Last halloween I went to an 80s halloween party… so I went as Zuul… I make the costume myself – bought the materials, borrowed a sewing machine, pinned it all out etc… only thing is my hair is straight, so I spent all day with it in lots of little daft plaits in an attempt to make it curly… which was quite funny as the party was a three hour drive away – I got some looks when I stopped for coffee (no, not in costume, just with the hair!)...
A few years back I went to a James Bond party as the “woman the morning after”... I wore a man’s white shirt, and erm, some stilletoes… (and underwear of course, who do you think I am?!?!!!) Sure beat all the other ladies wearing posh black frocks!
