ABSOLUTely gorgeous

I'd forgotten how good I was at playing Fuseball until the other night at the launch of the latest addition to the ABSOLUT vodka family, ABSOLUTE RASPBERRI. With fire eaters, a human statue and a distinctivly red vibe, Lillies Bordello was feeling more like a bordello than ever before. apparently even the guests were commenting on the aroma of raspberrys permeating the building, a result of the fresh raspberrys used on the night. It was intoxicating, in more ways than one.

The cocktails were specially selected and mixed by ABSOLUT barman James Murphy and were the Raspberripolitian, the Raspberri Blimey and Raspberri Red rock. Sampling the delicious creations on the evening were makeup artist Derek Carberry, publicists Aoife Donohoe and Corinna Field, stunning model Violet Ibanez (she could easily be a Bond girl with looks and a name like that).

Rock girl band Fair Verona, who featured in last weeks Sunday Times, took to the stage on the evening and entertained the buzzing crowd with their edgy vibe. after all the party food had been consumed there was even desert, with a massive cake in the shape of an ABSOLUT RASPBERRI bottle. Kudos!
