fancy dress party - advice needed

[Aperitif]

Change your name to Derrick and behave in a crude fashion all night long. (You have to be Rich to do that apparently...)

hmmmmm

I thought you said you needed to dress up - anyone can go as a no-hoper.

And steer clear of the cheerleader tendency - it can cause long-lasting strange behaviour viz.

Right - we are talking extravaganza darlings! The theme is Dynasty v. Dallas. No use suggesting Joan Collins, because the host gets first pick.

Now, those of you who know me will be rushing to suggest Clayton Farlow or Blake Carrington, and I thank you in advance...........but, it seems to me that the problem is that the men (I was joking about the Joan Collins thing, ha-ha-ha) didn't really wear distinctive clobber. The Dynasty lot wore suits, and all that lingers in the memory of Dallas' manhood is ten gallon hats, check shirts and cowboy boots.

Any ideas?

Go as a Moldovan terrorist.

OT I know, but I knew someone (ahem, art student) once who went to a fancy-dress party as a crowd - he made a huge collage of faces with a hole for his own face to peer through, and a complicated arrangement of fixings that allowed him to wear it. It was a sad failure though, as he had to stand against the wall all night for fear of knocking people over.

I went to one as a Clanger. I found a pink fleece dressing gown to wear and made a big pink pointy nose/face mask. I won the prize for including in the nose: one) a straw to ensure I could still drink and two) a swannee whistle.

Although, most people remember the time I went to a pirate themed party as a treasure map. Big blue sheet worn like a full length poncho with my arms outstretched, island shape cut out and stuck on the front, with various palm trees etc drawn on it. I drew a treasure chest on paper with gold sequins for coins, and stuck it on, with a flap over the top with a big red cross drawn on it.

Two things I should have considered. One, the final position of the large red cross when I put the whole thing on. Two, the strength of the punch. Parts of the evening are missing, but asking a junior lecturer if he'd like to lift my flap and look at my treasure is one memory I can't lose.
