London Gets Sexy As The SATC Girls Arrive

Top Club
I’m loving Amika on Kensington High Street right now. Fresh from welcoming Pete Doherty and Babyshambles last night, tonight Benji Madden from Good Charlotte is taking to the decks for a DJ set. You know what that means, right? Yes boys, Amika has got Paris Hilton hosting! The gorgeous socialite is following her man around on tour in between attending Cannes film festival next week and launching her new perfume Can Can. I love the crowd at Amika, it’s young and up for it, so get yourself down there tonight and mingle with the A-List. And, er, me.

Top Bar
There’s a great little bar on Brewer Street that I just can’t keep away from – The Enclave, run by Aussie entrepreneur Chris Theodoridis. I mainly keep going back for the too-cute bar staff and the Black Orchid cocktails. I can close my eyes and taste one now they’re so good - they’re made with pernod, cointreau and brandy, so expect your head to pound the day after! However, there’s more than hotties and alcohol that keep me coming back here – there’s a great night called Subterane every second and last Saturday of the month with DJ Jonesy playing really banging commercial dance music. I got so excited by the top tunes the first time I went that I found myself dashing downstairs to spin around on the dancefloor by myself before anyone else could get there! (That’s what one too many of those Black Orchids does to me…).

My Top 5 This Week
Ok pop pickers, here’s this week’s chart…

1. PUNK
This is a non-mover at the top with PUNK remaining my favourite this week. The fashion crowd (that’s me, ok?) flock here on Friday nights for Bangers and Mash.
2. Dolce
Hosting Jay Sean’s single and Paris Hilton’s perfume launches this week is proof that London’s first 6-star club puts on a great party. I love the tacky waterfalls!
3. funkybuddha
Girls, if you’re a wannabe WAG, then Tuesdays and Saturdays at Funky Buddha are the nights to bag yourself a football player.
4. No 5
Another Friday favourite, I love the glamour, A-List crowd and funky tunes at No 5.
5. Volstead
After the success of their Shhh! Disco last Thursday (revellers were handed MP3 players and earphones to choose their own tunes), Volstead has caught my attention again after hosting the launch of Fall Out Boy’s new CD last night.

Bloody hell you've had a good week, John! I can't believe you wrangled tickets to the SATC premiere - and walked the red carpet!

What in the world possessed you to dress like a pirate?! And where can I see pictures?

Hahaha, I wanted to wear something different to all the boring suits that us fellas get relegated to... and a throwback to Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer '07 Pirate Chic seemed the way to stand out!
As for pictures... they're for very privileged eyes only I'm afraid ;-)
