21/06/14: How do you even start describing Sink the Pink? I have no idea, but I shall try by admitting that even William Shakespeare himself would probably not be able to do the Sink the Pink Summer Ball justice with only words; it was quite simply one of the best events I’ve ever been to.
Before even getting inside we were bumping into friends on the street dressed up in all lengths and colours of wigs and frocks with lashings of lipstick – 6 foot men in 6 inch heels, bearded bears with painted lips and cute guys stumbling over their own foam platforms.
We already thought we’d died and gone to Heaven, then we got inside… The stage was decorated to West End standards and there were staircases galore for the many fabulous to strut their stuff down… And then the Venga Boys came on stage and were AMAZING!
We stopped for a chat with Buffy (complete with crossbow), had a shack out with Artemis (she’s a goddess you know), twirled with Hercules (who now wears heels) and got covered in glitter with a pack of Spanish ‘señoritas’. The night didn’t stop giving and the Troxy was ROCKING! Glyn, Amy and the Sink the Pink team should be VERY proud of themselves!
