We geared up in ballgowns and tuxedos for the English National Opera back in 04

Any chance of anything like that ever happening again do ya reckon?

[FunkyDenz]

Maybe, the EFestival Opera Company could perform

*bump*

Who's up for a bit of Posh (and I ain't talking Beckham's Mrs)?

We could pimp ourselves up for Snoop Doggy Dog.

Great idea!
I manage a charity shop and I've got some right crusty old posh frocks and wedding hats at my disposal. I might push the boat out and go for the peach satin puffball bridesmaid dress.

I am going begin my search for my gear at the weekend

[4AssedMonkey]

Just missed out on a bottle green velvet smoking jacket on eBay.  Think I might have to revert to my back up plan of a white tuxedo + cocktail shaker full of vodka martini.

[muddyslingbax]

What a great idea.
I'd upload a couple of last years ballgown and white suit shinanegans if i could
Defo up for some of that again.

[muddyslingbax]

so now we're a bit closer
is this happening?

[4AssedMonkey]

Can't speak for all but me and my two amigos will be tuxedo'd up for Friday daytime!

[LondonTom]

Sure, I am in, I am hoping to find cheapish stuff soon

This sounds FUN  

[FunkyDenz]

This is definitely happening. Am getting some fabric for my posh costume this weekend.
Join the Facebook group, you can put your ballgown photos there too.

yup, already on  

[featherboa]

This sounds an ace idea!

We were thinking of pimping ourselves up for Snoop Dogg, but I feel looking posh will be far better! I did get a tweed coat from Glasto in 2007 so I'll be bringing that with me!

There is also an amazing Vintage/Retro charity shop close to where I live so I'll be looking in there for some pieces! My boyfriend already has a fob watch so he can accessorise with that and I am sure I have some cigarette holders lurking somewhere!

I've got a fair few old suits/tux's passed on to me by my Dad and old uni housemates - i guess they see me as a charity case.

Anyway if anyone is short of a jacket or trousers or both let me know! i'll have a count up at home tonight and let you guys know how many jackets/trousers i actually have. I would be happy to hand them on for a good use. Though i cant promise they'll fit.

Perhaps i can swap a suit for a ball gown...

you able to keep me in mind for a jacket please? will be happy to donate to you or charity or whatever for a loan i'm 6ft 2in and pretty average build.

[misseatalot]

I'm trying to persuade my OH to dress up, not really going to go for it on my own, although I appreciate I wouldn't be on my own if I met you guys

yeah no problem, one of my old housemates was fairly tall so you should be ok!

Though now I think on it I may have bagged them all for charity...

thinking more on it, I don't think I ever took them to the charity shop.

More concrete details tonight!

[FunkyDenz]

Just got the material sorted for my Posh frock coat. It's going to look impressive, might look more pimp than Snoop Dogg.

I guess it's time to think about meets. Not every one attending Posh Friday will want to see Snoop, so how about two meets?
One just before Rolf Harris (around 10:45am) and the second meet half an hour before Snoop (around 4:15pm going by Halvin's clashfinder)
Both meets at the Cider bus.

Any other meets can be done by going up to someone dressed posh, and asking them if they're part of Posh Friday.
