Tripping the Night Fantastic!!!

T-shirts were distributed....The Lovely Jonjo demonstrated the technique while pulling on his Lone Dog t....



Lektrogirl chose the Nigel Waymouth pop Jean Harlow...

Max felt that the Femmes Fatale was more him...

Jeff Dexter did us proud with his psychedelic set and even brought his own light fittings!

Wonderful turn out, Guy Sangster Adams from the Horse Hospital must've said something very shocking to Caz Facey....

Lara Clifton and Liza Angst popped in for a beer before their pub crawl around the brothels and strip clubs of the east end....

Jenny Drag from the Priscillas was in full leopard print force....

I played a storming set though I do say so myself, there were people actually dancing on the TABLES! Nice to have living legends Nigel Waymouth, Tommy Roberts and Jeff Dexter partying alongside Hoxton's finest....The Look Presents...another success, and any of these Granny Takes a Trip t shirts are available at Top Man for twenty quid. The brilliant thing is they go from xxs to xxl - bisexual t shirts! Get down to Topman boys and girls!

Cheers!

Violet Time

Guy Sangster Adams came to Maison B to shelter from the rain with the Horse Hospital film crew last week having planned an interview with Alexis from The Violets in an outdoor setting surrounded by architectural splendour......A compromise to say the least was our bijoux basement and possibly the steadicam was slightly surplous to requirements!

I tried not to eavesdrop too much on their interview but my ears perked up as Alexis mused on Hitchcock's Marni as a huge influence....I love that film and saw it when very young as she did, I love Hitchcock's brittle complicated blondes and Marni's red-trigger makes her one of the more dangerous of the genre. I was interested to check out their music which you can do here, she's got an incredible set of lungs and comparisons to Siouxsie are lazy but there aren't many women around with big voices like this.....

I was so pleased with my picture of Alexis with new lilac hair against our pink wallpaper.....

....and I know I should have photoshopped the light switch out but I've got so much blogging to catch up on....
