CITIZEN REPORTS ON CAPE TOWN'S OSCARS PARTY,
Weekend Vibe
Saturday, 13 March 2010, p.6

MUCH excitement in the air just before the GLAMOUR OSCARS PARTY- some guests stayed up till 3am just to watch the ceremony.

Even though no South African-connected film won anything this year, we celebrated on home soil, donning our designer gear and sunnies for the red carpet affair at The Table Bay. Hair guru Tony Martin and his attractive associate Cader were on hand

in the afternoon, using sponsor V05’s products and guests sat on perspex chairs (sourced by the Cape decor company for the party). Later on, we all assembled on the red carpet where

Isabella de Villiers was interviewing for Glitterati. Isabella, who was once mistaken for my daughter (if I had a daughter, she is exactly the one I would like!), told me that she has joined the Jupiter Drawing Room as a producer. Former model Sam Pegg told me of the time she went to the Oscars when she was 17, and Leonardo di Caprio (19) spent the whole time talking to her mother! Cougars rule! 
 

Lady Kitty Spencer arrived in a beautiful cleavaceous leopardprint dress from Errol Arrenz which combined fresh beauty with sophistication (Errol is having a private viewing of his Winter 2010 and dUSUD collections at the Charlotte Rhys store this Tuesday and Wednesday from 7am). I was dressed by Francois Rail of Carducci Woman and am eternally grateful to The Table Bay for going to the House of Monatic's studio in Salt River to pick it up for me.

Nicky van der Walt needed his Sunglass Hut sunglasses (another sponsor) as he had spent the last four days celebrating his 30th birthday, culminating  with a party at Caprice. We sat with Andrew Barns, his wife Rachel and brother Gary and his pretty date, and  wild cheers went up from us Noisy Oysters when the Mischa wines were mentioned by MC Jeannie D. 

She struggled to get our attention as we were diverted by the big-screen action behind her.
