well, me?
I dont think that sounds very good. But there is no other way of putting it.
Not to get your hopes in thinking my day to day life is exciting. (Its not. Yet.)
But yesterday marked an exerpience that is building on hopefully better things to come.
A. Celebrity. Event.
and I do love a bit of celeb schmoozing. Not that I've ever done it before but isnt that the dream of an avid Heat/ Closer/ Look reader?
I started writing this post like a diary and then realised how gay I sounded so instead I'm going to write all the bits you might actually want to read rather than bragging about the mundane.
Arrive at the Illamasqua flagshop store around 9.30. I'm late. Great start. But its fine the models (who were incidently very quiet and so boring I might have forgotten they were there had they not been so tall and wearing see-through dresses)
are still in hair and make up.
Once we're done some of us black cab it , some tube it to the boat where we find a place to finish off any styling ready for the live shoot on the top deck.
Top deck is very rocky. Note to self : lower heels might have been a better idea.
Everyones yapping on about Danni Minogue and how isnt it just FABULOUS DAAAAARHLING that shes got this doctorate of style award thingy.
Yes. It is. But I cant stop thinking ,
CHRIST SHE LOOKS OLD IN REAL LIFE.
And skinnier.
I should have had a good look at her plate during the lunch to see if she was actually eating.
But, also - she is actually very very pretty with piercing blue eyes (but Danni seriously what was going on with your hair? It makes you look like a man.) BUT HER SHOES WERE LAAARVLY - I have some pictures (see below)
Had a bit of a chat with her about body confidence and style and blah blah blah all that and then she started telling me about one of her best friends Gok and how hes an advocate of body confidence (I love how she refered to him as her friend Gok as if we wouldnt know who Gok Wan is hahaha oh Danni you babe. )
Found the author Kathy Lette prancing around being very 'lets do lunch, my people. your people yepyepyep mwah dahling mwah.'
Felt the need to corner her and tell her I'd read her book 'The Llama Parlour' when I was 12 to which she replied 'sweety, you must have had a very new age mother' ... 'No. I would just hide it under my matress'
Then Kathy Lette started getting all celebrity fakey.
I got bored and walked off.
Very disappointing meeting someone you admire and realising they're a total twat.
JO BLOODY ELVIN WAS THERE - editor of Glamour Magazine.
(looking much taller than I had imagined)
Had i knocked back a few champagne bottles I might have had the confidence to talk to her but was far too in ore of her fashion status to do anything about it.
If there is a next time? Maybe...
The rest is boring, moved the fashion shoot downstairs into this funky old library where we weren't allowed to touch anything or it might crumple and DIE.
Eventually when I see the outcome of that I'll post it but for now heres a few snaps I took on my phone.
PS - well done for making it to the end of this post. I know its kinda long.
