L A Cartier has been preaching the gospel, and winter romance is her favourite sermon. Everyone feels cosy now, cuffing season in full effect, hot chocolates flowing, matching pyjamas loading. But when January hits? Suddenly your man is “busy,” “tired,” “working late,” “sorting things out,” or whatever fresh excuse he thinks still counts as creativity. And here’s her classic test:What day are you going out for Valentine’s?If it’s 14 February, congratulations, you might actually be the leading lady.If it’s 15 February, Ladies… you already know the answer. Secondary school timetable energy. Afternoon shift romance. Backup dancer vibes. Cartier isn’t here for the delusion. She’s here for the clarity. Which is exactly why you need to be at Red Flags & Roses, Friday 14 February 2025 at O2 Forum Kentish Town. L A Cartier will be in the building, mic in hand, ready to call out the excuses, the lies, the half-hearted effort, and the seasonal love frauds. Get your ticket, bring your friends, and enter Valentine’s Weekend with your eyes wide open. No excuses. Cartier wouldn’t accept them, so why should you?
