 Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2006 11:00 pm Post subject: Queen's Birthday Ball Review |
 |
|
This is probably the last big bash (read need a ball gown) for me in Seoul. The British Association put on their annual Queens Birthday Ball.Usually this place is full of corprate high-flyers, diplomats and their wives. But this year there were a lot of english teachers there as well.
Hot
The men. But I'm always partial to man in a tux or dress mess.
Finally winning something on the raffle. I got a free manicure and haircut at Toni and Guy.
Low heels. I can actually walk today.
Dessert
The white wine they were serving. Damn that stuff went down like water.
Not
The bar not allowing us take bottles of booze back to our tables. Open Bar I think not.
Following from that, over attentive bar staff. One minute your drink is there, the next they've whisked it away.
Where the hell was my Lamb? Duck is nice and all, but it's all about the lamb.
Weird grass things...
oh and sneaky photographers stealing my camera and sneaking up on me. |

Basically a club for wives of rich expats see here. But like the other associations they put on good parties. |

My first thought seeing the Grand Hyatt ballroom all decked out again: 
My second thought about this ball being the first one I've missed in 5 years:
I almost got a plane for 20 hours....
What was the theme this year? (they've gotta do James Bond!!)
Same Chanel-for-the-ladies/bottle of scotch for the men again?
