Cannes Do

by Cocktailer @ 27/06/07 – 01:41:33

It was a blast. Hard work, alcohol-fuelled, hot, stressful, bonkers, but brilliant.

Went to Cannes for a week with work to the Cannes Lions international advertising festival (the Oscars of the ad world). We stayed in a beautiful villa with a wonderful pool and I set up lots of interviews for my guys there.

We didn't win as much as we were expecting/hoping, but we did good nonetheless.

Meantime, we went to meetings, went to parties, went to the Gutter Bar (the answer's in the question) and had a BBQ pool party of our own. Joy.

During the pool party the land just over the way caught on fire - in a dramatic raging manner. Of course, we just kept swimming, eating and drinking. After all, what's a girl to do? Fire trucks came and went laden with men in helmets. All exciting stuff.

And they call it work.

  Oh I know. I tried to use this sentence in Cannes and people just laughed:
  
  "It's gruelling stuff trying to work in this heat".

Yay. Looks great. I'd have had no fun in your shoes in my knocked up condition though. Am gagging for a glass of fizzy ... did you drink lots of fizzy?

Please say no ...

  Any which way you slice it, a lot of it was drunk.

    Baby bulge is ... erm ... bulging. I am a bucket of lard. It's official. Haven't got any pics yet, but will take comedy ones & send them on forthwith. Have been updating blog with pregnancy woes which mostly revolve around spots, trumping, expanding and snoring. It's very glamorous being up the duff ... less yummy mummy more scummy mummy ...
