Monmouth, Wales May 23rd, Ricky Hatton May 24th

Back on the road, I think I dream about travelling. Myself and Denim headed south this time back to Wales, we had a laugh en route filming for the show video and generally being stupid. I love Wales, the people are always really friendly there so we got into the spirit by dancing along to welsh songs on BBC Wales. When we reached the venue to say we felt out of place would be an understatement, for a start it was still daylight because we had to go on stage by 7.30 which is bizarrely early for us for a start a burlesque show but also it was an all ages gig in a community centre. We pulled up with a car full of frilly knickers and booze to a sign announcing a cabaret show, some kids climbing trees and some grannies in walking jackets strolling the grounds. oh dear, if you dont laugh you cry so we sat in the car discussing worse case scenarios and imagining a room full of offended grannies. There was now a group of kids drinking and smoking in the field outside and we decided these must be our crowd, ah well!! The very friendly staff showed us to our dressing room that looked a bit like a church room where we changed into our show outfits and promptly went downstairs to do our first set of 10 mins which was really surreal because it felt as if we were on our own in the hall as everyone hid along the walls and watched from a safe distance. They filmed the event i think so if i can get a copy il post some of it up. The night got busier and we did two more sets with everyone becoming more confident and coming closer. It ended up a nice change and alot of fun and to make it even better we had finished and been paid by 10.30pm. All the teenage girls loved it and surrounded us saying how lucky we were, talented and skinny etc bless they really were impressed and looked up to us i think, i hope we havent scarred them for life haha. The kids loved it and the dads definatley loved it, we well made there day, they were all there filming it on their phones. We stuck around to watch the band Thyrd Eye before heading back home for a couple of beers and a pizza.
Saturday I woke up tired but excited, again more partying to be done!! Fight time with Ricky Hatton. We headed to the Manchester City Stadium in the afternoon and had a good day drinking in the sun waiting for the fight. Luckily we had wristbands that allowed us to go almost anywhere ( not back stage or anything i dont think-we were very behaved and didnt try).
They did allow us into the ringside area but as we didnt have seats we ended up on the floor but with a perfect view, Mike Tyson was there, I was well impressed although others were more blown away by Callum Best?! whatever floats your boat I suppose. The fight was wicked and of course Ricky won!!woo!! We headed out of the stadium and off to Rock Kitchen to dance the night away..
