The Party Crasher
"Not sure if anyone’s said this to you before…" she ventures "But you look like Katy Perry…with better bone structure."
So there we have it, guys. The time has come to bid adieu to both 2009 and my festive Party Crasher blog - it certainly has been fun…but before I depart into a depressive January slump and sob into my clutch bag, there’s still time for a quick NYE update. Hip hip hoorah!
Much like my fellow recessionistas, my New Year's was spent at a friend's house party.
I don’t know about you, but the idea of paying £20 to get into a pub I can happily walk into for free any other night of the year makes both me (and my wallet) cranky.
And what better friend to spend New Year's with, than on who owns the holy grail of ALL New Years Eve parties: Beatles Rock Band.
Suffice to say that Andy’s flat is now my top party destination. At approximately three minutes before midnight, I was still abusing my drum sticks and convincing both my boyfriend and my best mate Esther that I was Ringo incarnated – except with a far better outfit.
Polka dots and big-bow hair-band were the order of the day – until a fellow party-goer narrowed her eyes on the sofa opposite and ventured:
“I’m not sure if anyone has ever said this to you before…”
(They have)
“But you really look like Katy Perry…with better bone structure.”
(I don’t. Although I did kiss a girl that night, and I think she liked it.)
Drinks were duly mixed (I seem to recall a steady stream of beer, cava and humbug vodka, but don’t quote me on that) and by the end of ‘Get Back’ I was almost certain that 2010 was on to a good start.
As I reluctantly switched on BBC to welcome in those Big Ben chimes, I knew I was certain 2010 was on to a good start. Now, if only I could sort out my Katy Perry hair…

From: Funnygirl Date: 12/09/2009 - 11:15 amI reckon go with the futuristic pirate theme, just wear the usual pirate stuff but with metallic/PVC style materials - so maybe a sequin eye patch, and if you're feeling creative - make a robot parrot out of silver card!
