Fairmount Girls Fashion Trashies

2009-11-18T10:04:00.001-08:00

In typical Fairmount tradition we crammed the FG Trashie award crafting between an 18 hour recording session and the CEA awards later this this week. all the FG's were in attendance and did their part in the award building. First thing Randy did was "gut" his doll and insert a bunch of batteries . said he "wanted the doll to corrode from the inside out" . but then his better judgement took over and he decided it could cause a freak fire and the batteries would be cumbersome in her cavity . so plan B for the "Ga Ga" award. David Garza stopped by and proceded to burn the eyes out of his "Hot mess" award . but she ended up looking way cooler and almost "blade runner-esque" . Melissa and I both did our usuals . I always handle the "jackie Ono" and Melissa does the "get lucky girl" but , we both had to tackle new ones cause Beth always did the "queen for a day" and "best hair" . they look pretty fab considering our artistically challenged ways.[Melissa got a D in art] .
The boys picked up the slack for sure . Steve did an excellent job on the vest and beard of "dapper dandy" and Pat does a new box design every year .
Stay tuned for our report on the red carpet . Lots of fun and surprise guest performances this year . I heard rumor that Uncle 1000 may perform and I am too excited for words !!
the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards are Sunday Nov. 22 . Red Carpet at 6pm. show at 7pm.
This year they are at the Madison Theatre in Covington, KY . The after party is at the Mad Hatter, where we'll be presenting the Fairmount Girls Fashion Trashies 2009 !! So, Dress Up, Be festive, celebrate the scene , don't be a hater and support your local music !!!!
Love,
the FG 's

2008 Trashie Awards

2008-11-24T08:00:00.000-08:00

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

2 More Days

2008-11-21T09:06:00.000-08:00

only 2 days left to iron those frocks

The Economy and dressing Fab on a shrinking dime

2008-11-20T09:33:00.000-08:00

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

Past Trashie Awards

2008-11-06T08:01:00.000-08:00

This is our 6th year presenting the awards and our 3rd year on the red carpet . A few changes....
This year the CEA awards are taking place at the newly re-vamped Emery Theatre . Truly a gem , I used to go there for horror movies and the ultimate pipe organ that was played for intermissions.
It's very exciting that the Emery is renovated and restored . Cincinnati used to house small theatres in every neighborhood , but they tend to tear them down or rent them out to scum lords before they tear them down. Congrats for saving the Emery !! The FG's and their discriminating eyes will await your arrival on the red carpet . We may take your picture and slip you a card alerting you that "you have been "trashed" . If so, you are in the running for a Trashie award ! Good or Bad......it's always an honor .
This year we are feeling "Sour Pat" extra bitter . So, advance warning to dress Over-the-TOP and be festive.......cause nobody want to get the "should have stayed home" . ouch !

Here is a list of prior awards . we will be announcing the 2008 categories very soon .
the jackie ono, dapper dandy, tea with grandma, bling bling, best cleavage, golden boy, best couple, best dressed band, most likely to strap on, best rock hair, get lucky girl , queen for a day, best headgear, most festive, and should have stayed home . We also give away a lifetime achievemnet award every year . Prior Qualified Rocker winners have been Shaun Norton, McCabe McLoud, Dave Davis, and the Wolverton Brothers !!

Cea Awards Sunday November 23rd.

2008-11-05T13:11:00.000-08:00

Fairmount Girls are an established independent rock band from Cincinnati Ohio . We specialize in smooth fucking harmonies so thick you can't tell who's singing which parts . We throw in transistor radio noise, trumpet, the coolest chick on a 1967 "sport" Farfisa organ that sounds like swirling dervish , 2 bookend boy guitar players who play vintage guitars through tiny vox amps and an all girl rhythm section .
This is the 6th annual Fairmount Girls Fashion TRASHIES !!!
We are self appointed and take this far too seriously . So Look out ! It's Silly fun!
