Jack-O-Licious

Love it or hate it, I bet you watched at least some of it. The Rose Parade takes over television sets across America on the first day of every year. It wouldn't be a new year without it. There's always something in the parade for everyone. Personally, I take the marching bands and equestrian processions as my time to visit the bathroom. There are two things that I really like - really creative floats and totally cool costumes.




The Jack-O-licious float got my attention. It had the big (headed) man himself, Jack, in the middle of a floating Disco Party. Perfect for the New Year since disco parties are such a popular theme for New Year's Eve parties. You had to just love Jack's band, looking all Saturday Night Live-ish! This is the ultimate disco suit - it says shake your groove-thang like no other. Next time you are heading for a disco theme party, keep the Jack-O-Licious float in mind. Dress yourself up in a disco suit, in a glitter shirt, or a wild disco dress and you'll be ready to go.

That 70’s Party

There are birthday parties and there are BIRTHDAY PARTIES. Yeah sure you could just put together a list of friends of the Birthday Guy or Girl, have them all show up and serve food, drinks and cake. Throw on some music and maybe folks will get down a bit. I’m sure it will be a fine time. People will dance, talk, drink and laugh. What could be better??

I’m glad you asked. Make that party a theme party and that “fine” party goes way past being just fine. Just add a theme and your birthday party can be off the charts. Friends of mine just had the best time at a birthday party – with an 70’s theme. She sent me some pictures and they are all the evidence I need to prove my point.

Let’s hear it for big hair, long moustaches, silky, sparkly, polyester shirts with loud patterns. You just have to love the way the shirts are unbuttoned to show that manly chest hair. And who can forget those bitchin’ bellbottom pants! And if you are going to do the 70s right, you just have to have some cool platform shoes so you can strut your stuff under the disco ball. Blast some Bee-Gees or Donna Summer over the stereo and you’ll have a birthday party everyone will remember for ages.

Want that kind of fun? Plan your own 70's theme party!
