Parties and events

I don't know if going to events has always been one of my favorite activities or it's just brand new. I am thinking that I have always liked to be invited. Since I was a child. School birthday parties were my "best". I enjoyed the people, the food and the fun. This cosy type of gathering brought me joy, comfort and pleasure at an early age. Growing up, I liked it even more but in a different way. It was more of a social event. I had to dress up, have my hair done, put on some makeup. Jolly good! Since I joined the networking scene in London, going out to "events" became a part of my job, and during my freelance days, nearly a part of my career. Networking was fun but also hard work. I had to introduce myself, behave, avoid the excessive use of alcohol and eat the tasty canapes in moderation. I had the chance to meet influential and very successful people - and rarely under weird circumstances (well-known TV presenter was sharing the same ladies room, a not so common location to make contact). I don't, of course, deny attendance in extravagant and "thematic" parties, very attractive, luxurious and posh in London, the capital.

As a new resident of NYC since September 2006, "events" slightly changed context. I became far more interested in the content rather than the business or the success of people. I focus my attention on the creative aspect of the event, the location, the colors. And it's fun! A new angle in my new, full of invitations and RSVPs life!
