Drink Pink

It's official, pink is the new black. Mateus Rose hosted their annual Drink Pink Party in the Glass Room at Dublin’s Ocean Bar last night. The summer soiree dusted a pink hue over Charlotte Quay as members of the media and invited guests donned their best attire and sipped crisp Mateus Rose from champagne flutes.

A distinctly understated affair, the party provided the perfect antidote to the soccer mania gripping the city. Ireland 1 - Italy 2, for those of you who care. Actually, now that I mention soccer, have you seen the video clip of German player Sabastian Kehl's, ahem, tackle?! Go forth and Google.

But I digress. Last night's summer sounds were provided by the gorgeous DJ, Mo Kelly and mini treats were provided by Ocean Bar. Among the guests were Frances Winston wearing “icon chic” complete with matching Marilyn Monroe shoes and top. Man-about-town (or should that be Europe?) Gavin Lambe - Murphy sported the most desired accessory of all - a Mediterranean tan.

A perfectly chilled out evening guests watched the sun set over Charlotte Quay until the match was over and gridlock returned to Dublin - well you can’t have everything.
