Help me Out – The Stig or David Bowie?

4 September 2011 By Alan Straton

For Casual Day, a call was made to donate R10 and dress up as your favourite rockstar which the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber and Boomtown Strategic Brand Agency did just that.

Over R400 was donated from Boomtown to support people with disabilities. As creative types Boomtown say that they are always happy to support the cause and love dressing up!

Editors Notes: Am I missing something here – is that The Stig or Major Tom in the image below?
Send your Casual Day images to MyPE here.

Boomtown had many rock stars present from Elvis to Britney Spears and everyone in between including Led Zeppelin, Diana Ross, Amy Winehouse and Kahn from the Parlotones.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
