With dharling Rupert whisking me off to Paris for my birthday next week, I’ve secretly booked this sexy cabaret show as a special treat – how naughty of me! I might have to whip up a new garter for myself to wear on the evening, and I’ll be sure to wear hot heels to go with it. Le Crazy Horse here we come!

The girls are so sexy, and the outfits (what there are of them) are stunning. I’ll be taking notes and absorbing inspiration into every pore like a glamorous journo with front row seats at Gareth Pugh, the hottest show at London Fashion Week this Feb.

With our ‘diamond’ reservation (diamonds are a girls best friend, non?), we will be in licking distance of the “scantily clad dance troupe…the tribute to Alain Bernardin’s legendary striptease…the stunning and seemingly endless legs…and the voluptuousness of the burlesque finale”, as we sip champagne.

A down-to-the-suspenders review will be posted here upon my return, but at the moment I think lubricious just about covers it; silky, lustful, slippery…

Au revoir x

As a special Valentine’s treat today to moi, I purchased a divine new lippie from Mac.

It’s called ‘lustering‘ from the ‘lustre’ range and it’s a super hot pink for hot Spring lips. I was tempted by a sumptuous, silky ‘nude’ lipstick as a second little treat, but then I thought, why buy a lipstick that will look like I’m not wearing any? Couldn’t I achieve the same fresh-faced look with one of the 42 lip glosses in my beauty box? I decided yes, and spent the extra cash on an iced coffee and a pain au chocolat!

I love the funky names of lipsticks, eye shadows, glitter liners et al. I really wanted ‘Lady Danger’ lipstick but the colour really wasn’t me. I remember reading once that Erin O’Connor wore that shade, but hey, she’s a model so she can carry it off. My friend Natalie bought an eye shade in ‘smut‘ which we had a giggle over, until we got lost trying to find Neal’s Yard in Covent Garden.

They do amazing free tea in there and I felt compelled to write in their feedback book to thank them for their detoxing dose of red and pink rose petal in cosylittle mugs. How divine. A girl really does need a break from the tiresome hunt for the perfect moisturising oil or lippie, but the rewards are beautiful skin and striking lips. It’s worth it. I’m worth it. You’re worth it.

 Long live make up!
