Caught by the balls, scammed, hoodwinked.

Right so, here's the current situation in the wild hills and mountains of Co. Kerry.

I verbally signed up for a deal that involves my participation in a social occasion during my next visit to boost the economy across the water.

The last time our British friends and relations were over here eating me out of house and home and trying their best to empty my drinks cabinet I was asked would I attend a concert in their company and asked would I dress up for it as everyone else would be doing so.

I immediately thought it'll be a good excuse to whip out the Hugo Boss fine threads and shiny shoes so readily agreed and am on course to once again comfortably fit into said items.

One of the relations hoodwinked me into a toast/promise that I would dress appropriately, dopey here didn't give it a second thought until she rang last night half drunk and let the cat out of the bag telling me that the concert is The Rocky Horror Show, that I should Google it, that I'm a man of my word and everyone is looking forward to it. My wife, the wretch, was in on this plot from day 1 and thinks it's hilarious and I have to "do it for the craic, shur no one knows you over there really".

Any males here ever get dressed up for this public display of filth and fornication? What would I get away with without going back on my word? I was trying to think of a get out clause last night drifting off to sleep and "the codeword is Kerrygold" came into my mind during a mad dream.

If any of you lads have experience dressing up for this I'd appreciate some tips, photo's would be a help too.

Cheers mates.
 
Did you not go to a Catholic convent school when you were young, or at least see one on your travels?

If so, just model yourself on a nun and you'll be fine, though be careful not to develop too strong a liking for the wimple ;)
 
Yep. Did that at the Medical School gig back in 1856.


My tip.

You could probably get away with Riff Raff:-

Perhaps avoid Frank-N-Furter?

I have done the Riff raff. You can buy the wig on evil bay annd spats. Charity shop for suit with tails.
And I did avoid Frankenfurther. But a friend I know did it…….. in heels.
 
Man up, full on Frank ‘n’ Furter or don’t go. I went to the stage show and chickened out, regret it to this day.
To go to the pub prior in full regalia will command enormous respect from all around.
 
When faced with challenges like this, I ask myself one very important question.
'Do I really want to go and see it or do whatever it is'
I then just forget about it and do what I want to do.
The big advantage is I don'd need to dress up for the fish, for they care not what I'm wearing 😅

Neil.
 
Sorry Fair Hill old mate but now you have put it on here you can't just chicken out, you MUST go fully dressed for the part and don't forget WE NEED TO SEE A FEW PHOTOS"! ;)
 
Went to see the show many years ago.....great laugh and a memorable night.
Funnily enough I went in my "civvies" as I didn't want to look too much of a tw*t, the previous Mrs O went all dressed up in a rather fetching bodice/stockings etc and I must have been one of the few not to be wearing a dubious outfit and I actually felt a bit daft not to be "dressed up"...... wasn't as conspicuous in the pub afterwards though - swings and roundabouts!:D
We will be expecting your photo's once the deed is done for critical review!

A nun sounds like the best of a bad lot to choose from, I'd be practically incognito and could discreetly smuggle in a couple of naggins in the bra under the habit.

Good call willie, bless you my son.

Kind of looking forward to it now.
