Make Up
Big, bold and beautifying Cherrie and Suzette bring you all new improved make over madness. Their home blended “Lavatoire de Swank” range is wheeled directly to the public on their fabulously pink, cheesy music playing mobile make up trolley. From terrible tanning to full farcical facials these cosmetic clowns cater for all beauty buffoonery. No place too big, no face too small.

Be guided by “Val Keen” and “Babs Eager” as they lead the general public into riotous pack participation. Come and join these good time guides in their monstrously merry movement “Ging gang goolying”, or simply “Doing my Best”, everyone is a badge winner.
Joyous Jamboree
Two become four as Val and Babs are joined by “Wendy Willing” and “Mable Able”. Joyous Jamboree is a fully interactive Swank Camp installation, complete with bivouacs, flagpoles and of course the camp fire for good old sing songs. Join the pack in their natural habitat, learn skills you never knew you needed- play silly games and win an exciting range of new badges. Come to the Joyous Jamboree it’s jolly good fun!
Damsels In Distress
From the dark days of yore come Lady Lust-a-Lot and Lady Longing-for-Love. Borne on the backs of Eric and Ernie their delightfully drippy dragons, these merry making medieval babes bring sunshine to every event. Suitable for all ages and any environment, the dynamic dragon-riding damsels are on a constant futile crusade to find their knight in shining armour. Whether jousting or joking, Lady Lust-a-Lot and Lady-Longing-for-Love have vowed to fight the forces of boredom. Let the challenge begin...
Star Fish Wives
Shirley Sea Bassey and her deep sea diva friend, Tina Tuna, with the Tiger Prawn Baby are coming to a Prom near you. Swank gets fishy with this new nautical show specially designed for 2005 Year Of The Sea. Shirley and Tina lipsynch and dance their way through a mad medley of much loved hits. The vivaciously visual and fantastically funny Star Fish Wives are coming into port near you. Sailors Beware!
