Bestival

[Dr Peter O'Boogie]

I am off to Bestival on the 8th

My first time there so looking forward to it in a huge way - great line up also with some great old skool DJ's (i am thinking acid house / hip hop era here). A chance to see the PE again (its been years) and my first time at a Grandmaster Flash show - not forgetting The Cure (last time i saw them was 95 at Glastonbury) and Primal Scream doing Screamadelica (plus a host of others).

Saturday night is fancy dress night - Rock Stars and Pop Stars. What to do has been on my mind for a month or so now but last night it came to me, i am going to go as either Clint or Graham. I am shorter like Graham so that should be my best avenue, but Clint did wear some outrageous stuff (which i loved at the time) and it could be a bit chilly in the evening so a dread lock wig will keep my otherwise uncovered head some warmth (plenty available online). They both had the habit of wearing their own band shirts, so that part is sorted.

Any other suggestions or pictures of "looks" you think i might want to see - please post, i dont have long to get this together

How about Ciciolina?

Thats about the time / era i would be looking at, or do you mean i should actually go as an Italian porn star?

If you do, i fear my porn days are behind me now - the work dried up for Peter O'Big Bollocks some years ago.

I'm going too! Very much looking forward to it, despite a recent change in plan meaning I have to travel via the very tedious National Express.

Cannot wait to see The Cure, Mogwai, Bjork, DJ Shadow, Crystal Castles and so forth.

Good to hear another PWEI fan is going.

Its going to be a washed out costume from me thats for sure - managed to secure some dreads and will probably couple it with a yellow pepsi, that will be it.

Nasal Scarecrow Are you fancy dressing?

I did consider Bjork but had neither the time nor the legs to pull it off.

Got to say, I don't really get this fancy dress thing. Especially not at festivals, which seems to be pretty much standard these days (and for the past few years). Enforced fun is not fun, is it.

My brother is having a housewarming/his missus's 30th party in a few weeks and that's bloody fancy dress too. Rubbish.

I dare you to also wear the outfit to the Islington gig next month.
