Weekend Hideaway

Saturday night we got all glammed up and headed to the Hideaway Club in Streatham to listen to Lillian Boutté. She is a powerhouse of a singer: named 'New Orleans Musical Ambassador' in 1986, she was the second jazz legend in the city's history so honoured (the first being Louis Armstrong).

The laydee's got charisma. She and her supersassy niece Tanya sang a great mix of laid-back New Orleans jazz and funky R&B. Highlights included Louisiana 1927 (written for an earlier deluge, updated for Katrina) and a phenomenal rendition of Proud Mary, which ended the show.

The club was pretty mood-lit, and the stage shots didn't come out great. Therefore, the images are mostly concerned with the Superglam Eyelash Plan. Mine went a smidge awry, when my sleek black feathery lashes self-destructed upon opening. Luckily we had a spare set (in krayzee purple). Fun fun fun :-)



Sunday was a FlumpFest, which went smooth and by the numbers :-)
