All Tomorrows Parties

As Nico droned "So what costume shall the poor girl wear...", girls and boys stepped gingerly through buttons and beads strewn all over the floor and picked dresses, coats and jewels off the furniture and walls of the George and Dragon for the party for Nathaniel's shop at 67 Hackney Road on Thursday night!

It was such an amazing sight, the bar itself was full of clutter from clocks to framed pictures of someone's nearest and dearest, and strings of pearls looped across the beer pumps. People walked in to they didn't know what - Anthony arrived to work behind the bar and thought that the place had been ransacked until he realised there was about ten times MORE stuff in the place than usual!

It was so fantastic the way people entered into the spirit and began a series of costume changes which became more and more outlandish as the night wore on....

Sarah went subtle with a Mitford headband...

Jaz was happier with the scarf from her shirt/scarf combo...

You didn't know what you would find....from Dyspepsia tablets...

...to the perfect tweed hat!

I was drawn to a pinny/Women's Realm combo!

And Shorditch's own David Johannsson found the perfect match for his showgirl costume...

Anthony got over the shock and got with the programme....

And Saranne made a new friend...

So many great looks!





And even one gentleman having a good read of one of the second hand books on offer amid the mayhem!

We thought The Lovely Jonjo was going to be a no-show but he breezed in and played an amazing set!

I think Nathaniel was really pleased with the turnout...

And Liliana after she got over the shock of the decorations...

...and started accessorising!
So wonderful to have so many of our favourite people in the same room!

Best party I've been to in AGES!

And if you encountered me padding around in barefeet on the cool cool tiles in the shop yesterday because I wrecked my feet in ridiculous shoes trying to dance on a sea of buttons...I can only say I'm sorry!
