There are many different kinds of parties that are popular with people from around the world. Everyone loves a good party, with the opportunity to drink yourself silly among good company and possibly give friends something to gossip about being too good to pass up. One of the most popular themes for parties in the United Kingdom is fancy dress. Who doesn't love the opportunity to don an afro wig, Kappa tracksuit and bomber jacket for a cheeky Scouse-themed party, for example?
Of course, this is just one theme that is possible for a fancy dress party. It was a particularly popular theme after Liverpool FC's historic Champions League victory in 2005, which saw Liverpudlians spill onto the streets of cities all over the world in celebration. Other popular party wigs include the mullet (a term coined by the Beastie Boys in their sporadically-published Grand Royal magazine), the beehive, the Elvis/Morrissey quiff and the punk wig. Choosing an appropriate hairpiece is very important for the fancy dress aficionado - experts say you should dress from the head down for maximum effect. This rule applies equally for children's fancy dress and adult fancy dress, although it should be noted that many children will not keep a wig on for the course of an evening as all but the best wigs can be rather uncomfortable.
If you are organising a children's party, some party classics include face painting and balloons. If you are organising a party for teenage children, these will probably not be appreciated to the same extent as they would be at a party for the under 10s. Of course, if you are organising a party for teenagers there is a very high possibility that you are a teenager yourself and the last two things you would want at a party would be face painting and balloons. Unless, that is, you are a goth, in which case there will almost certainly be an amount of face painting going on. But not balloons. Unless they are filled with nitrous oxide, as is the trend with some young partygoers nowadays.
Nitrous oxide balloons may be considered essential party supplies by some young people, but should be considered nothing more than an internship in the hedonistic world of partying. There is no doubt that hardened partygoers lose any right to angel wings after a few too many late nights. All kinds of things can happen when hidden behind the anonymity of fancy dress masks. Just remember - the way most people are caught out after over-indulging in hedonistic pursuits in the twenty-first century is via mobile phones which record both messages and videos nowadays. This can mean double trouble for the unfaithful partygoer.
Parties are fun and should be treated as such. If you are going to a fancy dress party, dress the part and have a good time
