You'd think PR people would communicate with each other and not hold their parties on the same night. I was dashing around Dublin in the rain like a maniac trying to keep up with the events of last night. Luckily a driver was always on hand (yeh, I blagged a lift wherever I could!).
Running late, as usual, I just about made it to the premiere of Legally Blonde, the new Reece Witherspoon offering. Review coming soon to a ShowBizIreland near you. En route to Renards for the premiere afterparty, I popped into the Morrison for the launch of the newest magazine to grace Irish newsagents - Gi - or Gay Ireland. A new venture by John Ryan of VIP fame, and Melanie Morris of d'Side, I'm sure it will do well in capturing the 'pink pound'. Among the attendees quaffing champers were Samantha Mumba, Julian Benson and my companion for the evening (everyone's fav TV-gal-about-town) Caroline Morahan.
Back on track and to the pink and fluffy Legally Blonde party which consisted of yummy food (not bloody sushi for a change), cosmopolitans and manicures for the girlz. Spotted in the throng were Sonia Macari, Anna Lavery, TV3's funny weatherman Martin King and Olivia Morahan of WHO (Caroline's big sis). Poor Olivia fractured her wrist a few days ago and was putting on a good show.
Final leg of the night was to Lillies where there was a members evening, themed 'magic'. We were treated to the amazing talents and trick of Jean Michel Jaares son, Marcel, who is a wonderful magician. The Jameson cocktails flowed (didn't know you could make cocktails out of Jemmie!). Those enjoying were singer Namee Coleman, Gavin Lambe-Murphy, Dara Conlon and actor Gabriel Byrne, among others.
As the rain poured down, Caroline and I did our own disappearing act and vanished into the night. More shenanigans this weekend for sure - hope you have too - see you on Monday.
