Saw that in Washington and tonight in Chicago - no one had to turn up in PJ's !!

No wonder there were less people here in London turning up - different rules!

Looks like London had more fun - with drinks and cookies!

Funnily, the majority that turned up were all Americans! And only three girls.

My friend did. It was OK, but she was disappointed that she only got a goody bag if you purchased something on the night. They had jelly beans, pretzels, martinis, a photobooth, makeovers and a DJ. On the way out they gave a £30 voucher to use, if you spend over £100.

A lot of outlay to get something for free then! :P

I went to the Levi's/Grazia event last night, very disappointing, no sizes and colours that you wanted, so much for the "your personal custom fitting by one of the Levi’s® Curve ID specialists to ensure you find the perfect fit". And you only get photographed if you brought pair. The pair that the girl being photographed wearing definitely did not fit her! This Curve ID is such a gimmick.

Lovely to see 5rannoch and bevvy there. We did have a glass of sparkling wine and some cupcakes, and left with a goody bag - latest two copies of Grazia, Divine White Chocolate, bottle of Vitamin Water, and small tub of bellapierre cosmetics. So all in all, not too bad! ;)

I went to the Levis/Grazia event last night, too, though only briefly as it was between two plays. Didn't know anyone here was going. I thought it was a bit odd, as though the idea of a new way of fitting jeans sounded promising in principle, in practice, once I'd been measured the two pairs of jeans I was handed were completely unsuitable - I couldn't get into either! I wasn't interested in the food or drink and dumped most of the contents of the goody bag but I did eat the chocolate and keep the bag, so not bad overall!

Exactly! Shame missed you! But we didn't stay long

What a shame you dumped the mineral make up - they cost about a tenner to b*y! Could have given it to me or another FMUKer!
