Could try harder....

A quick shot from King's College fancy dress ball last night. Tickets for this are like gold dust by all accounts. That guy in the white shirt has let the side down...
Book Club tonight - sorry - struggling to keep up at the mo - hopefully tomorrow a little quieter....

Great fun, though I can't help wondering what the girl in the short blue dress, long socks and sturdy shoes is dressed as!

[Jen Hudson]

Yes apt title. Good shot of them quite a few different styles there, nice composition.

[Melanie Savage]

Completely agree with your title! If your going to a fancy dress party, go all out!

[Jo]

Oh to be young and carefree .... then again I'll skip the hangovers they'll probably have!

[Ruth Lueth]

Awesome costumes! Looks like lots of fun.

[Pat Knowles]

Spoil sport, he hasn't even tried! Must say I hate fancy dress too !

[Humphrey Hippo]

The guy in the white shirt reminds me of Wednesday in the Addams Family, "I've come as a serial killer. They look like everyone else."

[Diana Moss]

This looks fun , I like the duck

[Alison Tomlin]

Thats so arrogant to go without a costume. The next PM?

[Joyce Wells]

Looks a bit like our Halloween with all the costumes (or not, in the case of "white shirt"!)

[Mike]

..but so could the girl in the blue dress! Love the guy in the green pudding bowl hat!

[Lisa]

Great cast of characters, not sure I understand the whole concept about balls....

[Barbara Paquette]

Maybe he has a "kick me" sign on his back?

[Phil Howcroft]

he's boy george's minder Judith :) ...a great bit of candid work

[Louie]

Great shot. Love the contrast in characters and the lighting in this shot.

[Peggy Sirk]

Such a fun shot! And a very cool way to celebrate the summer solstice...even if that's not the intention. :)

I like the make-up and wig on the Mad Hatter but he sure didn't put much effort on the rest. I guess after paying for the tickets there's no money left for the attire.

[Alicia]

@humphreyhippo This gave me a laugh and a half! I'm loving the penguin and the girl with ears but I reckon the sailor could have tried harder!

[Cathy]

Quite a cast of characters!

[Graham Harcombe]

I'm glad you explained - it didn't look like just another day :)

[samantha]

Indeed! how boring....i like his mad hatter pal though!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Great shot, love the selection...some great efforts!

[Amy Spada]

Looks fun!

[Judith Greenwood]

@tishpics Been pondering on that - Alice in Wonderland maybe????

[Jane Pittenger]

Looks like a lot of fun. I like this shot a bunch
