Last night my boy and I went to a friends for dinner and then for drinks to L'Umbracle, an outside bar under the magnificent curved walkway by Santiago Calatrava - part of his complex for the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. It was the first time I had been since the bar had opened and I was amazed. The place looked gorgeous, three cocktail bars, a stage, a huge dancefloor and countless places to sit or lounge, or escape for a cuddle! It really was quite stunning.
We were lucky (or unlucky as it turned out) to be there for a fashion show to open a new chevignon store. Unfortunately they hadn't decided to splash out on using actual models and had asked friends and family to model instead. This resulted in a bit of a shambolic affair, with models who were attractive but nothing like professionals and it all felt a bit half-arsed. Thankfully there was also what they call in Spain a "spectaculo" where there are dancers in costumes up on podiums and on stage to encourage people to dance. The theme was Little Red Riding Hood and they all looked fabulous. As we were leaving, and due to a few too many drinks, I realised that I hadn't taken any photos. Therefore the images here are a result of my pissed boy and I trying to get a decent pic of my outfit - enjoy!
