Christmas Party 28th Dec

[Scot]

In past years we have had a theme for this.

I have till the Party this Saturday to come up with a Theme for the 28th Dec.

I am open to ideas "Clean or otherwise?"

Seriously though any suggestions would be appreciated if you have the time

Cheers

Scot

The ones that worked the best for us at Nantwich seemed to involve dressing up as your idols, e.g.;

Stars of Stage, Film and Music

Heroes and Villans

and the all catching

Anyone you like as long as they are/were famous

[CJ]

As it's so close to Christmas, Nativity?

Seriously, something to do with peace and goodwill?

Auld lang syne?

Well actually............ don't know if I still have the suspenders and the basque :sorry Mind you the shoes are red so..... and I know a lot of girls who love dressing up in stockings and suspenders ( almost as much as the men enjoy watching ).

Perhaps somehting more Christmasy ???

But on that theme Scot.... what about 'stars from the musicals' could be anyone /anything from Liza Minelli in Cabaret, to Cats, gangster from Chicago, Fred & Ginger, Rocky Horror etc. etc....

Come off it, Bill - Fran's told us all about it, so there's no need to pretend amongst friends!(?) And lurking behind Fran's new avatar there's obviously a few more secrets to tell!

[Basil Brush]

Fran's avatar is so cool... made me think about an S & M theme. That would be outrageous.

Like the Rocky Horror idea. Or just 'rubber'?

[John S]

Whatever theme is chosen, there will be those who don't fancy it. For example, was it last year or the year before, when the "School Uniform" theme was chosen, some really loved the idea and others hated it.

There are usually quite a few events throughout the year with a fancy dress theme, and for a major event such as a Christmas party a lot of ladies (and quite a few men) would perhaps prefer to dress up in their finery and strut their stuff.

So ideally, if there is a fancy dress type theme at least make it clear in the publicity that it's not compulsory and that dressing with a touch of class is also a viable option!

Whatever, Scot, you can't win!!

[Lou]

What about a James Bond theme? It's seasonal (after all, there's always a Bond movie on during the holidays), and you can dress up as much or as little as you like (e.g. if you didn't want to do much, you could just paint one finger gold.... )

Can I cover myself in cat and kitten soft toys and come as 'Pussy Galore' ?

True............ but a 'Musicals ' Theme would allow women to get on their long frocks and come as Ginger or some Hollywood dance queen ( oops.....that's me in my outfit isn't it )

I do have my tails so I could come as Fred. We did do something similar in Abereen last year and it was fun.

[TheTramp]

Bill,

I'm starting to get a little worried about all these posts referring to you getting dressed up as a woman.....

Although, given Frans new avatar....!!!!

Steve

Although, as a Scotsman, I guess you'd be used to wearing a skirt!!!
(I'll start running for the hills now!! )

[Tweetie]

How about a historical theme where people could choose any date they want and come dressed in period costume.... from dinosaurs to DuranDuran kind of thing.

[Scot]

Hmm I am trying to determine a consensus here.

Not sure if there is one oh well I am doing the leaflets tomorrow. So I will just pick one and go for it.

As an added incentive before Tomorrow, the person whose idea we take will get in for free along with a bottle of fizzy.

[Cerocfan]

Theme for party night, how about 'Grease', 'Moulin Rouge', 'Feathers & Tassels', 'Starstruck', the last could be interpreted many ways, 'Red & Gold', 'Something on a Christmas Tree', I'm sure Bill would make a wonderful fairy. 'A Masked Ball' - gives even those guys who hate dressing up the option of joining in with a rubber horror mask; allows us girls to wear our glitzy finery AND take part at the same time.Wearing a mask is peculiarly freeing. A prize could be given for the best home-made version.

[Steven]

The masked ball sounds like a good lidea!

[Scot]

Any further bids on a Masked Ball

Good one, and very easy to keep simple for those that don't want to dress up!
Last time we did one, Jean had a fabulous feather mask, impossible to dance with (as it was so high), but it looked good...
They also tend to be too hot keep on when dancing, which is a shame as the mystery element would be nice otherwise!

One last suggestion, is to have a batch of simple (cheap) masks at the front desk and sell them to anyone without a mask (proceeds going to either a charity, or as a prize for the best mask on the night!).

I would have to disagree with you on that .:reallymad :reallymad
Hmmm - how dare who ever you are!!!!!:reallymad !!!!!!!what a whimp - insulting people and hiding behind a fake name.


although I do like the idea of feathers & tassles, and Moulin Rouge. hint hint Scott.

The only problem with the masked ball is that it can be very difficult dancing with a mask on - sometimes it is actully difficult to see what yo are doing - last time I wore a mask I kept missing the mans hand because the line of vison was blocked due to the eye holes in the mask.
