Yes, I did. They were popular in the 60s, as were Tramps & Vamps parties. cb (in hiding)

Did you hear the story about the dislexic bloke who went to a toga party dressed as a goat?

Yes, way back in the 80s! I remember one particular one when I was 8 months pregnant and went as a vicar. (Well I couldn't get into any of my tarty clothes! LOL) My husband was the tart - and lovely he looked too. Hobnail boots, fishnet stockings, long kaftan-type dress (complete with 2 strategically placed balloons), black curly wig, long dangly earings - and beard!!! He wasn't going to shave that off for anyone! I vividly remember dancing to Bad Manners (?) Can Can and a friend panicking because she thought I'd go into labour! LOL Little did she know that was the idea! Daughter was born 2 weeks later, despite all my efforts as a pregnant vicar! Happy memories :o) Sue xx

I think it was all the rage in the 80s do they still have them or is it something new now?
