The Primark Party

Primark is store in the UK which is the manifestation of 'fast fashion'. Clothing sold at prices that are too cheap for you to care if a garment is ruined. Just go and buy a new one! A terrible, terrible attitude to endorse, especially with their questionable labour sources.....Something that the head honchos are working on. Still I'm not complaining about the several £1 stockings I own. *guilty face* It is easy to follow the latest trends (no matter how ugly) and get your basics (though they sometimes don't survive the first wash) all in the one store. There are often a few gem pieces which get several wears and even compliments from those unknowing of the origins.

A Primark party was planned as a hoot. We were all assigned a fellow member to dress for a budget of £20. Easily do-able! You can look quite decent in a full outfit from Primmy but everyone seemed to take this as an opportunity to dress their victim in the worst way possible. Luckily for Kahoons I did my shopping early and decided that he should look normal. I did not fare as well and I was given a playsuit that I would not be caught dead in otherwise.

All the boys in their outfits were scared they would get bashed and refused to get on the tube to get to the pub we were bravely stepping in. While individually we did look ridiculous, as a group it was pretty obvious that we were all dressed like that as a joke. Other people in the pub complimented our idea!

The party ended in a less than charming manner - the men ripping the clothes off each other. No photos will be posted. It deserves to not be documented.
