plus, i love this cafe and the people who own it, as i consider them friends with imagination, warmth, support and the ability to risk and try different things...
i customised the space and moved the sexy sofa at the back, because i wanted to create a stage for the band and a sitting area near the garden, which, eventually, became a platform for my haistylist! o. yes, we had haircuts from one of the best hairstylists in town, who i proudly call, my girl, as i love her so much!
the glitterball was installed and is now gracing the cafe's industrial ceiling for the next party and the next...
we put the lowboys on the tables for atmosphere and we swapped the harsh white in the standing lamps with warm orange, which cost a deserved fortune and boom! we had ambience, with the rotating glass chips of the ball above us!
we had shoe drawings, beautiful, originals, who were donated by a friend, colouring the brick, red and white walls!
we brought the heavy boxes from downstairs and we set up the busy bar...
i re introduced the east london fawcett society sling, made lovingly with gin, heering cherry liqueur, benedictine, lemon juice and sugar
and
the beaver royale, with vodka, creme de cassis and apple juice, as the signature drinks of the event, because i knew i would have new folk, who i wanted to experiment on; in a good way!
as i love to play with jams and spices and syrups as of late, i put on the menu chilli and cinnamon manhattan, with fresh chilli, which was delicious and warm and spicy and full of bourbon; chocolate and lavender in the margarita and ginger in the old - fashioned.
i had the garden breeze as the non alcoholic beverage and instead of white grape juice, i added apple with the fresh ginger, the cucumber, the mint and the lemon juice and all in the bender with crushed ice! fresh and clean and i believe, excellent also, with gin...
djs, all female and sexy and gorgeous were alternating their great sets, between the band and the short talk from the society's integral members and the charity's representative, money we were raising for: a safer world for women...
we drank and danced and mingled and cheered and we got involved...
we stayed till the early hours dancing to my iphone's 90s house, drinking the remaining beer and breaking down the pop up... watch this space for our summer party... nymphs and sirens and muses are coming on board!
many thanks to roberto, george, noemi and valentina at fabrica, my beautiful team, anka, andre, andre, holly, georgie, zbigniew, miri, sam, dan, monica, mystique, sophie and zara and the society's, hannah, rachel and gemma.
