Kittens' night on the town 21 March

We keep talking about it - going out, having a nice dinner and just not working for once. usually talk is all it ends up being, but this time we finally made it happen!


Georgette & Pepper on the tube.

First a lovely five-course dinner at Le Rouge in Gamla Stan with cocktails and entertainment - the meal was delicious!



We ate soooo much, and I think everyone managed to clean their plates, except Ingrid who ordered bouillabaise and got food for about five people - but lola and Dixie were only too happy to help her out, and I believe Baby had her fair share of seafood as well.

We had so much fun occasionally we had to remind ourselves we were in a public space, to watch our language and keep it down just a notch.

Their idea with dinner club performances was swell, but they could have done so much better in that departmen (like a bunch of Kittens, for example...). The decor was wonderful, and the food really was delicious, though, so we were happy.

After dinner we went on to HK club to see Miss Indigo Blue, that lovely lady from Seattle we've had the pleasure to meet in Vegas and New York. She's brilliant and we had the best 'seats' in the house, which cost us about 45 minutes of waiting in horrid techno music (why? what for? who likes it? what has it got to do with burlesque?!), it was painful, but well worth the effort when miss Blue took the stage.

She was fabulous as always, and even managed total glamour after slipping and falling pretty badly. The compere sprayed whipped cream on stage before her (clever?), and the person who 'cleaned it up' only rubbed it into the floor, so basically Indigo had a big butter stain center stage - not a good combo with high heels... But she managed even that!

Tara MiSioux did a pretty Sailor Moon routine too, since it was super hero theme night. On the whole, a lot of waiting and bad music for a few good routines, didn't feel worth the money, unfortunately, since they're the ones with the big budget who can actually afford getting foreign performers in.

Used to be a lot better... Never the less, Kitten night is always fun!
