Miss Piggy - then you can just uber-glam up for New Year, add a long blond wig and a piggy nose.

God I frickin' hate fancy dress - it makes me cringe.

We go to a NYE party with same group every year - last 2 years it has been fancy dress.

I have already announced I am NOT participating in dressing up this year.

But - my friends went as Barbara and Tom from the Good Life last year, (70s theme) complete with bottle of Peapod Burgundy.

God, I hate fancy dress!

If you don't fancy it then don't! Get a nice glam dress, sexy shoes etc and turn up like that!
