2012 Disco Party at Lake of the Ozarks

This weekend we are having the Annual Dog Days Disco Party and you won't wanna miss it!!  Everyone is always excited to get their groove on and show up for the final party of the season - but the question lingering in everyone's mind... "What am i going to Wear"??  Not only did the Disco era have some amazing music, but also a wide array of amazing fashions for you to choose from!!  Here are a couple of ideas to get your imagination juices flowing!!

Go to your local Thrift Stores - this is by far the best place to start when putting together your retro ensemble.  There are plenty of dated clothes to choose from and more than likely you will find them at a great deal!!   Look for polyester shirts, shiny pants, thick chains, halter tops, mini skirts and bell bottoms are some perfect things to look for. 

Have fun with your hair - Show off your own hair in a whole new style or choose a wig!!  Men should consider growing a thin mustache or purchasing a "stick on" mustache for the evening or maybe even finding that perfect Afro wig.  Ladies, Afro wigs are also a great choice along with teased hair, super straight hair or maybe try a Farrah Fawcett style.

Dress in Costume - There are some great classic characters from the 70's disco era to pattern your style after.  Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, the Partridge Family, the Brady Bunch, or how bout the gang from Scooby Doo?  Think about (or Google) the television shows or movies during the 70's and use their style as a party outfit inspiration.


Have Fun  - This is one of the best Parties at the Lake of the Ozarksand a celebration of a great season coming to an end.  It's your time to let your Saturday night Fever Burn.  Hey, if you love a great party but you don't have the 70's attire, come on out to Dog Days and help us close out a great season with a Far Out Party that will Blow Your Mind!!!



Enjoy the Disco party and last day of the season for Dog Days Bar & Grill and don't forget, Shorty Pants is still open 7 days a week!!
