all the world is a stage

Recently the company i work for had it's annual dinner. And this year's theme was Movie Icons. The moment this announcement was made and the theme was revealed, I can safely say everyone went into a frenzy over what to dress up as and how to outshine each other. I didn't want to spend so much time thinking, so I went with James Bond. Simple yet dashing.

I really didn't want to go but the curiousity to check out the costumes and to see people dressing up as their alter ego would be decidedly fascinating. Kind of our own Halloween. Also I wanted to laugh at all the wannabe stars. And boy, were there many of them!

I made my own grand entrance. Fashionably late. I was shocked at the wide array of costumes and colours!! Amazing! I didn't have time to pose with everyone cos I had to do my social rounds as is obligatory for the social butterflies.

There were Trojan warriors, Snow White, Grim Reaper, Tarzan, CatWoman, MoulinRouge girls, cowboys, vampires, angels and so many more!

It was fun.

First up, Mr.Bond himself.

This is Bond and a heroine from Devdas.

Bond and Marilyn.

It was a fun night. But not as fun as the after party. We went to a club called BED. Utterly fascinating place. It's located underground. But there were no beds around at all, so i don't understand the name. So anyway, one of the girls in my group had unknowingly attracted the eye of an admirer and he allowed us the use of his credit card!! The best part is we don't even know who the fella is. Until today. All we knew, the waiter kept on coming up to us and insisted we buy more drinks cos the fella was more than willing to pay. We opened bottles, did shots, and lots more. Needless to say, no one could walk straight after that.

Extreme fun night.
