east end and what I've done with my life this past week.

Maybe I'll make an empty promise to write down life happenings at least on Sunday evenings.

So this past Thursday we had another lovely [free] outing with the SAI girls (there's like 8 American girls who all came here in the same program) and thanks to Jamie, the ever amazing fabulous gay mama duck of our london squabble, we got to see a show called "La Soiree" at the legendary Roundhouse Theatre in Camden.

So smuggle in a bit of grocery store liquor and then squeeze your way to the front of the standing room only ticket space (I'd rather pay less and stand where we did instead of sit in the nosebleeds!) and watch complete ridiculousness ensue. It was absolutely hilarious and left us all going "how the hell did they just do that?" the whole time.

A Hula Hooper who did at least two dozen hoops at once.
A Stripper doing a magic routine.
A couple who've been doing a rollerskating acrobatic sideshow routine for more than 30 years together where mulleted man skates on a roughly 6 foot diameter platform and spins around his blondie partner by the ankles.
An excessively sexy spinning trapeze-like act.
A boy who dressed in drag and then jumped on a pogo stick and juggled.
HE WAS WEARING 8 INCH HEELS.
A cocaine ridden Irish step dancing act.
and finish with the "Queen" of the ring sing we are the champions and crowd surf while everyone sings along.


Jealous? should be.

Then Friday night Chelsea and I traveled south of the river to Brixton (aka London's Brooklyn) and hung out at a house party with people from her program at CSM. Nice people, a haphazard game of beer pong by non-americans: there were about 20 cups on each side because they didn't know how many to use and no one knew the bounce back rule.

But the best part was the view off the back of the patio we were hanging out on blasting old school hip hop...you could see all of London. And in my true form, I was too busy enjoying the moment and didn't take a picture. Sorry!

But I do have some photos (stolen from Roo) from our Sunday sashaying about brick lane (which is officially our Sunday tradition). We ate some amazing japanese okonomiyaki and chinese boazi and topped it off with some amazing doughnuts and by getting some crafty accessory inspiration. 

cheap eats. 8 quid lunch!

vintage wares.

obviously, i need a doughnut deep fryer machine asap.
