Thanks to all the Mischief Makers who turned up in force, and immaculately dressed in all sorts of Spanish and Latin American regalia, to see in the New Year or NOCHEVIEJA with us. And the highest of respects to our troupe of performers, DJs and dancers who put on a show from 9pm to 1.30 in the morning.
If you have photos of the night please upload them to Flickr.com and mark them with the tag whitemischief – that way they turn up on the front page of this site and everyone can see them. White Mischief has shows in May, October and December ’09 and we’re hoping to arrange one in the early spring too. See you soon!

Thanks to all of you who are coming along to tomorrow’s White Mischief NOCHEVIEJA New Year’s Eve party as part of the King’s Crossover mini-festival. The party is now sold out, though some people may be selling unwanted tickets on our Facebook event page.
Please, please arrive early as the White Mischief party starts at 8pm and if one of the two venues gets full then guests will be directed to the other party. To encourage you to show up early, there is a free cocktail for everyone arriving before 10pm.
Recommendations for dressing up appear below; the venue is Camino, 3 Varnisher’s Yard, Regent’s Quarter, Pentonville Road, King’s Cross N1. Your tickets will also get you into another party hosted by Sancho Panza across the street at the Big Chill House, also on Pentonville Road. Dressup inspirations for our party are below.
Happy New Year!
Dressup inspirations

Filed under Dec 31 2008 show, Dressup
White Mischief’s mantra is that dressing up is not compulsory but strongly encouraged, and so far our partygoers have embraced this spirit with everything from vintage Victoriana to dinner jackets and ballgowns to insane Leigh Bowery-esque costumes, national dress from every country of the world and more.
This is New Year’s Eve so there’s every reason to push the boat out and come as your most fabulous self. It doesn’t need to cost much: charity shop chic and thrown-together costumes are far less pricy than high street fashion!
To make it even easier we’ve compiled a directory of London’s best costume, dressup, vintage, second hand, hair and make-up providers. There are shops here for men and women – follow this list and you can’t go wrong. What about dressup inspirations? Given the vintage Spanish / Latin American theme we suggest Bullfighters, Flamenco dancers, Mexican luchadors, Cuban heels, Conquistadors, Senors and Senoritas, Sancho Panza and banditos, Carmen Miranda, Carnival kings and queens, Tropicana girls…
Arrive early – free cocktail before 10pm

We always encourage Mischief Makers to arrive early at White Mischief shows, mainly to ensure they catch the wealth of entertainment that’s on offer. But on New Year’s Eve it’s especially important to arrive early. Not just to caution against taxi or public transport worries; not just to avoid the pre-midnight rush; and not just to be sure you’re installed in time for our midnight traditional grape-eating ceremony.
No, the main reason to arrive early is that all those getting to Camino before 10pm will be given a free Russian Standard vodka cocktail!

If you want to secure a table for the night at White Mischief’s NOCHEVIEJA party you’ll need to make a dinner reservation at Camino. For £70 you get entry to the White Mischief party at Camino, the Sancho Panza party at the Big Chill House, plus a three course meal, a glass of cava and (if you arrive before 10pm) a free Russian Standard cocktail. No wonder tickets and tables have been going fast…if you’re interested, book right away as they will definitely sell out in advance of New Year’s Eve itself. Read on for more…
