Apparently the street performers have to audition for licenses to perform at Covent Garden, so the standard is very high. It tends to be classical under the colonnade and 'street'- breakdance etc., and circus performers outside (I suppose the former can't get their stuff wet, and the latter need lots of space.)
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a monkey. (It's a living store-front outside Hamely's toyshop on Regent Street. Those guys were so sweet. I just got out my camera and murmured: 'Uh, gentlemen...?' and they struck those poses (the guy in blue even leaned forward to get into shot) like I was the first person to show them a camera all week instead of the hundred-thousenth.)
Oh and- the thinking behind the outfit was that even if I looked different to how you expected, at least I'd get your attention from some distance away for long enough to be well-looked-at. Worked, I guess!
I'm not, I only walked in those for about half an hour, then got on the bus. Then after that I was not pleased to walk any more, though I did have to.
I DID try to dress up at the museum, but the stays were laced too small and I nearly got them stuck just above my boobs (I'm just glad I managed to get out of them.) It takes more than one person (and possibly being not-quite adult size, I think.) Alas, Christie was not with me at that point. Otherwise that would have been cool.
I've realisied that if you come nest time, we can go from London, to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for a day (though we'd have to leave London EARLY because it does take the ENTIRE day) then direct to Bath from Portsmouth Harbour

.... er. I didn't get the job. I wasn't wearing that dress for the interview, either. Perhaps that's why.
Well, I can't walk well in them. I just sort of... perambulate. (Check out my lj entry for 18/March/2009, if you really want an idea of what I consider a high heal... it shows a pair that make me feel like... well, a slightly giddy feeling of being somebody else altogether, seeing the world from that angle. And sufficiently well-made that its hours before I really notice I'm wearing freaky shoes, which is always a bonus.)

It is not a dress I would wear, because I am scared of patterns, but it looks fantastic on you!
And eeeeeeeeeeeeeee dress-up at the museum! There's no way I could resist.
