We seem to be have done nothing other than go out on the lash lately, last night being no exception. I knew it'd been a wild one when I woke up to find various bits of my outfit randomly scattered across the house, a velvet glove in the bath, a false eyelash adhered to the fridge and a trail of bangles leading up the stairs.
The friends we met yesterday are an odd group which include a hyperactive 75 year-old, my late Mum's hairdresser and a sheep farmer. Needless to say that our nights out always end up bizarre affairs with drink-fuelled karaoke sessions until dawn, arguments and rows, tears and tantrums, mislaid belongings, jaunts to strange backstreet pubs and someone having to travel home in the boot of the designated driver's car.
Last night was no exception, two of the group stormed off in a huff, Jon lost his hat, there was a dispute with a waiter and I danced with a hunchback in a tracksuit to The Smiths'
This Charming Man.

At least I didn't wake with a hangover as we're out again in a bit. More booze, more curry and undoubtedly, more fun.

See you soon.
Wonderful in green, my dear Vix.
ReplyDeleteWe are about to open a bottle of Rioja wine. Would you share a glass with me???
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You and your shenanigans Vix! I am so glad I didn't end up like that on Friday night after consuming a bottle of wine... at home!!
ReplyDeleteI do love your outfit, though. And the smiths? Good track. I'll be featuring it in Lola 2; along with "You Came" by Kim Wilde! :)

p.s. new blog post. Well it's not new, no-one's bothered to comment on it! :(
How DO you do it?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you should be writing a novel. With characters and experiences that you are chalking up, it should be a GREAT read!
This is going on a tshirt:

ReplyDeleteI can only aspire to be as decadent as you, dahlink Vix, with a false eyelash stuck to the fridge!
ReplyDeleteOur local is filled with the most divinely delinquent pensioners, who behave like merry teenagers - I want to grow up to be just like them!
Sounds just like your sort of crowd!
Wishing you love and luck this Christmas, Vixen and a New Year that's as fabulous as you are...

Ooo its GREEEN!! J'adore! Sounds like you're having a blast, keep it up and hoist a few for me!

Well, it makes perfect sense to me that at some point one peels off an eyelash and sticks it on the fridge... has the other one turned up yet?
ReplyDeleteAmazing adventures...
Just a bit worried in case the passenger-in-the-boot ever gets forgotten when everyone's piled out... x
I would love to be there to witness the fun debacle!
ReplyDeleteThis time of the year is a lot of fun and it seams to bring out the crazy and loud in all of us.
Green is a great color on you!!!
Have a great week,
Before I die, I must have a night out with you. And get glammed up at yours, raiding the jewellery box (your clothes wouldn't fit, sadly).

ReplyDeleteVix, you are a legend!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me chortle, oh that trail of clothing and accessories left throughout the house... At least there weren't any strange people asleep on your floor next morning! Imagine waking up to the sheep farmer and the hunchback helping themselves to toast...
Much respect to your stamina, and your beautiful frock and all that goes with it! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hahaha!!! You are so bloody mad! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like my kinda girl on a night out. Never be a boring one with you! Always look cracking too my dear!

Love your description of randomly scattered garments and false eyelashes discarded like clues in an Agatha Christie!
ReplyDeleteYou look so glorious in green...but with BARE arms? Really? In THIS weather? Makes me want to pop over with a welsh wool blanket to wrap you up in.
It may be cold over there but dang girl you are leaving a hot mess behind, love those mornings when things make you go huh? oh yeah :) You look so beautiful in the scout green dress, you are dripping with sexy! Love the gloves and all your chunky bracelets. That purse from Liz is the bomb! I want one with Peetee!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's to many more nights like these!
Oh Vix you look simply gorgeous in that green dress.
ReplyDeleteTee hee I think we have all had nights where an outfit becomes house decoration. I have woken to a dress on the floor that looks like a cocoon in which I've crawled out of and I assure you it's know butterfly lying beside it.
Happiness to you Love V
Wow, what a phenomenal night... Times like this I wish you had a video blog lol. At least you're getting plenty of opportunity to wear all of your gorgeous outfits. Xx
ReplyDeleteYou naughty Vixen! I do hope Jon found his hat!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy nights that bring all sort of randomness and weirdos out of the closet are THE best!
That dress is divine.. I'd even go as far as saying it could very well be the perfect Christmas dress with its festive green colour!
I hope you have another wicked night! xxx
You are such a glamourpuss Vix. I think we should all come to you for a night out that we wouldnt forget" x
ReplyDeleteReminded me of the R Whites 'secret lemonade drinker' ad. Watched it on YouTube...made I laugh!
ReplyDeleteMr B
Dancing with a hunchback... I hope it was by the light of a silvery moon or a flickering light, at least. Wondering why the eyelash was on the fridge and using my twisted imagination to think of unseemly reasons. You look lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou look Gorgeous in green! Such Beautiful accessories too!
ReplyDeletelove that green.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful time once again! It's not a party until someone stomps off in a huff, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the green gown and the bangles; so fun and festive! And the poodle clutch bag is precious beyond words.
xo, Anita
Vixcita,

ReplyDeleteDamn it does sound like you had a rather interesting night. I love the poodle clutch, it's fabulous.
You look AMAZING in green! Sounds like one heck of a night out - I love the fact you found a fake eyelash on the fridge. Also - huzzah for being hangover free!

ReplyDeleteWooowee! Green does your body good! And the fluffer puppers, so cute!

I want to be you when I grow up! You look fabulous, you have so much fun & your escapades always make me laugh. Sooo glad I came across your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper clutch bag, it goes so well with the dress. Nights out with you and your chapter sounds like a wild time and I'd forgotten the joys of having someone stuffed into the car boot and the fun you can have with not letting them out - until they threaten to pee/vom on the carpet!
ReplyDeleteHi Vix! lovely dress! love the green on you, i was looking at the other post you in the white dress, you look like a greek goddess!
ReplyDeleteMy days are pretty quiet, no crazy parties...no booze, can't- the GP gave me narcotics for the pain, so better stay clear of the wine!
Lots of friendship and hugs!
Ariane xxxxx
haha, sounds like a wonderful and wild night to remember. You look glamorous and elegant in this beautiful green colour Vix. -xo
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar! I found the entire content of my handbag littering the hall from door to bedroom yesterday. Phew, nothing left outside the door!
ReplyDeleteMy nights out sound pretty boring in comparison. I love the green colour of the dress, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot, I'm assuming you all made up to do it all again another time.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant purse. Really like your outfit, mega glam =)
Wow your nights out sound like a hell of a time! Loving the green and black gorgeous.
ReplyDeletexx
Your night outs sound like a whole heap of fun! Did the missing hat turn up? Did the people who stormed off turn up? It's better than Eastenders!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely Christmas and New Year if I don't manage back here to speak to you again before The Big Day!
Love and hugs from Scotland!

Tee hee! - your nights out sound like a scream! Love the old world glamour of your velvet gloves and slinky gown!
ReplyDeleteSo glamorous in green....you made me so laugh with the false eyelash!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh yes, bangles on the stairs, only one shoe in the bedroom, mascara on your face and all your money in the bottom of your bag... a good night out! xoxox
ReplyDeleteTales of such wonderful times! You really do live life to the fullest and this I admire greatly.
ReplyDeleteI am quite shamefully embarrassed of my behaviour the weekend just gone; I got so drunk I woke up with no recollection of the night before. My poor Mr had to carry me to bed and somehow managed to get me back to the room in one piece. The events in-between are quite a blur; apparently I was laughing so loud the whole hotel heard! The drunken tweet I sent you sure was spontaneous; I hope you didn’t mind xxx
