WE FIND OURSELVES IN A SURREAL STATE

From The Beast To the Blonde –Hendrick’s Fairy Tale Masked Ball


THE LAST TUESDAY SOCIETY

“Decadence comes from the latin word cadere - which means to fall. It is the beautiful way to fall. It’s a very slow movement which has lots of beauty. It can be a kind of self-killing in a beautiful way, a tragic way” Viktor Wynd

Yesterday night my friend invited me to a masked ball. We didn't really know anything else about it but of course intrigued (as really who would say no to a masked ball?!) we got dressed in our finest and made our way across London to the venue. What we discovered when we turned up was a world so outrageously fantastically bizarre and magical I think we spent the entire night just trying to take it all in!
