Jareth From The Labyrinth

I can't be the only one who ever fantasized about David Bowie's sexy Goblin King in the labyrinth. I'd really like my husband to dress as him for me... the question is where to find an appropriate outfit. Hair and makeup are fairly easy (I'm a makeup artist, so I can deal with that) but the outfit proves a problem.

My husband is 5'9, 25 inch waist, size women's 14 shoe.

WOW, your husband makes a very cute female. Not too many men can pull that off!

I would try to piece the costume together by using a 'Beethoven" type costume - you know, the fluffy tie, the long jacket - then fill in the rest with odds and ends.

Thanks, and yeah we both wore dresses to the wedding... getting our marriage license was fun, the clerk nearly fell off his chair when Lillie (my husband) opened his mouth.

I already have a few pieces (Pouffy white shirt) but finding a leather vest type thing, and high heeled boots is going to be a pain.

Ah yes, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars...I remember 'glam'...any body else remember glam? He's pretty.

I wasn't around for it, but I remember, mmm pretty men.

I LOVED David Bowie in his role as Jareth!! He was damn sexy!! And your hubby looks very cute! Sad that he can probably walk better in heels than I ever could!! :rolleyes::P And, it wasn't lost on me that David Bowie plays bass, and so looks like your hubby does too. Wonderful that you're so accepting to allow your hubby to do this comfortably!! Awesome!!!

*Ducks her ancient head.....* I remember Glam Rock!!

try looking at a Renaissance Faire if there is one near you...you will have absolutely no problem finding a similar shirt. It may not be exact, but you'll be able to find something like it.

OMG that's so funny that you've got it bad for Bowie/Jarreth too! My 17 year old is obsessed. Wonder what she'd think about your cute hubby?

Well he is in a rock band... so he does get his share of screaming fangirls (it's fun being the wifey...)

Bowie is king of sexy though (well in my book next to my hubby)

He is very accepting of my desires (although he'd wear that outfit anyway, he likes to preform dressed as a girl, he goes by the stage name Lillie

With you on that one, my first crush ever was on Jareth. I remember watching the VHS and bouncing on the couch at the end in horror. "No? What, are you NUTS? Jareth is awesome, you're just stooopid!" That and I asked my parents if they were going to have another baby (what I didn't tell them was I just wanted bait for Jareth :P )

If you have a sewing machine, you can find patterns for similar stuff real easy. That and like Natalie said, Ren Faires. You also might try thrift stores on the off-chance they have old clothes you can add on to or something...

Good luck, and please post pics when it's done! We would love to see them :)
