When the invitations to take part in an intimate cocktail making class with Dita von Teese were sent out I bet the RSVPs came back quicker than you can say 'Cointreau Privé' – which is the newest, time-limited, members only cocktail lounge* in London, styled after the art deco home and ambassadored by the owner of what must be the slimmest waist (22in, can be laced down to 16.5in!) in the world.
Meeting Dita was pretty cool. Not only does she look as perfect in real life as in pictures – tiny, dream proportions, expertly make-uped and dressed (Dolce and Gabbana, I asked her) – but she's also funny, soft spoken and relaxed, talking us (with the help of a flashy bartender) through the in and outs of preparing the Citrus & Spice cocktail** which was so delicious that I just kept drinking… becoming happier and chattier by the minute, leaving a perfect evening... (& now hoping there isn't a secret 'bloggers who cannot cope with alcohol' list created somewhere.)
1. Sarah 4. Jen from a A Little Bird Told Me 5. Dita's pretty heavy corset dance dress 7. oh look, Dita and I, chatting like good old pals.
*Cointreau Privé, 215 Piccadilly, London. Open 29th November to 17th December 2011. Guestlist only. Bookings possible through the Cointreau Privé website.
**Fresh ginger, a very generous amount of cointreau, fresh orange juice and a squeeze of lemon.

It was such an amazing evening! Lovely photos Sabine. Was great to see you again and meet Sarah! x
Amaaazing! So pleased you posted this do I can visualise. You all look stunning.
So jealous!!! I love Dita VT!! She's amazing.
I can't believe that you got to meet Dita! She is so fab! You are looking gorgeous as always, Sabine!
Ah Sabine that is so fabulous that you got to meet her! Looks like such a fun event. My RSVP would have been sent immediately as well.
Hope you had a great weekend, sweetie :) xoxo
That is so awesome! I love how you captured the night so well. And I do adore your outfit. Gorgeous!
Fab shots. Dita looks so poised all the time. Thanks for posting these Sabine!
Lovely photos! Does Dita drink? I can't imagine alcohol and a 16.5 inch waist are compatible.
Northwest is Best - I think she does enjoy the occasional drink. She told us that she really likes to serve a cocktail to her guests, but she doesn't drink on her own.
Wow just look at you and your NBF. Way to go Sabine. Xxxx
Oh WOW!! She is stunning in that lace dress - beautiful photos and I love that studded skirt of yours!
wait what! no way, how very cool is this.
You ladies look absolutely gorgeous! I bet this was so much fun.

You and Dita both look fantastic, as does that red-lit corset dress! What a treat of an evening. Cointreau is one of my favorite ingredients in a cocktail or even in a chocolatey dessert ... mmm.
BTW, loved your comment on wild academics! I was a campus brat myself (both parents professors). And even though they both also held posts outside of the university, they were never happier than when they were engaged in boisterous, scholarly jousting with their colleagues! xx
What an amazing opportunity!! You looked perfect for the event!
