FREE PUSSY RIOT!

Last bank Holiday, Alison and I went to be part of a flash mob. The mob was a lot smaller than first anticipated, but it was to show solidarity for Pussy Riot. It involved a bunch of us donning balaclava's and jumping in on Manchester's Gay Pride parade.

It felt really good to shout to the crowds FREE PUSSY RIOT! And for those crafty types amongst you, I made my balaclava using an old t-shirt. I cut the bottom half off (from under the arms). gathered in the top and stitched together. Put a 4" dart either side (on the side seam). Put on my face inside out and marked a place for eye and mouth holes. Cut them the right way out. Put it on and screamed FREE PUSSY RIOT!
