Love Life, Love Fancy Dress.

I Love Fancy Dress, on the corner of Avenue Road and London Road, Westcliff, was partially destroyed in the blaze, which closed the A13 in Southend for hours.

Owners Donna and Sammy Nesnas have now begun the clear-up effort and are already looking for temporary premises while repairs are carried out at the shop.

Mrs Nesnas, 39, said: “We have been here a year and two months and built it up from nothing. When we first came here everyone said nothing had worked in this shop and that it could never work, but it has been brilliant.

“Even in a recession we have tripled our business.

Came across a great site this week called Army Fancy Dress specializing in military fancy dress. With the Goodwood Revival coming up this might furnish an alternative to the tweeds and knitted cardigan look for the 1940’s theme.

Bestival 2009 is doing an Outer Space theme this year - a great opportunity for Fancy Dress. With all the mud though you are going to have to choose costumes carefully!

My ideas so far are:

• A bunch of star wars stormtroopers
• Whichever Doctor Who and whichever assistant looks most like you and your partner
• Star Trek Crew
• Futurama crew
• Star Wars - Leia, Luke, Padme (some great costumes availble off the shelf) - Wookies may be too hot (in one sense)
• Daleks (use a whisk and a plumbers plunger - and put an eye stalk on a bike helmet)
• Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (You’d only need a dressing gown and a mobile phone as the guide)
• Red Dwarf (Yeah!) - Dave Lister would be easy with some old leathers - or even Ace Rimmer

Bestival 2009, 11th-13th September. Robin Hill country park, Isle of Wight.

We see that my-shopping-channel.com is introducing fancy dress now to its shop-while-you-work stream.This adds to the 100+ shops and quarter of a million products currently running in the beta. The’ve also got an iGoogle applet to allow you to search those stores

This is number 3 in our Pre-Raphaelite Fancy Dress Ideas

Again the hair is an important part of the pre-raphaelite look and can be created for fancy dress or theatrical costume using a wig
Some existing costume replicate the clour and texture although most theatrical clothes drape differently.

This turns out to be much easier than all the complex instructions on the web.
