Hi guys,

so next month is the famous Geneva escalade: historical event where the geneva population fought off Savoyard invadors in their PJs as they were attacked in the middle of the night of the 11th of december 1602.

Derived from it is now a pretty famous run, the escalade run. It has kids of all ages running in the morning, adults and professionals in the afternoon. It all finishes (and THIS is why I'm creating the event) with a big popular family run: the Marmite.

The tradition of the marmite is to "run/walk" through Geneva dressed up in wild costumes. There are many people cheering and it is quite fun.
My idea is to participate and create the biggest possible group of people dressed as CONCHITA WURST!

Simply because it would be fun, memorable and because beards are amazing!

If you'd like to join, please rspv to the event and message me if you have any questions or suggestions!
The requirements are:
-long hair (real or not)
-beard (real or not: you can buy "crêpé de laine" at la Gaité, glue on, very realistic),
-make up and evening dresses!

Official sign up on www.escalade.ch, deadlines are till 9th of November.
Of course, it is very casual and if you just feel like joining on that day, don't hesitate and let's try to reassemble as many conchitas as we can :D

Hope to see many people there!
Cheers,
Lena
