It's that time of year again when Social & Personal, the society bible (in print - Social Dublin is the online bible, natch), unveils it latest Top 100 List. Last night saw a show of the finest pins in Ireland strutting around Lillies Bordello for the announcement of the Top 100 Sexy Legs.
Walking away with the top prize of a fabulous Rimmel hamper was top model Glenda Gilson. Her mother Aileen accepted the prize and a magnum of champagne on her behalf. Glenda flew to New Zealand on Tuesday morning to be with her beau, Lions captain Brian O'Driscoll, who had his shoulder dislocated at a match last week.
Glenda said of scooping the title: “I never regarded my legs as my best asset, but I’m extremely flattered to have been voted number one on this list, it’s a real honour, I can’t believe it. I thought Amanda Byram was going to win it.”
And indeed celebrity Amanda did make the list, along with other leggy babes including actress Orlaith Rafter, Samantha Mumba, Constance Cassidy SC, publicists Sinead Ryan and Joanne Byrne, models Astrid Brennan and Andrea Roche, TV3's Laura Bermingham and Lorraine Keane and Jean Butler, who hosts the Mid Summer Night's Ball tomorrow night in Powerscourt Estate and Gardens, in aid of Forgotten Children. Tickets available from here.
The Top 5 Sexy Legs were as follows:
1. Glenda Gilson
2. Lisa Burke, Sky weather presenter
3. Lisa Harrison, socialite
4. Una Gibney, singer and model
5. Alison Doody, actress
The judging panel consisted of model Katy French, DJ Ivano Caffola, Lillies owner Oliver Hughes, Georgio Casari of Unicorn Restaurant, celebrity personal trainer Karl Henry and top fashion photographer Barry McCall.
Guests at last night's party enjoyed a Jacob's Creek Sparkling Rosé reception and celebrated into the wee small hours. I'm sure a few of them were legless.
