The Glamour Factory @ National Portrait Gallery

If you haven't seen it already, i bet the NPG's Glamour of the Gods (Gods of the old school Hollywood variety, in case you were wondering) is firmly on your list of things to see before it's too late... like before 24th October. Well, i say, make your visit this Friday! Why? Well, to coincide with their specially themed 'Late shift' night, of course. I feel there are many reasons for this, so i'm going to bullet point...
  1. It is Free (good point to start with i think)
  2. Talented pros will be on hand to transform you into a Hollywood star/let - unless you already look like one, in which case, kudos!
  3. There will be themed 20's through to 50's music from the The Broken Hearts DJs, as well as cabaret from the likes of flapper girls, burlesque beauties and a 1940's take on a 21st century Ru Paul - very intriguing!
  4. Debates, drawing classes, posing tips, a portrait photographer and a Walk of Fame are all on hand to keep you entertained.
  5. Cocktails.
  6. You could then go see the actual exhibition...
  7. ...but then, there is an after party at Cafe de Paris to get to...
Check out the full programme here and start planning your outfit...BTW, the dress code is Black and White...
