Girls Night In

Girls Night In



The Girls night in was a huge success as Killarney had a sudden influx of gorgeous women driving around it’s streets looking for our location.

We kicked off the evening getting to know each other and enjoying the Cape Flavour of Laborie wines and Champers which was delivered, might I add by a ruggedly handsome, Sean, complete with a British drawl. He seems to have made the Dolls quite shy I had to practically beg them to get a glass of wine from him.... Now if you know the Dolls, you’ll know that wine is the last thing you’d have to offer twice. The Leborie Shiraz was the most popular choice amongst these women of class.

While revelling in the bedazzling Honey jewels on show we took a moment to get to know each other (and ourselves) a little better.... It was great to have the founder of She Speaks in our midst. Check out their blog at  http://shespeakspoetry.blogspot.com/



Dinner was served thanks to House of JASC Catering and the potato salad was a hit and disappeared in no time, made with the love and precision that only a mothers hands could. Ever so health conscious, Portuguese chicken and Garlic-lemon fish were also on the menu.

As the evening drew on we eventually settled to watch the deeply emotional “For Coloured Girls” Tyler Perry hit us hard where it really hurts. Spectacularly heart wrenching with the deep earthy poetic cries of women expressing emotion from almost every corner. When we parted ways we each left feeling nourished, strengthened, supported and albeit slightly drunk.

The Glamour Stilleto Run

Glamour Stiletto Run

So, being the adrenalin seeking, danger loving daredevils that we are. We channelled Jennifer Garner in Elektra and took part in nothing short of an extreme sport. We took part in the Glamour Stiletto Run. So donned in our highest stilettos’ and movement friendly clothing, we braved the masses in Rosebank. 10 at a time we took to the bumpy and unstable 100 meter track, pushing and shoving determined to win that coveted prize. 10 thousand Spackaroo’s to spend on Shoes... Oh and a blackberry of some sort. But like every extreme sport there are dangers. And just as one of our dolls Phomolo Moatlhodi did us proud by winning her race, Tumi Diseko took a tumble ruining what I hope were Mr Price Tights. (After all they did sponsor us)



By the end of all the excitement we’d removed a stiletto or two and limped back to Liquid Chefs for some well deserved cocktails, wine and simply beautiful cakes and biscuits. High tea with no actual tea involved. That’s my kind a tea party.
