What do you wear when you need something that's practical, hard-wearing and versatile? Something that needs to be comfortable on both a hot summer afternoon and a cold summer night, that you can layer other garments under, looks good and is fun to wear but not fragile or sensitive to stains, dirt and dust?
I couldn't really sew when I made this for a two-day festival out in the woods ten years ago, but managed to put it together anyway and it did what I wanted it to: it was a great, entertaining festival getup, comfortable, practical, cheap, pretty much disposable - the corset was old and almost worn out. It also looked good (so I thought, at least) and it got me a lot of attention. Rather more than I bargained for, in fact; I was even mistaken for an actual nun by a few severely drunk individuals. But I had fun!
This is an early 80's sort-of-cover of a Swedish revue number dating back to 1940, same refrain but different lyrics all about how much fun there is to be had in Moscow, and a new romantic dancefloor classic where I come from. Great one for shouting along with at the top of your lungs around half past two in the morning, and loaded with nostalgia for me. Isn't it great? Michael Dee - Hurra Hurra Vad Det Är Roligt I Moskva.
