Hoi DT. We are in need of ideas for a fancy dress. The theme is wide ranging. Someone from 80s, 90s, 00s.

There are two teenage girls going who would like to be in theme together (as in a pair) e.g. Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love.

Edit: Dressing as male is not an issue, dressing as two female characters might be more comfortable.

Bear in mind they would need to be recognizable by kids the same age so nothing too esoteric

Marty McFly & Doc Brown

Edit - 80s theme obviously

I was thinking about this movie (Bogus Journey actually) earlier today. The payoff at the end is just so great...

The Paris and Nicole is really strong! Thank you!

No worries! I loved all the other suggestions, but was thinking, easy (to find an outfit/wigs etc.) and for girls and recognisable/relatable.

Hope it all works out well!
