  1. Born to Hand Jive

    While watching the Riverdance show would undoubtedly bore me to tears, I love rhythmic patterns. I also love dance music. I also love people being creative. And so today I bring you two of my favourite videos.

    The first (We No Speak Americano) is nothing short of addictive, with the second (Daft Hands ) being something I like to roll out every now and again. And with over 46 million views, other people seemingly do too.

  2. Costumes: Cocktails

    January 1, 2011 by Amy Hansford

    A theme I’d not given much thought to before was the subject of this year’s NYE Party. First question: do you go as an actual cocktail, or the literal translation of the name? For the pun costumes, you need to pick those which people might actually have heard of.? While there probably is a cocktail representative of a cheerleader, no-one will have heard of it so you’ll lose the punch (if you’ll pardon the pun). So, below is a list of those which we came up with.

    Barbarella – Barbarella
    Black Russian – Black Russian outfit
    Black Widow – Black spider costume
    Bloody Mary –Bloodied nativity costume with doll baby Jesus
    Blue Hawaiian – Hawaiian outfit in blue
    Bridesmaid Cooler – Bridesmaid wearing sunglasses
    Chocolate Sailor – Sailor outfit with lots of chocolates
    Cockney Champagne – Pearly King with a champagne badge
    Eggnog – Noggin the Nog (Viking) with lots of Kinder Eggs or similar
    Fallen Angel – Evil angel costume
    Mai Tai – Wear a tie with the label ‘this tie is the property of [your name]’
    Manhattan     – Man with a hat on
    Mexican Chocolate – Mexican with lots of chocolate
    Naked Twister – Wear a Twister mat and little else
    Pina Colada – wear a colander with attached penises
    Shandy – Sandy from Grease but pissed
    Shirley Temple – Shirley Temple
    Strawberry Bandit -Typical burglar costume but in red with a green mask/hat
    Strawberry Flapper – Flapper costume with attached strawberries
    White Russian – White Russian outfit
