Tonight it's back to the 70s. Back to art-school glam with more glitter than the glitter band and t.rex and The Sweet put together would probably have worn.
I have most of it on I think. I brought some glitter from the rock'n'roll jumble sale and applied liberally -later I will find out that this has stained my face in little red patches - something I will bear in mind if I ever want to bunk off school with 'chickenpox'.
It was a fight to get here through the tight jeans and pointy shoes and frantic staring eyes (is someone here more 'on trend' *URK!* (nasty phrase) than me!). But now we're at Catch ready to brave the tempermental PA. Proxy Music is Heidi Heelz and cohorts done up to the glam-nines and playing the (earlier) songs of Roxy Music and a bit of Brian Eno. Some look more like the originals than others...'Bryan' doesn't look that bad though I think maybe Mr Ferry didn't look so worried....'Brian' doesn't quite have the flowing locks but he has quite a cool lanky streak going on. Luckily Heidi looks nothing like Graham Simpson - a fact of which I'm sure she's very grateful.... The others resemble their alter-egos to varying degrees.
It's funny to watch Hoxton people getting excited about Mother Of Pearl and Do The STrand and Virginia Plain but also great. Later I win a prize for being a glam rock dancer. I don't know if this is good or possibly in certain circles should be thought of as somewhat embarassing... I think i'll go for proud and happy with my SIGNED! Roxy Music CD....
