Austin Powers

Post Reply New Topic

I love the Austin Powers movies. I know that Austin isn't a real person, but I think he's adorable My favroite move of the trilogy is Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. The people on the streets talk to eachother about me being a Real-life Austin Powers and I love the attention. That's also my other Nic-Name. Austin and I are exactley alike, except I have nice teeth. I call him my Twin

Two questions:

Are there any other Austin Powers fans out there?

Is there a Celebrity or Character that you're a clone of or that you can realte to?

I also am a fan of Austin Powers, though I did not like the second one very much. It was funny, but did not parody the Bond movies nearly as much as the first one did. I thought that Austinpussy from Goldmember was really funny. I visited London with my parents last November because my dad had to be there on business, and I made sure that we visited Carnaby Street. I was hoping to find a suit like Austin wore, but didn't. I wanted to wear something like that to prom. Do you know where to find that kind of suit? I searched online and found pinstripe suits similar to the ones he wore, but I thought the single color ones looked much better.

The closest thing to what you're looking for can be found at http://www.newlineshop.com

It's not the real thing but it's the closest that I could find. it's a Halloween costume, but it has the look and feel of Velvet

I remembered reading an interview of Ewan McGregor and was able to find it online, in which he he says that he buys mod suits cheaply on Carnaby Street at a store called Merc and then has a tailor on Berwick's Street named Mr. Eddie remake them with fabric from the sixties. He has worn them to premieres and can be seen wearing one at http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1173/EwanMcGregor_Vespa_175335.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=McGregor,%20Ewan However, I still have not been able to find a similar cravat to what Austin wore or a shirt with lace on the sleeves. It is really not that important, but it would be nice to know where I can find those.

I'm thinking of getting one custom-made at my local taylor's.
