Amusing anecdotes & random ramblings
I have nothing to wear!
It’s Halloween again, which means another invitation to a fancy-dress party. While I love parties (dude!), I really do hate dressing up. Primarily because it never works.
A couple of years ago, I attended a veritable series of stag nights which involved fancy dress. Invariably, I’d hire a costume (Austin Powers, Al Capone) for the evening only to feel incredibly uncomfortable for the entire night and no-one’d recognise me anyway. Indeed, when I wore an Al Capone-esque 1930s outfit, people assumed I was dressed up as Odd Job instead.
I’ve been cordially invited to a neighbour’s Halloween party this weekend, but the dress code is fancy dress. And I have absolutely no idea what to wear, or indeed how to wear it. The last time I went to a works Halloween party, I stupidly dressed up as Doctor Who (ie a leather jacket with a scarf – an amalgamation of the fourth and ninth regeneration). A month later, I was made redundant. Coincidence?
So … got any ideas?

Just remember, Andrew, the costume doesn't work unless you are MENTALLY into it as well. In this photo, you don't seem to be emulating Al Capone's "persona". You're just dressed like him. Get into the spirit full force! BE your costume. I'm going to try to go as a website this year. I'll be sure to send pics.
