Shocking Fancy Dress Mistakes by chloe ramsbottom
Fancy dress is something that you can easily get wrong. Take the case of Colin Terry whose unfortunate fancy Dress Costume choice may cost him his reputation. Mr Terry is a Chief Superintendent with Devon and Cornwall police who has been serving in Afghanistan as an advisor to the Afghan Government, on counter terrorism issues. His fancy dress choice of wearing an Osama Bin Laden costume and mask to a summer carnival parade in his home village in Cornwall was meant as an in-joke for his friends to guess who he was, as he walked past on the parade. Unfortunately for Mr Terry the joke backfired when a local journalist photographed his fancy dress choice. Mr Terry has had a complaint about him made to Police Complaints Commission, and the police force in Devon and Cornwall have condemned his poor costume choice.
This is not a one-off case of poor judgement, cast your mind back to 2005 when Prince Harry decided to attend a âcolonials and nativesâ fancy dress party as a Nazi soldier in desert uniform. This poor choice landed him in hot water with the public and the media, and lead a former minister for the armed forces Doug Henderson to claim that the prince was obviously not suitable to take up a place at the Sandhurst Military Academy. If only he had followed his brothers fancy dress lead, and gone as a lion.
The organisers of parties can also get things very wrong. Take the Converso Call Centre in Southend that regularly organises employee events including fancy dress parties. One of their parties had a cops and robbers themed event. Unfortunately a member of the public saw two of the fancy dress wearing revellers arriving. Normally this would not be a issue, but this particular member of the public described the two armed men dressed in dark clothing entering an office building after hours, to the local police. Having a police armed response unit raid your office fancy dress party certainly makes it a night to remember, but for all the wrong reasons.
Southend has had problems like this before when local man Lawrence Corcoran attended a fancy dress party dressed as Rambo. At the end of the party Mr Corcoran invited some friends back to his house to carry on the revelry. Unfortunately walking down the street on the way back to his house Mr Corcoran was seen waving his toy gun at friends and also aimed it at passing vehicles, some of which swerved out of the line of fire. The party ended abruptly when two armed response teams and police dog handlers arrived, closing the street and ordering everyone out of the house. Mr Corcoran was ordered by the court to do eighty hours of community service and pay a sixty pound fine.
Few people could ever get it as mixed a response to their fancy dress costume as a conservative party councilor for Barnet, Brian Gordon. Mr Gordon is a big fan of Fancy Dress, having dressed up as a number of famous political leaders including Ronald Regan, Boris Yeltsin and Ariel Sharon. Unusual fancy dress choices, but nothing distasteful about them. The problem occurs when you add Nelson Mandela to the list, and black up in the process. Mr Gordon thought little of it and even had a picture taken and sent it to the local press himself. When questions were raised about whether it was right for a local councilor to black up, Mr Gordon confronted his critics saying he always dresses as major political figures at fancy dress parties and surely it would be racially prejudiced to exclude Nelson Mandela from his options just because he is black.
The mistakes are clear, but not to the fancy dress wearers at the time. Itâs ok to dress up and make a fool of yourself but donât go into controversial subjects. If you must go as a soldier choose an allied soldier not Nazi, if you must go as a terrorist try Guy Fawkes not Osama, and most of all leave the guns behind.
