Speaker 1: This is the Chrissy's One show. We're talking dress ups,
Speaker 1: all right, dress up parties. I really believe that there
Speaker 1: are two very distinct camps, those that will not attend
Speaker 1: a party if there is a dress up theme and
Speaker 1: those that get very excited at the news. Give us
Speaker 1: a call. And the reason we're talking about this is
Speaker 1: because a poor woman has had to uninvite twenty five guests,
Speaker 1: what twenty five that she had on the original list
Speaker 1: to her wedding because it's a Halloween dress up theme.
Speaker 1: It's a Halloween dress up theme.
Speaker 2: More I hate her? Well, like, okay, we know, like
Speaker 2: how awful. Let me who wants to go to a
Speaker 2: wedding looking like more tsha, Like no.
Speaker 1: There's ways to do it. And I will explain that
Speaker 1: twenty five of them have been uninvited because they have said,
Speaker 1: we don't want to come to your wedding if we
Speaker 1: have to dress up as a skull or a sexy
Speaker 1: zombie or whatever. Yeah, it's a Halloween party. It's her wedding.
Speaker 1: She gets to decide that is true. And not only
Speaker 1: did some of the guests get invited because they didn't
Speaker 1: want to dress up, some of them went so far
Speaker 1: as to say that the wedding is satanic. The wedding
Speaker 1: is satanic now, and we can't we can't be involved.
Speaker 1: You can hear it, can't you. Well, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to dress blah, this' Satan's work.
Speaker 2: God wouldn't have wanted it.
Speaker 1: God, there's no to dressiner skeletor so I say, no,
Speaker 1: I love a dress up party, do yes. And the
Speaker 1: weird thing is is that I didn't know that I
Speaker 1: loved them until this story came up, because I thought
Speaker 1: I didn't. I thought I was clearly in the no
Speaker 1: I couldn't be bothered camp. But the fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is that when there has been a theme over
Speaker 1: the last thirty years, I have run with it. Exhibit
Speaker 1: a our work party where you had dress up as
Speaker 1: an icon. I put in so much effort for my
Speaker 1: Janet Jackson outfit.
Speaker 2: You looked elite.
Speaker 1: It involved going to a locksmith and getting keys yes
Speaker 1: to wear his ear rings.
Speaker 2: And then that very Christmas party, I had bleach blonde
Speaker 2: hair and I went as Justin Tim Blake or something,
Speaker 2: and you went and found me an MTV T shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the pink MDV T shirt you styled me for that.
Speaker 1: Like I obously get into it. And I think the
Speaker 1: reason is I once had a dress up party, okay,
Speaker 1: and it was come as your favorite eighties musician, and
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I came as, but I remember
Speaker 1: being I remember laughing so hard when my friend Rob
Speaker 1: de Carlo turned up as weird Al Yankovic.
Speaker 2: He looked, that's.
Speaker 1: Great, so like him. It was so funny that I
Speaker 1: couldn't laugh hard enough, you know, and it brought so
Speaker 1: much joy, and I think at that moment I went, oh,
Speaker 1: I love this. I love this.
Speaker 2: Also, it shows that your mates really love you to
Speaker 2: putting the effort to go dressed up as those sort
Speaker 2: of icons, because it takes a lot. I just hate
Speaker 2: it because I'm like, let me just come as me
Speaker 2: and enjoy myself. I don't feel my best when I'm
Speaker 2: dressed up looking like a clown, so I just want
Speaker 2: to come looking good as me, and then I will
Speaker 2: bring the party.
Speaker 1: And every party you turn up, you come as an icon.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, is made now. I think this is
Speaker 1: why you don't like it. Why is because you just
Speaker 1: as evidenced by Today's to do list and every Tuesdays
Speaker 1: to do list. No, you're the effort that you put
Speaker 1: into your looks. Every time you have a function of
Speaker 1: any sort that's your hobby.
Speaker 2: It feels creative. I like fashion and styling and.
Speaker 1: Juries, I know, and then if somebody takes that away
Speaker 1: from you and tells you what you're going to wear,
Speaker 1: You're like, this is a missed opportunity for me to
Speaker 1: get valet parking at Chatston the Compassion Capital and shop
Speaker 1: up a storm, Like what is Westfield going to do
Speaker 1: without you? For this occasion?
Speaker 2: Should be my psychologist wanting your spot on where do
Speaker 2: you stand?
