Last night hubby and I joined in an ANZA (Australian & New Zealand Association) event, organised by the volunteers in the FAB (food and beverages) committee. The evening was a ‘Bollywood Bling’ night hosted in the gardens of The Shophouse up in Gillman Village.
Naturally, it was expected that we would do our utmost to get into the spirit of things and dress the part. It’s quite easy and lots of fun to pop into Little India or the Arab Quarter to pick up a sari for just a few dollars here. I headed in with a few girlfriends and we picked out our favourite swatches of brilliantly coloured cloth, took a quick lesson in how to tie them on, and then shopped for the stick on body-art that the Indian women adorn their bodies with. Some glittery sandals and a cheap pair of glitzy earrings completed the look – the men are easier to dress in their long flowing shirts.
It was a great night, with a yummy Indian buffet, a demonstration of Bollywood dancing by a professional dancer who was in stitches at our attempts to copy him and good company with the Aussies and Kiwis present, each with their obligatory chilly bin (or eski if your from Oz) by their feet to keep the drinks cool. There were a lot more photos taken so when I get some I'll post them - the girls looked great in their outfits and some of the men were pretty spectacular too. Can’t wait until the next FAB night!
