At the weekend I attended my first ever J&B Met, I now know what all the hype is about.
4 days before the Met, myself and Miss Molly hadn't even given it any thought. We planned to attend the 2017 edition, then along came Goldie from Goldie Media and she surprised us with tickets to the event. This surprise put us into a spiral (POEP STORM) we now had to research the theme and rush getting appropriate attire for one of the social highlights of the year.
I decided I needed to wear a hat of some sort and Miss Molly was frantically trying to sort herself out as well. My ensemble consisted of just a hat, shirt, shorts, sneakers, sunglasses and beaded accessories. Miss Molly on the other hand was having issues deciding on an outfit (for more on that read her story about the met here).
The Met is all about glitz, glamour, gambling and of course seeing some horses race. Now there was an abundance of glitz and glam as far as the eye could see and it was hard not to try and break your neck with all the beautiful woman around. As far as the gambling and the racing goes, lets just say I had a bad day haha.
Gambling is definitely not my forte, interacting with people is however and here are some pics of the day.

Thanks J&B Met for an awesome experience, see you again next year!
Four days before the J&B Met, Goldie arrived at my house, unannounced, to surprise me with two tickets to the Met as a pre-birthday pressie.
THEME: A RARE BLEND
Uhm… ok. Now what?
*drum-roll for my most asked question* “What must I wear?”
First thought: dress up as a bottle of J&B? Wear my clothes inside-out? Wear my clothes back-to-front? Second (and better) thought: beg and borrow.
Watch this transformation:
Well-Done
Medium
Rare
Some people spend a fortune on an outfit for this glamorous event. Total cost of my outfit = R200 for shoes, which by the way, was not bought for this particular occasion.
The J&B Met is definitely an event I would like to attend on an annual basis hint hint. There’s so much to see and do – besides watching the horses compete for first prize of course. Ladies and gentleman looking their absolute best all thanks to "Allota Effort" (yes, Miss Fagina got married to Mr Effort).
Some were classy, some filled their outfits to capacity and some could have just worn their undies. There are just so many people to look at.
I had the most awesome time with my main squeeze, VersatileLyle and we partied the night away with our two favourite carnivores... How do you like you steak again?
