That 70s Christmas Party

That 70s Christmas Party at Arena Stadium..
It has been many years since I had been to a dress up company party. It was a 70s Christmas Party too.

Where does the line cross between a Hippy Convention and a 70s party? It looked more like Hippy convention :)
Bob Marley hair do, lots of peace signs, blings and hanky in the hair. Our Managing Director turned up as the queen because the Queen came to Sydney for the opening of Opera House.

For me - I wanted to come in my toddler clothes.. That was what I wore in the 70s, but going topless would have been career limiting.
I also wanted to wear a hanky in the hair, put it on and asked Ben's opinion - he said - dont you think you look like a cancer patient who had chemo?
Ok threw that out, just went with a conservative flare pants and frilly top.

Setting the scene, the room was colours were psycadelic, about 40 round tables, alcohol flowing, before long the queue for a sumptous meal (not of the 70s - thank goodness - would've been mouldy by now :)) but of the modern Australian buffett - Mediterranean Antipasto, Honey Soy Chicken, Rice, Salads Galore, Prawns, Octopus..
Good Quality food - in good company, followed by wicked desserts -chocolate truffles, brownies, fruit flan tartlets etc.
And not before long, music starting kicking away.. those 70s music and mixed in with communal dances kicking off with the all time favourite Nut Bush.

Its great to have a company wide party - meet new faces, catch up and say hi to people you hardly see during the year.
And me - 2 glasses of white and I started to speak like a different person and was in the company of girls dancing the night away.
That's that 70s Party.
