The glitz, the glamour, the choir, the flame-throwers, a larger-than-life comedian, Foxy, Busty, Booby, Calamity Clive and Rogering Rog? Yep, you guessed it, another top night was had by all at the most prestigious awards show in town – this year’s DMAs went down better than me after a couple of bottles of Lambrini.
Of course, being the dashingly handsome Chris Combemale’s favourite squeeze does have its advantages you know and I was once again mingling with the VIPs of the DM industry on Table 8, right next to the stage. Mind you, those giant Roman Candles they let off at the beginning played havoc with my LBD and hair-do and I looked like I had already been ravaged round the back even before a single award had been handed out.
Not that the DMA’s very own Ed Owen appeared to mind, he was highly complimentary about my Herve Leger…even though I was bursting out of it most of the night.
Still, I did feel a little sorry for the lass from PrintWeek who ended up getting a little extra white wine sauce over her dinner…well, a whole bottle of it to be precise. But obviously she is a woman after my own heart; she lapped it up like it was a lovely portion of jus.
Elsewhere, Foxy and Booby (that’s Lida’s Victoria Fox and Nicky Bullard to the uninitiated) were having a whale of a time; I even spotted old McKelvey chewing the fat with them. Sorry girls…
Others were notable by their absence, where was the gorgeous Mike Cullis and the equally sexy Ian Bates? I saw Mike Cavers wasn’t there either.
As the evening drew to a close, it was time for me to dish out the inaugural Busty Balls Awards. It was such a tight one that I had to put it out to two lucky fellas, Calamity Clive and Rogering Rog of course, who were very grateful recipients.
So grateful in fact that they insisted on taking me out for dinner afterwards. I must confess that that part of the night is all a bit of a blur, but suffice to say I didn’t quite make it back to Easy Hotel Victoria. Room 1812 in the Park Lane Hilton was a far more attractive proposition, and I am sure you will believe me when I tell you, Clive and Rog gave me a marvellous Overture. Roll on next year…
