Costume Drama

If all goes well, my next trip to London will be in November to see The Heiress graduate.  So I held my breath as I read about this exhibit, five years in the planning, at the V&A.  There was a little happy dance going on at my house when at the bottom of the article it stated the exhibit opens October 20,  *squeal*.

  5. Mary, Better sharpen my pencil and start an itinerary!

    Verity, Too bad it wasn't in June. There has been some talk on the Virago forum about a get-together and I'm jealous...hmmph!

    Jo, I was lucky enough to catch a hat exhibit in 2009. Makes me wonder where that piece is that Beatrice wore to the wedding....

    Martina, My daughter laughed when I asked her if it would be appropriate to wear a fascinator. That should make her good and worried!

  10. Oooh I remember when they first discussed this when I still worked there - they plan 3-4 years ahead. Me and Naomi are going to try and use our connections to get tickets to the opening party - it will be fantastic no doubt!

    Back in London so soon! Tea and cake date please!

  11. Rachel, The place probably hasn't been the same since you two left! Some 'behind the scenes at the museum' stories would be a treat so I will cross my fingers.

    Definitely tea and cake! Mary and I have already talked about Two Temple Place if they're still offering.

  12. I haven't heard about this. Sounds like it will be a wonderful exhibit. I used to love wandering around the museum when I lived in London.
