"Perfect for anyone who wants to host a flat party but will not suffer the indignity of a balloon arch. We say this with total sincerity—think of your rug. It deserves peace, quiet, and no sudden spills. Instead, you and your favourite friends should take over the basement pink room at Diddy’s on Mare Street, one of those rare London bars where you can wear muddy trainers or a fluorescent feather boa and fit right in. Think house party without the heavy lifting but still with homely, colourful paper garlands, polaroids of recent parties, and the bonus of enough sateen in that pink room to make Liberace proud." - heidi lauth beasley
