Gemma & Matthew’s 1930s 1940s birthday party | The Mason’s Arms, London

{1st Dec 2012}

Last night, Gemma, a freelance makeup artist and her friend, Matthew, celebrated their birthdays with a joint party at The Mason’s Arms in Kensal Green. Gemma celebrated 30 years whilst Matthew was heralding his 40th year so naturally, their chosen theme for the night was 1930s and 1940s! It was so much fun, all their guests got into the spirit by dressing to suit those eras. Natalia, Matthew’s girlfriend, surprised him by commissioning the amazing Michaela, Tobias, Livia & Kester from Swing Patrol to perform some Swing dances and teach their guests Swing dancing!

Sophie was one of the lovely guests and hers is a very interesting job, she hand sculpts costumes, realistic looking body parts and other bespoke pieces from silicone for the entertainment industry.

Everyone was so beautiful; love how this couple held hands whilst they waited for dance instructions from Livia & Kester.

Livia & Kester showing the guests Swing dance moves; Livia explained that Swing dance was mainly developed between the 1920s and the 1940s. The concentration on the guests face is so funny.
