Nedbank Golf Challenge

Yesterday I had the pleasure of assisting at the opening party of the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City. The car ride there was so much fun and judging by the high number of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Range Rovers and Maseratis impatiently overtaking us and whizzing by we knew that this was a really prestigious event. By the time we arrived at the palace gates of Sun City the golf tournament had already started. I'm not a huge fan of golf so I didn't watch the tournament for too long. I found better things to do with my time before the party like taking a refreshing swim at the lovely sea blue pool. After that we had to start preparing for the burlesque themed party. It was a  ravishing affair! We were dressed to the nines with wigs in every colour you could think of, a rainbow of boas woven loosely around the our necks with garters that were perfectly attached to sexy nude or fishnet stockings. We were dressed as sexy sailors, flirtatious french maids, juicy jesters and sensual singers and our costumes were so tight that they made girls with ironing board like bodies look like Beyonce. I wish I hadn't left my camera at home just so you could see how gorgeous everyone looked.

Our job was to get the party going but most of the party goers didn't need our help in having a good time. The party was held under a bright moonlit sky on the beach sand of the Valley of the Waves. The alcohol was flowing free like a tempestuous river and the food was so heavenly I felt like God himself had made it. There were performances by different acts but the one that stood out for me was the a dancing group whose costumes were like the ones that are worn by the dancers in the Black Eyed Peas video "Boom Boom Pow" except that they had laser buttons that outlined their entire bodies and when the music started they shot up laser beams into the navy blue sky so that it looked like there were these celestial beings up in the sky that were dancing in sync to the humanly forms in front of us and in case people thought they weren't being theatrical enough they had fireworks explode into the sky whenever there were crescendos in the music.

It was a riveting experience and one of the highlights of my year.
