SICKLE CELL CHARITY BALL
A 6th Year student from Kings Hospital School hosted a TY charity ball to raise money for SCSI, Sickle Cell Society of Ireland. On the day of the ball I went to get my hair done at 10:30am. I got my hair cut, layered, and curled for the ball later that night. The hairdresser put tight curls in my hair but they would be lose by the time I was leaving for the ball. As I was walking out of the hairdresser's house it was raining and I really didn't want to ruin my hair so I ran to the car as if I was Phoebe from friends, if you don't know what that's like it's basically a new born horse trying to run... After that I went to the Abbey Beauty salon to get my make up done, the girl was really nice and she was really good at eye makeup. Thank god for that because I didn't want to go to the ball with eye makeup that made me look like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. But she did a really good job and gave me fake eyelashes too. I was so excited to get dressed up because I had bought a dress from Lipsy and I couldn't wait to wear it!
I got ready in my own house and then went to Lauren's to get pictures with her and Laura. We got loads of photos and then her dad dropped us to the hotel. Her dad dropped us off beside the main entrance of the hotel which was really embarrassing because there were loads of people there that we didn't know. We had to walk around the back of the hotel to get into the ball and I was in heels and the ground was cobblestone. I was terrified I was gonna go flat on my face. We walked through the door and there was a big enough room with round tables and chairs. There was a chocolate fountain, candy cart, candy floss stand and a christmas tree in the corner. The night was really good but I got a bit bored after a while from sitting around. They turned off the music at half twelve even though on the ticket it says that it ends at 1:30. So I had to sit around and wait for my Dad to come and collect me.
