NYE LDN - What's A Girl To DO...?

Okay, so it's only 2 days until we see in 2016 (ooo errr...where has 2015 gone?!?), I am still undecided as to where to go, but thought I'd draw up a list of THE places in London to be at over the 2015 NY season. 
These are in no particular order as they're all fantastic, but I'm acting on the basis of if I was to go MIA in my hometown... (Missing In Action for those who don't know. ;-) )


1. For those who do't know there's a secret party going on from the Deep Into Soul family that night too...well it's no longer a secret now haha! 
With less than 50 tickets remaining for what (I personally believe) will be THE BEST WAY TO SEE IN 2016. 
If it's a hands in the air, dance all night family vibe affair you're after, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE.
With musical delights by Rhemi Music - who are playing an exclusive 3 hour set (Oh Sirs you are really spoiling us!!) - along with Sy Sez and DIS favourites, a crowd who are always spot on with the vibe and where new comers are always welcomed into the fold, providing you bring a fun uplifting attitude along!! :-D



2. South Pole Saloon - Brixton's best creation of unused space as been given license to have a final farewell ball on NYE. Spacestation is holding court with secret guests, expect great food & drink, along with frolics from the Candy Cane Girls and Elf crewe, a definitely for those who want to stay closer to home in SE LDN.



3. NYD will have to be Ministry of Sound for Groove Odyssey where none other than Masters at Work, Bobby & Steve, Detroit Swindle, David Bailey & guests taking over for the night and if you click the link above & get there early it'll be free too!

Just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all those who have had a nosey at & have stuck with my blog, those who have featured & encouraged my passion, including the magical souls who continue to inspire me everyday - you know who you are! 

Whatever you're planning on doing, be safe, dance and giggle the year away and I look forward to bringing you all more dancing, beaches, debauchery and travels in 2016... ;-)

See ya!!

The South Pole Saloon - CAUTION: This Is A Lot Of Fun!

The latest fab "Pop up" to come into Brixton, over the festive season has to been The South Pole Saloon.
I was kindly invited to the Press Night and boy what a night it was!

This event is truly an adults playground, full of fun and debauchery - just how we like it!! 

On the approach to the Saloon I was greeted by an entrance which reminded me of Santa's grotto...which in turn got me excited and intrigued to find out what was about to commence next.

Now I'm a fan of Christmas, but not so much the cold, so the thought of being outside didn't initially appeal, but the fact that this event is in the ourdoors, gave it a more authentic feel and has been the one event which has got me into the Crimbo spirit!

I've chosen only a few pictures to feature, otherwise I think it'll spoil some of the surprises in store for you, but here is a taster of what to expect...

A fab DJ which catered for all musical tastes without being cheesy (a rarity!), naughty Elves and Candy Girls running around making mischief. 2 bar dedicated to making some seriously FAB cocktails, one of which specialises in Mr. JD for those who like it.

The South Pole Saloon entices all your senses with visuals, decor, food, drink and entertainment, the night I attended there was a brilliant acrobat show performed by a sensual burlesque-clad beauty, followed by a free-for-all on the dance floor!
Killer Cocktails! 

                                                            Yummy Scrummy Crust Conductor!                                                                     http://www.crustconductor.com/ http://www.butchies.co.uk/ & http://www.pastrygirls.co.uk/
For those who need a bite to eat onsite there are also local community businesses such as the Crust Conductor, Butchies & the Pastry Girls who will satisfy you with their tasty morsels...
Enquire at: bookings@southpolesaloon.com for more details. :-)

They also have 3 themed Booths: Candy Parlour, Rebel's Den and Snowman's Land that can be hired if you and family/ friends want to cause even more mayhem! 
For those of you who might like to meet at the weekend they also have a Bottomless Brunch going on every Saturday for a bargain £30, where you can choose food from one of the vendors on site and enjoy unlimited bubbles and Bloody Marys, I mean...it'd be rude not to right? ;-)

What makes The South Pole Saloon different is that is doesn't feel like it's trying to hard like some other Winter Festival I've attended, it's not contrived or pretentious. It has a fun laid-back vibe to begin with, which rounds up like a party with new found friends by the end!

So if you fancy spending some time in an adult's version of a Winter Wonderland ;-), get your butts over there as you've only got until Wednesday 23rd December before it's gone!
