BRING TOYS
Our last popup we had only one guest. We had forgotten to send invitations.
Pretty exhausted, we were sitting at the order table, with the kids, drinking red wine out of paper cup stamped with “KRIBA” logo. We enjoy sending time together. Our mutual husbands are rather the silent type, discret, they both left at some. So it was only her and me when this girl arrived, our visitor.
Westwood pump, a large fluffy coat and only stockings underneath. A makeup that you would only see on a sexy cartoon character.
Her name Marie, she had just arrived from London. But I’m almost sure she’s French. I didn’t see right behind her Mimi. All smile. Again super gorgeous. At this very moment it was confirmed I definitely had a crush on him.
It was his birthday that night. I wasn’t invited. Was I ? I can’t remember.
“Joyeux anniversaire Mimi chéri” he looked happily surprised. “Charles tu connais Marie?” , “We just met”.
The four of us around the table start this late aperitif. Typically French. With red wine out of the box.
Anja arrives, with Eli. I love their Badenhof look. They really are a power couple. Powerfully cute. They start taking pictures. Compare to Eli I look old. But we’re both extremely thin and fit. I’m happy I’m having the best time with Anja. We starts making jokes about my collection. “We should try something on Eli!” “Oh I really like this dress Charles” whispers gently in my back this Marie person. “Oh but this is a barber XXX made of taffetas. Upcycled taffetas!” “So funny”
“Try it on Monique!!” Yelled mimi from afar. “Monique?”
- oh my hod it’s Monique Fei - I start blushing horribly.
Starstricked by this cute little creature coming out of nowhere.
A nice tall dog the same color as my beard pays a visit in this improvised pop up in the back of a shoe shop. Accompanied by his owners he glances at the collection. A few minutes later Anja Eli and the dogs are gonna.
There won’t be more visitors that night. We would end up in a “sexy” party a few blocks, bringing back with a happy ballons 🎈
My husband finally picked me up. He couldn’t find what he was looking for. I’m vaguely inabrieted.
For a few hours tonight I was back home in London, with my friends, having a happy time, taking about the weather and shoes and else. Having a glass of wine and lot of laughters with very well dressed people.
Kristell was a bit cold that night and picked my denim jacket Queenie to attend Mimi’s dinner.
“I wasn’t cold charles I just want to look chic for his birthday”
A few weeks later I changed a bit the tone of the communication and this time the popup opening party was fully packed. I had a lot of fun that night. L
