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

Ok, on second thought - Duct tapeI went to the Ren Faire in Texas. I wore a dress I'd made myself, with a wondrously tight bodice/boustier thing. Yeah. I had to duct tape myself, as I didn't own a corset. Lots and lots of duct tape. We'd started drinking early.
Ren Faire, as far as I know, is all about how many bottles of $3 red wine you can chug in a 24 hour period while singing the bawdiest songs you can think of at the top of your lungs and eating questionable meat served on a skewer (or conversely giant turkey legs).*
It doesn't help when your husband gets frisky round 3am and literally TEARS into your costume to get at you - complete with ripping duct tape noises and screams of pain/ecstacy - in the middle of a campsite shared by several hundred people... and you pass out drunk, with one breast hanging free of it's tapey prison, laying halfway out of the entrance to a collapsed tent (all that strain with the dress removal, I imagine).
Ugh.
*That's what they told me, at least.
Yeah, so noone's ever invited me to a fancy dress party, sorry.
