Paradise Found

The Printworks Gallery at the Morrison was transformed into a tropical paradise recently with top florists Appassionata (who were formerly with McQueens of London) shaking their magical design flair upon the venue for the Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers launch party.


Not only were we surrounded by exotic blooms like cassia, banana flowers, vanilla flowers and red ginger, but mixologist Paul Lambert of Diep Le Shaker created three bespoke Rainforest Flowers Cocktails for the occasion. Beauty therapist Gillian Fox was on hand to offer Indian head massages and the LA Make Up Academy were in full makeover mode for a few lucky girls.


Throw in a few scantily clad models and, yeah, it was as close to paradise for many (although I used the shampoo a few days later and you could easily recreate said paradise in you own bathroom at your own convenience).


Among those I spotted at the party were Norman Pratt, Tamara Gervasoni and Roisin Tierney – Crowe (who has just recently joined Slattery Communications), DJ Mo Kelly, Keith Gill and Nalini Nathan, Olivia Morahan, Gina Kelly and Anna Lavery with Nick Costello, who are busy with the up coming Irish premiere of Mission Impossible III, which will be hosted next week.


Tom Cruise will most likely not be in attendance.
