Miss-Shapes Xmas Party Tonight!

Tonight it's the Miss-shapes Xmas Party at Ghetto from 10.30pm! Due to
some stuff, Sandra and us are swapping set times for one night only, so
we are doing the main set, which equates to more dancing and drinking
after 1.30! Hooray.



Come
though, it will be great, and our grotto is going to be fantastic as
we've got things like signed and unreleased Ladytron stuff, loads of
vinyl & t-shirts to give away, amongst some silly stuff!
