Ooh La La Twighlight Vixens!

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Brian Fuller Day, our 23rd wedding anniversary, and Bastille Day, last night we dined at the Left Bank in Larkspur. It's my all-time favorite restaurant, and not just for the food, although I could order the Salade Nicoise every day of the week. The Left Bank blends "neighborhood hangout" with cozy brasserie elegance. It's where the locals go when they want to dress up and still hang loose. It encourages chatty bar crowds and large tables around live entertainment, while tucking the romantic diners into secluded little corners with low light and quiet. The Left Bank keeps things entertaining by promoting the heck out of its French connection. Last night, they honored Bastille Day with burlesque dancers. Sexy, skirt twirlers in fish net stockings and ruffled underpants doing semi-striptease acts on chairs, daring upside-down leg-splits in the air, and feather festooned fan dancing. Oh, the fan dancing! It wasn't Paris' Crazy Horse, but it was a wonderful reminder. Vive la difference! Vive les Vixens! http://www.twilightvixen.com/
