HEAVENS – LOOK WHO IT IS!

Freud would have had a ball with the subconscious desires behind choice of costumes when Georgie Fame threw a fancy dress party at London’s Cromwellian Club on Sunday to celebrate the 21st birthday of his fiancee, Carmen Jiminez.

Ringo the Arab, John Lennon the Priest, Paul McCartney a Confederate General and Brian Epstein the Clown, were among the many strangely garbed celebrities at the Coming of Age party for Georgie Fame’s fiancée Carmen Jiminez, held at London’s Cromwellian Club on Sunday. All the guests wore fancy dress, and rivalling the Beatles were Jane Asher as an angel, Georgie Fame as a Regency Buck and Zoot Money as a tramp. Rik Gunnell went as Rudolph Nureyev and danced with publicist Jim Ramble – who was in drag!
