We were so lucky to enjoy a staff night out at the The PumpHouse Theatre where Lady ArmiLade and her amazing cast entertained us with “The Biggest Drag Carnival Circus”!

What a delight. If you missed out this time, the good news is they’ll be back in February.

A few days ago we had three clients in a state of emergency. One lovely lady had ordered her costume from TEMU and guess what? It hadn't arrived in time for her event. A couple had ordered from TEMU and guess what? One size does not fit all! Their costumes arrived in time but didn't fit either of them. Fortunately our amazing stylists saved the day and all three clients left the building with fabulous costumes and a crisis avoided! Shop local if you want to guarantee you'll look FABULOUS!
