On the 29th April, my friend Little Miss Spunk was finally wed. I was one of the bridesmaids, and it was a long but fun day. Many photos were taken and it became hard to have a genuine smile the entire time, but I managed to plaster one on. I also managed to pop a seam keeping my neckline together and had to walk around for most of the day ram-rod straight until one of the other bridesmaids bought me back a safety pin from her house.
The only mishap was that we forgot the veil as we arrived for the ceremony. Luckily the house we'd been getting prepared in wasn't too far away. All the best for the two new lovebirds.
Next, on the 8th of May I went to Groovin The Moo. Unfortunately, being a sunday meant that I had soccer one, and ended up playing for the Premier League as well. By the time I eventually made it to the festival, I got to see a handful of bands perform. They were: Art vs Science, Birds of Tokyo, The Wombats, Bliss N Eso, and Cut Copy. My definite favourite for the night was The Wombats, with Art vs Science following behind. It was a freezing night so my friend's and I spent the evening vigoursly dancing in order to stay warm. When Cut Copy entered the stage, we had a pile of clothing in the centre of our group while we danced around it. We had many strange looks thrown our way. Overall it was a fun, fun night.
On the 21st May, Little Miss Chatterbox and I drove to Sydney for the evening to attend the Nephilim Ball. It was being held in honour of YA author Cassandra Clare who was touring around Australia promoting her newest book City of Fallen Angels (fourth book in the Mortal Instruments series). I dressed up as the character Isabelle Lightwood, shadowhunter, while Little Miss Chatterbox went as Lady Camille Belcourt. Hopefully I can get her to send me some photo's that I may add here. But here is one I can share, when I got to meet Mrs Clare herself! I also got her autograph!
I was so excited to meet her, and the drive there and back (we left as soon as the event finished) was worth it. Shame we missed out on the initial nominations for the Best Dressed contest. At least there was a Jace to look at (we did our best not too, he looked too young for us to be oogling :S).
I suppose this concludes most of the more interesting things I have been doing since I last posted. More updates to come, as family life is never boring.
Over and out
