Bridezilla....
How nice is that this year Halloween falls on a Saturday, which only happens every seven years or something. There are lots of parties out there, and I have taken time to sift through a lot of them to showcase some of the funkiest parties around, dear reader.
Unlike our American cousins, here in weather-battered Blighty Halloween means dressing up as something scary, whereas in the US it seems like a good excuse to dress up like a sex worker and parade in suspenders. Nothing wrong with suspenders of course.
Inspirational Halloween Theme Dress codes for Blighty: Politicians waving expense claims (this can be done by stapling lots of receipts to a cheap suit), Carbs, Lewis Carol Characters, Silent Horror Film Characters, Victorian Asylum Lunatics, The Brother’s Grim (you will need two people for this), The Witches of Hackney, Peckham Warlocks, Burlesque Cyclops (just attach one nipple tassel to forehead), Venetian Masks, Cigarette Girls, Door Bitches with clipboards, Nurse with fake blood stains, dead movie stars, Bride of Frankenstein, Amy Winehouse on a bad day.....

I'd love to visit London again. I went as a little girl and I bought a game called "Haunted Mansion". Funny I should recall that now in light of your Halloween post.
ReplyDeleteTrue in the states sexy costumes seem to be the rage. Heh, heh I have some too as you can see, but really nothing quite gets the juices flowing like a good scare.
