More from the masquerade

The absolute House of Masquerade seemed the perfect place to try out my new camera and I was lucky enough to rope a couple of others into the vlog too. As the photos probably show, it was an amazing evening, fuelled my ridiculous amounts of booze and topped off with sparkly clothes, great music and lots of sweets. My only regret is not meeting more bloggers after bumping into Miss Woo on the way in and pretty much attaching myself to her for the night, whether she liked it or not!

Apologies in advance for both the truly hideous quality of the vlog. While I do have an amazing little camera - Kodak Zi6 which was very kindly sent to me - the rubbish editing software which comes with my laptop crashes every time a clip is moved or cut. Thus a 6 minute video has taken several frustrating days to make and has been impossible to edit in any way. The sound is also way out of sync, though I think that creates a slightly drunk feeling in the viewer which actually captures the night quite well. Basically, I need to get a Mac.

I must admit that it is a very strange experience to watch oneself getting increasingly drunk over the course of an evening. It's quite funny how at the start I'm moaning about the lack of free drinks, and by the end I can hardly speak properly, am trying on half the shop and spilling my drinks on the floor. Oh dear.

As this new trend for vlogs seems to have kicked off a spate of negative commenters - I know I'm a terrible drunk, I know it's unedited and the sound is awful and I KNOW I have wonky teeth. I am British. It's what we do.

"I know I'm a terrible drunk, I know it's unedited and the sound is awful and I KNOW I have wonky teeth. I am British. It's what we do."...this sounds just like something i'd say, except i'm not british.

InstantVintage said...

I think it's amazing. I love the boozed viewing experience. Call it creative editing. It works. LOL.

May Kasahara said...

LOVE IT.

Sal said...

You and Miss Woo both look positively glam.

Dressed and Pressed said...

Hee hee! I'm just glad the sound's so bad. I'm pretty sure that at that point I was talking utter bollocks. And look what you did to the lovely Miss Woo. Bad, bad influence, you are! BTW, I also ended the night with two booze tickets tucked away on my person. I'm keeping them as souvenirs.

lulu said...

I also get annoyed when they've promised you free vodka but you can't seem to get to it and/or its gone before you get there. Well, at least it looks like you found it eventually. lol LOVE IT.

getpunkie said...

discothequechic said...

K.Line said...

Wow, quite a party! Never realized how terrific your hair colour is, Kirsty.

kansas said...

nice to see some of the lovely bloggettes out on the town.

CK TheJunction said...

Wow that first picture is fabolous. Do i see a spark of shame because someone took a picture of you sippin from that free-drink? ^^

Cheers!

Miss Woo said...

OMG I have to watch this through my fingers, though the end result wasn't as bad as I thought. Even if I did go from vaguely coherent to utterly leggless at the end. And I only had 4 vodka and tonics, the shame.

But it was a fun night hanging out with you and other bloggers all and all, and now I got this as a reminder, haha x

Wow, to me you look way cuter and so much more lovable in this vlog then on pics, I guess it's cause you're smiling, and we can see more of your personality.

sarah said...

how fun! i love the vlog! and i also think you are way cuter in the vlog than just your pics alone!

Miss Urbanita said...

I have new camera too. I´ll show you soon. Fantastic pics!

Electro Geisha said...

Natalie said...

I always assumed you were small because of the killer heels! I am also 5'7.5 and if I wear heels over a couple of inches I get "you're tall today" comments all day long.

beccajanie said...

ok, now that I've seen your close-up I am 90% sure I saw you on the tube when I was in London. But back then I wasn't sure because 1-you were wearing color 2-you uploaded small and somewhat blurry pictures back then.
