Pictures of ladies in frocks

7th March 2005

In aid of Breast Cancer Awareness and the Terrence Higgins Trust, renowned fashion designer Kevan Jon hosted a fine, boozy ball in Elland, Leeds last night.

Kevan made a fantastic dress especially for Emma to wear to the ball, and I wore my five quid jacket bought from a Crouch End charity shop. I’m proud that I was the only chap wearing trainers (thats ‘Sneakers’ for you crazy Americans), but not so proud of today’s hangover.

If you can draw your eyes away from these images (Taken by Emma - nice work), then you may care to read more at the base of the page.

All guests were treated to goody-bags containing such wonders as popping candy, glowsticks, and Performa johnnies, plus a vast three-course meal and free champagne.

At 9.30pm, on came the models, treating us to ten years of Kevan’s designs - all amazing. He seems to have a knack for taking material and adding new texture to it through folding and looping (or whatever it’s called in the trade), and the stuff is pure elegance.

I realised that it is not possible to look at catwalk designs without also admiring the legs, bottoms and boobs of the models - you just can’t help ogling. Oh well, I was a bit pissed.

We also had our photo taken for Yorkshire Life magazine. Woo, blimey.

Today I have a nasty hangover, and was a miserable bastard this morning. Sorry, Emma. Three hours on the rail networks haven’t helped either, although Sunday dinner in a sunny, prosperous-looking Leeds was rather good.

Anyway, pictures of ladies in nice frocks. Thought you’d all like to see these - who cares what I write?
