S&P Sexy Legs

The crew at Ireland’s society bible, Social & Personal magazine, once again stepped up to the plate and delivered yet another of their legendary parties on Wednesday night. Guests showed up in summer finery to enjoy West Coast Cooler cocktails and pour over the latest Top 100 list – Sexy Legs!


In association with Horse Racing Ireland, the party certainly got hearts racing as many of the people on the list were in attendance and happily showing off the very reason they made the list …. their pins! First past the post to claim the sexiest pair of legs in Ireland was blonde hottie Lisa Duffy, who also graces the cover of this month’s magazine.


Lisa, who is married to ex. Corrie star Keith Duffy, was delighted with her accolade and beat off some tough competition from the likes of Sharon Corr, Amanda Byram and Jean Butler.


The terrace of Howl at the Moon was the hang out spot, such was the balmy evening. Among the throng were Astrid Brennan, Sinead Ryan and Joanne Byrne (both excited with their new TV show which premiers on RTE this week), Amanda Brunker, Libby Ryan and Gavin Lambe – Murphy, who is finding his new wine bar venture to be “hard work, but so worth it”.


Tamso Doyle of HRI was taking time out of her busy schedule to attend. She has a hectic weekend ahead at the Curragh with the Audi Stakes on Saturday and the Budweiser Derby on Sunday, two premier social events in the racing calendar. TV presenters Lucy Kennedy and Kathryn Thomas looked fab and are enjoying their summer break from our screens. Soon-to-be TV presenter Glenda Gilson was in top form and looking forward to her forthcoming debut on new music channel Bubble Hits.


Also there enjoying the hospitality of publisher PJ Gibbons were Nadine Wai – O’Flynn, stylist Ellie Balfe, Leanne de Cerbo (who has just joined S&P as Style Editor), Ross Robertson and Naomi Carroll, Richie Pearson, Cindy Cafolla and Richard Kavanagh, Andrew Rudd and the beautiful Jayne Blight, who had just jetted in from Sicily, via London, earlier that the evening.


Many of the party posse continued on to Renards and Lillies (where Take That were hosting their after show party) to put their sexy legs to good use on the dance floor.
