My Big Fat Gay Cruise: Day 8
Posted on 31-12-2011
What better way to start off New Year’s Eve than with yet another facial? After having my facing oxidized and peeled away, I revel in my new-found (and somewhat temporary) youth and spend the rest of the day indoors, mingling with the minions. Preparations for New Years eve for me started promptly at 5pm, where I casually announced to my roomie that he had one hour to do whatever he needed to in the washroom before I would commandeer it. After shaving, showering, exfoliating, doing my hair, and slipping into my outfit for the evening, I headed down for our group photo in the foyer. Now if you thought getting a group photo right was hard in itself, imagine trying to corral twenty or so queens to stand properly on a staircase. Nevertheless, we came through in the end for a wonderful group photo before dismissing for dinner. As usual, dinner was exceptional with all kinds of wonderful dishes and sweets on offer, where I think I went a little overboard with the ‘Chocolate Tombstone’ for dessert.
After our group New Year countdown, I slipped into something a little more comfortable and headed up to the pool deck, where the party was in full swing. Ice sculptures adorned the jacuzzi, people donned hats and noisemakers to ring in 2012, and the general atmosphere was amazing, helped by the fantastic house band. I managed to keep it together till about 1am (in god knows which timezone) before galloping off to bed with fond memories of 2011.
Happy New Year everyone!
