Fancy dress ideas

[baconsarnie]

In a couple of weeks i will need a costume of sorts, vaguely related to the olympics if possible. The only thing i can think of at the moment would be to dress up as the olympic torch, but i have no idea how i would do that.
If all else fails i can go for my backup, dress up as Dr Zoidberg.
Any thoughts, suggestions?

Wear your country's uniform in some sort of sporting event?

But it has to be something that's noticeable as a sport people only care about when it's the Olympics. So definitely not football, maybe swimming? Or gymnastics?

Just sayin'...

Would there be anyway to dress yourself in different colour stripes to represent the olympic rings?

Go as the Joker from Batman, all you need is makeup and it's not too hard to do.

I have the perfect compromise

Athletic AND Zoidberg!

Dress up as Bart Simpson and have your sister give you head everywhere
Maybe just a novelty athlete or something?

That could work, cardboard box with the olympic flag on all sides possibly?

Possibly a bit too generic?

I do appreciate all ideas.

Oh, I know the perfect one. It's actually a videogame cosplay, but it fits with the sports theme. If you just get into character, it'll be great.

Spoiler: This guy shows how it's done.

One of the best cosplays I've ever seen.

This thread is a hive of humour, and that's an incredible QWOP cosplay

FUCKING QWOP!

OT: Just wear this: http://tinyurl.com/cj4dxnq

If you want, I can try describing it for you.

A partial example of us trying: Ariel wore a new holiday dress that was based on the pink dress she wore in the movie, but had a pink satin cape that was edged with white fox fur. The fur was studded with silver filigree alternating with brilliant-cut aquamarines. The cape was held closed with a pink scallop shell with additional embedded aquamarines. The jewel motif repeated in a cascade down the center front of her bodice with even more jewels sprinkled over her seashell pink overdress and dusty rose pink underdress. Her puffed sleeves, also dusty rose, each had three slashes that revealed soft pink fabric underneath, with small seashells nestled like buttons at the top of the slits and jewels resting on the bottom. There were three rosettes cascading down the the lower sleeve that ended at the wrist with a flourish of pearl, and her creamy throat was shown off with a high collar of lavender satin with dusty rose scrollwork echoing the waves of the ocean.

Go as Boris Johnson

Go as Boris Johnson

Then Boris Johnson would see him and become all confused and make less sense than he does already.

I was a bit worried as well when i read it, glad for the clarification.
This was something i was considering but would be effort to put together.

Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. Wrong Olympics I grant you, but has there been a better British Olympian? Plus he looks pretty hilarious, dem glasses.
