Cake snaps at Club Jolene, July 18th

by Lemon Tart

Ah the joys of Jolene… Like a New Order song playing on a bad day, Club Jolene appears but once a month in the land of Dalston, bringing its shiny concoction of coloured balloons, beautiful tunes and well-quiffed girls to an anonymous corner of the Kingsland Road.

The cakettes really love Jolene. For a start, behind the bar they play a continuous stream of wall-to-wall Kate Bush videos mixed in with seedy-bad strip tease clips from a decade that time forgot. The vibe is lovely, and never egotastic (yes, TMC is aware that this article contains too many adjectives, and the odd non-existent one, but such a night warrants such wordy praise). Plus, the girls are sumptuous and on occasion pull off beautiful blue hair.

So come on Dolly, come on over from Tennessee, and lordy me you will have yourself a darn good time.
