Queen for a Day!
Spitalfields Street Party - Esther & Adam Stanhope, Visa the Queen and Angela Hartnett OBE

Queen for a Day!

Handbags, glad drags and chef’s doggies!

Our Spitalfields Street Party was….MAD. Crazy, funny and yes, that is the amazing Chef Angela Hartnett OBE (my neighbour), with her award winning doggy Betsy (2nd the pageant!)

And that’s Visa in pink, looking absolutely gorgeous darling.

I was dressed like The Queen for one day.

That’s my grandma’s original bag and gloves. (RIP Hilda)

And yes, I happen to own a QUEEN-like blue frock coat, so I was sporting ‘the royal look’ at the Spitalfields Street party.

How was your knees up?

Did you dress up?

For the first time ever my other half, Adam, decided to scrub up for the party in top hat and tails. He looked like a lord.?We really went for it.

It was extraordinary to see the reaction of neighbours, passers-by and a few confused tourist visiting Spitalfields in East London.

Loads of people asked to take our picture as we stood outside the Ten Bells Pub by Spitalfields Christ Church. My daughter told us we looked like a “tribute act”.

She was soooooo embarrassed….

“people will think you got paid to come”

There’s something about an ‘outfit’. Do you find it gives you a layer of confidence?

I’m going to dress up more often. Try it sometime. See how people react to you when you’re in costume. Hilarious.

My clients often ask whether clothes makes a difference to how people see them. They want to know if they come across as charismatic with more presence if they dress like a leader.

Oh yes. Of course dressing for the occasion matters. ?How does the old adage go?

“Dress for the position you want” ?

Maybe you could try a crown sometime. ?Hmmm.


Whatever makes you hair-pey! ?(That's "happy" in royal language)

We had a ball.?However one day of being queen was enough.
