Afternoon Tease

If I had access to a time-machine, I would go to a speakeasy during prohibition. It all started when I first saw Bugsy Malone, or maybe it was those apple adverts that used to be on when I was a kid. Whichever, the combination of glamour crossed with illicitness is too alluring to resist.

So I loved Afternoon Tease at Volupte Lounge. The poker girls (plus a couple of friends) decided to make this a Christmas outing.  Volupte is beautiful - I took photos, but none of them do it justice. Better to give you the description from the website and leave it to your imagination:

Volupte is a world of pleasure, exquisite delight, and sharing.  Of decadence, richness, indulgence and extremities. A world where you are cordially invited to spoil yourself, to preen yourself, to love and be loved.

We had the lot: champagne (in saucers), tea, sandwiches, scones, cake, burlesque, singing, a human Christmas tree that became gradually less decorated. Fabulous!

Sounds Wonderful! Sounds like the perfect Christmas outing...

It was wonderful - one of the most festive things I've done this year. I think that was partly because it's tinged with nostalgia.
