You've heard me go on about how much I love Robert Palmer girls [1] before. Not to sound like a broken record but they are too cool for school. They first appeared in his "Addicted to Love" video and were so popular he decided to include them in his similar, but better, video for the Fab song "Simply Irresistible." The song rocks, he rocks, the girls rock. And as a costume, this look is easy, cheeky and sexy. I would announce yourself as being ""Simply Irresistible," not just a Robert Palmer girl — it's more alluring.
For props, an electric guitar is ideal, but I threw in a little electric guitar necklace if you don't want to be too literal. These girls were all eye candy and didn't speak a word, but their dance moves were spicy. I'd learn some and you'll be the life of the party.
Also, a key accessory is the heavy makeup and slicked back hair so learn how to deliver it with precision [2] and then knock 'em dead!
