    I'm on the social club at work and we have a yearly mid-winter ball. This is on in August. We've decided the theme is "storybook". As I have a heads up on a theme I'm already looking at costumes (I love dressing up). My OH and I want to go as a couple costume and are trying to think of ideas. My OH wants to go as anti-heros (i.e eveil characters that would go together).

    So far, our best idea is cruella de vil and a dalmation (with my oh being the dalmation). I'm not sure if it is stretching the storybook thing too far - although 101 dalmations is a book.

    Any other ideas? We've also thought about the queen and king of hearts from alice in wonderland. I guess as I'm on the committee organising it I want to make sure my costume impresses!

    Well the obvious ones that stick out are -
    Red Riding Hood & Wolf
    Beauty & Beast (Maybe not anti-hero enough for him ?)

    Ye could go as the old woman who lived in a shoe! With one of you being the old woman and the other being the shoe. Although, fashioning a shoe costume might prove awkward...

    If you're willing to go all out on awkward costumes, how about the dish and the spoon from "Hey Diddle Diddle"? It's a nursery rhyme, which is close enough!

    How about the witch and her flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz?
