At The Cicada Club!!
So finally, I went to the Cicada Club! As I don't have my own transport here in LA I managed to persuade my mother to join me. And I invited my new sister-in-law too!!
The evening we went there was a Christmas show on.
Excited!
Since the first picture was dark, we re-took it with a flash and I ended up having the obligatory red eyes. Later at home I tried to Photoshop my eyes darker which ended with me looking sort of like a glamorous raccoon... ;)
What a beautiful club! Lots of vintage styles even though many dressed in more modern attire.
The enormous chandelier that graced the ballroom! Oh, all the little delightful details.
And there was music and dancing!
And performing!
My Mom thought it was great!
Together we spent part of the evening commenting on what people were wearing.
And my beautiful sweet sister-in-law looked absolutely "Mad Men-esque" in her late 50s, early 60s dress.
Even though I didn't dance, the music was great !
And everyone on stage looked quite glamorous! The show was actually broad casted just like it would have been in certain clubs back in the day.
I lend my fur wrap to my sister-in-law for an added vintage effect. Doesn't she look absolutely amazing!!
