I've been invited to a fancy dress party where the theme is famous people called George. I'm looking for ideas for men and women. So far I can think of
A king George
George from the famous five
George of the Jungle

My brain is now deep into 'George is a weird word when you keep re-reading it'. Why don't we pronounce it Gee-o-or-gee? It's 'gorge' with an extra 'e' ... 😁

My brain is now deep into 'George is a weird word when you keep re-reading it'. Why don't we pronounce it Gee-o-or-gee? It's 'gorge' with an extra 'e' ... 😁

Because both 'e's serve the same purpose... To make the hard G into a soft J sound. Neither e has it's own sound in this word, they just change the sound of the G.... We could just spell it Jorj but that looks even weirder 😂

Charlie George - very distinctive hairstyle & classic Arsenal football kit

Georgie Girl - again, Google the hairstyle & 60s outfits she wore. I remember the tv series better than the film, she seemed to skip about a lot, or perhaps that was just in the opening credits.

George doesn't look like a real word now.

Find three friends and go as a group costume for the Four Georges song from Horrible Histories?

If you have an usually large head, just add some red eyelashes and go as George from Rainbow.

Captain Georg von Trapp?

I'd go as one of the Four Georges (Born to Rule Over You) and sing their verse constantly.

George Mallory? You will need stuff related to climbing though so could be a bit awkward.

Curious George? Would have to go as a monkey though which isn't exactly stylish.

They perhaps aren't the most obvious ones though so would be good to stand out.
