We were pleased to find that we were the only 'African' hatted folks there!
Our hats didn't really make too much sense on their own and so we decided to go for the 'complete look' and added the rest of the outfits just for fun.
This picture was taken in the dining area of our house before we left - not bad for a 'set the camera up and fly into position before the flash goes off ' effort!
The 'grass Basotho' hat pictured here is made out of an old unwanted and unused lampshade with it's innards removed. The 'grass' effect is a piece of cardboard decoratively painted and glued onto the lampshade!
The company supplied a bus for us to travel to the function on, all kitted out with a chilly bin containing beverages of the alchoholic variety to get the show on the road!
Half way to the function in Palmerston North, the bus stopped for a 'comfort stop' and 'one for the road' - Jo snapped here with Rachel who keeps the machine -which is the office, well oiled and running smoothly.Hugh and Glennys with their ties and hats - we ride in the Ulysses Motorcycle Club with them and have heard about very daring costume parties which they have attended. Seems the kiwis can be outrageous too!
Good on ya Robert!
Michael Skelton in his extremely spectacular Christmas hat.
A hat of the feathered variety!
A couple more hats.
For the most part, the music was pretty good and some folks had fun on the dance floor. The DJ for the evening tried very hard to get people to volunteer to take on a karaoke microphone, but there were no takers!
And here is the Scotsman, Andrew, in his spectacular winning hat!
This picture really doesn't do his creation justice - he was a very deserved winner!
Dis al!
