Rozcars!

Yesterday, I bombarded Twitter with questions on hair rollers, winged eyeliner, false eyelash application … and so on.  I’ve been Googling and YouTubing and blog-reading, not to mention shopping and practising and searching and planning.

Finally, I had all the pieces in one spot, after a heart stopping hour when I temporarily lost my sh*t the paper bag containing all the bits and pieces needed to transform me into Elizabeth Taylor.  These accessories were added to a truly gorgeous Leona Edmiston dress and party shoes, along with a tonne of makeup, false eyelashes and some winged eyeliner.  I wore Leona Edmiston for a week in my #LeonaWeek challenge, and this dress was the piece de resistance!

Elizabeth Taylor, I presume?

 

Burton, Richard Burton.

 

The Welshman tossed around a few costume ideas – under consideration was reusing his fabulous Bollywood costume as a Slumdog Millionaire outfit, wearing a toga to go as John Belushi from Animal House, going as John Belushi from Blues Brothers (I’m sensing a theme here), but finally he plumped for looking suave in a classic tux.

We added a touch of  comedy glamour (glamedy?) with a truly fabulous burgundy velvet bow tie, clip on no less, and decided he could be the Richard Burton to my Elizabeth Taylor.  Knew that Welshman angle would come in handy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We rocked up to the Rozcars, posed on the red carpet, schmoozed a little, met a few celebrities, had a few drinks and a general chit chat.  Lots of oohing and aahing, checking of false lashes and reapplying of fashion tape – you know the drill.

 

 

 

Jaws and Marilyn Monroe

Carmen Miranda

Bjork

 

Jaws and Marilyn Monroe just love a dress up.  They never met a costume party they didn’t like yet!

Carmen Miranda was bringing her A game, plus carrying a handy snack on her head for later.

 

 

 

Brangelina

Beetlejuice

 

Cleverest costume of the night was awarded by me to Brangelina. The real Angelina would love to have legs like that!

 

Bjork looked absolutely amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then it was time for the big event.  Yup, that’s right.  The moment you’ve all been waiting for!  Drum roll please …

The performance of a life time – the movie-themed Rozcars Flash Mob!  Click on the link to view the dance performance that will have Broadway shaking in its boots.

Beetlejuice made a guest star appearance in the middle of the performance!

 

 

 

 

 

Next up, the amazing parent band – Parental as Anything – performed.

Two members of the band also perform in Cloud 9 – the recent winners of the ABC 702 Exhumed competition.

Do not be fooled by the term “parent band” – these guys rock!  And roll!

 

 

The Dictator with Bjork

 

Ah, young love!  Bjork, ably squired  by the Dictator.

Bjork is the fabulous choreographer of our flash mob and whipped us all into shape.

She deserves many more accolades but I hope she enjoys her Lulu Lemon voucher!

We love your work!

    What an awesome night ! We love a fancy dress party. My husband’s amazing at making “props”. 
    Nice touch with the burgundy bow tie :)

      Ah, the people like you who love dress ups make it fun for the rest of us! Otherwise we’d make a half arsed effort. That tie was worth every penny of the fiver we paid for it, and I’m so nicking it as a hair bow!

        Props to your husband for making the props! Jaws made his own costume (as if you could hire that!) and stayed in character all night. A friend of theirs made a massive papier mâché elephant for her Bollywood 40th.

    I’m a big fan of dress-ups, when it’s someone else dressing up!  So many celebs in one place, paparazzi heaven!  :-)

    • http://kimbalikes.com Kim-Marie Williams

      Now that we’ve become friends with dedicated costume party dresser uppers, we’ve attended more costume parties in the last two years than in our entire lives put together! Entering the season of 40th parties (even the odd 50th) helps too. Are we all reverting to childhood?!

      The celebs were cool but you know, when you’re La Liz Taylor, dripping in jewels, you’re pretty cool yourself! ;)

    What amazing costumes! remands me  of dressing up as Audrey Hepburn for a friends 30th. I love dressing up! Today I played dress up with my toddlar, we were pirates.. not quite so glam eh?!

      I like to dress up way more than I like doing dress ups! Toddler dress ups are fun though. My 8 year old will still occasionally get out the dress up box but not very often nowadays. :(

      Oh, I do love to dance!  I only wish I hadn’t been so ill in the lead up and missed so many practice sessions.  I also wish I’d pulled the dress up a leeetle bit higher. ;)
