Fifty Shades of Cabaret
Upon entering this dimly lit, smoky room that would not be out of place in the 40's you are firmly instructed to leave your inhibitions at the door to partake in this tongue in cheek sinful flight of fantasy...Feathers and frolics, a double vodka on the rocks and the scene is set for the incredibly talented and sexy performers.Dinner was surprisingly good considering the reasonable price demanded...Proud Camden is definitely the dominant choice of venues for organising events with a difference- be it a hen night, birthday or just a fun night out!

New year, new angle...Fuerza Bruta is definitely that! With a glass platform suspended above the audiences heads and performers dancing, slipping and sliding in gushing water this is a rather more innovative performance concept than we are accustomed to!
You think the hedonistic vibe cannot get anymore electric until a hot Argentine pilot descends on a cord from what could be heaven and whips up a lucky member of the audience, entangles himself around her and takes her back up to bounce around with him on the dream bubble-this wont make sense I know...you'll just have to go see for yourself!!
The roundhouse is the perfect place to welcome this incredible group of artists to London for the second time. The concept was probably designed around the space the roundhouse offers. They bounced off every wall and swung from the ceiling all to exhiliaratingly loud music. It makes you want to lose yourself in this dreamworld and just to bring another dimension, it should have been the introduction to an all night party there!
They would have had trouble tearing me away at the end if I hadn't been so stupid as to wear heels - it's standing only as the audience is manipulated around the room in line with the acts... Girls- you have been warned!!

LOVE PROTECTS - LOVE DEFENDS - LOVE RESTORES - LOVE EMPOWERS
should be shouted from the rooftops and in the forefront of everyone's minds this year.
A friend running for this incredible charity brought it to my attention this week and I have not thought of much else since.
Love146 works toward the abolition of child sex slavery and exploitation - not only do they infiltrate the sex slave rings to rescue girls sometimes as young as 8 or 9 but they have homes to provide the physical and mental after-care these girls so desperately need after living through such traumatic and horrifying ordeals.
People are under the misconception that sex slavery is only a problem in third world countries, but it is in actual fact a problem much closer to home, with children trafficked throughout Europe on a daily basis. Either way, wherever in the world it may be, not enough is being done to keep women and children safe.
India has featured heavily in the headlines of late, as well as Egypt of course. These countries in particular are a hub of adversity. Women are only just gaining the right to education in some parts, with many men not letting go of the idea that women should only feature in the home. This collision of age old mentality and the evolving world propelling women forward and allowing them to fulfil their potential is more dangerous and violent than ever.
That there will always be predators in this world is a sad and all too real statement, but it is our responsibility to counteract the evil these people portray to the best of our ability...so start by sponsoring Tommy at
