Where can I get Moulin Rouge-style fancy dress?

Posted by whenthiswasfields about 1 year ago

I’m going to a Moulin Rouge themed ball, and would like to know where I can get some really nice costumes from. Google isn’t helping much, and I’d like something quite glitzy rather than a leotard and a ra-ra skirt. Showgirl outfits and proper can-can get-up is much more like it. Any ideas? West or...

I find myself possibly on the receiving end of playing general host and guide to a group of American visitors this summer (ugh, Americans). Students, to boot (ugh, students). One of them is in a motorized wheelchair, and their group leader has been asking me about how accomodating central London will be to the whe...

Estate Agents are rubbish. Just in case anyone didn’t know yet. Commercial ones are just as bad as residential ones but smarmier. Anyway, I’ve been hounding a whole list of commercial estate agents in a vain attempt to find an office to rent. Around 400-500 sq ft in Central London (West End/Waterloo/P...

We’re hosting an evening event with these two Irish authors on Friday May 4th, and I think it’s going to be a good one.

Where's a nice, non-spicy food restaurant near Covent Garden to take elderly relatives?

Elderly, though quite funky relatives coming over from Washington at the end of April. I need a table for dinner for 10 people in the Covent Garden area at a nice restaurant where the food is quite simple… there’s a wheat allergy thing to consider. We always end up in Porters, which is great but they w...

Imagine the scene. It’s 5.30pm, central London, Friday evening. You are bringing two people together, who, if they get on, work things out and strike a (business) deal, could make you a little bit richer and a lot more joyful. BUT…the meeting has to take place somewhere quiet. Somewhere Covent Garden-ish...
