Whats a Girl To Do? 'The king of the dancing tents' tent is in town!
After not having a reason to slip into anything other than a rubber splattered boiler suit for more than 2 weeks now along come not one... not two ...BUT THREE reasons to bring out some fancy headwear all in one weekend.
sunday 5th june
"From 12 noon - 6.30pm in Spiegel Garden (free) - demonstrations, performances and try-out sessions in Can Can, Hoola Hoop, Burlesque dance, Tribal Belly Dance and more... Plus Vintage Fair with fashion, hair and make-up stalls.
In the Spiegeltent - workshops in Cabaret Arts. From 3pm Burlesque Show featuring tantalising tasters from Poppy Von Tarte, Betty Bruiser, Geisha Go Disco and Tuesday LeVeau"
All held IN and around...a venue of faerie tale fantasy...
After researching these magical,pop-up masterpieces i am DESPERATE to get inside one.
From a humble beginning as a village fayre dance venue, crafted by Belgian carpenter, William Klessens in the 1920s,the now world famous Spiegel Tents have spent nearing a decadent century touring the globe, wowing guests with their
wooden floors, beautifully crafted leaded glass windows and opulent velvet ceilings.
ALSO on saturday 4th June, at the faerie light strewn, QUEEN OF HOXTON ROOF GARDEN, LONDON(complete with Rum Shack and water feature!!) Boutique Promotions are holding a Vintage Arts and Craft Fair.

Both poi-fect card touting opportunities.
Sadly this particular weekend i am otherwise engaged, so the usherette tray will not be getting an airing.
BRONTE HANDS and HIROSHI are in town and on a lovely street in darling wALTHAMSTOW there will a serious amount of sea food. Its an annual thing...with a nautical theme...you CAN'T MISS IT!

There was not a boiler suit.....or nipple tassle, in sight last thursday when BORtUsk LeeR finally unveiled his latest creations.
"Like a nifty neon needle of street monster smack straight in the retinas"
Josh Denton
Step into Tony's Gallery tonight and you'd be forgiven for thinking Mr Leer may have slipped on his nu-rave Bible with a fluoro machine gun in his hand. Feeling blue post-bank holiday double whammy? Bortusk and his monsters are the perfect antidote - swap your blues for pinks, purples and blinding yellows. You may have seen his tutti-frutti goggle eyed friends lurking down backalleys and tormenting fashionistas all over Shoreditch. Like Superhanz in a tophat, this cockney pied piper has rounded up his day-glo tribe and packed them into Tony's to celebrate this new gallery's opening. Expect unashamed cheeriness and high jinx. Bortusk goes nowhere without his spanking cane, 'muck cake' brandishing assistants and the promise of mischief.

downstairs dArLing...it was ALL about the heated curlers
Ladies of the Pop Up Parlour, you stole the show. x
From 'just about coffee time' till half past afternoon tea' a steady stream of vintage devotees were curled, poufed and pinned to perfection.
EMMA of Oscar and Rose photography collected the photographic evidence against her floral backdrop, complete with 3 flying ducks!

| kaitlin and emma sipping tea from a mrs stokes cup and saucer, was good ladylike fun. After spending my working week in dirty jeans or a boiler suit and swigging brew from a chipped mug with 'i'm a twat' stamped on the bottom that felt very 'dArLing' indeed. |
The highlight of my day?
I'd have to say, the DISCOsparkling STEGOSAURUS glitter tattoo.
thank you vikki x..
..and that if i do say so myself....the beautiful, black, Lacquer usherette tray i crafted looked retro glamorous.....
BUT...the cards could do with being taken to a more suitable show home.
but that will be another story.

The SLUTTY OyStERs did it first
O.k, so we never actually went the whole hog and brought the shell shaped early learning centre sandpit to burst out of like a pair of strippers from a birthday cake (a girl can dream)
but our breasts were shell clad, EVERY GIG.
