Satin & Fur, Ties and Braces

Well what a funky birthday celebration for Miss S!
It's always a bit dubious trying out some place no one has ever been before and with a dress code that no one is quite sure of (a strict no jeans policy! Dang!). Though in this case it was excellent!
We went to a basement venue on Dean Street, Black Gardenia... red velvet seats, wall paintings of beautiful women (one wearing a skirt of bananas!), mood lightening and wonderful rockabilly music that I haven't heard in years!
It was G&T's all round, great conversation (especially about the meaning of the bathroom names - Snakes and Fishtails) and people watching... satin, fur, short skirts and dresses, cords, ties, leather trousers and braces!
Oh, there was live music too! Guy playing Jazz on the piano when we arrived and then a band, though not quite sure what style they were, though did sound good!
Then it was off to find a late evening snack, me realising that I had to run to catch a train and missing out on the carry on, hope it was a good carry on Miss S!
