Fancy that!

American Graffitti offered to dress us for the red carpet and what a great job they made of it, with Tracey spending many a long hour getting her head around how to make a bow tie for a banana.



The Hilton Street shop is an Aladdin's cave of camp fashion and kitsch and after posing for a few shots we headed on to Oldham Street to hand out flyers for the store. After a couple of minutes we realised that the pitch that worked best was something on the lines of "Good afternoon sir, do you like fancy dress?"........."We do"

What a genuine surprise it was to have this photo taken

We've saved the best till last, just like Vanessa Williams did in her sultry 1991 ballad with this picture of the trio with the fantastic support runners from Stockport Harriers. They took over a grand between them on the day and carried the buckets throughout the run which ended up being about thirty miles. Top job. For that reason I will not take the mickey out of them in the caption below the picture.



From left to right: Brian (to wear anymore fancy dress would have been ridiculous), Jane (when you are stood next to a gorilla/bear in a flourescent t-shirt you have to make an effort and not only is there a pirate hat and ra-ra skirt combination in evidence but a very saucy facial expression and a 'subtle' cupping of the right breast, superb), Lee (smiling because he thought the cubicle had a toilet in it), the Banana (what's that smuggled in the bottom half of the costume?), Andy (Penelope Keith), Steve ("If I pretend I'm posing for a football team shot, maybe they won't notice"), Tarzan (another dignified pose) , Sharon (just before she turned into a butterfly)
