Bonjour

[xp_bevatron]

It is time for one of my annual posting traditions.

Today is the Eurovision grand final, and as always, my cousin and I will be hosting a watching in the common room with snacks and beverages (adult varieties of both subject to your discretion).

If you are joining us for the first time, please bear in mind that the answer to any question you might ask is always "because it is Eurovision".

As an example, "why is there an upholstered red velvet mechanical bull on stage?" "because it is Eurovision"

As always, please don your best Eurovision outfit, which can be anything from an entire denim ballgown to a monster suit to glitter covered hip waders and a polka dot crop top.

If you are bringing a musical instrument as a prop, they should be as ridiculously decorated as possible.

Doing my best Dorothy impression today.

Ski goggles, rubber arm gloves, and LED escrima sticks in the opening sequence.

I like Moldovia's suits

It's always so bad, yet somehow, I can't look away.

[xp_bevatron]

That is the point of Eurovision! Glitter paint, leather pants, enough strobing and pyrotechnics to bankrupt a small city...and for some reason this year raincoats.

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THIS TELEVISION.

IS THAT BRETON?

And after Portugal's very understated standing in a circle singing to each other, and Switzerland's sad boy song, now we are back to Eurovision with fire pits and LED lighting.

What

[xp_bevatron]

Someone Give That Wolf A Banana is likely to be the one people remember.

[xp_bevatron]

Moldova's song was pretty great as well.

Well hello, Alessandro, how are you today. That green screen suit did not hide anything.

[xp_daytripper]

And well deserved. Those masks were brilliant.

The Aussie bloke (why is Australia in Eurovision? Because it's Eurovision!) was pretty epic. Just want to hug that baby queer boy and tell him he's lovely.

What is the man listing off celebrities on because I want some.
