However I do understand the idea of Parisian Nights...opulent, decadent, bohemian, creative, sensual, luscious, beautiful... images of a Belle Epoque... artistic license to thrill... which is what I experienced tonight at The Art Lounge.
I've teamed up with a most fantastic friend to photograph interesting events and places to see and go and experience.
Meagan has a radio program called Armchair Traveller. I'm her camninja wingman! She is also awesomely talented. 10 fingers, a thousand pies and all deliciously baked!
We share a love of dance, performance, radio, burlesque, life, experiences, challenges and all things sense-ual and ours is the perfect collaboration.
The images I take are for the radio show's blog but I am able to share the images I take so stay zoned... but this was not why we were here tonight. We were just meeting up before [drum roll] the BIG EVENT...oooh mystery...
(*relax. That doesn't mean that Paris is full of homosexuals. Once upon a time, "gay" meant happy plus eet eez ze way Frrrancophiles woould descrrribe Paree. Non?
**Some of my 'from Paris' friends don't understand the fascination! And they are artists, designers, photographers, antique dealers.)
...and look at my shoes!... refer previous post...

Most amazing chanteuse Rose Grayson & Accordionist Philippe Wittwer.
Well known international burlesque artist Sarina del Fuego.
She (the singer Rose Grayson) was absolutely amazing! Just perfect and wicked and sassy and dramatic and divine! The reincarnation of Edith Piaf!
"Sarina’s sophisticated and lavish performances have enraptured global audiences as far and wide as the Edinburgh, Sydney and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, NYE at the Sydney Opera Bar, the London Burlesque Festival, La Clique and the famous Spiegeltent."
Compliments of the owner who started talking to us and discovered we were there to experience the heady delights of Parisian Nights. And that we write about such things...
I'm not doing a review here, Meagan and I were only there for social reasons but... the food was delicious (we only had a tasting plate but that was enough to whet the appetite), the service was damn good and the ambience was glorious!
If you're in Sydney you must go.
...and this is why I am the photographer... sigh....

A divine outfit and a heavenly location. The animal print and polka dots are just a genius combination.
Paris rocks, trust me it's not all about the Eiffel Tower and posh shops. There's Montmartre, the Left Bank, flea markets, intimate bistros and quirky art galleries. xxx
