review

Obviously no evening of high class festivities would be complete without some very fine cabaret to entertain us after dinner. Tonight Lola Lasagne held the show together with her usual polished professionalism and brought us the very talented Tina C (marry me!), Dolly Rocket (I once ate a pork pie from between her bosoms) and Rowetta - who seemed to have half the audience on stage stealing her show.

It was lovely that a few more guests added to the gathered throng for this section of the evening - tucking into what looked like a delicious buffet of yuletide yummies (although I didn't have room for any myself after all the Christmas pudding).

A truly sparkling few hours!

The Black & White Masked Ball 2006

The Black & White Masked Ball 2006

Billed as the most glittering, glamorous event of the season - this party had a lot to live up to. The Black & White Masked Christmas Ball was something very, very special.

VaVoom provided the perfect gathering point for the Black and White crowds as we waited for our transportation to the sumptuous Stanmer House party. Many G&Ts were drunk, many bow-ties re-tied, and many final adjustments to costumes were made as our private bus awaited.

Having had time for the Christmas dinner to settle during the cabaret (although I'm not sure that laughing-until-you-cry is the best way to let your dinner settle), it was time for Stanmer House to convert itself into a nightclub for the remainder of the night.

Just as one party ended, so another was building to a climax. The official after-party for the Black and White ball was held at Monkey, where guests joined the revellers to continue the night well into the not so small hours.

Easy as ABF.

As the lights finally came up at Monkey the sensible went off in search of their beds. And the rest of us went back to Vavoom for a final, final nightcap. One for the road, as it were. An ABF, as my mum would put it... an Absolute Bloody Final before bed.
