I must say, all this talk about Glasgow picnic fashion has begun to get me quite excited about the weekend. Not only will it be a belle and sebastian extravaganza, but it's my dear Richard's 21st birthday and what better gift than b&s? And a framed photo of me of course. So many people are flocking here from every which way and... and... that's exciting. Yes. (Please excuse my inability to form sentences. I've been studying law non stop. Eeps.) As for fashion... for those of you who will be here both Friday and Saturday, use Friday as your dress-to-the-nines night. Winchester club. Go schwanky. Go chic. Wear your best, most uncomfortable dancing shoes. Picnic begs for comfort wear. Not only must you have room in your trousers for food expansion, but even more importantly, DRINK expansion. Since that's clearly what sinister picnics do best - promote drink. How else will shy boys and girls come out of their shells? Plus, what if you must unexpectantly deal with a river? Or other mud? Or impromptu football games? And just cos you're a girl does not mean you're automatically exempt from any of these activities. Erm. I've waffled on about this for way too long. For those of you who aren't fortunate enough to be near enough to attend any of the activities, may I suggest you get together with a friend and have your own b&s extravaganza? It's the only thing that got me by when I was stuck in far flung unfriendly places. Now I'm a spoiled b&s brat. But I still sympathize. I'd be flinging venomous spittle in the direction of anyone lucky enough to be attending big gigs and picnics and... grrrr. I called te Guardian yesterday. It was scary. I was shaking. Are you proud? I'm hungry. I'll let you be. Bye -stacey _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
