north? Or as a croissant for mornington crescent?

If we're being pervy am sure something can be done with Arsenal!
