About me:
UNSKINNY BOP

"all the songs sound like Hey Mickey, but they won't actually play Hey Mickey!" (frustrated guest in the ladies toilets at Unskinny Bop, May 06)

We are a monthly disco happening in London, England at the Star of Bethnal Green (the venue formerly known as The Pleasure Unit) 359 Bethnal Green Road, E2 6LG. Next Bop is Saturday 19th July and on the third Saturday of the month thereafter.

Thank God. I missed her visit to Croydon last year (really, she attended some family function of her bloke's at a dodgy nightclub down the road from me) and I have never forgiven myself for missing the chance to humiliate myself (again).

WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT VERA CHYTILOVA'S 1966 FEATURE FILM 'DAISIES' (88 mins, Czech)

IN THE CELLAR OF BAR PRAGUE, KINGSLAND RD, E2 at 19.30 on Tuesday 26th Feb 08

Admission 3 Quid.

This event is a benefit event to raise money for the LADYFEST LONDON FILMS programme, coming 9-11 May to the Islington Arts Factory.


www.ladyfestlondon.co.uk www.myspace/ladyfestlondon


'A freewheeling, madcap feminist farce which wasimmediately banned by the government.'


Two girls named Marie see the world around them as being inhabited by a spoiled society. The Maries decide they should be given such allowances and embark on a rebellious streak of what seem to be harmless pranks. However, each of the moves is loaded with consequences that soon snowball into serious trouble.This freewheeling 1966 gem of the Czech New Wave is an attack on consumerism and materialism as well as many other aspects the male dominated society of the time. Director Vera Chytilova weaves togetherthis absurdist allegorical work by avoiding a common narrative structure. Instead DAISIES fills the screen with surreal comedy and unforgettable images of ranging misguided youthful protest to seriouspolitical commentary.
