Hey! I'm organising the same thing for my dh (40th)

I was toying with just a generic 'summer of love' (1967) theme, but now we're doing casino royale (posh frocks and djs).

ok that doesn't help you, so how about:

joan baez (hippy)
prince (platforms and catsuit with sequins)
right said fred (thinking of the daz advert)
Brian Ferry (smart suit and brylcreem)
mick jagger (scruffy shirt, clown lips)
errol brown(?) (hot chocolate)
jimmi hendrix (flares, bandana, pre-pubescent tash)
aretha franklin (she wore kaftan things, didn't she?)
Barry white (large padded suit)
howard jones (black beret, black/white check shirt)
Mama Cass (see demis roussos)
dolly parton (what can I say..!)

I think these ought to be easy enough to copy...

I must be getting old - I can't think of any outstandingly styled 90s or 00s R&P stars...

[willywonkasEgghunt]

Love the Casino Royale theme - may save that for my 40th (though, of course, that's ages away...)

[oatcake]

he doesn't know about it so shhhhh, keep it to yourself!

[willywonkasEgghunt]

sorry!
