Guilty Pleasures - the ultimate cinema party

Party like it's 1989 on Saturday night at this Madonna-themed cinematic extravaganza
1/3
Olivia Williams24 August 2012

Get into the groove and strike a pose at this screening of that gloriously 80s Madonna film - Desperately Seeking Susan.

Not for the faint-hearted, the six-hour party starts off with the film screening, followed by unabashedly eighties dance performances, magic acts and a dash of cabaret.

You can sit down in the stalls for the film, but then it's dancing until the early hours from then on. Not to worry - there will be plenty of food and cocktails to keep you going.

Paying homage to the Queen of Pop herself, you are cordially invited to dress up in your finest disco number for the 'downtown NYC discotheque' part of the evening. If you're a bit shy they'll help you out with a dressing-up box full of questionable clothes, while go-go dancers should provide the inspirational moves.

However, the highlight of the evening might well be the Madonna look-alike competition, in which cabaret stars will fight it out for the accolade of Queen of the Madonnas. Who will take the top prize - cowboy Madonna, virginal Madonna, bondage Madonna? Anything could happen.

If you're up for revelling in the best of the decade that taste forgot, then this is the bank holiday night-out for you. Guilty Pleasures is not for standing around looking cool, it's about doing your best Madonna impression with gusto.

Go out and do Madge proud.

Guilty Pleasures Cinema Party is at the Troxy on Saturday 25th August 2012, from 8pm – 2am. Tickets are £10 guiltypleasures.co.uk/london
