Partie Monster and drinking from Potties….

Bitching and Junkfood jumped at the invitation to prance and pap at Partie Monster’s 2nd Anniversary Carnival on Friday night at Dublin’s Ri-ra. Bodies and faces drowned in glitter, pearl necklaces a plenty, eyelash junkies OD’ing on face-paint, freaks, fkers, misfits and fashion troubadours – we could barely contain ourselves.

Before twirling off to flash dance we got our hands on a potty – nope no little accidents – this was the cocktail speciality for the night(why wasn’t toilet training this much fun?) We then slid onto the dancefloor to throw a few shapes to the gloriously sleazy tunes of Mexican wrestler masked DJ Marquis D’Alton. Mellow, care-free, funloving and friendly – wankiness was checked in with the furs. Mimi Rouge, organiser, put it so well, Partie Monster is not about posing or anything cliché , but a night which says fuck stereotypes and let’s all just have a laugh. Well the stereotypes were fucked alright and the sartorially spectacular were out for all to see, each new outfit, dancing on our eyes like delicate fingers on a beautiful harp(Enya style) .

We’ve summarised some of the key looks that got our zoom lense out…..Head accessories were centre stage and eighties inspiration was the order of the day. We love Dark and Gothic – so much more fun that good and romantic. This is inspiring our gore problem. We’ll be rocking slit throats and bullet wounds at the Hackney Wick Fete next week – we might even get a severed limb on or perhaps a gouged out eye(yum). We salivated over a Dolce & Gabbana inspired Marilyn pritned blazer. There’s nothing like a big fuck-off recession to rev-up your inspiration and bring out your bonkers. Yes the Tiger may be well and truly dead but they are like so 2007 yah, we’re channeling flamingoes for 2009 and it looks like the Monster kids are bang on trend!

Find it, fix it, glue it, work it: Okay, so we know head accessories are big right now, but we were seriously impressed with the lengths people went to in order to develop on this trend. Weaving hair around furry creatures and even popping some grapes on for an extra kick- just in case you get peckish after all the partying! 

Stage lights and Neon Brights: love the layered coloured animal prints, we’d like to see patchwork animal prints too. Sexy boy, silky tracksuit – with 2012 fast approaching there’s a definite return to trackies trend(mind yer wallets) It’s all about Russian Gymnast chic(look at Pam Hogg and those metallic unitards ) – Irlande douze points.

From Dark to Bright – up all night: Does Touche Eclat work? NO. So instead work with the bags and exaggerate with black eyeshadow, guaranteed to make you look just as chic the next morning as you did the night before. 

Bring out the brass drums: Band Jackets are right on trend for A/W and we’re loving the different takes. We especially love the pink one which ropes-in the sequined boys looks we’ve seen on the streets of London- pink head to toe boys was also a big trend at Coachella. 

Not a bare face in sight: BITCHY GIRLS have been chanelling masks for A/A and the partie monsters did not let us down. We’re so done with intense skin-care regimes, getting creative with masks and facial paint is way more fun anyway!