Speaker 1: Do you hate dress ups? Do you love them? What
Speaker 1: are the efforts that you've gone to to either turn
Speaker 1: up or avoid them? The Chrissy Swan show. We're talking
Speaker 1: about dress up parties, and I have hosted them in
Speaker 1: the past, and I have put in a lot of
Speaker 1: effort into them in the past, and you're the exact opposite.
Speaker 2: I really don't like them, but I love a party
Speaker 2: so much that I will go even if I do
Speaker 2: have to dress up. But I still lothe every second.
Speaker 1: Year, marrus. Because you're not people aren't seeing you in
Speaker 1: your sheekest form, and I understand that I've just been
Speaker 1: sent a text message. My friend Wade is listening and

Speaker 1: Good old day's tenure when you can when you could
Speaker 1: just go wherever you like to pass the sizzler there.
Speaker 1: All right, what is your favorite dress up party?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I actually got tricked into my own dress
Speaker 3: up party. So I was I had a birthday coming
Speaker 3: up that I didn't know. They'd organized a surprise birthday
Speaker 3: party with people interstate and everything. In the mean time,
Speaker 3: another one of my friends had sent invitations about their
Speaker 3: dress up party, so we all went and got out
Speaker 3: and costumes ready. But then when I rocked up up
Speaker 3: my own party, everyone was dressed up in that theme
Speaker 3: and they had that outfit that I picked from the
Speaker 3: shop for me to put on for my own party.
Speaker 1: That is genius, how elaborate.
Speaker 2: They are some friends that love you too to go
Speaker 2: to that effort and like concoct that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it was just fantastic.
Speaker 1: We should talk about surprise parties next. Just quickly tell
Speaker 1: you what was your favorite costume of the night?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Mine was this massive massive afro and these this awesome
Speaker 3: psychedelic dress and big knee high boots and stuff.
Speaker 2: Vibe Pharmacy voucher for you tan dress up party. You
Speaker 2: love them or hate them? Love them.
Speaker 6: I do a Halloween party every year and you're not
Speaker 6: allowed through the door if you're not a costume.
Speaker 1: What okay? So if you invited Jack and he was
Speaker 1: like yes, round and I'm going to come. I'm going
Speaker 1: to bring a bottle of grey Goose or whatever the
Speaker 1: cool kids are drinking. But he was just in his, you.
Speaker 2: Know, waking monochrome outfit.
Speaker 1: What would you say to him?
Speaker 7: No, he's really got to think of someone that wears
Speaker 7: that exact outfit, or you can enjoy your great group.
Speaker 1: Well, if you're in black and white, you could be
Speaker 1: you could have been going his beetle geez.
Speaker 2: True. More likely, someone like I could have said, Hey, Jacob,
Speaker 2: a lordie just stepped off the runway in Paris. I'm
Speaker 2: dressing up as him.
Speaker 1: That's a lie and you're getting out of it.
Speaker 2: No, I'd find I'd find a reference.
Speaker 1: Rihannam says No, Catherine, have we finally got one that
Speaker 1: doesn't like theme parties?
Speaker 6: I absolutely hate theme parties. There's too much effort, take
Speaker 6: too much time. If you do put it in an effort,
Speaker 6: and not enough people seem.
Speaker 1: To pick it.
Speaker 6: So I just prefer to go as I am, unique
Speaker 6: as me.
Speaker 2: But Catherine, see, you can't even find a good argument.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense everyone else everyone's in the same boat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but some people go awful on out.
Speaker 6: It's also super expensive and if you don't do it
Speaker 6: the expensive way, everyone knows it's half half hazard.
Speaker 7: Yeah type of effort.
Speaker 1: It is true, it is worth right, it is. You
Speaker 1: can always tell the people that have come half fast, I.
Speaker 2: Know, but they come half fast in everyday life with
Speaker 2: their outfit. It's that's just the kind of person.
Speaker 1: After the Chrissy Swan Show, the Chrissy Swan Show, we're
Speaker 1: talking about unbelievably thrifty shortcuts you've taken at big events,
Speaker 1: and give us a call. If you know four and
Speaker 1: twenty pies? Did you catering via the supermarket?
Speaker 6: True?
Speaker 1: Or if you're anything like Lana del Ray who spent
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars on a dress she just got married.
