    Re: Literal Band Names Fancy Dress Theme
    [QUOTE=aliluvschoc;37494899]What exactly do you mean as 'the name of this theme'? Surely the name is literal band names? :confused:

    i just wasn't sure wanted to know if anyone else had this theme and if so what they called it

    Yes, it is most depressing.

    To look really like Lady Gaga you're going to need a very bright coloured fake looking wig, some ridiculous high heels and then just an insane outfit. Maybe stick some random things you can find at home on it too...

    That's what I was thinking, and with a painted lightning bolt on my face. I wear glasses, but I might stick some crazy triangles to the rims to fit it in.
