I hadn't thought of any of those. Can't think why i didn't think of the bikini probably just the nippy weather

'puttin' on the ritz' and then just cover yourself in crackers!

[jlo]

I am sure that there was a thread about this not so long ago??

 

At a similar do a lot of women went as "The lady in red." I varied it slightly by going as "Devil Woman".

 

The winner wore a T-shirt on which had been printed the previous day's date - you guessed it, "Yesterday!"

Wear a grey suit - look grumpy and say you are Gordon Brown

I once went to a fancy dress party as Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary (How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row). My costume was entirely made of crepe paper (I was aged 5), and I carried a trowel and small fork.

My fave one of these ever- wear a shirt cravat waistcoat and trousers, tuck your trousers into long socks and mess up your hair. Tie a bread rool to your head and go as......

Roll Over Beethoven

Easy one- put on a raincoat over something that cant be seen underneath and go as 'Flash' by Queen.

[BERTIE MCSQUIRTY]

go in "gold"

 

"tiger feet" slippers

 

"horny" - speaks for itself

[Egluntyne]

 

A few feathers here and there, pink washing up glove on your head.......go as a 'Funky Chicken'

[..lay a little egg for me]

or diamonds for "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" (Paul Simon)

we had a great time and guests included Devil Woman, Rock the Kasbah, Sheriff fatman, I shot the sheriff, Killer queen, Come as you are, I'm for ever blowing bubbles, Rockstar, shiny happy people. In the end I decided that since I was walking I needed to have a costume that included a leather jacket since it was freezing and rainy. I ended up going for "Stand & Deliver" and doing the whole highway woman look with the adam Ant white stripe and ruffled shirt and neckerchief. The ritz idea was inspired but i would have arrived like a quiche with the rain as it was. Plenty of ideas for next time too I'm awaiting the photos from a friend.

Glad it was a success! It has made me wonder whether my next birthday party (40th...ssh!), could follow this theme. Its really fun!

[Valkyrie]

Sounds great fun. What good ideas you all came up with. Well done.
