*HELLO, HELLO, IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!*
Finished mourning the death of SB yet? Good. Because we’ve got some
fantastic news for all of you who have been craving a fix of
glittered-up drunken rock‘n‘roll action. Stay Beautiful is coming back
to the Purple Turtle on
FRIDAY 23rd APRIL for a one-off
NINE YEAR REUNION PARTY!
Mark it in your diary now, spread the word to all your friends, and
start planning your most dazzling outfit for the occasion. We can’t
wait to see you all again!
*HERE WE ARE NOW, ENTERTAINERS…*
As well as a live band - to be confirmed very soon - there will of
course be six hours’ worth of killer tunes from Stay Beautiful’s
regular DJs,
CHERRY FOXXX,
SIMON PRICE and
DAVID RYDER PRANGLEY. (Tony Maggs is unfortunately detained on the other side of the planet, but he’ll be with us in spirit.) And you
know you can rely on us to rock the partay.
*CHEAP BOOZE, FREE BOOZE!*
Drinks at the Purple Turtle are, you'll be glad to hear, served at
pretty reasonable, pubby prices anyway (certainly compared to one or
two of our previous homes). And, to set you on your way towards
alcoholic oblivion, we have an amazing
HAPPY HOUR from
9pm-10pm! The frankly irresistible deal is
2-FOR-1 on Fosters, Strongbow, Bells/Gordons/Bacardi Oro/house vodka (with mixer), and pitchers of Jesus Juice. What's
JESUS JUICE,
we hear you ask? Named, of course, after one of the more controversial
rumours about the deceased King Of Pop, it's a cocktail served
exclusively at Stay Beautiful - a delicious and potentially
head-fvcking blend of vodka, Archers, cranberry, lemonade and fresh
lime - at
£8.50 per pitcher ALL NIGHT (a wide variety of other
cocktails will be served at a tenner per pitcher). Furthermore, as
aficionados of messy vodka-guzzling will be aware, Stay Beautiful has a
somewhat notorious tradition called the
WATERING CAN SONG...
…and from now until the end of time, there will be one and only one Watering Can Song. It’s the unofficial Stay Beautiful national anthem, “SEX DWARF” by SOFT CELL. The ever-changing Watering Can Song in ye olden days just seemed to confuse people, and “Sex Dwarf” is the song that gave us our slogan “luring disco dollies to a life of vice”, so we’ve smashed the proverbial Hiroshima watch at that exact moment, as it were, and it’ll never change. So, whenever you hear Dave Ball’s sleazy synths and Marc Almond’s perved-up vocals, you know it's time to get wet!
*ADMISSION NOW A QUID CHEAPER!*
In recognition of the recession and everyone‘s general skintness, we’re
lowering our standard admission by a quid. So, prices are now as
follows. Standard price is
£6
(i.e. if you can‘t even be bothered to print out a flyer, bring some
sort of concessionary ID, or wear an SB badge). However, if you come
with a flyer (printable version: http://www.staybeautifulclub.co.uk/eflyer.jpg ), NUS/DSS card or a Stay Beautiful badge, it's just
£5 ALL NIGHT! And for very early birds, regardless of flyers etc, it's just
£4 BEFORE 10.00pm!
*WHERE IT'S AT*
Stay Beautiful's home is the
PURPLE TURTLE ( http://www.purpleturtlebar.com ), 61-65 Crowndale Rd NW1 (for directions and transport information, see our 'Info' page: http://www.staybeautifulclub.co.uk/info.htm ), just 1 minute's walk from Mornington Crescent tube (and about 5 minutes from Camden Town.
*OPENING HOURS AND AGE POLICY*

3.00am. Please note that The Purple Turtle is an over-18s venue and

*WHAT IS STAY BEAUTIFUL?*
Stay Beautiful, a nocturnal refuge for flamboyant freaks and glittery
exhibitionists, has been proudly luring disco dollies to a life of vice
since 2001. The current DJ team consists of Manics biographer Simon
Price, his glamorous grrl sidekick Cherry Foxxx, Rachel Stamp’s David
Ryder Prangley and, when he’s not on the other side of the globe, the
club’s Shady Mr Big, Tony Maggs, with regular live bands and guest DJs.

Duran Duran, Goldfrapp, Hole, Iggy Pop, Jack Off Jill, Kenickie, Kylie,
Lady Gaga, Ladytron, Le Tigre, Manics, Marilyn Manson, New York Dolls,
Peaches, Placebo, Prince, Rachel Stamp. Siouxsie, Suede, T. Rex,
Patrick Wolf… you get the idea. And if you need a refresher, have a
listen to our
