Tick- tock: yes, no?
Feet throbbing: tick. Head throbbing: tick. 5am to bed: tick. Hmmm, it’s the morning after……
Venue #1: Fashion Night at Villa Oxygene.
Formula for any great party: Great music = important, beautiful surroundings = perhaps, good dance floor = maybe, beautiful people = subjective, FREE booze = an absolute MUST!
The night started off with lots of beautiful people, actors and fashionista’s for a party organised by international lifestyle designer “superier” Richard Nilsson who we later caught up with for a quick chat. For our pure pleasure there were two fashion shows taking place which may have been more enjoyable to the male audience?!
Also on the offering was an exclusive lingerie show by Nichole de Carle. Added to that was a DJ, percussionist and some interesting “exhibitions?” which I managed to get a couple of photos of. Sorry about the quality – was having a little trouble with my camera last night!
With drinks costing almost €30 a pop here, as soon as the shows were over it was straight off to the Croissette to check out some of the happening “sponsored= free drinks” parties on the beach.
Venue #2: Middle Men After Party, Mandala beach aka Le Chacha Beach (for the festival)
Middle Men (film featuring actors such as Luke Wilson, Kelsey Grammer, James Caan). Oh la la, the swanky Parisian club Le Chacha has been teleported to Cannes and transformed the Mandala beach into Le Chacha Beach for the festival. This party was full of gorgeous and glamorous people, lots of Champagne, wine….. and from what I heard later on the grapevine seemed to have been THE party of the night. (perhaps the effects of the Champagne and the film reportage began to take hold!
Venue #3: Agora premiere after party, Carlton beach featuring Rachel Weisz. Admittedly she is even prettier, younger looking and more fabulous in person!
Then it was flat out dancing/drinking for several hours with my favourite DJ spinning the tracks and just having a blast.
The party finally finished around 3am though a group of us decided to party on at The 7 as we were still pretty revved up!
So yes, my head is pounding, yes, my feet are throbbing and yes, I didn’t get to bed until the sun was almost up. But was it worth it? TICK , TICK, TICK J
