Boudoir (Boudior)
Sunday 4 may 2008 @ Platinum Bar
Boudoir (or Boudior as it was affectionately known) was the last night of a very, very long weekend. Lack of sleep had taken its toll, and it was anyone’s guess as to whether we’d make it at all … With a slightly laxer dress code and a chill-out vibe, it seemed like the perfect comedown from the Torture Garden high, so we ventured out. Trying out a new venue at the Platinum Bar near Old Street, Boudoir’s ambiance seemed unimpeached by the two previous nights : the outfits were stunning and everyone looked beautiful, with a general vintage theme running through, corsets, furs, hats, even more so than other Torture Garden events. Even the downstairs club room had a higher density of feather fascinators than usual. David TG, the man himself, in another amazing suit, was to be seen dancing there, with model Viktoria.
The main room was probably the ground floor bar, which was crammed with dancers and pin-up projections. The French Team was still out in force, with the surprise but very welcome of the very gorgeous Valkyrie, in swashbuckling style. The quietness of the dungeon bar was much appreciated for those wanting to talk, but the split levels and those interminable stairs quickly finished us off. Josselin was further handicapped by the damage his camera has sustained the previous nights, which meant he wasn’t really able to take much in the way of pictures ! We left before the end of the party, about 2am, just missing new friend Veronica, who tells us that the party secretly went on till about 4am, with Allen TG blasting out all the classics … Oh well, all the more time to rest and recuperate and prepare for next weekend’s Berlin Fetish Ball, which promises to be a blast. Hopefully Josselin’s camera will be back on its metaphorical feet by then, otherwise he’ll have to find other ways of amusing himself.
Of course and most importantly, a huge thank you to David, Allen, Charlotte and their crew for organising such a fantastic weekend. Can’t wait for the next one – Torture Garden’s coming of age !
