Queen of hearts


Most of us never really lose our love of dressing up, do we? I love it, especially random, fun, fancy dress theme parties. A friend Andrew had his birthday party on Saturday night and themed it Las Vegas style, which was such a hilarious idea. My friend Claire (in pic above) and I went as Cigarette Girls (with trays full of candy), my hubby went as Evil Knievel (costume from here), there were showgirls, play bunnies, homies, card sharks, brides, grooms, an Elvis, Siegfried and Roy... and a burlesque show.

With plenty of outlandish threads, surreal make up and props, I realised this was such an excellent way to set up single friends or introduce new friends to older ones. So if you haven't anything planned for Halloween, or just feel like throwing a cracking party, team with a theme and you'll have an amazing night. From stuffed animals to superheroes, nursery rhymes, disco, swing or circus, you can have it as tame or eccentric as you like.
