A fancy dress reveller in New Zealand got more than he bargained for at a fancy dress party last week. His fancy dress idea was certainly a little risque – but who can blame him for wanting an alternative fancy dress costume? Dressed as a terrorist the party goer caused all sorts of havock in Havelock North.

After a game of fancy dress football in a park the fancy dress terrorist left his fancy dress bomb behind – the obvious choice of fancy dress accessory no doubt?! The fake explosives resulted in police evacuating local areas and calling in the bomb squad. When the police has got to the bottom of this fancy dress dilema a couple of the revellers had to return to the park to identify the fake bomb – what a palaver, but better to be safe than sorry I guess.

The police did not press charges on the fancy dress terrorist, but I’m sure he won’t be donning that fancy dress outfit again!

Following her recent dramatic relationship saga ITV2 has seen her latest TV show hit the screens. Regardless of my support for Team Andre, last nights episode caught my eye as it involved an array of rather fabulous fancy dress costumes. The episode saw Katie Price hosting her New Years Eve fancy dress party. Loving being in the spotlight as always, Katie went for three fancy dress outfits throughout the course of the evening. Credit must be given for Katie’s pretty impressive fancy dress ideas.

Starting off with a comical pumpkin fancy dress outfit and later changing into a Cruella De Ville fancy dress outfit – which I must say was rather fitting. Katie went for the Cruella look with all the fancy dress accessories. She had a black and white fancy dress wig and a fancy dress cigarette holder to complete the look. Her third and final fancy dress costume was a rather sexy Minnie Mouse fancy dress outfit. Complete with fancy dress ears and red and white polka dot dress it looked great. What was Alex Reid wearing I hear you cry…not much!

Katie even got her kids into the fancy dress spirit dressing them up in a Disney fancy dress theme involving a very cute Buzz Lightyear fancy dress outfit and a Princess fancy dress costume for Princess – obviously. The guests went all out with their fancy dress outfits, fitting in well with the fairytale fancy dress theme. There were plenty of fancy dress fairies and witch fancy dress costumes to be found.

Well it certainly looked like a great night was had by all and the fancy dress love was certainly in the room. I wonder what other fancy dress delights 2010 will hold for Katie and Alex as we all know they both can’t resist a bit of dressing up!

The Winter Olympics figure skating competition looked like an impressive take on a fancy dress party. All competitors looked great in their fancy dress style costumes.

The British team went for a country and western fancy dress theme. The French wouldn’t have looked out of place at a fancy dress bask in their can-can costumes. Bollywood fancy dress is still proving popular with the US team choosing a very spangley costume set. The Japanese costumes would have fitted into our fancy dress wardrobe a treat, with an impressive Geisha style costume and matching fan.

Despite looking like a Dancing on Ice show the figure skating competition was a hit with Canada coming up trumps and taking first place.

The annual sledging race in the Czech Republic was a spectacle of fancy dress delights. All competitors made great efforts with their fancy dress costumes. Around seventy-one teams of three took it in turns to pull an 8kg sled around the course.

Among the fancy dress ideas was an impressive pirate fancy dress crew. In pirate fancy dress costumes with pirate fancy dress hats and even a huge pirate flag attached to their sled they really looked the part. Teams in nurse fancy dress outfits, clown fancy dress costumes and leprechaun fancy dress all braved the cold and testing course. Another highly impressive fancy dress team were the astronauts. In white astronaut fancy dress outfits complete with helmets, back packs and even a rocket on their sled they looked great!

Fancy dress at New York Fashion week….a rarity I’d say! Kelly Osbourne stunned the photographers in her interesting choice of dress. Her outfit was so close to a Wilma Flintsone fancy dress costume the resemblance was uncanny. Kelly’s outfit was a one shoulder, orange and black number with jagged edges….in true cavewoman fancy dress style. To finish off her prehistoric look Kelly went for a pair of black peep toe shoes…but where is the cavewoman in that you’re asking? The shoes were decorated with animal bones going through the front – interesting choice but it worked!

Fancy dress or no fancy dress Kelly looked great, especially sporting her new slim line figure after her participation in the US hit show Dancing With The Stars.

I’ve been scratching my fancy dress heady, thinking of suitable fancy dress ideas for such an event….Now you would want a fancy dress costume that is lightweight and not too bulky so you are free to run like the wind. A couple of fancy dress ideas could be the lightweight Banana fancy dress outfits or a Decades fancy dress costume to add some colour to the affair.

Over 5000 people gathered in Perton, Staffordshire for an immense Tough Guy Contest. The competitors braved mud, the bitter weather and fire on an assault course that would put the likes of Rocky and Rambo through their paces.

As if the gruelling assault course wasn’t enough, some competitors decided to wear fancy dress costumes. The fancy dress ideas were rather fitting with Superman fancy dress outfits, Robocop fancy dress and even a Spartan Warrior style fancy dress costume. The competitors (including those in fancy dress) had to run through a field of fire, crawl through ice underneath barbed wire and even combat and electric fence – ouch!

The event was so popular that over 1000 people were turned away. There were plenty of policeman and military personnel taking part, commenting that the Tough Guy Contest is one of the hardest tests of physical and metal endurance. With plenty of broken bones, bruises and blood shed loads of fun was had – fancy dress or no fancy dress! Rather them than me…..
