Bad Guys in Comfortable Clothes

This is a self serving thread, I freely admit.  I am looking for a theme for this year's Halloween Party and I have to give the guests ample time to put something together.

I having been thinking 'James Bond'...

I was picturing myself as Francisco Scaramanga-----and I noted that he had the most comfortable looking outfits for a 'villain'.

Can anyone find or name villains who wore REALLY comfortable clothes?  Maybe I can parlay THAT into a theme.

Brando's version of Dr. Moreau appeared to be comfortable in his choice of togs!
Robert in Ohio

If you go as Scaramanga, don't forget to sport a third nipple!

Has Christopher Lee always worn that severe Dracula-style toupee?

I've got a very old (signed) studio still of him (late 1940's-early 1950's) where he's not in character makeup and it shows his hairline very receded and without a pronounced widow's peak.

Oooooooooh.......  YES, indeed.  NICE call.  That has possibilities.

Geez, Lee was skinny.

   AND........... that could possibly pose a dilemma. ;D

Yeah, see, this is the draw for me:  As Scaramanga, I get to essentially look like Dracula in pajamas... really, what else could you want?

Sean...what about Hjalmar Poelzig?  No body looked more relaxed  than Karloff, in those satanic silk pyjamas and robe...
ELEGANT!

No no my friend..........fashioning a nipple from a malodorous cured pork product?? The neighborhood cats will attack your cleavage every time you open the door for a guest.   Tres gauche.

As the host of the gala, who must blaze a path for the invitees to follow, it would behoove you to make every effort to set a standard which your friends can only yearn achingly to achieve. An italian variety of dried salami glued haphazardly to your pectoral in an attempt to imitate Scaramanga  is akin to shoving the entire sausage down the pants of a leisure suit and calling yourself Ron Jeremy.

Perish the thought.

In the interests of our friendship, I've scoured the sordid underbelly of the internet with an eye toward sparing you the inevitable ignominy you would achieve with a Sicilian sausage nipple. Sir I present, for your edification, the last word in temporary teats.



Yes, for the paltry sum of $16.95, you can be the envy of every party-goer and the desire of unweaned tots everywhere. You are but a click away from becoming a party legend.

I have a very similar robe. Whenever someone is doing  photoshoot with me at home I always try to convince them to do a few pix of me in it but everybody thinks it is too "costumey".
*Sigh*.
If only they realized I lounge about the house like that at night, wearing my fez and drinking pomegranate juice from a brandy snifter...
