All About Eve

September 2009

So, we must confess to feeling a bit chuffed with ourselves this month as we managed to keep our special guest secret until the moment she walked in the room...Joan Collins..!

Joan and her lovely husband Percy Gibson proved to be the most delightful guests and Joan's reading of Mary Orr's 'The Wisdom of Eve' was a real treat. Hearing Ms. Collins telling a tale of Hollywood glamour and ghastlyness gave the story real power and also great humour. It was the perfect introduction to a great movie.

As usual we festooned our audience with lovely things provided by our generous and very supportive sponsors. Penguin books gave a terrific new biog. of Bette Davis, Eve Taylor gave a goody bag full of lovely body products, Millers poured out some delicious and much appreciated cocktails, a gin martini of course and an apple flavoured bespoke cocktail for the drivers.

Lots of love,
