Entry 407 - In which Adrianna has a social life
…and gets very drunk.
So last night was probably one of the fullest days of my life. It was full of glamour and high life and things that I am so so not used to.
It started out easy enough, I slept in and spent most of the morning building virtual reality goggles for a photo shoot with artist/director Ben Charles Edwards. http://www.bencharlesedwards.com
Picture of
So we (Alex and I) finish it in the early afternoon and head over to Beach Blanket Babylon (http://www.beachblanket.co.uk/shoreditch/) to do the shoot upstairs.
Aaaah I’m so excited to see how the pictures come out. I was the model, and it’s for his show that’s going up at the Moma (http://www.mmoma.ru/en/) in Russia. I think the theme is something along the lines of user interface with the internet, and how it gets dirty fast, and when is too much, too much? Or something like that.
I was wearing these friggin goggles the entire time and couldn’t see a damn thing, but it was hella fun. There’s also a chance that the picture could be put on the cover of a couple of pretty well known magazines (I:D & Dazed and Confused). So, fingers crossed for that!
Right, so I finish the shoot and go and meet my dad for dinner in Angel. He’s in town for the week on business and it’s been so nice to see him ;A; He’s seriously like the best dad ever. Baw, I guess I forget how much I really miss my family over here. I used to be I’d see him every month when he was over on business, but it’s been like 6 and it’s just really nice ;; ♥
After that, I took his suit case back to mine to hold it for him while he’s in Paris (I got to take a taxi home!! I never get to because I can’t afford it!) and got ready to head back to BBB for The Mad Hatter’s Ball. (http://www.beachblanket.co.uk/shoreditch/events_madhatters.html) Now the only reason I was even invited to the party was because of Ben who is friends with the owner. It was really nice but omg these people are on another planet.
You know how in tv shows and shit, people will be out partying and there's always that one table in the back where all the wild shit happens? they yell the loudest and jump on the chairs and smoke inside and go apes hit crazy? and you think "jesus christ.... but they have the money to afford to be able".
It’s trashy as hell but you can't help but stare because they don't have to follow normal people behavior. That was the table I was at. Idk it's like i knew these people exist. I've seen MTV, but to actually like be there. Ffff. Puts your world in perspective. I mean no one taught these kids manners either. You do not dance on tables in a fancy restaurant, even if you are fucking the owner who happens to be old enough to be your father.
It’s a social circle I’ve always been vaguely aware of, but never a part of…
Now every so often I get to sit in and observe, and it’s awesome, but I don’t want to get into it much more than that. I’d rather stay at the civilized people’s table and drink expensive champaign with the owner and the people whom I actually like.
Now the party was like, a hat thing, but I don’t suit hats, so I went as Alice. It’s cheating kinda but whatever. They all called me Alice and a few people (nice but thick as hell) thought I worked there and was one of the 'characters' for the night to entertain guests because I guess I looked the part so much. /o/
I’ve got a quick shitty webcam shot
But I won’t get the actual pictures from the party for a few days. They had a photo booth (www.bigbigday.com) set up and Alex and I took some pictures! I’m so excited to see how they turned out. Seriously, go have a loot at their back drops, they’re fucking amazing.
Aha I had so much fun though. We stayed until the placed closed down and then headed upstairs into the private room to hang out for another hour or so. Ugh one of the bouncers totally hit on me… but it could have been worse I guess. And fuuuckies I got so so so drunk. I got home some how, a pour spout from a bottle of JD in my purse, and then I drunk skpyed Aly? But I was seriously fucked up I couldn’t see straight.
I remember getting a bagel.. And then camping out in my bathroom for a while (mixing drinks and bagels is bad apparently) and then pulled myself into the shower and then into bed. But, I feel fine today save for my back that I think I pulled somehow and I think I bruised my ass?