Speaker 1: She spends four hundred bucks on a dress.
Speaker 2: From an opshop, good on it.
Speaker 1: I love this. I would do that. And if I'm
Speaker 1: at Savers or like Vini's or something, they often have
Speaker 1: wedding dresses there.
Speaker 2: I think it takes a certain type of person to
Speaker 2: get a with those Swani like you could, Lana could?
Speaker 2: You guys are both ever vescent pusses, so you have
Speaker 2: it within you to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: I feel like anyone could if you've.
Speaker 2: Got me eye. Yeah, you got to have the eye
Speaker 2: and some people you've got to be stylish to know
Speaker 2: how to make it work.
Speaker 1: Well, she was in New Orleans? Was a New Orleans?
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I was gonna say, oh, Louisiana, which is
Speaker 1: just a word I like to say. She was in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, which incidentally is where I got my fringed
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift jacket that I wore to the ERASTI yes,
Speaker 1: at great expense. I had it shipped over, trust me.
Speaker 1: That was not from a fifth thrift shot Anyway. There
Speaker 1: was a thrift short store there called Trashy Diva, and
Speaker 1: she popped in months ago and picked up this dress.
Speaker 1: Now she's only just gotten married, so I wonder if
Speaker 1: she'd been engaged this whole time, because this was back
Speaker 1: in May she bought the dress.
Speaker 2: I think she must have known back then she was
Speaker 2: going to Yeah. I think you would have to, because otherwise,
Speaker 2: like who cares, or unless she was waiting for him
Speaker 2: to pop the question. But I reckon she knew, and
Speaker 2: I reckon these guys have been like more serious.
Speaker 1: So you didn't know his ex fiance?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, She's.
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, sorry, what what's going on? I didn't
Speaker 1: even know that he'd moved on, but anyway, he clearly
Speaker 1: has and she has worn it is a spectacular dress.
Speaker 2: It's like full Bridgeton because those secret photos and videos
Speaker 2: have emerged of them getting married, and there's like an
Speaker 2: aerial drone shot and it looks like she's on the
Speaker 2: side of Bridgeton.
Speaker 1: Yes, all like come gone with the wind, Gone with
Speaker 1: the wind. And her hair is sort of in some
Speaker 1: up some down with a long sort of trailing piece
Speaker 1: over the shoulder, and it's got lots of flatzy off
Speaker 1: the shoulder bits, lots of layers and petticoats and all
Speaker 1: of that. And he looks very smart. He looks a
Speaker 1: lot smarter than the speed dealer look that he was
Speaker 1: sporting on the Alligator too that we saw last.
Speaker 2: Time with that Bogan camo hoodie. My favorite part of
Speaker 2: this story, though, Swany, is that she married him at
Speaker 2: his airboat tours business. Yes, where they do the croc tours. Yes, like, surely, Yu,
Speaker 2: Lana Delray, surely you go to Chateau Marmon or pick
Speaker 2: a better venue.
Speaker 1: No, I think we've got her wrong. I don't think
Speaker 1: she's clearly she's not who we think she is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's not a fancy lady. But if she's going to
Speaker 1: do this.
Speaker 2: Somewhere better than the boat.
Speaker 1: Time, I love this about it. I feel like that
Speaker 1: that is effervescent plus action right there is to just
Speaker 1: give zero hoots and wear a thrift store dress. And
Speaker 1: I reckon they probably just had, you know, food from
Speaker 1: the locals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I reckon they would have had Crocs
Speaker 2: in some of their wedding picks. Surely they went out
Speaker 2: on a boat at.
Speaker 1: Least croc shoes. Yeah. I had a win, a thrifty win.
Speaker 1: On the weekend. I was entertaining for quite a lot
Speaker 1: of people for the grand finalist aganza, and I made
Speaker 1: mini sliders. Do you know what they cost me per slider?
Speaker 1: Under a dollar?
Speaker 2: How?
Speaker 1: And do you know how I got? You know those?
Speaker 1: It's like a supermarket brand of organic meat. It was
Speaker 1: on quick sale, great, already rolled in meatballs, oh perfect,
Speaker 1: squashed them. There's your burger right there, there's your paddick.
Speaker 2: And what rolls or bread rolls did you little.
Speaker 1: Mini briot a dairy lee cheddar. They were so good
Speaker 1: under a dollar a slider.
