Shore Leave

Friday was 'Girls Can't DJ' hosted by Heather and Gemma AKA London Loves. They proved that girls can in fact DJ, as I recalled when leaving at the sensible time of 2.30am while my friends danced to Britney's 'Piece of Me'. Oh well, some of us have to work.

Saturday night was spent at The George Tavern, at Shore Leave. Hosted by Trixie Malicious and friends (incidentally she also appears in my last blog), it was a night of rum-swilling and ass-shaking: SHORE LEAVE is a night for love-sick sailor boys and girls, world weary sea-pilots, stowaways, jazz heads, immigrants and lovers.
