    Re: "when i grow up" party - costume ideas please!
    I went to one of these parties last year and I took my inspiration from before I really thought about work.

    I went as a woodland faerie!



    Think further back and go as something you wanted to be when you were really young, like a princess or barbie? :]

    Dressing up as Lady Gaga
    I love Lady Gaga and really want to dress up as her on halloween, but as i looked into it more i saw that other people dressed up as here, so to avoid looking the same as anyone else i choose to make my outfit so no one would have a similar one. but my problem is i dont want to attract the wrong type of attention in it, i just wanna go out with my girls. Basically do you guys think that a pale pink pvc skirt that goes from my knees to under my ribs and a black bra is to much?

    If you're not sure on the bra, how about them boob tubes but the cropped ones? Not sure what they're called I'm afraid, but they're in the high street at the minute

    Hello Jessica,

    No, don't think you would get the wrong type of attention a few stares perhaps but its Halloween and I assume you will be with friends, who will be looking equally weird, I mean dressed up..

    On the face of it... probably.

    But it may depend on what you were wearing.

    Meh - it depends. Do you think it's slutty for a girl to wear a tight mini skirt and tight top baring lots of flesh?
