Sarah wanted to do her birthday in style and hence in collaboration with a group of her close guy friends Andrew, Sam and Joel, they together hosted a Tube Stop Party at their place for her. Yep so the idea is to pick any station on the Tube map and dress up to it! I've heard Marcia mention it before and it sounded really fun so I started thinking about what K and I could dress up as.
Drumroll.....!!

| lol can you guess?? |
Hint: we were the investigative duo!
Haha yes so K was Mr James Bond (Bond Street) and I was Sherlock Holmes (Baker Street!)
K just needed to wear his work suit with a bow tie and so didn't have to spend any money whereas I bought the Sherlock Holmes cap and a pipe and a magnifying glass. I was lucky I have a pair of work trousers in brown tweed and I borrowed the cape jacket from my colleague to finish my outfit! It turned out quite well, we couldn't stop giggling.
When we arrived, wow it was full of people dressed up. Really innovative ideas and for a moment, it reminded me of those house parties we had during our exchange days in Canada (yes yes long time ago).
Top left: Sarah was dressed up as a queen (Queesway)
Top centre: Bolette was dressed up in a long white dress with her curly blonde locks as Angel
Top Right: of course we needed an action hero. I could not have guessed this one: Leicester Square. Think film premieres!
Middle left: This was hilarious. His last name is Shepard and with a bunch of leaves, well, it's meant to be a bush. Shepard's Bush!
When we first entered the flat, K and I were both transfixed at this half dressed man walking past us and while doing so he just said to us "Bond Street! Baker Street!" before walking away. Super funny!
Middle centre: This was a smart play of words. We had Jo and Dan as Barbie and Ken. Say it quickly and you get... Barbican!! Really good, we were impressed with Barbie and her blonde wig.
Lower left: When Bond met Bond. lol yes we had two Bonds in the house!!
Lower right: Don't mess with the investigative duo hehehe
Really fun night overall. Certainly made it easier to strike up conversations with people cos people were guessing each other's tube station. Other interesting dress up ideas: we had Chantel as an air hostess (Heathrow!) and we had Joe who came up in a black shirt full of pins. I had no clue and he told me Pinner to which I went "huh?" and he said it's on the Piccadilly Line in zone 4 or something. Ok no wonder I don't know. We had John with a wired halo above his head and holding a wooden stick. lol St John's Wood! We had Kathy dressed up in a beautiful sari for East India, we had another angel with full wings and halo and we had two guys dressed up as tennis players (Wimbledon!), one of them even in this Scottish hat cos he wanted to be Andy Murray. Sam was in a singlet and shorts - Island Gardens. He said that was his island outfit. Fair enough. I saw Marcia in a hat and a cross. Hatton Cross! Would never have guessed that but another good play of words there.
Can you imagine someone dressing up as... Waterloo??
