I've just come back from a most hilarious, London-stylee party. These things make me not want to leave the country, but luckily I realise it was great fun because I never actually attend these do's, so when I do it's super and novel. One of my favourite flicks, The Wizard of Oz, is being re-released this winter in a new digitally re-mastered version and because of its new technicoloured wonderfulness, it's being shown in cinemas up and down the country. Hurrah for big fans and big gay people everywhere! The evening was hosted by the curzon Soho, and sponsored by some lovely bakery called Kondit&Cook who, it turns out, make utterly scrummy cakes and confectionaries. The Wiz was funnier than the last time I saw it (not all that long ago) - perhaps because it was introduced by a tall man with a beard, dressed in the tallest red glittery shoes i've ever been lucky enough to see, a floaty green dress and suspenders. Exactly what a girl wants to see after a terribly long, boring and frustrating day at your desk. Work worries flew out the window and the campety camp madness began! Man in green dress and scarily high shoes went on to introduce the new girl playing Elphaba in Wicked from January - tres exciting! a celeb in our midst! who we asked to sing, but refused. Then there was the show (I still can't bring myself to look directly at Her Scary Green Witchiness.. I definetely saw that film too young) and then along came the party and treats. I was most excited by the treats, can you tell from the stream of consciousness?! Surprise gift boxes, containing a perfectly square yellow cake with Wiz related icing on - mine was of the Emerald City, although Dan confidently told me it was a Christmas tree before we realised they were all film-related. ha! - a little yellow Lego block (highly confusing until it was explained by manly-tranny in green dress that Lego piece could be swapped for a free drink!) a gingerbread man with 'Jolly' iced on his chest (i think the evening was called 'Jolly' but still cant figure out the relevance) and a little box of biscuits. Going home pressies rock! Oh I do love The Wizard of Oz... it's so magical and fantastical and has a whole bizarre moral message to it.

Meanwhile, it's v.late and I must to bed but I'm all whirlwhinded from seeing my favourite film up on the big screen, it was fantastic. I wish all the Yayas could have been there, it's totally our film, seeing as we 'did' it so well on Purim. Perhaps I can persuade whomever I end up cajoling into marrying me to have a themed wedding.... ?
