Description:
The great thing about Fringe Festival is that it allows people to be ‘themselves'. No matter how surreal ‘themselves' might be. What's that? You're a ‘horror clown' with 'glowing thumbs, satanic possessed lantern, vampiric tendencies' and a powerful lust for 'strip tease acrobatics'? Right this way Mr Vladimir The Crow, the audience is waiting.

Have you been to a party lately and noticed how many people dress ostensibly different but actually look the same? The Kuronoz clones are like an inverse formula of that.

Just being a bitch will get you somewhere. Maybe even into Silk Road! But being a hot bitch will get you into a pair of leggings, and that's where the eighties live. Inside a pair of sweaty, airless lycra stockings molded around a pair of thighs, under a high-waisted costume g-string, attached to a pair of feet, skating around serving drinks to Sonny Malone.

Description:
When I was young I scored Wizz Fizz from Milk Bars and downed four Warheads at one time. And although I still Wiz Fizz and Warhead regularly, in comparison, life is a pooper.
