Bestival blog: No, we haven't come as bloody Smurfs...

OK, so Guardian/Music didn't have much time to prepare for our 30,000 Freaks Under the Sea-themed fancy dress costume. But come on, is it that hard to tell what we've come as?

Er, apparently it is.

"Smurfs?!" "Fisherman?" "Smurfs?!" "Fisherman with funny hats?" "The Blue Man Group?" "Smurfs?!"

No, no and NO NOT SMURFS. Bonus points for the first person that can guess what this hastily put-together costume actually is.

The warm glow of heartfelt admiration to anyone who, without Googling, can tell us the correct colour-scheme of Peyo's little munchkins. (Cos shamefully, we can't remember.)
