It’s Senior Week at my high school… well, next week is, anyway… and Monday is costume day. Dress up as a famous person or some crap. My best friend and I want to do a together costume but we couldn’t come up with many female duos…
Ideas we’ve come up with:
[ul][li]The Dixie Chicks: I’d be Martie on fiddle, because I have the same haircut as her and we “both have large breasts,” according to Sara (the aforementioned friend). She’d be Natalie, the lead singer, because they’ve both got short hair and no chest. I actually look more like Natalie body-type-wise except for the hair and chest but Sara called it first. Costume: funky clothing and accessories, a fiddle, a guitar, a plastic trashbag full of clothes meant to be a dead body, labeled “EARL”. “But there are THREE Dixie Chicks!” “Yeah, but Emily’s back on the bus.”[/li]
[li] Good and Evil/Jehovah and Satan/Angel and Devil/Etc: Rather obvious.[/li]
[li] Spy vs Spy: We’d see if we could get away with setting traps for each other around the school. The problem is we don’t have the hats … or the imagination to come up with the traps…[/li][/ul]

Ultra-spiffy. You can make the hats out of cardboard. I’ll help with ideas for the traps.
But if you’re open to non female roles, how about one dressed in a suit w/attache, the other with a white coat - and you’re Geoffrey Fieger(attorney)) and Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
(ok, so that may be a little esoteric)
Probably Jehovah. I’d rather be Jehovah than an angel… Sara’s got good devil-hair, ya know?
Maybe we could go wear one of those angle-measure thingies (protractor! that’s it!) and a piece of satin. “We were supposed to be Satan and an angel, but there were some spelling mistakes…”
Burt and Ernie?
Milo and Otis?
Batman and Robin?
Beavis and Butthead?
Terrance and Phillip?
Abbott and Costello? [gotta learn that “who’s on first” joke for this one.]
Calvin and Hobbes? [cartoon or philosophers, your choice]
Rodgers and Hammerstein? [what do they look like anyway?]
Wally and the Beav’?
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince?
R2-D2 and C3PO?
Tweety and Sylvester?
The Road Runner and Wyle E. Coyote?
Big Bird and Snuffaluffagus?
Well, sweetie, I’m out of ideas for you to try on.

A friend and I did the Spy vs Spy thing for Halloween once–it was hilarious. You need to define something that you’re both after–a particular jar out of the chem lab, or a folder off some staff member’s desk, or something–and choreograph your “attempts” to get it.
And yeah, my friend and I did this for Halloween. I looked a lot like Silent Bob & my buddy looked a lot like Jay. I didn’t talk for the whole night (intrigued a lot of people) & we won 2nd place for costumes. My friend also got the Jay talk down. That’s the only problem I see if it’s at a high school: Jay’s pretty dang vulgar.
Go as Playboy Bunnies!
Or one of you go as a bunny and the other go as Hef.
I went as Hef to my HS dressup day. (just wear mens silk pjs and a robe, pipe is good too)
How about Baywatch?
Pretty easy you just need some red one-piece swimsuits. You could run throught the hall in slo-motion.
Or…
Cinderella and Ugly Stepsister
Snow White and Evil Queen
but the best would be
One of you go as the Crouching Tiger and the other go as the Hidden Dragon. Think of the fun you could have then!
Kelly and Peg Bundy
Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman
Scylla and Charybdis
Batwoman and Bat-girl
Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl
The Wonder Twins
Lorena Bobbitt and Tonya Harding
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera
Once in graduate school they had a “Come As Your Favorite Revolutionary” party. (Most of the people there were Marxists.) It drew the expected contingent of Marxs, Lenins, Ches. I like to do things offbeat, though.
So I had a beard & long hair, and a pair of granny glasses. My then-wife had long black hair. She used makeup to approximate looking Japanese. We had identical T-shirts made up, black on white saying:
WAR IS OVER
IF YOU WANT IT
We were the instant hit of the party as John & Yoko.
Bad Taste Dept.: The revolutionary wall hangings had red paint freshly applied just before the party began. While dancing I pulled off my T-shirt, dipped my hands in the red paint, and smeared it on my body.
Gunny– Yeah! Then we can spend the whole day explaining who we are and why people should care! But then we also get to fake the cute lil accents… Hmmm… lord knows I’ve got the Sadler-stuff to do it…
