Feeling Stylish

I had the delightful pleasure of going to see Apollo 101 at the Waterfront last night. If I’m honest I was a little nervous, I always am when seeing bands that I’ve only ever heard on CD for the first time. Well, you’ll all be happy to know that I was impressed. I might even go as far to say that they are better on stage than recorded. They have this brilliant energy about them, charisma and musical talent. Despite singer, Chris; sore throat the band performed a brilliant, powerful rendition of “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” by Shania Twain. Their songs are brilliant, catchy and I’m now very, very excited for their single launch on the 15th November.

Check out their Myspace for details of gigs.

Normally a smaller band with vaguely engage the audience but they will stand at the back of the room moping around and pretending to be too cool to listen to small bands. This was not the case with Apollo 101, their sheer energy onstage drew the crowd to the front. Clapping and whooping followed each song, it certainly seems like the band made some new fans and throughly impressed all that were out to see them.

So, lunch break. I went off with Embo (she’ll be doing the guest Face Art post in a week or so) we had some lunch then headed to Bank because she’d seen a lovely sequined dress in there. After deciding that £50 was too much to spend on a dress we took a peek at the sale rail. Embo found a gorgeous pink and black dress, as a sexy size 12 lady you’d think a medium would be the correct size.

We got into the changing room and I stood outside Embo’s room whilst she got changed. I then hear “Jeeeesss,” I turn away from the very flattering full lenth mirror and presume Embo needs me to do the zip up on the dress. I open the curtain only to be confronted with Embo with the dress on her shoulders. I try and help her get it past her epic boobs but to no avail! We then decide that she should step into it. It took us a fair while to get it back over those boobs.

In the end Embo decided that she may not have been destined to the last £20 pink dress in a Medium. Instead she opted for the, nicer in my opinion, dress below.

I’ve asked her for pictures and will no doubt be allowed to post them when I get them!

EDIT: Here is a pic of her in the dress. Awesome I think!
