My attempts at fancy dress have mostly ended in disaster. I'm usually the person who turns up dressed in some ludicrous outfit, when most people's fancy dress costume is nothing more than a hat / fake mustache. Last weeks party was no different. Once again (even after moaning on about fancy dress being 'shit' and 'too much effort' and saying to my boyfriend 'oh I might just go in jeans'...) I decided at about 4pm to dash out of the house and run frantically around charity shops looking for bedsheets and white boots. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon sewing and sticking until I finally made my bargain bin £2.50 Leia costume.
However, as is usually the case I turn up dressed like a right plonka having gone way over the top, when most people at the '80's film character' party have either chosen a fairly respectable / subtle character or not dressed up at all.
I felt a little awkward for the first 20 minutes, especially after a few Star Wars enthusiasts pointed out that Leia actually wore that costume in 1977, and therefore doesn't count, but after a few little wines I was running around going "szzzzaaawww, szzzaaaawww" or however you spell the noise a light saber makes.
So after all my sewing efforts I thought a little photoshop (bad photoshop) wouldn't go amiss, so here we have my lightsaber action.
yay!
