Vitamin Water Hearts Russell James

| 13 Comments

Blogging has taken me to new heights.

Guess who was rubbing shoulders with the A-listers at last night's VitaminWater Hearts Russell James party?

Amongst the crowd was Russell James himself (launching his photography book), Erin McNaught, Leona Edmiston, Michelle Bridges, Sophie Faulkner, Laura Csortan and plenty more hotties.

But my highlight was indeed exchanging a quick conversation with Kristin Davis, also known as Charlotte from Sex And The City. It all happened rather quickly. Mid-eating, I spotted a chalkboard at the back of the room. Naturally, i felt inclined to graffiti and just had to plug this blog out there to the cool crowd. One thing led to another, and soon enough, there was a group of bloggers (Imedla, Sassybella, ChocolateSuze, One Bite More, Grab Your Fork and myself) loittering at the back. We must've been too busy with nerd-talk because it took a while for us to notice Kristin sitting right behind us, just centimetres away! So yes, I had my photo taken with her -keep on scrolling to see the not-so-stunning pic of me :)

Food-wise, they fed us well. Bay Leaf catering offered a hearty winter array of stews, lamb cutlets, Peking duck pancakes and more.

This SATC fan will be racing through every episode soon.
