Help! 70's Drinks Party Ideas!

[Jonnyjoseph]

We're having a friends reunited reunion afterparty and we want to have a real cheese and cornfest theme regarding snacks, drinks and fancy dress.

So far for drinks we have cinzano, martini, hoffmeister and the lager of lamot

For nibbles we have cocktail sausages, cocktail cheeses and olives on cocktail sticks.

For fancy dress theme we're going for pornstar/pimp and soap opera starlets so affros, big glasses, mustaches, hairy chests, gold medallions and bright suits with big hats for the men and large shoulder pads outrageous makeup, fake bosums and big hair for the ladies

Any help would be great, the cheesier and cornier the better really.

Can't remember many fake boobs in the 70's -the fashion was very slim twiggy boyish women -and no big hair until Olivia newton-john started the craze in 'Grease'

[tonyav]

Hair style of fashion for the girls in the mid 70's was the Flick ( think Charlies Angels ).
Another drink that was quite popular with the gals was Snowballs.

[tonyav]

And don't forget platform soles excel.

Cheese footballs were still going very strongly in the 70s; for you young people, these were small , round cases, resembling miniature footballs, completely sealed, and made of what tasted like cooked cardboard, all filled with 'cheese', which was some synthetic-tasting gunge containing traces of caseine.

[Valmave]

I still like vodka and lime - sign of the times that we always drove out to a pub for a few of them. Music wise there has to be The Sweet, Elton, Rod Stewart, T-Rex, in fact I could bring around my CDs !
