ive seen something about the fringe festival on bbc 2 tonight i may watch it ... just in case

Its disgusting the way they treat Mika. I found v festival highlights on catch up tv and in 3 hours of it there is no Mika. If you put in Mika on a search on their site it says error your search had no results. So not even any videos or pics of him on the actual site

i watched every bit of coverage of the v festival and i cancelled all my plans. i am soooooo annoyed (still) NO MIKA

stupid channel 4 / 4 music

Yes, I've seen the vid and recognised it as Mika Through the Looking Glass from last year.

Ive checked the channel four website and it dosent appear to be on... unless ive missed something

"You make me tremble

When your hand moves lower

(When you're in love)

You taste a little

Then you follow slower

(When you're in love)

Nature has a way

Of yielding treasure

Pleasure made for you "

steps "chain reaction"

This version of this song has been

stuck in my head for days

but these are the only lyrics i can remember lol

Part 2...

 

Mama P came out in this long, light green coloured dress (green? greeny-blue?) and there was quite a few of us hoping to be picked. Mama P stood there ages wondering who was going to be who and didn't *really* want to turn anyone down. Mama P did look at me a couple of times though and smiled. I kinda wonder if she knew who I was. I had my Fokker hoodie with me so maybe she saw that. Anyway she picked 4 or 5 slim girls to be lollipop girls and I was like "Oh God, that's me out. There's no way I'm going to fit into a Big Girl costume" so I really thought there was no hope, but she looked at me and said "would you like to be Big Girl?" or something, so I replied "yes, thank you very much" and I smiled and she smiled and I walked out of her way so she could view everyone else. Sharonkitty, Disturbed Angel and their friends were picked, as were Jazzy, Ingie and Freddie but you aleady know that.

 

(off topic, Maria - the backstage crew person - saw my Fokker hoodie and she went "Oh I got mine the other day! They're lovely and comfy." )

 

As soon as I was picked for Big Girl I had a sudden minor panic attack inside as I remembered that Big Girls wore the huge masks and Lollipop Girls wore the veils. I was like OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my God. This is going to be horrific.

 

We walked inside and we practiced the march, Mama P grabbed my arm and placed me behind the last lollipop girl lol. So we started marching backstage pretending to hold flowers (we weren't throwing them at Mika at this gig) and Mama P stood there looking at everyone as we practiced.

 

So then we grabbed our stuff again and went behind the actual stage. I had my Fokker hoodie wrapped round my waist as it was getting bothersome holding it all the time I saw Sunshine and I smiled and said hello. He said hello back but I don't know if he knew who I was since we'd never met before lolz. I then saw Owain again and there was Fortune and John, Andy was there and he was talking to Freddie and then I saw Yasmine out and about about wearing her Fokker hoodie. No idea why, seeing as it was so hot We also saw Mika walking around wearing shorts, a while polo shirt (I think?) and his Kick Ass glasses. He said hi to a few people including me.

 

So then Mama P rounded us about and we tried on the corsets. I was second to last and I knew I was gonna be in blue, but Mama P tried on these different colours first and I was thinking "you know what, I'm really not quite this big" lol I was wearing a baggy top though, so maybe that threw her off She kept going "no it's too big, too big..." and she spent quite a while with me. I thought "oh dear, I'm going to be chucked out." but then she found a blue corset and went "perfect!" Phew.

 

After that we tried on the masks and I thought ohhhhhhh my God. Jazzy tried to reassure me though, saying that it really wasn't that bad or that heavy. So I tried on the orange one and...well. It wasn't as claustrophobic as I thought it was going to be as there was quite a bit of space, but the peek hole - which is the nose - was kinda high up so I couldn't really see a great deal. There were a lot of holes as well (the teeth?) but they were also hard to see out of. What I did was that I tilted my skull back a bit so I ended up having more of a gap and the bottom so I could see my feet more clearly. The skulls were hard to control though and kept wobbling about all over the place whenever you moved. Nevertheless, I survived the test and took it off.

 

We then told to leave and come back at 8:15, so we went. On my way out I walked past this tall woman and I looked up at her and realised it was Imogen Heap! I was like "whoa", and thought that maybe they'd sing "By The Time." I didn't bother her though so I just walked out and went back to the queue to meet up with the others.

 

We all went out in single file and I saw iMMa and Cherisse heading our way. They were saying hello to people as they walked passed and then they got to me and recognised me, so iMMa stopped and said "hello! How are you doing?" So I got to chat with iMMa and Cherisse for a bit. One of the other big girls stayed at chatted with them too but I can't remember who it was Anyway we talked about the Lebanon gig (iMMa said the cushions kinda hurt LOL) and about how I was burning (honestly, wearing factor 30 does nothing for me apparently ) and I told them that I was gonna be a Big Girl and they were like "Oh wow!" so we said goodbye and I said that I'd see them later.

 

6:30 came round quickly and everyone was let in the venue. MFC got front row! (As far as I know anyway) so I stayed with the other Fokkers whilst I killed some time. Nature soon called though so I went to the toilet and met up with Ingie, Fred and Jazzy. Ingie recorded me for the Birthday Project and time soon passed, so it was time for me to leave. (the other 3 didn't need to be there that early.)

 

So I left and then Maria came out wearing her Fokker hoddie! We waited a few minutes and then we got taken in to wear our costumes...
