Security
Never fear, men. If your girlfriend is going as the diva of the moment,
Christina, Britney, maybe old-school Madonna, you can still share the
spotlight without making a fool of yourself. Every diva needs a security
guard. That's you!
One year, I was performing in a play with one of my buddies on Halloween
night. We were planning on hitting all the parties after the curtain
went down, and I dutifully brought my Britney outfit. Michael, however,
had nothing. We found a nasty wig backstage and a light blue shirt with
some dude’s name on it—obviously for a play about a mechanic,
no? Paired with his navy trousers, he immediately became “Nigel,” Britney’s
incompetent but hot security guard. Needless to say, we were a hit. It’s
a piece of cake and takes no time. What more do you want, guys?
What you'll need:
- Light blue button-up shirt or "uniform" shirt
(any shirt at vintage or thrift shops with a guy's name on
front
will run you about $10).
- Dark blue work pants or trousers
- An obnoxious British accent (optional)
- Walkie talkie
(fake ones cheap are available at toy stores;
or use a real one or your cell)

How to do it:
- Put on the clothes and…walk out the door!

Bright Ideas: Add
a bizarre wig for the fun factor, like Michael and I did. But keep
in mind, even the cheap wigs will still run you about $30.
Add some 'grease' (use your girlfriend's waterproof mascara smudged on your arms
and hands), stick a bandana in your back pocket, roll up those sleeves, and grab
a wrench. Voila! You're a sexy mechanic/plumber/fix it man. |