Speaker 2: That is savvy Swanny, the crispy Swan show.
Speaker 1: And big congrats to Lana del Rey who got married
Speaker 1: over the weekend to her croc man, her croc dude call.
Speaker 1: We just enjoy this song.
Speaker 8: She's extraordinary, she is, and she's really shocked me with
Speaker 8: the marriage to this croc dude, because I never pictured
Speaker 8: her as the kind of girl that would wear op
Speaker 8: shop dressed to her wedding in Louisiana at an airboat
Speaker 8: croc tour far.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the whole vibe. Maybe you know, she's
Speaker 1: frying bacon and doing eggs sunny side up in a
Speaker 1: mini skirt and a trailer and he's whacking her on
Speaker 1: the bum with a spatul saying, you've seen me a soul.
Speaker 1: You're pretty little songbird.
Speaker 2: Tell me about those video games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe this is the new herd. But she did
Speaker 1: buy her wedding dress for four hundred bucks from a
Speaker 1: thrift shop. And I love this sort of story because
Speaker 1: you know, I've got an example. Look at this skirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I told you. The first thing I said to
Speaker 2: you today was that's an elite outfit.
Speaker 1: He said to me, look at that is an elite outfit.
Speaker 1: That is a great skirt. I said, you won't believe
Speaker 1: her I got it from. Check it out? Where do
Speaker 1: you think I got it from?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm probably going to get this right because I
Speaker 2: know you Camar Tim.
Speaker 1: Of course, six dollars thirty four delivered.
Speaker 2: That is elite.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. Thirty My son is going.
Speaker 2: Look at this slay thirty twenty four to ten. Biggest
Speaker 2: shortcut you've made for a big event.
Speaker 1: Renee, Hello, Renee hello, I mean you have not only
Speaker 1: had a shortcut, you are an investment banker.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 7: I made money on it.
Speaker 1: Tell me the story.
Speaker 7: So I bought my It was a designer wedding dress
Speaker 7: on eBay and it was myashi. It was one thousand
Speaker 7: dollars and it was the exact dress that I want
Speaker 7: to add that was over three thousand dollars and I
Speaker 7: ended up selling it after my wedding and made a
Speaker 7: profit of two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Renee, you are a genius. What brand is the dress?
Speaker 1: By the way, I just want to know.
Speaker 7: It was Grace cloves lace, Oh.
Speaker 1: Very fancy. And you've got the photos. You got to
Speaker 1: wear the dress and you made some money.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 7: You can't get any better.
Speaker 1: That is genius. And what is the point in hanging
Speaker 1: onto your wedding dress anyway, you're never going to get
Speaker 1: it out again.
Speaker 2: No, to a bit. And it's also a bit weird when,
Speaker 2: like I know, for sometimes for Halloween, people get them
Speaker 2: out or they get them out for costumes, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: doesn't that sort of taint the day you wore the dress?
Speaker 2: I think it's creepy too, but I know people would
Speaker 2: have done it. Priceline Pharmacy voucher for you, Renee.
Speaker 1: En, Hi, how are you? How much did you spend
Speaker 1: on your high wedding outfit that you went to in
Speaker 1: four Douglas?
Speaker 4: Spent ten dollars, four dollars for the shoes, six dollars
Speaker 4: for the dress. And I forgot to say, I bought
Speaker 4: a diamond bracelet and I'm not lying from the Salvation
Speaker 4: Army for a dollar and my girlfriend bought it off
Speaker 4: on me after the wedding and she gave me one
Speaker 4: hundred dollars for it.
Speaker 1: So what was the dress like that you paid six dollars?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's beautiful. It was like strapless black lace, white
Speaker 4: lace and a cream underlay. And the shoes were beautiful
Speaker 4: black shoes. But I forgot to leave. I left the
Speaker 4: price on them. Then I was saying, I broke my
Speaker 4: wrists at the wedding on the dance floor, and I
Speaker 4: had to afpital and I stay in hospital all night.
Speaker 4: But I still had the price of the shoes stuck
Speaker 4: on the bottom of the tree. My fistess just laugh
Speaker 4: that me.
Speaker 1: But eleven dollars for a whole outfit in accessories, that's.
Speaker 2: Good, That's amazing, Jenny. I just want to circle back

Speaker 5: packed that he brings in and then he'll go give
Speaker 5: it to the customer saying that he made it himself.
