Logie Awards

With a four day week, and remembering the fallen with ANZAC Day on Friday, I had a nice relaxing weekend catching up with friends and then the highlight of our weekend, was going into town to stand with a multitude of people waiting for the rich and famous to arrive at the Crown Casino Melbourne for the TV Week Logie Awards.

The weather was so perfect with clear blue skies made for an enjoyable afternoon.
The red carpet was rolled out, the barriers erected, and the security guards scattered here and there, watching you like a hawk to see if you do the wrong thing or even put one foot past the barrier, waiting so eagerly to pounce on you like a hungry tiger so they can have a go at you..

I could hear the screams of young girls, yes the stars were walking towards us and down the red carpet. Ooh how exciting.
I stood with my camera poised in my hand. I felt like the paparazzi, waiting, waiting, waiting, for someone special to appear. Everyone around was pushing and shoving to try and get that one photo of their favorite person.

I felt a bit lost amongst the crowds of people, although I was only two people from the barrier, being 5 foot 3inches was a problem in it's self. Why didn't I buy a pair of platform shoes, then maybe I would have grown a few inches taller and could have seen the glamorous stars strutting down the carpet to win their awards.

As the screams got louder, I could hear the girls calling out Ed Sheeran, Ed Sheeran he was very close to us, but I could not get a photo because, me once again being too short missed it all ;(

I did manage to get some photos, so yes I was very happy. It was all glitz and glamor, the night was full of laughter tears and celebration for all who attended by invitation only.

I must admit I was waiting to see Steve Peacock from Home and Away aka Brax, but so were thousands of other screaming females. The gowns were long and flowing with layers of gold and diamonds straddled around their necks.Shoes so high and precariously did they have to walk. What a life! 

OOh look what I found scouring the internet a photo of Jason Derulo, no look a bit closer, closer again. Yes there is my hubby in this pic holding the blue phone. Wow do you want his autograph?
