1978 Fancy Dress Party

[enfable]

I've been invited to a fancy dress party where the theme is 1978.

Anyone got any good ideas on what to go as?

Thanks in advance

Punk rocker?

[DanFlo]

Gary Glitter??

[enfable]

Thought of a Punk Rocker but think that most people will go as one and I would like to be a bit different.

Gary Glitter, I agree is different but don't think it to PC and don't want to be called a kiddie fiddler all night!

Why not go as Pedro Joaquin Chamorro Cardenal, the critic of the Nicaraguan government, who was assassinated in January 1978?? Eh?

Oh.

Maggie Thatcher, Dennis Healy, Leonid Breznhev, Jummy Carter or Ronald Reagan.

Dr Who (Tom Baker) with ultra-long scarf, wide brimmed hat and curly wig.

fender - I think you're thinking of 1973/74 or the late 60's, not 1978!

I went as a punk to a party a couple of years ago, and I was the only one wearing a tartan mini skirt (it was a punk party), no-one else had thought of that! If you're a bloke wear it over a pair of jeans.

Or go in jogging gear
