Influences
Errol Flynn riding Katherine Hepburn piggyback into Mae West's pool, while David Niven plays piano accompanying Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller and Slim Gaillard, The Nicholas Brothers tap-dance on the diving board, and everybody sinks champagne cocktails. Ava Gardner, Rosalind Russell, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Grace Kelly, Vivien Leigh and Rita Hayworth are having an all-girl seance in the attic, in their silk pyjamas. Fred Astaire is upside down dancing on the ceiling in the kitchen.

The original, and still, of course, the best, 1920's-40's jubilee of Golden-Age-Of-Swing glamour, elegance, beauty and sophistication...
Since Dec 2004, thousands have tripped over their patent shoes, torn their silken gowns, slightly spoilt their perfect hairdos, and yet generally conducted themselves with exquisite serenity in the face of:
EXCITEMENT THROUGH BEAUTY! BEAUTY THROUGH GLAMOUR! GLAMOUR THROUGH ELEGANCE! ELEGANCE THROUGH THE FINEST CLOTHES POSSIBLE AND THE BEST ROOM YOU'VE EVER SEEN! FINENESS THROUGH MANNERS! MANNERS THROUGH WILDNESS! AND WILDNESS THROUGH EXCITEMENT!
Enough.
So, for the best-dressed, most glorious, glitziest times, with the hottest music from Charleston to Swing to Jazz and Rhythm'n'Blues, in
"The most beautiful room in London" (Cecil Beaton)
