Fancy DressTwo words that fill me with dread. Fancy Dress. Some people really get off on this - last party I went to that involved dressing up, one bloke came in a sort of fetish-nazi outfit, all tight black pvc, whips and jackboots.* Which would have been OK but it was a Eurovision party, and he'd come as Austria.
What's the worst costume you've encountered? Or worn? Or been made to wear...
*and no, it wasn't one of them royals

Moved onHaving been at a Film Character party with my lady friend, we were walking back home as the sun was coming up, sobriety nothing but a distant memory.
For some reason, we sat down on some grass for a rest (the ten minute walk clearly too much for us at this stage) and both promptly fell asleep. I’ve no idea how much time passed, but we were woken up by someone saying ‘hello…? Are you ok….?’ Open my eyes to see two uniformed coppers looking down at us. They promptly ‘move us on’ asking for ID, where we live etc.
As they head off, one of them says over his shoulder ‘Nice costumes, by the way’. Being drunk and disoriented meant I had forgotten that lady and I were dressed as Supergirl and Luke Skywalker, respectively.
Can just imagine them first noticing us lying there. The best thing is when they first woke us, they asked if we had somewhere to go, or if we were homeless. As if people sleeping rough, dressed as a Jedi was an everyday occurrence?!
Walked home the rest of the way attracting curious glances from the workers of Edinburgh as they commuted into work. Like to think we gave them something to talk about when they get to the office.
