Considering the team is called The Wrong Bros, what could possibly go wrong 48 hours before launch?

  • The pilot being admitted to hospital? 
  • The transport company realising that the lorry they have (the biggest one you can drive on UK roads wiithout a police escort) is too small?
  • The gold bikinis that you had to get from the states getting stuck in Wales?
  • The girls that you have to go in the bikinis getting hit by a mystery bug & dropping out like flies?
  • The Princess Leia slave girl outfit which was beautifully made by Max at www.maxkane.net being left on a bus & taking a trip to Ponders End...by itself..
  • Realising that maybe wheels would be a good idea....

Surely not?

Good job there is always a plan B....ermmmm....

Anyone got a spare pilot/crane/gold bikinis/girls to go in gold bikinis/a map to Ponders End/any wheels?....

So what do you need to give a blinding performance at RED BULL FLUGTAG 2008?...

Star Wars Theme - CHECK

Fully Working Light Sabres  CHECK (though the team leader's one is a bit bent)

12 girls dressed in gold bikinis like Princess Leia in Return of The Jedi - Erm...Not so check...

Having trawled the land (aka Facebook) to find 12 beautiful (lets face it, who wants to see a Jade Goody lookalike in a bikini), brave (would you wear a bikini in June in London?!) and generally up for it (interpret that any way you like!) ladies, I can safely say that organising the 2012 olympics would've been a helluva lot easier.

So why 12 girls? No idea. Why the bikini? HAVE YOU SEEN IT?! Plus we might as well milk the theme for all it's worth.

Slight issue in that NOONE sells it, despite there being an entire website www.leiasmetalbikini.com dedicated to it. 

So with a bit of begging, natural charm & the help of the ever lovely Scarlett L'amour we have 12 'normal' looking gold bikinis coming from the states (yes, I know we are creating a chewbacca sized carbon footprint, but if you can find gold bikinis in this country then you deserve a medal).

 

However, our beloved *insert sound of vomiting here* team leader/slave driver/alcoholic-in-training/sleazebag/ham solo has his heart set on the original outfit (with me in it-gulp).

And with just 12 days to go, not only is the plane in two bits (don't ask...at least they've chiselled it off the floor they glued it to first...oh yes..they did this) I have to find someone to make a replica outfit.....CAN ANY ONE KNIT?!......

Why would you want to look at a big polystyrene plane when the Wrong Brothers team are so damned good at throwing press do's instead?!?

 

In honour of our latest TV coverage we hosted an exclusive photo shoot in the heart of the Clerkenwell Deathstar, everyone who’s anyone was there, the Jedi Council, Solo, Chewbacca, Leia, even that ponce Fett turned up and tried to blast everything in sight!

 

oh... and of course the Imperial dance troop....

Wrong Bros. Team spotted in Mos Eisley Cantina

...In LA Galaxy, far, far away, Becks was trying to get the Dark Side (Americans) to adopt a whole new ball game. Back in the tiny, inhospitable urban jungle of the Clerkenwell System, a rebel alliance was forming with a far greater challenge to face. This alliance comprised a bunch of heavy drinking, irresponsible shirkers who frequented one of the most dangerous parts of the Moss Smithfield Space Port – The Death Bar. And it was usually not-so-happy hour.

            

Young rebel Blue Skytalker (he talked an awful lot of marketing crap!) was attempting to convince smuggler Ham Solo – a terrible actor who couldn’t get a girlfriend – to lend the alliance his decrepit old banger of a spaceship, the Millexenium Falcon. Blue needed a vessel for the ultimate intergalactic showdown – the Red Bull Flugtag in Hyde Park. But first he had to convince Ham and his sidekick Chewbaccie (a weird cross-breed creature that was half Red Neck and half 1970’s ventriloquist bear puppet) to give up their beloved heap of junk.

                   

 

Having explained that the beautiful Princess Layher had said she would do just about anything (and anyone) if she could win the Flugtag, Ham and Chewie soon agreed to the request and even offered their own services to the rebel alliance. Blue, however, knew that, even with the Falcon he would need an ace pilot to win the ultimate prize. Unfortunately, the search would not be easy. Unlike the Princess…
