Glastonbury 2010 - a vintage year

I am not going to lie, I am green with jealousy of all those that are making the pilgrimage to Glastonbury this year.  This time last year I was packing my own tent. Glastonbury is the only place on this earth that can get me to fucking camp. Sozz. I like electricity. The ONLY thing I have in my box of smug is that we did not have a drop of rain and this year looks to be wet one. Oh well, here is my experience in pictures snapped by my best friend and photog Beck Mansell.

GOLD PANDA - Musician

panda ears

I would just like to start off by saying that I am rubbish at life. I hung out with Panda over 6 weeks ago and I am only posting now. Truth is?  I lost my notes. Yes I know...I'm a winner.  Anyway, onwards!
When asking Derwin aka Gold Panda where his panda ears were, he replied, 'I'm 30 years old now, I can't wear a panda hat anymore'. Are you ever too old to wear a panda hat? I don't think so. Asking him where the name came from he said he just picked a colour and then he picked an animal and that's about it really.  I get the distinct impression from Panda, that he dislikes a lot of fuss and gets irritated when things are over complicated.  
See, I'm not a big electronic music fan...to me, it kinda sounds like someone is sending a text with the sound on...almost like a series of noises, beeps and blips just for the sake of throwing them in, sometimes I think if you closed your eyes you swear someone was tryna clock an old Atari game. What can I say? I like my music to have a bit of warmth, and Panda's series of electronic sounds definitely have more of a melody running through it.  It's clean and strong, and certainly had me going.

I started my 2011 in spandex

Recognize this little number from my banner? Yup, the butter pecan fudge nut sundae of girl Tiffany from BUTCHDIVA over in Brooklyn New York made this for me and new years eve was the perfect opportunity for it's first outing. My earrings are by Cubannie Links which you can cop from DirtyRich. Spandexxxxxxx is my new bestie. My other bestie Beck took the picture. Wow, I love having talented friends.  Make me seem a lot cooler than I really am.  Thanks guys! xx
