Social engineers behind the Veuve Cliquot Ball got the mix right: Sun, sand and a good mix of seasoned partygoers and pretty-young-things created a buzzing party on Tamarama Beach set to coincide with the opening of the annual Sculptures by the Sea .
The heady atmosphere was confined mainly within the linen tent, as guests barely managed more than a cursory glance at the sculptures ….. the most interesting artifacts on display were the gorgeous attendees. Taking advantage of the perfect conditions to flaunt their own thoroughly sculptured and spray-tanned bodies, their orange coloured Veuve Cliquot thongs juxtaposed beautifully against the white linen garments. It was indeed ‘Glamarama’.
Similarly, the beach volleyball courts erected nearby didn’t see much action either, as guests put greater effort into scurrying around inside the tent and catching up with familiar faces whenever they were spotted.
Two of the most eye-catching guests managed to catch each other's eye, and astute observers may have caught a glimpse of well known models Buck Palmer and Cheyenne Tozzi, engaging in a game of footsy with each other. As one does!
Many other guests shared said models' fun attitude throughout the evening as many orange labeled bottles were emptied. People were happy to sip from the most exquisitely designed plastic champagne glasses - knowing they were at least imbibing the real stuff. Indeed, such was the shared ebullience of the guests that a full busload of people moved on to nearby Bondi Icebergs to continue the merry making.
Of course, I wouldn’t know what happened here, having already overstayed my welcome by a few hours.
