It wasn’t a good Friday, it was a bloody great Friday. One of the only days (bar Christmas Day) that the pubs and clubs in ballygobackways
The good Samaritans at that bastion of cool, Urban Outfitters, had a brainwave to host a monster bash in their store on Good Friday evening. The perfect way to warm up proceedings I thought, as did about four hundred others, such was the massive attendance. Always a handy way to gauge fashion trends, the guests at an Urban Outfitters shindig have their fingers on the pulse.
Celebrating Good Fashion and Good Lifestyle, the guests cooled down with Coors Lite and got hot under the collar with River Rock Emotions mixed with quality Stoli vodka. Music was provided by the likes of Porn Trauma and Philth on the decks at Carbon music (where do they come up with those names?).
Blonde scribe Marisa Mackle was there with her NBF, singer and party girl Jeanette Cronin, of You’re A Star infamy. The pair met while appearing on the TG4 reality TV show Ni Gaeilgoir Me. Jeanette is now full time resident in Baile Atha Cliatha so expect to see/hear much more about her!
Also looking effortlessly cool on the evening were Jonothan McCrea (off to Barcelona this week), Killian O’Sullivan (still clicking his heels in RTE’s Celebrity Jigs ‘n Reels) and Channel 6 presenter, and Eddie Irvine ex., Michelle Doherty (who raced straight from the studio).
Model turned author Dylan Townsend (little brother of super star Stuart) was on form and fresh from the joys of having his first book published. TV presenter Kathryn Thomas looked fab in a wrap around number, no doubt planning her next excursion abroad. Roxanne Parker, model Ben Redmond, Nicola O’Riordan, Sean Montague and Brendan Scully and stylist Aisling Farinella were also in attendance.
And nearly everyone I spoke with were off to bigger and better parties. I guess we were all in some sort of Good Friday agreement.
