Horrible High Tea 🖤Coming soon! To bring post apocalyptic to gothic imagination to life, through immersive dining, sensory art & unapologetically strange experiences.

Created by Doll Outré Couture — the artistic studio behind our costumes, props, photography & design. Ana at HHT remakes, reworks and reinvents — clothes, food, objects, spaces — into dark, surreal creations. Always exploring, photographing, often with her daughter Amelie.

“I’m going to be Frank here — even though my name is Ana.�Frank says I’ve been suspiciously quiet, but it’s only because the kitchen and the studio have eaten me alive. Recipes are being tested, ruined, resurrected, and then reinvented again. It turns out that choosing favourites is impossible when every idea wants to become a monster of its own.
-
Frank insists I stop borrowing library cookbooks, because apparently ‘this is getting ridiculous,’ but Ana is ignoring him and giving herself a deadline anyway, next week.
-
As for the games… here’s one to test soon, Magenta Mannequin is featured here, practising her auction stance (ok Photoshop assistance from the past!). Ana recently watched a real-life house auction for research, so now she’s preparing to become a ‘creative auctioneer’ in dystopian times. Wish her luck. Frank already has his doubts.”
“Frank, game on. Consider this your official warning: more oddities are coming and to be gone with you! Watch this space.”

Hurray! Well, my daughter is asleep, there’s a small amount of paint & noisy stuff to finish this coffin prop (my part only covering with velvet).

Next, this velvet enclosed beauty is to stand it upright & attach it to a table

Screen covered in two sections of pianola roles, divides some of the space here. I covered this a few days ago. The screen bought a few years ago, second-hand.

See previous post for update to all, Ana x

Update! Essay style!
I had a meeting with my mentor and I’m now focusing on just sweets, not savoury as too much. All is coming together, very excited but more time is needed. I want to get this right. I’m going to now have the coffin upright, so it’s utilised for photos, (part of the games too) and more room in the space. I need to secure it, as it’s really fxxking heavy! I’ll attach it to the table (in pic) that's been in the family for a long time. The coffin was actually a cabinet (gifted by an amazing soul), but wait and see who will be in it soon haha!
I also bought some darker claret velvet to line the interior once done.

On a personal note, I’ve had issues with a piercing (vertical labret) and now under control, but was literally driving me insane the past two weeks! And partner, he must love me… I’m in my element mixing sound with video right now. As part of my degree in uni, one semester was in audio production with sound recording. The teacher was incredible, as he was totally out there and it was a lot of fun. My love for adding sound to video was founded from there on.

So to follow - Some poetry within in the video on a screen I've wanted to cover for ages, thanks to mashing up two vintage pianola roles, with some creepy music to go. I'll try to be more present, I'm constantly making/photographing things, but yeah. Any questions, comments, reach out! Ana x

‘Don’t be a fu***it at the shops and go squishing the f**k out of all the avacados. If it feels a little soft, you’re probably good to go.’
Quote from ‘Nat’s What I Reckon, Death to Jar Sauce’ - Nat Bartolo

Re above, I had a dodgy one last week that looked like 20 people had a go, or one zombie.. anyway. What have I been doing?
Trying, tasting everything! The food part is the last stuff to do, ex work on my goth and zombie dolls.
-
However, today, I received a batch of black small pie dishes, going to try Nat’s ‘Me, Myself and Guiness Pie’. As it is incredible, however for single serves with other.
