WTF Are You Wearing?!

This picture will make a lot more sense after you read the rest of this entry...


My friend Kathleen passed along an invite to attend her friend Gareth's birthday party. I asked her if it would be strange that she was bringing friends to his birthday party and she started laughing. I couldn't understand why she was laughing until she sent us the written invite that Gareth had composed. This is what we received in our inboxes:

Q. What did Cinderella do when she got to the ball?
A. Gag
This year, so that everyone can keep up, its time for a completely different theme, which ironically is hosted at the most tasteful venue yet.
A clash?...Score!!

After a one year absence because of religious and personal reasons, the Buck Wild annual celebration is back.
2012 has only just begun and already, we can smell the hope. Everyone seems optimistic about this year, and it's not just because it's going to be Obama's last term in office. I'm talking about everyone getting a year older, and really coming together and having a good time. This, my peers, is the perfect opportunity to do it.

The theme speaks for itself. What the fuck are you wearing?? Guests are expected to make complete fools of themselves-- shock factor and self-disgrace are of paramount importance. Life is too short to take yourself seriously.

Set in the rooftops of the Arab Quarters of Singapore, Pasha is a beautiful and charming Moroccan style Hotel/ Restaurant/ Bar/ Private Lounge located on Aliwal Street. It is conveniently both outdoor/indoor and will suit the needs of all shameless party goers perfectly.
Pasha have kindly offered all of those in attendance not only all areas unrestricted access, but also the following for the entire night:
- $12 doubles
- $8 wines
- $8 beers
- Complimentary finger food/ snacks
This shit is recession proof for real.

It is also (finally) with great pleasure, that I am announcing the retirement of my old party thong, which has been in active duty for so many reliable years. So as to not disappoint the ladies, I will be showcasing a brand new European imported multicolored "t-back" for the very first time. Dudes, don't hate me cuz you ain't me.
Usual rules apply.
Those not dressed up will be refused entry (sorry!).
Poor attitude/ "Straight off the boat" syndrome, subsequently escorted out.

The parties of past have been legendary so there is no reason not to make this one the best one yet. You are welcome to invite friends.
Thumbs up lets do this!



I couldn't stop laughing and immediately wanted to meet Gareth. Clearly he had an amazing sense of humor. Val and I went over to Anna's before heading over to the party to have a few drinks. We just about died laughing when we saw each other's outfits!


When we arrived at Pasha, we saw Adrian and Kathleen and decided to order a bottle of vodka to help get us in the proper spirit. 




We started mingling and making new friends and I was waiting for Owen, Pete and Dave to arrive. Dave lives in Beijing and was in town visiting Singapore for the first time.



I became engrossed in a heated conversation about American football with a man who's name I cannot remember for the life of me!


Just when things were getting intense Gareth made his entrance. Mind you, it was an entrance that I will never forget!


Once he was down, Kathleen introduced the birthday boy to us. We became fast friends and started snapping photos left and right...



We were laughing, drinking, and meeting new people like it was going out of style. The simple fact that everyone looked so ridiculous just aided in the constant flow of laughter. 



Just then Owen, Dave, and Pete walked in to the bar. I instantly ran to Toma (Dave) to give him a hug as I hadn't seen him in a very long time. 



Anna came over to inspect their outfits and was very dismayed that they did not dress up in accordance to the theme. 


Her remedy? To undress them and re-stylize them until they looked somewhat erratic. The next series of photos are just hilarious...







The rest of the night went on as such and we ended up outside on the rooftop deck chatting and drinking before calling it a night.
