And eat cake they did… as well as cronuts, ice cream, pastries, macaroons, brownies, cupcakes, sandwiches, burrito boats, sushi and copious amounts of cocktails…
Yelp Dublin and 9 Crow St teamed up together to wine, dine & entertain a lucky group of ladies and gents in the sumptious and grandois surroundings of The Black Door, to raise money for Dublin LGBT charity, BeLongTo.
Welcomed with mimosas and cordillos, the guests were whisked downstairs to the sound of the baby Grand piano tinkling, and the first course of savoury delights was served, with a good lashing of Hendricks gin cocktails, strong enough to put hairs on chests!
Sinead Gibney entertained the crowd with an inspiring rendition of her spoken word piece – 'Do Something That Scares You', followed by the sweet treats everyone had been waiting for.
Then, in all her granduer, came Marie Antoinette herself, channelled through the fabulous Miss Bella Agogo, in fine fettle burlesque form. More cocktails, gift bags, and general deadliness made this one of our favourite ever events!
