Say 'Hey' To Millie Sykes

By Sophie McComas, Contributor

There are many ways to describe Millie Sykes — iconoclast, chameleon, very cool — but we like to think of her as a glittering whirlwind of creative energy.

All Cocktails Are Gay

By Harriet Leigh, Head of Hospitality

When we sat down to come up with some special cocktails for the Mardi Gras season we realised we had a real issue. Because I believe all cocktails are inherently gay. They’re delicious, they’re beautiful, and they have little fancy hairdos in the form of delightful garnishes. So gay.
