Be There or Be Square

-- Last Thursday was Rockabilly Party Time!

Sally Broyeur landed with an underground hall she had booked for a concert which was cancelled.
We had the place already, let's have a multipurpose-party: support party, introduction of the Paris RollerGirls freshmeats, preview of the 2013 calendar, merchandizing and surprises!

The place was a charming rock'n roll basement under the Belushi's Club, very comfy with a bar and a small stage, and the theme was 50's-60's Rockabilly. Simple and efficient.

We danced all night to the sounds of the three DJs, DJ Winny Mc CORMICK (house, hip hop), DJ SID (dj drum and bass) and SYLVANIE DE LUTECE.
Meanwhile, the photos of the 'making of' of the Calendar were following one another on the wall thanks to Butch's projector. And from time to time we would have a break: we officially welcomed our freshmeats on stage, our president made a small speech, the calendar team unveiled the cover of the calendar which Mrs. Hyde had printed on a canvas sheet at work...

Who's Next: Violent & Funky

Who's Next is a semi-annual show presenting trend forecast collections and up and coming designers. Lasting 4 days, the event is huge and covers 6 halls with women's and men's wear, urban wear, leather, shoes and accessories.

All the stands of clothing brands are displayed in the halls. In order to liven up the atmosphere, some Dj stands are scattered here and there and you can have a drink, a snack or even a full meal if you are ready to pay the price.

The halls are all carpeted in white, in order to "hide the hideous damaged floor". Indeed we quickly realized that underneath, there were various traps to avoid: cracks, holes and sewer drains for the most common ones... And like any white public floor, it didn't survive the first day and turned into a black-spotted carpet.
