Weird title, but probably made you think Huh?. Well, nearly three weeks ago, Damon announced that his birthday bash would be held tomorrow at Carwash at The Aquarium nightclub in London. After much discussion, I decided to start frantically buying authentic 70’s clothes on eBay as they have a strict-ish dress code and would also stop shaving in an effort to grow massive side-burns and a long 1970’s style moustache.

So, onto the title of this entry - Itchy? You betcha! It is driving me absolutely crazy. I cannot wait until Saturday lunch time when I grab my uber-sensitive skin forumula can of King Of Shaves and my Gillette razor and get too work on sculpting a masterpiece of facial hair.

On the subject of clothes, I got myself a loud polyester disco shirt and a brown leather blazer/jacket on eBay. Both are about 30 years old and in excellent condition. I was originally thinking about getting a pimp outfit exactly like this one:

but decided against it as they don’t have pockets and didn’t want to rely on drunken people to carry my money around a busy nightclub. Also thought I might look a bit of a twat as well.

I also got a pair of flared cord trousers on eBay, but they were a very slim fit. Not just a normal slim fit, but so bad that I couldn’t sit down without the popper on the waist coming undone. They also showed off my packet at anyone who was looking in that direction. It’s a shame as they were VERY cool and effectively brand new with tags despite being 30 years old. (Dead stock from a dept store on Devon!). I resold them on eBay yesterday with a starting price to cover all my costs and a Buy It Now option to give me some profit if someone was feelign generous. They must have been as they were sold within 25 minutes of being listed. Anyhow, in their place I will be wearing my stone coloured bedford cord boot cut jeans. They aren’t denim so I should be fine wearing them. I may even put a crease in the front of them just for Saturday.

Obviously, pics will be posted here shortly.
