NYE in the country part 3 – Pool Party

After a smashing nap the witches of East-Lismore, aka Tony, Gil and Rob, were raring to go to the Tropical Fruits Pool Party in downtown Lismore. I have to say, more than usual this party had its share of personalities. Fun and frolicsome as it was, there was a fair amount of strangeness around to behold, but you do get that the day after a party. Some of the characters are well worth noting.

Mr and Mr’s Messy – I don’t think I have ever seem two people who managed only to stumble, never actually walk. They had been like this at the party, and things hadn’t really changed by the time they got to the pool. Word has it they are actually quite bright and sensible under normal circumstances, but G they were having a good time on New Years Day.

Mr Amazing – a 300 year old party godfather who was apparently part of starting it all in Sydney. Certainly his longevity and indulgence are apparent as this is someone who looked like Dorian Greys portrait. Rumor has it he has been in Europe for the last few years.

According to Gil, and who am I to argue, he is some sort of Disco God and an amazing character to boot. If you ask me however there was certain Lestat look about him. I suspect he has been in Paris (or similar) sucking the life force out of barely post pubescent rent boys and stealing their designer eye ware. To my certain knowledge, he was wearing at least four different pairs during the day.

Victorias Secret – If you have a fantastic backside, and killer leg you can probably get away with wearing lace panties to a pool party, but in this case the wearer was more Veronicas Closet/Fat Actress than Hiedi Klum. Fashion violations are a serious offence in some parts of the world and this one would have gotten young Victoria hung drawn and quartered. It didnt help that he was doing the super model walk up and down the side of the pool.

Kate Moss – Now I know I was that young and skinny once, but please tell me I didn’t go out in public with that amount of dirty undies showing. This pretty young thing, with unfortunate novelty hair, was giving the heroine shiek thing a good whirl, but all of that country air and sunshine was thwarting his plan. He was in great, if barely post pubecent, shape. But the underpants – I mean, really. What was more distrubing was seeing him out again that night – same outfit, same dirty undies showing.

Fashion comments aside, it was actually a beautiful day. The sun was hot and bright, the pool was cool, the music was fabulous and the people there were on the whole relaxed and having a really good time.

I was lucky to meet a bunch of really nice people including Craig and Tony (hello gorgeous ones), Wayne and Doug, Anthony and the Hobbit. The day was spent laughing, dancing and floating around on the many pool toys and/or handsome men. I personally spent a good hour or so sailing around the pool on the “manage” barge, and I couldnt have been happier

Wonderful.

At the end of it, Tony, Gil and I got back on our broomsticks and headed back home for dinner and a nap before our third party, evening after recovery started.
