So yeah we went to
Sparkle (
website is down at the moment 21:23 25 June 06 so I can't link to it) it was fun if tiring. A lot of it was like any other tranny do in that we met up with friends and I got further along in my "tick off" list of "famous trannies" who I have met. I didn't get a proper chance to talk to every one I wanted to and I woke up with an exceptionally bad head.
Details? We had lunch with
Jo Nicholls (
her site is also down due to Fasthosts being borked) and
Valerie S who came over from Helsinki for Sparkle on Canal Street by the Miss English Rose competition. This contest was looking for "real femininity" although what walking around with a book on your head has to do with femininity real or otherwise is a bit beyond me. Highlight for me was the confusion caused by a man jogging through the book balancing obstacle course wearing a neoprene wet suit and carrying a canoe on his shoulder.
The evening kicked off with Champagne courtesy of Valerie, I should also add that apart from excellent English, a dry and witty sense of humour she is also an excellent host!
Rather than talk here are some photos
On the way
Definitely worth viewing the large version this one.
To quote Ms Curran "I got drunk, it was fab"
And I was, if only for a brief moment of time a VIP

Bah... I've got all these great Sparkle posts all in draft and I can't post them because Fasthosts is knackered.
ReplyDeleteHope they get the bloody sites back up soon or by the time I do my really funny joke about the canoe it will be old hat...
I got back and was eager to see what had been posted and was gutted it was down.
