BRONZE!

A full update of eurovision will happen on Les Mysteres soon, but I need to wake up a little first. Yesterday was very, very intense. We got third place after a very exciting final!

Something we were hoping for, but didn't expect since we were the only group without a large fanbase in the audience, one of the only ones without a drag queen (or two, or three... I tell you, if I ever see fake boobs again it'll be too early!) and without a winning or well known song. Three things that seem crucial when you want to win by public vote.
The jury in the afternoon show only gave us 7th place, which isn't bad in se but we were a bit disappointed that other acts, that had hardly come to rehearsals and that seemed to act only on the merit of costumes, fake boobs and glitter, had a better result than us. Not everyone has the money or the energy to buy expensive glitteroutfits and hog the mirrors in the make up room for three hours. Of course the jury doesn't know this, and their choices were very diverse. One even gave us 12 points!
So when we got third place in the evening show, voted there by people who didn't know us, and all the other contestants seemed to agree we belonged there, we didn't quite know what to do with our happiness. Did we see tears in Le Feux' eyes?
We'll be back next time!
But with an act that doesn't require a leather sofa!!
