Last week I was fortunate enough to represent Colour Me
Beautiful at the Prima High Street Fashion awards, sponsored by Comfort. My
colleagues – Ann, Franca, Beth, Jane and I were offering ladies a mini colour analysis...
in the dark (more or less)!
It was all very glamorous, but more importantly the event
was in aid of Breakthrough Breast cancer charity – a most worthy cause.
Despite the poor lighting we had ladies queuing to discover
their best colours ably kept orderly by the lovely Lisa. As you’d expect from a
‘dressy do’, many women turned up wearing black and so we gave lots of advice (and
a free lippy) about their best alternatives. We, as you’d hope, provided the
example of how to wear colour donned in several shades of red, a dark and
stunning blue, and a lovely light primrose! And at our dinner table, the lovely ladies
from Thorntons had all cleverly chosen a shade of ‘teal’ – a colour which suits
every colouring (in varying depths).

Although we were there doing colour, and even once we’d
finished working - we couldn’t resist checking out the ‘style’ on show too, and
gee did we see some styles... some good, some not so (as you’d imagine).
The catwalk show was very entertaining and the perhaps the biggest
cheer of the night went to a topless male model on skates! Following that, the
awards began and we guessed, agreed and disagreed our way through over 20 categories
including Best Jeans, Best Supermarket Brand and Best Customer Service. In fact
the only category which was missing was Best Petite range, so I’m campaigning
for that to be included next year given my stature!
The presenter of the night was definitely the cheeky Louis
Spence who sashayed and joked, and got the biggest ‘oooh’ for some risqué
comments.
If the race for a photo was anything to go by Rav Wilding
was the man of the night, just pipping Chico and Brendan Cole to the title! (Can you spot them in the collage?!)

The word of the night - used constantly by event host Jeff
Banks, every star presenter and TOWIE cast member - was... ‘Amazing’. But, to be
fair - given the company, food, entertainment and goodie-bags, it actually was a very fitting word!
