Flamin eck! I haven't updated this blog in over 2 years. Was the post World Cup hangover really that long? The answer is obviously YES!!!! It's a well known fact that Durbanites have been mourning the loss of any reason to dress up silly, drink copious amounts of beer and generally stay up past 10pm (and don't get me started on the Durbs nightlife for post twenty-somethings.....). Luckily the 80's Rewind Festival came to our rescue....and I've never seen so much neon clothing in one place at one time! Midge Ure proved he can still belt out a song, Nick Kershaw proved he is still as short as ever and Rick Astley proved that he drinks from the spring of eternal youth! The audience actually screamed when he came on stage. Not because we were so uber excited about the headline act. Not because Durban has a secret Rick Astley appreciation society. No! Everyone screamed because he looks EXACTLY the same as in 1987! And I mean exactly..
Full marks has to go to Jen, for coming with an outfit straight from her senior prom, complete with 3 inch high black stilletoes. I wore my trainers in preparation for 6 hours of non-stop Seafield moves that the Pink Panther would have been proud of. My outift was a homage to Agadoo, Black Lace, the first single I ever bought. Luckily, the young whippersnappers of today appear to be dipping into the 1980's for inspiration, and the shops all contain loads of 80's style clothes. A spot of Sheena Easton inspired makeup (slapped on with a trowel) and my look was complete. All that was needed was a spot of stadium karaoke.

.....its a Total Eclipse of the Tarts!
