Help! Party - Come as the year you were born...

[Mojo]

Friend of mine is having a birthday party at the end of this month and she wants everyone to come as the year they were born.

I was born in 1972.

Apart from the obvious has anyone got any suggestions on what I could go as? I've looked on various sites and so far I've come up with either;

Liza Minelli in Cabaret
The Godfather
Alice Cooper

Any good advice would be very welcome!

Any clues on the month you were born Mojo? might help narrow a few options down

My first thought was as yourself as a baby, Nappy, dummy and a rattle and yer away lol, might be a bit cold tho

August - Alice Cooper's Schools Out was no.1.

Funny you say that huggie, my Mum is going too and I asked if I could wear a blanket and be tied to her with a bungee clip but strangely enough she said no!
