A visit chez Boudicca as they prepare to do the Christams tree for the V & A Museum

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I am in London for the British Fashion Awards which takes place tonight. It was my first trip on the faster by 20 minutes Eurostar which arrived in the St. Pancras International Station, which looks quite lovely except they forgot to open a currency exchange and there are no cash machines yet, but hey, looks great.

If you are in London from December 10th through the holidays, visit the Victoria and Albert Museum and see their beautiful Boudicca Christmas tree, what follows is the work in progress from the glass eyes to the angel wings and the mini corset.
