Glastonbury buzz

Hey kids! Festival season starts big stylee this year with the KissMyPanties crew saddling up and getting down to the Big Brother of em all. Thats right, Glastonbury 2007 - oh my god, I'm so excited I think I just had an orgasm.

Anyways, as you know I don't do nuffink by halves, which is why I'm going to be there for a whole week godammit. Just to capture all the action all the time in the Lost Vagueness field and beyond!

Two things to note as a result for when I come back...

1 - there will be a lot of pictures

More photos more photos - its all too much sometimes

It's been a rocking month boys and girls, I don't know whether I've been coming or going, but let me tell you, I've been doing a hell of a lot of both! Phew, me needs lie down now. So while I propping up my tootsies somewhere its your sworn solemn duty to check out my photos, yeah?

Hit it! with loads of sweaty action from Lucha Britannia and loads of sweet action from Aphrodisiacs - The House of Whoredom

Oh yeah, and if you haven't been to Lucha Britannia, you really should go (official web site here). Voted Number One Critics Choice in TimeOut, it really is a spanking good night and heck, if they WILL use one of my photos then it must be good. The next one is purported to be Friday 22nd June (this is unconfirmed at present so it may change), I won't be there as I'm off to Glasto (yay). If you're there say Hi, I'll be the one with the camera (duh!)

The Real Dirty Dancing, BBC3 9pm

Not having a TV is great, most of the time. Sometimes it sucks though, especially when my mate Carly phones up and tells me she's gonna be on BBC3 at 9pm tonight. From the BBC website...

The Real Dirty Dancing
Tue 20 Mar, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm 60mins

"Burlesque is back and its bigger than ever before. From Hollywood to Glastonbury, cabaret-style striptease with humour, style, feathers and sequins, is enjoying an incredible revival!

Women from all walks of life are taking courses in burlesque striptease performance to become more sexy, more confident, and more of a real woman. At the forefront of the UK scene is founder of the London Academy of Burlesque, Jo King, who has a proven track record in teaching women to embrace their womanhood.

In this film, Jo attempts to transform a group of uptight burlesque virgins in search of sexual confidence, into a troupe of sexy striptease divas! The film charts their journey through burlesque boot-camp, to a spectacular final event at a top London cabaret venue, where the troupe must perform their first live performance.

Will Jo be able to teach them to be confident and sexy, or will their insecurities get the better of them? And can joining Jo's troupe really help these women achieve the sexual confidence they are so desperately in search of? Contains nudity."

So if you get a chance, watch it for me, and cheer for Carly (she's the really tall one).

It's all happening this Saturday at a rather nice central London location. Club Indulgence is a fetish night dedicated to the dancefloor, the people and the party. I was at the last Indulgence party and though I don't really do fetish nights, I had a fabulous time and so I definitely make the exception for these people...

Location: The Bear, 2 St. John Square, Clerkenwell, London. EC1M 4DE
Time: 10pm ? 2am

Valentines ain't over yet honey, I've got some serious loving for ya this weekend

Hello my darlings, did you all have a good Valentines? Well, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Because love it or loathe it, what better way to celebrate yet another retail marketing bonanza... errr... I mean culturally significant tradition, by dipping ones toes in the muddy waters where the Vague and the Lost paddle.

Geddit on with the Lost Vagueness and the Valentines Day Massacre at the Coronet, Elephant and Castle this fine weekend comprising Saturday the 17th February. From the curious hours of 10pm to 6am.

Whatcha gonna git? Here's a clipping plagaristically snitched off their site - Hey! I'm a celebrity/photographer, get me out of this word processor!

The main attraction will be the heretical Chapel, boasting Lost Vagueness's much-loved, warped non-religious shows, definitely not for the faint-hearted, or nuns. The fetish acts performed in The Chapel caused outrage at The Big Chill last year & are set to upstage themselves in demonic pestilence even more this year. Sermon includes colourful debauchery & unbridled insanity. Live weddings will also take place in a boxing ring during the night. Divorces & shotgun weddings available on request. If you fancy being abused, despised & maltreated, step into the anti-confessional Hate Booth where an irate Valentine's-loathing priest is on call to hear your confessions. And spit & rage at you from within.

The star attraction of the night will be the legendary Lucifire performing a 45 minute spectacular show incorporating the Firetusk Painproof Circus complete with plumes of fire, beds of nails, darts, body mauling and other gruesomely wonderful elements.

A multi-faceted mixture of intoxicating cabaret, life parody, a twisted version of circus and theatre as well as unusual live bands awaits you. The stylish cabaret band Rude Mechanicals will be playing, as will Flipron, playing their trademark "woozy bohemian pop massacre" (Daily Telegraph) musical melee of pop, rock, blues, swing, bluegrass & new wave. Headlining is much-lauded, alternative Ska/rock Brighton band Los Albertos who rocked Glastonbury (2005).

Intensify your gory, mutated make up & costumes by taking a trip into Lost Vagueness's on-site dressing up box, full of lavishly Valentinian costumes including Valentine ballgowns, naughty nuns' habits, Dirty Dog collars, blooming bride dresses & gruesome groom outfits.

Recreate those nostalgic school days, & prepare to be snogged by gorgeous clubbers as we attempt to break the world record, in the largest ever game of Kiss Chase. NB:tongues allowed.

Thats enough wordage - go buy tickets now
