Slavenger - Serves up a treat


Slavenger - great bars of fire

With Wimbledon season there are no shortage of parties to go to and the Slavenger party at Aqua promised to be the party of the year. With a variety of celebrity guest rumoured to be in attendance and hosted at the elgant Aqua this would be a night to remember. 


Unfortunately 29th June ended up being a busy night and I only arrived at the do at around 9pm. By this time the party was in full swing but the bar was quite literally buzzing. After a ten mintue wait I resorted to taking a Mojito hostage from under a frazzled barmans nose - sorry about that!


Unfortunately tardiness tends to be frowned upon by the fashion elite and that Mojito ended up being the last of the cocktails - from that point onwards it was wine or beers. Neither of which are good for keeping a relatively sober head and having content for blogging!


Luckily there was  a series of food going around to sober up the more tipsy amongst us - unluckily at this point I stumbled into Kimber from Made in Chelsea. Dressed in a stunning white dress and with not an ounce of body fat she was definitely inspiration to skip the canapes!

Overall it was a great night and well worth attending. During the course of the night I was lucky enough to talk to a bona fide Wimbledon photographer. Incidentally he was also incredibly cute and had I been more sober I would have attempted to get his number. On the brightside though the wine may have prevented potential embarassment so silver lining. I also met the lovely Hanna - one of the writers for Heat magazine. On a clumsy note I bumped into Amber from Made in Chelsea - quite literally and become incredibly star struck by DJ Tom Crane.




The people
Some of the many glamourous people I missed by being included late Rochelle Wiseman, Jeremy Edwarrds, Dominka Cibulkova, Michael Vaughan and Emma Crosby. If missing all of them doesn't inspire me to get a watch nothing will. 


Food and Drinks
While the cocktails were enjoyed far too quickly there was various red and wine wine available until closing. The waiters dressed as ball boys and girls served up a variety of snacks including mushroom chicken, risotto and cream, mini steak and chips, chicken stew and  raspberry pavlova.


Blonde moment
It was a night of the blonde leading the blonde! Not content with the terrible timekeeping and missing most of the celebs and cocktails not realizing the bags contained gift tennis balls and inadvertently bouncing mine across the room of party people wasn't the most elegant of moves. Also I suspect I may have had a glass too many of wine in that I ended up with a Slavenger branded football which I have no memory of acquiring...
