So, you've opted for the swashbuckling pirate look have you? Let's
hope you have Adam's carefully chiseled cheekbones and pots of war
paint (Or Boots No.5 Cherry Red lipstick). Here's Adam in his pirate
heyday, before his dandy highwayman incarnation. Fancy dress shops
should be stacked with knockdown, cast-off panto/pirate costumes and
you can always find the kinky PVC trews from Ann Summers (apparently)
if the costumiers have run out.
Want to wield your mighty sword just like Adam? Again you should
be able to come by some cheap plastic swords at toy shops or Woolies.
There, and now you're ready to stomp through the kitchen singing
Prince Charming. In many ways, Adam was the ultimate fancy dress
popster. No surprise that Adam's current favourite act is the equally
theatrical Marilyn Manson and no wonder the V&A Museum in London
still has his costumes. "I can always get them back if I need
to flog them," says Adam. Whatever you do Adam, remember, ridicule is
nothing to be scared ofÂ…
A catch-all costume really because if people don't get the Adam
& The Ants analogy you can just say you've come as a pirate.
Watch where you wave that sword dear. There's some expensive crockery
in the kitchen.
