Need Reality TV help...

How's that for an attention grabbing title?  ha ha

DH and I are invited to a birthday party in November and they are doing it as a "reality tv star" party.  My husband is SO not they type to dress up so I'm trying to think of something that would be easy for him to dress up as that doesn't require me to 1) wear next to nothing or 2) feel like a huge slob.   Everything that I can think of he has already rejected.  I personally love to dress up and don't mind spending money on things like wigs or whatever.

 

I'm trying not to post on FB because the girl that's hosting is on my friend list and I wanted to keep it a surprise (whatever "it" ends up being).   I know that some of you are SO creative! 

Thanks so much!

Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

  • You can dress up as contestants from The Amazing Race.  You both can wear backpacks.  Make passports, plane tickets, and "clues" from the show and attach them to your packs.  Then you can go as yourselves.

  • Does he have a suit?  Current Senator Sean Duffy (R., Wisconsin) and his wife, Rachel, were both on Real World (him on the Boston show and her in the San Francisco cast) and RR/RW Challenge.  He's rather infamous for claiming he struggles to survive on his $174K income, poor guy.

    I am no help but wanted to give E huge props for going with you! Chris would say no way!
    It's his friends - so if he didn't want to go, he shouldn't have mentioned it to me!!!  HA!  He's already tried to weasel his way out and I told him that I'd go and he could be the baby sitter! 

     

    Janet - that was my first thought - He poo-poo'd it.  I think he's thinking that he wants to be someone famous.  He doesn't want ot have to explain his costume. His first choice was Dog but some one else is already doing that.   

    Ashley -  He doesn't even know who they are!  If it's not Pawn Stars, Repo man (who we met while on vacation and I suggested it), Storage Wars (or whatever it's called), he doesn't know what it is.

    I actually suggested being Simon Cowell and I could be a bad singing star.  Or Brett Michaels - as long as I don't have to be a hooker.  Hmmm - maybe one of those fake boob/chest things????

    I also thought project runway would be fun but he doesn't want to do that either.

    Oooh - I should tell him we could do Hell's Kitchen!  OMG - that might be it!!!!  He can be Gordon Ramsey and say the F word a lot!  OMG - I have to go tell him.  (Watch - he'll totally shoot that down too)

  • I was thinking Amazing Race as well - pretty easy and comfy.

    You could do bachelor/bachelorette - you could wear a super cute cocktail type dress and E could wear khakis and a nice shirt or a suit and one or both of you could carry/wear roses.

    Top Chef/Hells's Kitchen/Cupcake Wars/Master Chef contestants with chef's jackets or aprons.

    Real Housewives of NJ?  Cocktail dress and big hair for you, dress shirt and gold chain for E.

    I'll keep thinking.  Clearly I watch far too much reality t.v.

    I had to google this since I am a huge rr/rw fan. I can't believe they have 6 kids. 

  • I don't know if E would do this but we did it one year and it was a HIT...  Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne.  You need big jewels, he needs TONS of fake tatoos, track pants, and a cane. 

    Seriously it's a funny costume. 

    Other than that I think Casey & Vienna would be awesome.  Or he could be Jeff Probst and you could be a Survivor.  Or Julie Chen & a Big Brother contestant... they often make them wear unitards... that's it!  You be Julie Chen and put E in a unitard!  HA!  :):):):):)  J/K
