Confessions of a Shopaholic. And Bruno.

23 Nov

Well, as I mentioned last week, Terry and I had another fancy dress party to attend this weekend.

And, as I also mentioned, my planned costume was pretty half-assed. In fact, with the whole Christmas/holiday/Terry’s-car-breaking-down-on-the-motorway-and-having-to-be-replaced thing, I decided that a budget costume was in order, and that, on this occasion, I would basically try and take a “work with what you’ve got” approach.

Which was actually pretty ironic, considering that I decided to go as a personal heroine of mine….

[Note: image under the jump as Terry's outfit is a bit... well... a bit... risqué, let's say]

Becky Bloomwood (from Confessions of a Shopaholic) and Bruno!

So at least we were a couple. Sort of. And while I went with a “work with what you’ve got” approach, Terry went with more of “ work with a yellow rubber suit you bought for £5 from Screwfix on Friday afternoon, and which smelled oddly of creosote all night” approach.

Anyway, we had a great time, and are already planning our next “costumes”. Hey, anyone want to invite us to a fancy dress party? Anyone? Anyone?

(And yeah, this Shopaholic shops at Primark. Terry wouldn’t let me go on a shopping spree at Harvey Nichols just to get the bags…)

Love it! Yours that is Amber. Terry … well … I feel like I know you so well now. Not sure I wanted to know you THAT well, but there you go!

Confessions of a Shopaholic is one of my faves – it got such terrible reviews but I loved it!

What a great idea! Perhaps you should have a costume party at your place while we’re over? It can be a four person party, right? *g*

Ooh, we could even karaoke! I am a Sing Star convert (the Disney version, natch).

Can’t wait until December!!!

Sorry, but just testing whether my Google profile pic will now appear. Was tempted to use some random Amber component but decided to stick with the hyrax.
