So while in Knysna and after I could no longer almost feel
my feet from all the walking, we saw yet another bookshop. One that we had been
to before and from the previous experience I also knew that they wouldn’t
really have anything that I would like. But it was like fate sent us there. The
woman that owns it then tells us that we have to go next door, which was a
bistro. She said even if we didn’t order anything, we simply have to go in
there and see what Paul, not my Paul, the owner, did with the place.
Reluctantly and at a very slow pace we mover towards the
bistro.
WOW!!!!
Walking in there was like walking into an entirely new era
and country all added with lots of camp, as in homo over the top. You know the
style I like. Hehehehehehe. We spoke with the owner, well one of them, who is
willing to thinking about expanding to Cape Town. This place would so work
here. Downstairs is a small bar area, and alcoves in which to sit. And a
carpeted staircase that you will never be able to get up and down if you are
fucked drunk. At the top is more seating areas plus a food and bar station and
the bathroom. On the one side they are busy building a little theatre area for
cabaret acts and the like.
We got to talking with the lady and told her about Paul
being a belly dancer. The people are Pagan friendly and we spoke for ages about
what all we could do with a space like that and how we could fill it up with
people, night after night. Now I do not know what the outcoma of all of this is
going to be but if you are ever in Knysna, you have to go there. The people are
great. The incense greats you at the door and walks with you throughout the
entire place. Beautiful yet bizarre art adorns all of the walls and when you
ask them “Why?” about a certain piece, the answer is simply: “Why Not?”
Saree’s are draped and folded to transform a normal room
into a Arabian Burlesque area that makes you want to stay forever. I can go on
and on about this place but the fact of the matter is that words and photos
cant really describe it. You have to go there for yourself and step into world
of magick!
Mwah!!
