The Weird Girls Project is a conceptual project created and headed by Kitty Von-Sometime.

The girls do not know the concept, the location or the costumes until they show up on the day.

Each episode is planned three months in advance with the girls knowing almost nothing except there will be a photo shoot, are aware they will be filmed and know the date.

The rest is kept as quiet as possible except for a theme song which is given to them a week or two in advance and a request for measurements for the custom costumes.

It evolves episode by episode and the Weird Girls mix between those involved from the beginning and the new members increasing with every event.

Each episode produces media but the project focus is the event itself and how the girls react and morph within costume. The women are from all walks of life and are not trained nor is anything rehearsed.

Part of the inspiration is to get girls to step outside of themselves and gain confidence and to watch the reaction to the unknown.

Check out all of The Weird Girls videos  (they have impeccable musical taste if nothing else) and Kitty von Sometime's other work and you will quickly realise why they have volcanoes in Iceland - this is a deeply weird as anything Bjork has ever done!!! (There is a great Kitty Vid to Ghostigital's In Cod We Trust whose music is a strange as anything ever produced).
