Butifarra, Vermut and models in Barcelona...

Last night saw us head to the model casting for the next face of the ButiClub, a Barcelona members club for appreciators of fashion, art and the finer things in life, especially the Butifarra sausage




I don't think there are many places in the world that would combine the three above together, but in Barcelona it makes sense.




The model casting was taking place at the spiritual home of the ButiClub, La Pineda charcutería, which had the tiniest red carpet in the world outside. All of the action was being filmed by the French TV channel Canal + so there was quite a buzz in the tiny gothic street. We couldn't all squeeze in to the shop itself but a lovely chica kept bringing us all glasses of Vermut and pieces of Butifarra to keep us going.




We were able to watch some of the action on the TV screen in the shop window.




The full line up of the models came out to the red carpet outside for some photo opportunities with the owner of La Pineda at the end.


The party carried on afterwards at the Blondie Bar which was a short hop, skip and jump away. We had to zoom off somewhere else but it looked like it was set to be a lively night.

Only in Barcelona and that's what makes it so fabulous! Love that tiny carpet and the sausage display, which, even as a vegetarian I can appreciate the artistry! x

I do feel a bit guilty as another vegetarian friend got a bit 'ugh!' because of that picture. I think I forget living here that not everyone is used to seeing pork everywhere...
