Fancy Dress Failures Pt 2Janet Aylia asks, "Did you go all-out only to find you'd fallen for the age-old 'you're the only one who dressed up' gag? Did you wrap yourself in cotton wool and ketchup and offend the local vicar by dressing as a tampon?"

Fancy Dress success!Earlier this year I was part of a Stag party in Manchester which required us all to go in fancy dress. I was eager to avoid the stereotypical Elvis outfit etc but also didn't want to end up looking "a bit odd". Luckily my comrades wouldn't let me down on that front and we had a "mad hatter" Johnny Depp style, a Derek Zoolander, Mario, Elvis, Wheres wally etc.
I seem to have unearthed fancy dress gold when I went as "Woody" from Toy Story.
While my comrades spent the evening getting odd looks I had an endless parade of lovely ladies all screaming "Oh my god its woody!!!" before demanding a photo with them.
Turns out if you want to be the centre of fancy dress attention, forget clever quirky or even most authentic, simply appeal to the lowest common denominator - a disney cartoon character.
Plus the previous time I went out as Austin Powers - similar results except everyone else bottled out and I was the only one in costume...
