high tea...alice in wonderland style.

"Twinkle, twinkle little bat How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky."
-Lewis Carroll

Let's be honest here. Nothing in the world is better than a fancy cup of tea. Well, possibly an adorable, tasty cupcake to accompany each sip... but that's besides the fact. Now. Take a fabulous cup of tea, and then add it to some Alice in Wonderland-esque fabulousness, and you get this...

Royal/T, Los Angeles: So this place is not only a tea cafe, but also an art studio, and apparently fashion runway! This month Royal/T will be having Alice-themed events, from an Alice inspired fashion show, to $25 Alice High Tea! Alice High Tea includes Playing Card Tea Sandwiches, Eat Me Cupcakes, Drink Me Green Tea and Cheshire Cat Macaroons. How exquisite!

Mandrin Oriental Hotel, New York: This classy hotel is serving Mad Hatter Teas until April 30th! For $42, tea time includes Twiddle Tea Sandwiches and Twiddle Crumbs Desserts like Queen of Hearts linzer tarts and Cheshire Cat cupcakes. Yumm!

Langham Hotel, London: Check it outt! A super classy Afternoon Tea alongside finger sandwiches with blue fin tuna and pickled cucumber, or smoked Scottish organic salmon with horseradish and watercress... Delish! And if you're not feeling the tea... check out their artisan cocktail bar and booze it up, Alice style of course! This Eat Me Drink Me Cocktail for $21 is a fabulous infusion of "G'vine Floraison gin shaken with lemon juice and peach liqueur, then finished with a rose petal and hibiscus sugar rim. It is served with an indulgent chocolate and caramel slice".


...Tempted? I, most certainly am!

Cheers!!

hello little monsters,

Beyond amazing. Lady Gaga's performance last night at the Nokia Live theater in LA was simply mind-blowing! I can't even explain. I felt that I dressed up right in the moderate range, with an H&M off the shoulder tunic with sequined shoulders, leather leggings, and electric blue steve madden open toed booties. There were a good number of people who didn't dress up at all, and there were many people who really got into it, leotard/unisuits, blonde wigs, etc. and some girls (and guys for that matter) dressed up as sluts, simply. The theater was ginormous! Incomparable to anything out here in the Bay Area. I must admit, I was a bit bummed out that Kid Cudi didn't open for her, but that didn't even matter. The show started with Semi Automatic Weapons, I was indifferent. But Lady Gaga opened with Dance in the Dark. She performed for a good 2 hours, with so many hot outfits! My favorites were her madonna like look, and her black feathered outfit.

She was such an amazing performer... no blood, no fire... just amazing dancing, singing, and interacting with fans.

She actually sang a couple of songs from The Fame... and all of her newsongs from The Fame Monster album, except for Telephone. Although the concert almost resembled a rave, her moments on the piano were legitt. She played Speechless and an a piano/vocal only version of Pokerface.

Lady Gaga is SOOOOO my hero, it's not even funny.
