I got forced into attending a costume party by my wife that has a 1980’s theme. Looking for ideas that would be over the top. No kids attending. Was thinking about running around as an obnoxious Richard Simmons selling the Sweat’n to the Oldies tapes. Wife won’t let me be John Holmes 
80’s…. then definitely a KISS member…. Gene Simmons if possible 
Richards brother…..

Don Johnson. Pink suit coat, jeans. Ohh yeah, your styling
I agree with Farmboy, you have to wear a pink shirt or sportcoat. Thin ties were in, often loosely hanging around your neck, shirt unbuttoned.
Stone washed denim, say a jean jacket and matching jeans, with a pink shirt, thin tie, and loud shoes, white high tops with neon laces and some type of loud colored plastic sunglasses!
Think Corey Haim!
have fun! 
Jeez, I don’t see the point. I’m still wearing the same clothes I had in the 80’s. No, I literally mean it. These are the same clothes. I’ve been wearing them for 30 years now.
My wife is always making ridiculous suggestions about clothes shopping. The way I go through jigs and plastics on Pool 2 I don’t have time or money for clothes.

LMAO – wish I could still fit in the clothes I wore in the 80’s….30lbs later..
Brother n law is alreay doing Kiss, and a neighbor dresses like Don Johnson everyday so I know he’ll already be doing that one. Was also thinking Cooter from Dukes of Hazzard….would like to see my wife as Daisey Duke (or at least in those shorts) 
Bob – I did that one a couple years ago Thats why I can no longer do any more adult themed ideas
I’m dressing as a pheasant hunter tomorrow.

KISS 1970’s Right
Six words. Say hello to my little friend. Tony Montana. Tie a bag of backing soda around your neck and you’ll be the life of the party. Just don’t ask a cop for directions.

Did they skip the 80’s ???? I know they came out and grew in popularity in the 70’s…. I also recall listening to Animalize and Lick It Up and seeing them… in the 80’s…. my head wasn’t in a fog……not all the time anyways… In case you didn’t know, they were around in the 90’s and even are reformed today… I know, I know, the real KISS was Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter….

First idea was the best, I think… Richard Simmons outfit. Although, I’d have to have a HECK of a lot beers in me before I even showed up at the party to pull that off.
Good luck, and post pictures!!!! LOL
One of these years I’d like to go as a digital mamography machine… Fingers are digital, right??? Not 80’s related, but still good….
Going to do the Richard Simmons. I found a video on Youtube we are going copy from when he was on Who’s Line is it anyways. I’ll need a lot of whiskey by 5:00pm for this one…better start now
Nice! Best of luck…
Again —- PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
No pictures, no videos, no embarassments

That is was I meant the real kiss in costume… I beleve that they spent a lot of the 80 out of costume
Am I too Late?
I’m surprised this wasn’t suggested, but it’ll be a super-easy idea for your NEXT 80’s-themed thing
Is this 80’s enough? My wife and I made these from scratch this year!
