look! an inflatable cube! it’s not every day you see a giant inflatable cube on the Customs House forecourt but tonite is the launch of Russell James’ new book Retrospective. “kristin davis will be there from sex and the city. oh and canapes too” adds the awesome darcie and so helen, jen, lorraine, shez and i enter the inflatable cube and up the red carpet


shez and i sneak in a quick photo on the red carpet


and we are then greeted with a line of waiters bearing trays of vitamin water cocktails. wooo so colourful! we have been given instructions that asking or taking photos of kristin davis was not allowed so sorry dudes no pics of her but hey look food!


peking duck pancakes


scallop ceviche


jen and i in front of the mini igloo inside! it was so cute it housed the dj and the awesome singer


mini burgahs! teensy tiny deliciousness in bite sized morsels but with fail beetroot


when this giant platter of lamb cutlets arrived you could see all heads swivel and all conversations were paused while people started following the waiters around. and they were good. so very good. tender, juicy and not exactly the most ladylike thing to eat at a party filled with non-eating models


bowls of beef stew with mash


and a blackboard where we tagged our blogs


hohoho

1. yum yum. i’d eat a whole tray of those cutlets, or try at least.
