I couldn’t remember the last time I did something with purpose on a Saturday afternoon. Admittedly, it’s usually spent either nursing hangovers with bacon and orange juice, tidying up or doing those pesky errands that I can never get around to during the week. So when Gina invited me to Tease at The Pigalle, I lapped up the offer! The Pigalle is a rather lovely little venue just off Picadilly Circus. It’s plush interiors are very welcoming and it’s like slipping back in time once inside, what with all the waitresses wearing retro maid outfits. The event is run by Zoe (who runs Time For Tease) whose motto, she commented, was “have tea will travel”. How cute.
The lovely Zoe:
The layout of the afternoon is incredibly relaxing. Champagne, sandwiches, tea, scones and cakes, all the while interspersed with burlesque performances. It’s an incredibly laid-back atmosphere inside with a diverse clientèle ranging from couples enjoying a romantic afternoon to larger groups of friends. Despite having a little bit of a post-Friday headache, I didn’t feel so bad after a sip of bubbly and a cuppa tea. And I don’t even like tea, much. Twas a lovely way to start the afternoon, warming me up for the evenings adventures…
