The two topics dominating the news at the time in my country was: speculations about a possible Russian submarine stuck in our archipelago, and the sudden increase of beggars with handwritten signs after Romania and Bulgaria’s accession into the EU.
So naturally I went clubbing dressed like a Russian sailor, with a handwritten sign begging for money for plutonium “for make submarine back to motherland”. Complete with snorkling tube/mask and paper cup with some change to rattle at people. I left the club with more money than I came with, even after paying for all my drinks (redbull vodka all night of course).
I still like to do topical costumes or friend group in-jokes now that the parties are smaller and private. Too old for clubs nowadays.
