5 Senses
Sight
There will be small tables all around the room with people crowded around each one telephones on each table. The floor would have been tiled in a beautiful design but left grubby from dirty feet coming in from the streets. Small side lights on the side of the big room are high up, producing enough light for people to see where they are walking. At the back of the room in a long bar with mirrors behind with the kit kat club etched into the mirror. The bar is a dark stone colour. Rose of glasses are by the mirrors with spirits decanted into fancy bottles. The men behind the bar and wearing shirts with braces and bowler hats. The curtains on stage are a dark blue velvet and becoming tread bear at the bottom from where they have been pulled backwards and forwards for many years. On the tables were table lamps so the audience could see the numbers they were dialling on the phone. Some of the glass on some lamps have been smashed through and panels were missing but had not been replaced. The walls were a dark burgundy with chips in the wall where the odd scruff and fight had happened. Pictures hung on the walls of previous cabaret dancers who had preformed there in the past. Hanging from the ceiling were stage lights shining perfectly on the stage, in front of these beams of light you could see the fog from the smoke of the cigarettes just sitting in a layer just above peoples heads.
Hearing
The sound of phones ringing from one table to the next. Voices talking in dull tones and the odd laughter. The main band playing their instruments and retuning if not doing performance. The entrance door slamming everything a new person walks into the room.
Taste
The air taste of damp and old cigarette smoke. With a hint of different perfumes infusing together which tried to musk the smell of sweat.
Touch
The stone bar was cold to the touch yet the seats were soft as they were crushed velvet. The tables were sticky but covered in table clothes so didn't really matter. The lights were dusty and hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
Smell
The smells of cigarettes lingers in the air as well as the absinth used in the drinks of the night. The room is hot and producing a lot of body heat so they smell of sweat and peoples perfumes is in the air.
