Heroes
A select few people have earned a Stay Beautiful Legion D'Honneur. They are: The girl who hit Prince Charles with a flower. The bloke who smashed up Thatcher's statue with a cricket bat. The guy who smashed up Posh and Becks' waxworks at Madame Tussaud's. Eden Strang, nude samurai. The Bosom Fairy.
WE PLAY: SLEAZY GLAM // HI-VOLTAGE ELECTRO // GLITTER ROCK // SHOUTY GIRL MUSIC // F UCKED UP DISCO // '77 PUNK // NEW WAVE // ALTERNATIVE ANTHEMS // POP TRASH (and if you wanna know what we mean by all that, have a look at our Music list!)
*SATURDAY 1st AUGUST: STAY BEAUTIFUL SAYS GOODBYE…*
All good things must come to an end, and more than 8 years and more than 100 parties is a fantastic run by any standards. We're sorry to have to announce the end of an era: the next Stay Beautiful is on SATURDAY 1st AUGUST, and it will be the night that STAY BEAUTIFUL SAYS GOODBYE. For the moment, that - along with the fact that all of Stay Beautiful's regular DJs (Simon Price, Tony Maggs, David Ryder-Prangley, Cherry Foxxx) will be DJing - is all that we can tell you, but watch this space for details. We know you'll all want to be there to bid SB farewell...
*ADMISSION PRICES*
Regular admission prices are as follows. Standard price is £7 (i.e. if you can‘t even be bothered to pick up a flyer, bring some sort of concessionary ID, or wear an SB badge). However, for very early birds, it's just £4 BEFORE 10.00pm, and if you come with a flyer (printable version: http://www.staybeautifulclub.co.uk/eflyer.htm ), NUS/DSS card or a Stay Beautiful badge, it's now just £5 ALL NIGHT!
*CHEAP BOOZE, FREE BOOZE!*
Drinks at the Purple Turtle are, you'll be glad to hear, served at pretty reasonable, pubby prices anyway (certainly compared to one or two of our previous homes). And, to set you on your way towards alcoholic oblivion, we now have an amazing HAPPY HOUR from 9pm-10pm! The frankly irresistible deal is 2-FOR-1 on Fosters, Strongbow, Bells/Gordons/Bacardi Oro/house vodka (with mixer), and pitchers of Jesus Juice. What's JESUS JUICE, we hear you ask? It's a cocktail served exclusively at Stay Beautiful - a delicious and potentially head-fvcking blend of vodka, Archers, cranberry, lemonade and fresh lime - at £8.50 per pitcher ALL NIGHT (a wide variety of other cocktails will be served at a tenner per pitcher). Furthermore, as aficionados of messy vodka-guzzling will be aware, Stay Beautiful has a somewhat notorious tradition called the WATERING CAN SONG...
*WHAT WAS STAY BEAUTIFUL?*
Launched in 2001, Stay Beautiful was a monthly drunken glam-electro-alternative party for flamboyant freaks and beautiful dance whores, which happened on the first Saturday of every month in Camden Town at the Purple Turtle, 61-65 Crowndale Rd, London NW1 1TN. Co-run by resident DJs SIMON PRICE (Independent On Sunday, Manics biographer) and TONY MAGGS (Rockabaret), with co-DJs DAVID RYDER PRANGLEY and CHERRY FOXXX, Stay Beautiful became a legendary clubland institution, an unmissable fixture of London's alternative nightlife for over eight years.
*LIVE BANDS, STAR DJs...*
Every month we had a live band (examples: Nicky Wire, Justin Hawkins, Scarling, Pink Grease, Towers Of London, The Pipettes, Ipso Facto, Johnny Boy), and most months we had a guest DJ (examples: Peaches, Gerard Way of MCR, Sylvain Sylvain of New York Dolls, Dave Ball of Soft Cell, Go Home Productions, and all four members of Ladytron). We also had regular prize giveaways, and, as aficionados of messy vodka-guzzling will be aware, a notoriously messy thing called the Watering Can Song...
Future dates are: SAT 1st AUGUST only. Normal admission is £7 standard, or £5 all night with flyer (printable version here: www.staybeautifulclub.co.uk/eflyer.htm), NUS, DSS or Stay Beautiful badge, or just £4 for everyone before 10.00pm
