Thursday

Following my absence last Thursday due to a previous engagement (Antony and the Jonsons with the London Philharmonic....hard to express the beauty of the performance or how a man of his stature could write and sing such tender, beautiful, heartbreaking songs. Utterly unique, utterly riveting, moving and pure......sweet....gush gush, I'll stop now....), normal service is resumed as Madame takes her rightful Thursday position. If you get there before 8 you'll experience the added treat of Richardette's Hippy Hour.....

Noted 1: Richard Mortimer

Special mention is due to Richard Mortimer who managed to make this 1950's number work for him....







I love Richard!!!

Junkstallation

Following the ENORMOUS success of the last collaboration between M.Goldstein's and the George and Dragon (see my "All Tomorrow's Parties post here if you want to get a taste...) I proudly announce "Junkstallation" this Sunday! Collaboration Part 2!

This time the doors will open at 3pm to give more time for dressing up! And we will be holding court until midnight.



Just remember: Everything's for sale! There will be clothes, bric-a-brac, biddy bits, buttons, beads and finery EVERYWHERE! Fight your way to the bar, enjoy the music and leave in an entirely different outfit to the one you arrived in!

It's Thursday again...

Lick on a bit of lipstick...girls, you too....head east and dare to dance in a public house!

Femme Realness

I was so pleased to sell the last gold A.P.C. "Rolling Stones in Marrakesh" dress to the lovely Jack....



This is a boy who can swish in this and a gold Marc Jacobs wedge yet fully intends to casualise the garment and introduce it into his daywear attire over a black jean and heavy boot for instance. If you want to see the dress debut, you should turn up to his "Femme Realness" night at the George and Dragon tomorrow night for that is when he shall be wearing it.

Madame xx

Do come!

I'll be there tomorrow night.....of course......you?

Every Thursday....

No Wayland Flowers obviously, but Madame is now ensconsed in weekly residence at the George and Dragon for your delight....make Thursdays a date dears!


Madame x

Can I make a prediction?

Between my sightings at Trannyshack, the George and Dragon and Ponystep during the last week, I predict an autumnal trend.....
goodbye no-make-up-make-up! As I have said before, I love a commitment to a look......






....a fearless attitude toward make-up is essential and I think everyone looks so amazing.....paint the face you want!

Madame x

Thursday Nite...

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!

Madame xxxx
