As promised, some of last weekend's Big Chill highlights.
Random Art
Sri Lankan artiste MIA (Not familiar? You'll know her from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack)
MIA asked for fans to join her on stage for Paper Planes and ended up with an invasion so huge the entire show was stopped.
The old boy celebrating his birthday in the company of Howard Marks and New Order/Joy Division's Peter Hook
We bared all for a Spencer Tunick naked photoshoot - I'm the one in yellow. Immortality beckons.
Big Chill? Friday was so darned cold we needed woolly hats
Sunday afternoon sunshine chilling to the Magic Numbers and Morcheeba
Falling in love with Mike Patton all over again. Lead singer with Faith No More, performing with Mondo Cane and singing Italian pop classics from the 1950's and 1960's accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra. Gorgeous bloke, outstanding voice, retro sound.....highlight of my weekend.
Outdoor frolics equal nightmare hair, headbands and hats are the only way to go.
After the leotard accessorised with a couple of hot air balloons at Glasto I was a tad disappointed with Paloma Faith's Quality Street frock but she was fun.
Just about time for our livers to recover until we hit the Green Man festival in 6 days time.

ReplyDeleteI love the first photo of you. you look so happy and gorgeous. I hope Ben and I will be like you and John, still going to festivals. I think we will as we love music as much as you guys do.
ReplyDeleteI saw MIA at a Sydney festival a few years ago and she did the same thing...but there wasn't as many people on the stage. :)
You look so happy and beautiful in all these photos! :D

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time and the rain stayed away! Love your floral headband!
ReplyDeleteHiya Vix,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - looks like you had a mad day out with your other half!! Thanks for dropping by my blog - I've just looked at your style challenge and what a fantastic idea! I'm going to look back at your old posts and check out the previous decades:) xo
This looks like a brilliant weekend. You look fab in your pink dress. Love the MIA song from Slumdog. I also really loved the film Control about Joy Division - not sure how accurate it is, but an incredibly moving film. xx
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!!!! You in that pink dress!!! and I LOVE the first pic!!! and I've got that matt green polish on too!!! and you are suh a breath f fresh flair Vix.
ReplyDelete...i will be back to comment a bit more on this post, haven't read it through properly just doing a flyby... xo
looks like fun and like the weather was at least dry if not warm!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your pink mini dress! It is so lovely, you look so amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does look like you had a wonderful time at this festival.
Ohh and Jacqueline Wilson will always be my favourite author however old I get, in my opinion I think her books can be read by anyone, not just kids. I do have a funny little thing about books, I am awfully lazy with reading, I find I can read a book by her in the space of a few hours, that’s probably why I enjoy them so much! If you see one on your travels, you should definitely give one a read :)
And again AMAZING dress xx
ooohhhh!!!!! You got to pose in that wonderful photo!!!! So awesome! You are living my dream life :) Not complaining, though! I am very happy to be alive and pretty well right now. Getting into charity work and living a day at a time.
ReplyDeleteWhen the photos are released, please let me know. I must get one ;) It so neat that you are Yellow as well ;)
Dear Vix,
ReplyDeleteGood on you for baring all, it must have felt very liberating!
I did some nude modelling for an art college class many moons ago & even though at first I felt uncomfortably exposed & somewhat embarrassed I have to admit that the experience left me feeling strangely empowered.
You guys are just the hippest couple!
I hope Jon didn’t mind you drooling over Mike Patton…he’s a saucepot & a half that one, yum!
I’m definitely saving a few pennies for next year…it’s high time hubby & I break into new pastures and I’d love to hang out with you for a bit at a festival, that would just be super swell!
…xXx
You always look so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love Mike Patton. I didn't realise he was so popular still.

Briliant pics! It feels a bit weird that I haven't done a 'proper' festival this year, I'm already saving my pennies for next year! zz
ReplyDeleteYeah! Getting naked with 700 other like-minded volunteers was rather liberating and fun. The paint was in individual tubs, applied by hand to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteAt first we all went out of our way to avoid any accidental body contact but once painted we all started helping others apply paint to areas they'd missed.
Can't wait to receive the limited edition print that Spencer promised each of us.

Dear Vix, that looks like lots of fun. I'm loving the pink mini dress and headband look xx
ReplyDeleteHow bizarre I only watched a documentary film about Spencers "Naked States" last night .. so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd only just been watching some of Mondo Cane on youtube!!
Such coincidences!!
I LOVE your pink dress and boots outfit - you look great!
Sal xXx
