Famous East Londoners

[sufcintheprem]

I've been invited to a party where the theme for dressing up is apparently East Enders (not necessarily off of the programme).

I don't know why they are insisting on fancy dress but it could be quite funny.

Whilst this initially seems to give quite a wide berth, I'm actually struggling to think of any that have a distinctive enough look. Does anyone have any good suggestions? If it helps, there are 1 or 2 other people who can be roped in to ideas involving more than one person (e.g. the Krays)

Ok, its an Eastender but ....

 

[sufcintheprem]

Don't know if I've got the smile to pull it off. Also not convinced going out in East London in drag is the best idea!

The Kray twins.

Jack the Ripper.

Just dress up as a chimney sweep.

Gain 15 stone, shave your head, move to Basildon and drag your knuckles around the room. That should crack it.

She most definately isn't laughing here,

All interesting suggestions. Cheers for the help.

As for the verdict, apparently a lot of people have been mutinying on the idea so it might not happen at all. Will certainly save a lot of effort but still a bit fo a shame.

How about Danny Dyer the football hooligan wannabee?...

Buy a knocked off Stone Island coat and Burberry hat from Pitsea market, Add plenty of fruit to your bowl, dont shave for a week in advance, stick a couple of sovereigns on your fingers and a have benson hanging out of your mouth...

Then, bowl around with attitude, and a proper cockney accent, and tell stories to everyone of how you smashed a few 'Wall down Surrey Quays the other week..

Isn't Paul Brush a cockernee? Wear a Southend tracksuit and stick P B on it....job's a good 'un!

Barbara Windsor - I CANNOT stand that woman - gangsters moll, sh!t actress and, not wishing to mock the afflicted, if you have a slight speech impediment your son's name (Eastenders) wouldn't start with an R would it.

What about Frank butcher?

Large tinted specs.
White flat cap.
Leo Gemelli Jumper and gold chain.

Ended up going as chimney sweeps. Flat caps, waist coats, plenty of greys and browns and a brush from B&Q. Oh and plenty of sooty face paint on everything including the white carpet at my mate's house.

Went down really well in the club from what I remember.
