Hawaiian Party Tips Part 2

  1. Why not play musical towels on the beach. Swap chairs for towels and have fun 
  2. Pass the pineapple. Choose a challenge such as counting backwards, think of four syllabyl words (anything that is difficult after a few cocktails). The person left with the pineapple must perform a task.
  3. Hula Hoop stamina test. How long can you go? How much swishing can your body take… Great fun to get the night going.

 

Flappers and Dolls 1930’s Fancy Dress Costume Ideas

We are sticking with the 1930 (1920 carry-on) theme for dolls and molls. This time we are going to look a little closer at the original party girl, the Flapper. These girls often went to dance and jazz clubs where drinking and partying were commonplace. They liked to have fun with men and generally stand out in the crowd with as much glamour as possible. They were an integral part of dances such as the charleston and the shimmy and their playfulness and fashion styling was adopted welcomingly into the cinema world. There were many actresses that showed off the beautiful flapper dresses

There were many gangster movies, the earliest one of significant recognition was The Great Train Robbery in 1903.  The 1920’s was very much a decade of molls and dolls and the introduction of sound into cinema in the 1930’s saw an explosion in this theme. Three more famous ones were

  • Little Cesaer
  • The Public Enemny
  • Scarface

One of the most prominent actors to rise to stardom was Humphrey Bogart. This movie legend has set fashion trends for the fancy dress industry all over the world. We stock the full range of party supplies but have a look at some suggestions

Rat Trap

Once of Ireland’s most popular hits and compliments of you tube, you have to remind yourself how good this song was.

General Information About The Boomtown Rats

The Boomtown Rats released their first single, “Looking After Number One”, in 1977, and it went straight into the UK Singles Chart. The song was a raw, youthful punk rock song that spoke of pure self-interest.

Their debut album, The Boomtown Rats, featured another single, “Mary of the Fourth Form”; along with “Joey’s on the Street Again”.

The Rats’ second album, A Tonic for the Troops, was their most commercially successful. It featured three hit singles, “Like Clockwork”, “She’s So Modern” and “Rat Trap“, which became the first ever rock song by an Irish band to reach #1 in the UK, and the first of any description by an Irish band to top the chart used by the BBC (The Bachelors had topped the Record Retailer chart in 1964 with “Diane“, but only reached number 2 on the Pick of the Pops chart), and was also the first ‘New Wave‘ song to claim the number one spot.

In 1979, “I Don’t Like Mondays“, was released. This was written in response to a school shooting in California by Brenda Ann Spencer, and also reached #1 in the UK.

The Fine Art of Surfacing, the band’s third album, followed and featured the singles “Diamond Smiles” (about the suicide of a debutante) and “Someone’s Looking At You” (a song about fame and paranoia).

In 1980 “Banana Republic” was released. This was their last Top 10 hit. It was written in response to the band not being allowed to play in Ireland for fear of riots in the audience. After going places where no Irish band had ever gone before, the Rats were stunned by this homecoming, and became very disillusioned with Irish politics.

In 1981 their next studio album Mondo Bongo was released. The Rats began experimenting musically in Mondo Bongo; the album’s other songs featured a heavy dose of drum- and keyboard-based music, a far cry from the guitar-driven pub rock of the band’s early days.

In 1982, Gerry Cott left the band prior to the recording of the band’s fifth album, V Deep, which was a major shift in the Rats’ music heavily reliant on synthesized sounds.

In 1985 the band’s sixth and final album In the Long Grass was released and the band performed at Live Aid.
