    Mar 3, 2011 - Secret Agent Man...what's out there? #1

    I'm THINKING about dressing up for a local event, mostly to hang out with some friends and have a good time, but I do not want to go as the regular black jacket black pantsd white shirt black tie secret agent (read: B.O.R.I.N.G.!!!)

    So what can one put together in three weeks with a shoe-string budget (since this is a one-off thing, I don't wanna spoend much on it), but still looks decent enough to not be yawn-inducing?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    I like the idea but sadly, not many here would know or remewmber Maxwell Smart...

    And I don't particularly like the idea of walking round the entire evening with a shoe to my ear waiting for someone to ask me what I'm doing with that

    Thanks for the suggestions Contec.

    All those have been ruled out before I started this thread...too predictable.

    And I HATE Austin Powers!

    First choice on my list but unfortunately with the tight deadline and my currently extremely hectic schedule, I do not have time to build the mask (simple as it looks) and the hat ...
