Fancy dress is temporary. Unless you're from Plymouth.


One of the other things that made me laugh this weekend was Plymouth university, who decided to dress up as Native Indians. Freshers and graduates alike had all put a lot of effort in to look the part and as a group their turnout was fantastic. Actually, if anything, they had put in too much effort, as they had decided to decorate themselves with henna in order to create the right tribal effect. In the morning they found their arms, legs and (in some cases) faces were stained black and are now due to stay that way for at least a month. If only they had any skill (/modest sobriety) at applying their patterns in the first place their predicament might now be slightly better. As it is, I think there are going to be some awkward young graduates at work right now!

Henna done right. It's pretty hard for a drunken novice to emulate.
