The World's Greatest Fancy Dress Events
There are several contenders for the title of the world's biggest fancy dress party. The following are but a few of the world's more popular fancy dress occasions, with carnivals the world over offering ample opportunity for dressing up.
Halloween.
The tradition of Halloween originated more than two thousand years ago among the Celtic tribes of Ireland. In those days people believed that the spirits of the dead came to walk among the living on the last day of the year, which was October 31st. They would dress up in scary costumes to pass themselves off as spirits and thus avoid harm from the "real" spirits. The significance of Halloween has changed down the centuries but we still enjoy the excuse to dress up as someone else on this night of the year and the tradition is particularly popular in the US.
St Patrick's Day.
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He brought Christianity to Ireland and is credited with having driven snakes from that country, although this is more likely to be symbolic of driving the "serpent" of paganism from the land. Besides its traditional meaning as a day of spiritual renewal and of prayer in support of missionaries worldwide, it has become a day of celebrating all things Irish. An estimated 70 million people world-wide can claim Irish ancestry and each year on March 17th they (and many more) celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Parades and events are held worldwide, from Vancouver, Canada to Auckland, New Zealand. People dress in green and celebrate with parades, music and song, Irish food and drink and many other Irish-related activities.
World book day.
Designated by UNESCO as a worldwide annual celebration of books and reading, World Book day is celebrated in over 100 countries around the globe. Throughout the world this is celebrated on 23rd April, which is St. George's day and also the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. The origin of the day is an 80 year old tradition from Catalonia where roses and books were given as gifts to loved ones on St. George's Day. In the UK and Ireland it is usually celebrated in March to ensure it occurs during school term time. Children go to school dressed as their favourite character from literature.
The Venice Carnival.
Dating back to the 14th century, the original Venice carnival involved everyone in the city. It broke all the rules of society and state and gave the average person the chance to lose themselves in revelry. Wearing masks and fanciful costumes, the people discarded identity, gender and social class and enjoyed parties, shows and musical events. The modern carnival takes place for one week in February each year.
Rugby Sevens in New Zealand.
The New Zealand leg of the IRB (International Rugby Board) Rugby Sevens Circuit is held every year in Wellington. About 50 games are held over two days with each game lasting 14 minutes. There is a carnival atmosphere and a large proportion of the crowd attend in fancy dress.

Drinking with Strangers $12.99 The artist named by Rolling Stone as one of America’s best singer-songwriters and the 2005 Producer of the Year shares the inside story of his music career From his days with one-hit-wonder band the Marvelous 3 to his current work producing some of today’s hottest talent—from Weezer and Katy Perry to Pink, Avril Lavigne, and Panic! at the Disco—Butch Walker has proven himself a major influence in contemporary pop music. But the road to success wasn’t easy. Drinking with Strangers takes you into the studio and onto the stage, offering a rare glimpse into a life defined by raw talent, determination, a drive for perfection, and some ridiculous haircuts. At age seventeen, Walker left small-town Georgia with his hair metal band and headed for the mean streets of Los Angeles. Full of piss, vinegar, and Jack Daniel’s (mostly the latter), these young Southern musicians were determined to become the biggest band on the Sunset Strip and land a major-label record deal. After many false starts—including an ill-fated concert tour of China—Walker’s rock-and-roll fantasies hadn’t quite come true, so he embraced the do-it-yourself approach. Taking control of his destiny, he learned to make success on his own terms, but not without some memorable, occasionally drunken stumbles along the way. Walker’s adventures taught him a number of life lessons he shares here with insight and candor, revealing the blessings of failure—and what it’s really like to spend your life going from gig to gig, drinking with strangers. In a voice as wry as his lyrics, Walker pays tribute to his influences, from his parents to MÖtley CrÜe, from KISS to both Elvises (Presley and Costello). He offers a clear-eyed yet humorous look at the music business—the greed, the booze, the drugs, the infighting, the swindles, the unfulfilled promises—and explores its bad side, too. In documenting his rise to the middle, Walker frankly describes the delicate balance between success, selling out, and just knocking back another shot of whiskey to numb the pain. Whether or not you are familiar with Walker’s music, Drinking with Strangers is a must-read for anyone who wants to make it in the music world, covering such essential topics as the digital revolution and its impact on both performers and producers, the art of creative collaboration, and what it’s really like to work with cutthroat competitors who might steal your soul (and your song). Unflinchingly told, Walker’s twenty-year journey of failing upwards becomes an unforgettable rite of passage. |
