Viva Las Vegas
Or rather in this case just plain old "Vegas", the club night. John and Ali introduced me to this, and I'll definitely be back! We went in Edinburgh, and the night was held at Ocean Terminal shopping center... Surreal, but it actually makes an excellent venue!
There will probably be more pics at John and Ali's site and the Vegas site (in the VIP room) soon, but here are my offerings in the meantime....
|
Of course for anything as glam as Vegas, one must have appropriate attire. Jo was going to go as a gangsta, but kindly agreed to "go as a girl" so I could have one of a limited supply of white ties!
|
|
Neil, complete with slicked down hair and a center parting.
|
|
Ali, resplendant as a gangster.
|
|
Neil counting the greenbacks to pay for our dinner...
|
|
... and counting again!
|
|
All six of us went for dinner at the "Zinc" restaurant at Ocean Terminal (top steak by the way!), then the club just kind of started happening around us. Excellent.
|
|
The Vegas Showgirls get the dancing started.
|
|
Big Band sounds encourage the punters onto the dancefloor.
|
|
I am disconcerted to discover that I have a cigarette holder behind my ear.
|
|
Putting Neil out of his misery?
|
|
Kirsty - nice eye sparkly things. I'm not allowed to use glue, let alone on my face. Ruth doesn't let me, I always stick things together that I don't mean to.
|
|
Kirsty and John tripping the light fantastic.
|
|
Neil trying to come up with a solution to third world poverty.
|
|
Kirsty and Jo watch a small hamster walking across the dancefloor.
|
|
Neil enjoying something.
|
|
Jo discovers that her cigarette holder can be used as a straw.
|
|
The Vegas Showgirls on stage...
|
|
...with Neil watching them ?!?!?!
|
|
I am so boring that Neil has actually dozed off. Oh dear.
|
|
Trippy or what! Jo in some sort of drug-induced hallucination?
|
|
Jazz-hands!
|
|
John with a headband and feather stolen from Jo.
|
|
John trying to pull Neil back down after he was carried off by a particularly large bald eagle.
|
|
Jo started the surfing competition...
|
|
...Neil upped the ante...
|
|
...but Jo made a strong comeback!
|
|
The boys towards the end of the evening.
