Cream Tangerine

Flashback to Australia Day!

Where do I begin? I was invited to Cream Tangerine thanks to Vivian (@  adelaidecravings.blogspot.com.au )  and Trisha. This was a very exciting opportunity to welcome Australia Day on a brilliant, sun deck roof of the Grand Swiss Hotel. This roof top looked out towards the Bondi Beach and the not so clear sky that day, unfortunately.

However, the gloomy weather did not stop Viv and I from enjoying the great view, food, music and 'FAMOUS' set-up. (Yes, the party was sponsored by Famous magazine and it was very hard to not see this theme being plastered on everywall and stage.) We arrived there early, so we had the chance to try out their delicious variety of BBQ sausages. After that day, I now know that Chorizo sausages accompanied with tomato relish is deeelish! I made not one, but two trips back to the bbq zone :S . What can I say, I was fuelling my energy for the so called 'mosh pitt'. There was a DJ, with a nice little area for the mosh pitt in front  (it's just a dance floor, but I like the sound of mosh pitt better hahaha) and this area led up to a summery bar.

When I stood up there, I did feel like a star. The casual onlookers from the main shopping floor kept looking up to see where the music was coming from and why there were so many people (who arrived later on, during the day). On another note, I really love the fake grass that covered the ground, it was very very green and easy on the feet. Anyways, I really enjoyed having a catch up chat with my sweet friend Vivian, whilst enjoying the view, chill music, BBQ and gossing over the magazines.

We also received these two coins for complementary cocktails and a ticket for a goodie bag(which was filled with great stuff, like phone cases, perfume, spray tan and much more).

 In the Afternoon, we hit the dance floor and joined the crowd. The DJ was great, he mixed some old school   hits to fresh songs that everyone loves like "Everyday People" by Arrested Development to "Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia. It was fun to dance amongst people who were really into the music, they started dancing using the Hawaiian wreaths and some guy even danced with a toy flamingo hahaha (that made my day). But I was surprised that no one jumped into the little fountain/ mini pool adorned with floaties yet.

We left the party early, but I really wonder how much more the party would've kicked off during the night, when the fireworks were launched. It must've been even crazier than the guy with the flamingo!

Anyway, it was a very special day! I've never experienced anything quite like that before! (:
