i'm going to glastonbury!!!!

...ok so not the most imaginative post title ever, but it's straight to the point! after approximately 54 minutes of anxiety, reapplication of deodorant, 2 cups of tea, Frasier, a disgruntled sleepy boyfriend and finger burn (from hitting 'refresh' countless times) the pals came through for me and got me that all important ticket to Glastonbury Festival! I've spent the last 6 months since the first release in october trying to avoid the hype from pals who'd already got tickets, line-up announcement and the go outdoors shop, just in case i didn't get lucky on sunday, with only one slip up where i bought what can only described as glasto-apprope clothes on a recent trip to primark. so needless to say i'm extremely happy to have got a ticket as i know how lucky i am to have managed it! emily eavis tweeted that 'demand far outstripped supply' meaning that many were left disappointed  (as a successful demandee, i am smug to hear this). so as a newly smug twat i have allowed myself the pleasure of mentally making lists! what to wear - god what to wear?! - how many  baby wipes will be truly neccessary, how much beer to take etc. and as a first time glasto-goer (that's right i'm a glasto virgin!) i feel it's important to be prepared!

but since this blog is about fashion i think it's appropriate to share some of my clobber ideas, rather than bore you to death with my practical ideas (note to self: take olbas oil sticks to shove up my shnozz when i go to the toilets to mask the smell). since festival fashion, and in particular glasto, allows you to dress as absolutely ANYTHING you feel like from one day to another, i think this will be a great time to experiment with some different looks, here's a few ideas:

i could channel my inner gwen! 90s stylee! although i think i'd have to grow my hair A LOT to achieve those twisty buns...

one of my favourite stevie nicks looks. this is definitely one i'll be rocking! who knows where i can get a top hat from? american apparel bodysuit, with lots of jewellery and a scarf. done.

leopard jacket, polka dot bow tie, oriental scarf, stripy t-shirt. keith richards is ticking all the boxes here for me

on the subject of the stones, who i don't need to mention are playing at glasto, i know i just did it anyway...bianca jagger, queen of studio 54 and ex wife of our mick had great style, making androgyny sexy! all i need here is a long silky dress that i don't mind ruining (would need a serious chazzer shop drop on but when there's a will there's a way) and a feathery headband and i'm good to go!
