I was invited to a house warming party last weekend and only realised it was dress-up the day of, when I double checked the address on facebook :/
Don't you just hate that? (the last minute part, not the facebook part ;)The theme was "disappoint the parents", which leaves alot to interpretation.
So Stuart went as a rockstar and I as a Russian mail-order bride.
Something you didn't know about me (but might have suspected anyway ;)?
I ADORE dress-up.
I will do it given half the chance.
I will do it given half the chance.
And not go the skanky/sexy or easy option either.
So this time around I was hesitant about the Russian mail-order bride option (moderate skank factor) but didn't want to go the easy rockstar/punk/pregnant bride option either (no offense, Stu ;)
Given the timeframe of awareness and limited oddball paraphernalia at home, this was the best I could come up with. Tsk Tsk.
(And yes, there were a few pregnant bride/schoolgirl types)
Stu, doing the 'gay punk' pose ;)
Some other outfits at the party:
Gotta snuggle up to Osama, right? Right.

i love you guys! this is so much fun! xx
I too, am a huge fan of theme/costume parties. I think the best one I ever went to was a Zoolander party where you had to dress up like a character from Zoolander. My BF and I went as Derelicte models, and my other friend went as (david duchovny's character) the hand model. Good times were had by all.
And a little skank factor never hurt anyone, as long as it's still creative. I think Mail Order Bride falls under the creative, but just-skanky-enough category!
I want your fur cap!
Hi there-fabulous outfits, looks like you had a great time!!
ahaha the party looks fun! i love theme parties!
Oooooh AND I am frankly sure that your mail box is going to be saturated with such a charming "cyber Russian Bride" like You !!!!!

This is so hysterical. I love your outfit. What a great idea for a party.
I Like Stuff, what a great theme....for my birthday a few years ago I had an A/C themed party (my initials) and was an Androgynous Crooner (aka Marilyn Manson).
I should find the photos and post one or two :)
