Today’s fancy dress theme is ‘Wonders Of The World’. There are many different lists that make up ‘official’ wonders of the world but even we think it will probably be quite difficult going to a fancy dress party dressed as The Great Wall of China, or the Taj Mahal. So what about dressing up as people from those areas? Some ideas are below, but look at some of ’7 Wonders Of The World’ lists as this will give you even
Roman Centurian Costume
more ideas…
- Taj Mahal – Indian costumes – we also stock turbans
- The Great Wall of China – Chinese costumes – we also stock coolie hats, Chinese hats, Chinaman moustaches
- The Great Pyramid at Giza – Egyptian Costumes
- Leaning Tower of Pisa – Italian Costumes
- Colesseum – Roman Costumes
- Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa – wear Egyptian, Roman or Greek Costumes
- Hagia Sophia – Turkish Costumes including Arabian & Belly dancer costumes
- Porcelain Tower of Nanjing – Chinese costumes
You could also argue the fact that everything is a ‘wonder of the world’, so this leaves this fancy dress theme wide open with potential costumes coming from any country, and about anything. You can’t get anything more wonderous than a new baby being born – so why not dress up in a baby costume?
So why did we choose this costume theme today? Read on and all will be revealed…
As some of us start planning journeys to be with our relatives and friends over the Festive Season, today we celebrate the achievement of Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager who on this day in 1986 completed the world’s first circumnavigation of the world in an aircraft – the Voyager – without landing or refuelling in any way. A substantial achievement and home just in time for Christmas. On a different note, whilst you would think people would be busy with their festive preparations, in Oaxaca City, Mexico, the 23rd December sees an acclaimed festival ‘Night of the Radishes’ in which sculptures featuring a locally grown large radish are displayed and prizes are won. Just goes to show that entertainment takes many forms, and our suggested theme for today is Wonders of the World.
