| Tomorrow (Sep. 7, 2006), the Frou Frou website (www.froufrou.net) will no longer be around. It saddens me greatly, and I know a good number of you guys started out there too. So... here's to good times and FrouFrou.net will always be in our hearts. |

*hears funeral dirge*
Very sad indeed. Requiescat in pace.
Frouble love will live on forever!
Here's to cake and retarded monkeys and two or three (at least) as-yet-undelivered Vespas and ... well, you get the picture. |

I'm guessing you mean this:
"By her petticoat the woman troubles the man's soul.
For surely the woman entices above all, with her gentle frou-frou.
It's her petticoat's frou-frou that makes her so exciting!
He sees at once the life in pink, gets electrified, he becomes crazy!"
(froufrou.net was still up as of a moment ago) |

With great sadness we say goodbye to Frou Frou.
I can remember the first time I hear dof them - I saw a poster in my student union for the photography contest. I ripped it off in a drunken state and entered that night as the closing date was a few days later.
I came second Immi and Guy loved my photos but Island (the rubbish record lable) didn't agree with them. And picked someone else....who this is I have never known.
But I got a free copy of the CD fell in love with it and Imogen after I realised it was the same person who released IMegaphone a few years before and the rest they say is history!
The website and the band (as one can only assume there won't be other album, as much as they may hint) will be missed.
Booooo! A sad day indeed! |

| There will be something kept up at ff.net, however the current site is still hosted by Island records and they are no longer prepared to host it seeing as the band haven't been signed to the label since 2002! |

Please James...
I don't know if it's up to you or not..
Just keep a page or something with links and stuff like that.
If you close everything it will kill all the links to the FF board too.
You would say:"that place is already dead", yeah maybe... but it stores years of great stories, moments, experiences, and many other great things (like my so far record of posts in a board (just kidding!)).
Actually a little piece of my life is there, im serious..
Let's keep a low light turned on there. |
