Bridget'sparty

My friend Bridget is fond of oriental dance...So for her birthday, we organised a little belly dance show!!!
And of course, she did not know it!
Her belly dance friend invited her to a show of a very good professional dancer in a real cabaret (22bis, rue Marché au fromage). You can imagine her surprise when she discovered that the dancers on the scene was us!!! We made a little choreagraphy and then the guys (pharao's!) joined us to offer her food on big plates ;-)
The surprise did work very good and we had a lot of fun together!!!!

Charlie's party

My dear Charles organised a party in the cabaret 22bis (belonging to her mum). He asked to his invited friends to surprise him on the way that they wanted. Thinking that it was better to prepare something for everybody to make sure that his wishes will be fullfilled... I asked everybody to dress like in the 20's, the time of the Charleston!!! I sung a song with its sister and mum about Charlie dancing the tango), We let him dance and sing on the Billy Flint song (Chicago) with his new tap shoes and then the 4 girls on the pic. made him a special catwalk with all "Charles"-clothing!!!
Afterwards, food, wine and disco non stop!!! It was wonderful! And he loved it!!!

Charlie's party

For me, this party was a first occasion to sing in public!!! Well, it was great ... even if I discovered that it was better to take singing lessons ;-)

Anne's party

Anne is fond of movies...So we decided to dress like a movie hero for her birthday in the restaurant called Halloween in Brussels ;-)
Around the table, we had Gladiator, Harry Potter and her girlfriend, Indiana Jones, The Priest and an elfe in the Lord of the Rings, Nemo, Dracula, Scream monster and Satine of the Moulin Rouge :-)

New year's eve in St IDesbald

I spent the new year 's weekend at the coast in the house of my friend Maud and we were 16 and we had a lot of fun !!! The theme of the new year's party was the comic strips (we are proud of our Belgian Speciality!) You can recognize Tintin (BeChar), The Tunique bleue, Asterix, Dupont,...

My last birthday party!

For my last birthday, my friends suprised me with their presence in a delicious Indian restaurant and then we went dancing in an Irish pub...it was great to make again a giant "écharpe humaine"!

    Thank you very much for listing this! One night, my friends & I stumbled upon this place & I had the best mojito of my life (I used to live in Miami, FL so I am not exaggerating) & I had no idea of the name or location of this. Now I know!
