Fancy DressTwo words that fill me with dread. Fancy Dress. Some people really get off on this - last party I went to that involved dressing up, one bloke came in a sort of fetish-nazi outfit, all tight black pvc, whips and jackboots.* Which would have been OK but it was a Eurovision party, and he'd come as Austria.
What's the worst costume you've encountered? Or worn? Or been made to wear...
*and no, it wasn't one of them royals

I once went to a Hallowe'en party as Easter Island.I got a grey swimming cap to cover my head and used grey face paint to make everything above the neck match. That was the big stone head. Dark shadows in the eyes and everything.
I wore a swatch of green carpet that I got from a charitable carpet dealer around my shoulders to be the island part. Underneath that was a pale blue sheet, which I wore like a cape, to represent the Pacific Ocean.
Finally, I raided my old Lego collection and found a palm tree, a rowboat, and some sailors in full period garb. They had rifles, hats, a map and everything. I used tiny bits of steel wire threaded through the carpet to hold all of them in position as though they'd just landed and were exploring. Looking up at my face, which was a giant stone idol.
