2008 Trashie Awards









super fun !!!








super fun !! Melissa and I did our usual pre-carpet drink at the Omni [margarita and a cosmopolitan ] . It's an FG tradition since back in the "Marnie" days . In typical fg style we cut the deadline close and scooted onto the red carpet at the last second . No directors chairs this year. Wa-Wah . But it was toasty warm with the propane hobo heaters fired up and I had a fabulous long "bob barker" mic [thanks Steve] which more than made up for the chairs . Dylan [who was responsible for the missing seats , graciously apologized and defended himself by saying "I would have gotten them but I was swamped with other duties since Dan decided to have the CEAs at a haunted house. "] The Emery was cozy and smelled like a carnival . hot waffles in the house . It was quite an undertaking to pull off an awards production in an ancient theatre with no electricity and no plumbing !! Congrat to Citybeat and Dan McCabe for having the grass roots approach and tenacity to pull it off and make it festive !!! Hopefully the ceas created awareness that we NEED a theatre with the size and history of the Emery ! I would love to go take a tour of it empty to really get the vibe of the place . I wonder if it IS haunted ? The CEAs are always one of THE most fun nights of the year and this year was no exception . It's a celebration of this town and OUR music scene bringing together diverse genres and unifying our music traditions and our future.
the Fairmount Girls are proud to be included and in our own small way we like to think we add to the festivities and the local music scene .
love,
the fg's

The Economy and dressing Fab on a shrinking dime


It's almost Trashie time and The Fairmount Girls are ready to trash ! We hope everyone joins in on the festivities and rocks the red carpet this sunday . Fg's will be waiting your big entrance like Norma Desmond . We know that times are tough and not everyone can throw the big bucks towards a personal stylist and designer frocks . We're right with you . Due to the state of the economy and general inclination towards wastefulness and over-spending , the Fairmount Girls are committed to digging deep in our ouwn closets for some forgotten gems ! Thrift stores and vintage shops are also an alternative to big budget chian stores . Did you know casablanca vintage will rent you a gown or a tux for the evening ? Or try raiding your best friend's closet . Remember there's no excuse for Not looking fabulous . Don't throw money at it . See how creative your lack of dollars can push you to dress .
love,
fairmount girls
