I love a good dress up party. basically I am up for anything that means I get to put on a wig, lots of sparkly makeup, or crazy tights. Maybe its my inner child who still likes to play dress up. Maybe its my secret Liza Manelli coming out. Who knows?
This is why I convinced my hubby that we should throw a dress up vinyl party for his birthday. "It would be more fun", I suggested if people got involved and had to think up an outfit.
He was happy to agree. (hahahaha evil laugh) So we told our guests that they had to bring a record of some sort and dress up to imitate some part of it, whether they dressed for the era, or for the color scheme or whatever tickled their fancy.
I had a lot of trouble deciding on my outfit, my final 5 options were: David Bowie, Blues Brothers, Janis Joplin, the B52's, and Olivia Newton-John. (Obviously all this was based on the records I had available to me. If I could have found an early Madonna record the decision would have been made!)
I finally decided the day of the party to be Olivia Newton_John from Xanadu. This was based purely on the fact that I found a white flowy skirt at the secondhand clothing store. But I think it turned out pretty all right, what do you think?
Other highlights from the party were: My crazy hubby dressed up as the girl with the silver pants
Rainbow girl with Radiohead in rainbows
Roxette and John Denver
and some crazy Mexican amigos!
What are some of your favorite costumes and dress up parties?
