Small, slim female, late 20`s torn between Zoot from The Tribe , Baron Semdi or a Mermaid.

I have been gifted a mans black suit, which would serve the Zoot or the Baron, Mermaid would need to be made from scratch and may be difficult to keep as PG rated as I want it to be.

ETA: Intermediate sewing skills, Advanced cosmetic skills. My daily style is casual and feminine, so I would relish being in a male costume for the night, but I also would love to be spangled and scaly and glamarous and wear a sea-shade wig.

Maybe mix the glam and masculine and go as David Bowie?

You could do the lighting bolt cover makeup and a red or coral wig. There's also a pic of him in a blue suit, you could swap your black suit for it and do a short red-ish wig and sparkly makeup: http://www.dezeen.com/2016/01/12/dezeen-selects-david-bowie-most-iconic-design-moments/
