Smallfry Showmanship at CIFFKids SS12

I've just had a revelation. Have just returned from the CIFFKids Trendshow at Bella Center and have to say I am impressed. Truly impressed. The CIFFKids show should be compulsive viewing for all, with its perfect balance of showmanship, creativity and styling. The kids really look like they enjoyed themselves – well, all but one rugrat who clearly did not appreciate the melodic tones of Agnes Obel – the styling was fun and functional, and the well-choreographed Boyband tribute brought the house down. Pivot, the company behind the show, are really are passionate about what they do and it shows. The audience whooped along to the energetic and entertaining show, and even my bench-mate Monsieur Rene Dif of Aqua-fame dropped his watery guard for a second was spotted bobbing along to the soundtrack, as was celebrity songstrel Szhirley and her very edible baby Elton and the lovely Lina "from Paris to Berlin" who was looking tight.
