'Sexy Chicago'

Photo by londonwestendreviews.wordpress.com

So this may have been back in January but hey i'm reviewing it now. As you can tell I went to see Chicago at the Garrick theatre near Leicester Square, London. Since watching Chicago on dvd (the one with Catherine-Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere) awhile back ive been itching to take a trip to see this, especially looking forward to the 'Cell Block Tango, he had it coming!!'

It was very exciting, I was in the upper circle, which was near the back but the Garrick is a very intimate theatre so I had a very good view where I was sitting. The styling was very good, sexy fishnets and leather bras for the ladies and likewise the men wore sheer black shirts open or fishnet vests ;) Like I said in a previous post about men with tophats and canes, oi oi!! These had the added bonus of tap dancing and jazz hands. It was a mix of cabaret, burlesque, jazz and musical theatre. So good, a must see!! :)

'Monochrome Mannequins'

So the other week I was shopping in 'Beyond Retro Soho' and they had this amazing line-up of eerie 1920's esque monochrome mannequins along the entrance and stairways. The mannequins were pasty white with black lips and cutout eyes. Props included large vintage mirrors and old school pocketwatches. If ever there was one, it felt like I had walked onto the set of a 1920's silent supernatural thriller!!
 The staff also dressed the part, the men looked very handsome in their skinny jeans, long coats and tophats. A dress code all men should adhere to (add a cane, a cigar and shoulder length hair and we have the perfect gentleman)!! :D
A lovely selection of second hand/vintage clothes in their right now, I bought an amazing black jumpsuit (way better than any in Topshop) and a bargain at £20!!
