Last night I was invited to the Corinthian Club in Glasgow
for a charity event hosted by designer Christian MacLeod in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. The theme for the evening was the colour Blue with the hashtag #blueCMcampaign. The entire
venue had been transformed into a blue palace – blue lights, blue drinks,
sweets which turned your tongue blue and even some blue hair! It was a smurf’s
dream.
The event was quite the affair, beautiful people in
beautiful outfits in every room. It was Glasgow’s answer to a Hollywood premiere,
well minus the A listers and the paparazzi, but glamorous none the less! There
was champagne, a saxophonist and enough hairspray to destroy the Ozone layer.
Most importantly there were many opportunities to
raise/donate money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. There were some excellent
raffle prizes including a holiday to Dubai, a diamond necklace and rather
bizarrely an oven. Unfortunately I did not win any of the prizes, not even the
oven, but my money did go towards a good cause so I’m not bitter. Much.
Overall it was a great evening for a great cause and it’s nice to get dolled up every once in a while. It’s not every day you get to put your ball gown on in Glasgow! Congratulations to Christian MacLeod for hosting the event, I am sure the money raised will make a big difference towards supporting and helping those affected by cancer.
wow, looks like a fabulous night! do you know how much was raised? such a worthwhile cause
