Hola Madrid!


This year I celebrated my birthday with my best friend in the beautiful baroque town of Madrid. 
So much fun: We loved all the colourful details of the architecture and went vintage shopping - of course.


My leopard shopping bag is full of 50s goodies I will show in upcoming posts.



This mexican restaurant was so cool and the food delicious.


We enjoyed a Flamenco show on our first evening and a trashy dragshow on the second one. 
I felt like living in an Almodovar movie.



After all that shopping and clubbing it was time for an art-marathon. 
Beside the huge Prado I liked the Modern Art section of the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection the most.


While strolling I found this incredible shop called Burlesque: full of wigs and professional make up.
 I came out with another shopping bag full of fake lashes and brushes - happy me.


Sadly the weather was just grey and cold. Time for more nightclubbing.

hairflower: real carnation, present from a Flamenco dancer
dress: Folter clothing, present from Honey
cardigan: Vintage Vixen
shoes: Molly Holly


In the Charada Club we listened to the dark ballads of the super beautiful Chrysta Bell.


Leaving you with another typical detail of Madrid...

glitter in the powder room



The other day a friend and I visited a Burlesque show in the Bassy Club and she made some pics of me in the Ladies' lavatory - not the most glamourous location, I know. But my beloved 50s cocktail jacket, found on a fleamarket and my 6-inch-high beehive was worth it.

The jacket is so classic: made of crêpe, bat sleeves, a nipped in waist and very nice embroidery with little black jet pearls.

  
Pockets with scallop! 



While we powder our noses, let´s have a closer look at my make up: I used Kryolan pro-products only, padded the pink glitter on the lids just with an eyeshadow base, draw a winged liner and put tons of mascara on my natural lashes to get that spidery look - it´s not a faux pas anymore - it´s en vogue!


The huge pink glitter flower in my hair is a souvenir from fabulous Las Vegas!


The show girls were so hot, that I had to cool down myself a bit.



I hailed a taxi in my vintage Sergio Rossi high heels and felt very happy to live in a town
where you can enjoy a great show with international acts on a common wednesday.
