How to Create an Austin Powers Costume

Look absolutely smashing for your next costume party or Halloween shindig. Yeah, baby, yeah!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Austin Powers Costumes
• White Briefs
• Curling Irons

1. Survey the amount of hair on your chest. Hairy is ideal, though you may want to shave some off in an irresistibly phallic shape. If bare-chested, try penciling in chest hairs with eyeliner.
2. Enhance shagadelic power with a male symbol pendant on a silver chain.
3. Pull on tight briefs with a British flag emblazoned on the bottom.
4. Button up a white shirt with long, lacy sleeves.
5. Slip into velvet pants in either blue or red. Put on a matching blue or red velvet blazer.
6. Tie a cravat around your neck so that it hangs over your blazer.
7. Find fake, bad teeth to wear over your own. Put on black-rimmed glasses.
8. Inspect your hair: Brown, overgrown and mop-like is best. Curl it slightly with a curling iron and brush it down, allowing bangs to cover most of your forehead.
9. Consider purchasing a wig if your hair refuses to be coaxed into the Austin look.

Tips & Warnings

• Smile and wink a lot.
• Work into your vocabulary words like "randy," "groovy," "smashing" and "baby."
• Concentrate on finding your next shag.
• Convince your girlfriend to dress as Felicity Shagwell or a fembot (see Related eHows and Related Items). Keep asking her, "Do I make you horny, baby?"
• If your local shops aren't groovy enough for your Austin Powers style, that's a drag, baby, but there's no reason to get uptight. There are plenty of shagadelic costumes and accessories right there under the Things You'll Need list, so just relax, order early and have a good time.
