Sinister: confetti

[Gillian Kirby]

last night at rehearsal (The Gondoliers, in case
you're wondering) the stage was full of confetti. Of
course, it was for a chinese new year's party, but it
felt like they knew I was coming. While we were meant
to be practising ballroom dancing and running to
different corners of the stage in a random way that
will only make sense in costume during show week, me
and fellow ballroom bitch Yael started playing cat's
cradle with string, tying each other up with coloured
ribbon, and tying plastic flowers (with classy fake
plastic dew) in our hair. It's this new haircut that's
making me behave like a mischievious child. A strange
incident at the hairdressers' last week led to me
scissoring off my locks into a little fluffy bob with
a fringe...as I haven't had a fringe since the age of
two it was rather disconcerting and I felt like a
lesbian PE teacher. But as one of my friends told me
I'd morphed into a member of Ladytron, maybe i'm more
of an indie-girl cliche. Well, it was the fringe or my
kneesocks anyway (I've only just begun to be able to
wear the things again after five years of the terrors
of polyester blue knee-highs for my school uniform...)

I'm off to eat sarnies now. If christophe from York is
reading-where the sufferin' suckertash is my email?
