I was thinking more recent adult costumes. A few years ago a group of friends and co-friends (friends of friends and even a dad or two) converged in San Francisco. We agreed to meet in one of the gay sections of the city, don't ask me why. Plenty of fun night. Commander0077 was, yes, wearing a dinner suit, with real bow tie! I didn't bring a replica PPK, since that would be scary. Funny bits is I was on the bus, and other people were wearing usual costumes, but some wondered what was Bond doing there? (I had '0077' badge on lapel); a (female) friend who was a petite Chinese American with friend (female) who was a tall German... we were all staying in basically the same neighborhood. One fellow brought his dad; his dad was telling about some good bars he knew in the gay district, and we chided him, of course. The streets were smoky with firecrackers, just like walking along a Ken Adam set in tux! Another Halloween I was a Vulcan, another I was a green vampire with a white dinner jacket (sort of Bond on the darkseid); my favorite was as Rasuli, Connery's character in Wind and the Lion, with the white headscarf, full grey beard, black tunic, green sash and plastic scimitar. A Bond girl who I knew for a year didn't even recognize 0077. We had a mutual crush, so that was interesting.
