Women of the World Take Over

This week is 'Fabulous Ladies Week'. Tonight I will be at the NME Radar tour for my fourth live viewing of The Joy Formidable.

Yes, I can't get enough of Ritzy Bryan!

How do I become Ritzy Bryan?
a. Play guitar like you love it, mean it and are it.
b. Fill as many pedal boards as will fit on stage and use them to create sonic delight.
c. Sing like a fallen goddess.
d. Grow a smart blond bob.
e. Be drop dead gorgeous with ease and never show you know it.
f. Take note of your audience. When they all grin at you, grin back.


On Thursday I am seeing Josie Long for my second live viewing or perhaps my fifth. I'm not sure what counts!

Yes, I can't get enough of Josie Long!

How do I become Josie Long?
a. Marvel at the amazing, and the amazing is often in front of your nose.
b. Use your stomach as a canvas, lift your top and show your art to the world.
c. Be coy about being funny.
d. Be coy about being clever.
e. Will the world to be a better place without being earnest.
f. Be the same in real life as you are on stage.

I like a gal who:
  • With the morning sun, strolls along a woody pathway, snapping bracken and declaring both her ignorance and an impassioned desire to learn poetry.
  • At midday performs to hundreds in the guise of a Bluewater shopper that 'goes up space', fielding questions about her ridiculously far-fetched astronautic venture.
  • As the day closes, thoroughly amuses herself - on a stage full of drunken comedians - providing random backing sounds for a Killer Crabs on the Rampage reading romp. 'Wow, are we really doing this? It's amazing!' That face said it all and, yes Josie, you did.



Fabpants Recommends:

Smiling in the face of adversity. I'm finally free of bullying landlords. It's so bloody brilliant I can't stop tingling with full body smiles.
