Fattylympics after party!

Details have just been announced for Unskinny Bop's Prom, which also happens on 7 July, just after the Fattylympics, and will be a fantastic after party for anyone with energy to burn after rolling, twirling, spitting and the like.

Fattylympians can snag super-cheap £5 tickets on the night or in advance but you will need to give a magic password to Tim at the door (which is not 'fattylympics' ha ha) and you can only get the password if you come to the Fattylympics.

Reflecting on the Fattylympics Anthem

I'm so excited by the Anthem, I wrote a little post for Obesity Timebomb where I think about it a bit more.

Fattylympics Events: Twirling

This is what we'll be doing on the day.

Twirling
Proposed by Cheap and Porky

Cheap and Porky will perform a choreographed ribbon gymnastic routine to a piece of music lasting three minutes and four seconds for the delight of the Fattylympics attendees.

After this, the pair will open the floor to some freestyle ribbon action for all to enjoy.

Cheap and Porky will provide ribbons for those inspired to join in. Should you wish to start practicing throwing your own shapes, the freestyle music will be 'Loving You’s a Dirty Job’ performed by Bonnie Tyler and Todd Rundgren, weighing in at a hefty seven minutes, forty-sex seconds.
