(to be) tarted up
From the scraps of dialogue provided, it seems that there is a bit of ribaldry/banter going on between the interlocutors.
Definition of tart up
transitive verb. : dress up, fancy up tarted up the restaurant.
So, the intended meaning might be something along the lines of "I'm not going out until I'm all tarted up"... (Although it could also be taken to mean "until I look like an arse", which wouldn't be unheard of when I come from)...

As I understand it, one person is asking the other to lend them some clothes or maybe make-up, because they want to look a certain way before going out...

until I'm stuffed / have a fat ass
No estoy seguro si se refiere a comer (lo que sugiero), o a encerrarse hasta que ya no aguante mentalmente (como burn out).
Pero creo que por Olympus se refiere a un lugar de dioses, como un palacio lleno de manjares y camas para apalancarse y engordar como ricos.

See Manuel Aburto's reference, he has the right answer.
My suggestion is not correct.
