seduction in the city...

Last night's lingerie show by The Modern Courtesan, was hosted by the Mint Leaf Lounge, sister restaurant to Mint Leaf Restaurant on Haymarket. The event was organised in association with the Button Club, which saw an invited guestlist of city types and west end socialites, all happily sipping on Champagne whilst munching on Ajay Chopra's signature canapés.

A catwalk was created through the length and breadth of the restaurant, utilising both levels, which gave all guests and diners a ‘front row’ viewing position.

Entertainment was provided by a live percussionist/DJ, a belly dancer and a video art installation by Dex Addicts.

Enough of the boring details, here are the pictures…
