myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277) 4 years ago

Last night i went back to work after a few weeks off after quitting my other job, i did the same work but just somewhere else, a friend had called to see if i could do her party for her, being a singer/dj/karaoke host, i jumped at it, her name is Lily and she is 50, but she wanted the 70's theme, you know, big hair, flared trousers that cut you in half, platform shoes etc etc.....anyways i gets there people turned up in full attire, affro's as big as candy floss, bright colours, star shaped sunglasses, the whole hog....anyways as the night was getting on the place became packed out, the dance floor was not empty once, i was playing all that 70's disco music and everyone had a fantastic time, i took some pics of the people who came in fancy dress and i really want to share them with you, it took me back to when i was a kid back in the 70's and just for a few hours i had gotten back my youth, it was brilliant, that time of my life was great because i loved the music that was in at that time, i loved the colourful clothes and the hair styles, so last night i was in my element, so i would love you to see these people in full party attire....lollol even some lads turned up as the jackson 5, but one let them down so they decided to be the four tops...LOL....a great night had by all, i am so glad that i was chosen to do this party because it was right up my street, everyone was sayong how good it was, PLUS i got 3 more bookings for next month doing the same thing....i just had to share this with you, i had a fantastic night, and so did everyone else....so i will add more pics in my (my pictures) for all to see, i loved the clothes they had one, it was amazing to see something that was once for real come back just for one night...so please check out my pictures also....thankyou....

Hello Tattty
You are quite a woman Tatty and I can only imagine how much fun that was going back in time so to speak...it would be brilliant to me too.
Great stuff you got more bookings as well, you must be a wonderful host Tatty, and just the fact that you love what you do so much shows in your work and professionalism.
So proud of you and so happy for you that you had a lovely time.
Nice to be taken back to youth isn't Tats? Like remembering Oxford and all you know? Love you Girl xoxooxox Keep having a great time and so very proud of you for the quitting smoking! xixxx

Yiara some of the parties i have done have not been so good, nothing to do with me, but to do with the people there at the time, some just won't party...but this lot...jeez, they were amazing, everyone had a brilliant night out, i did too, i wore a red mini swing dress with the red plastic pull on boots, i had a long blonde wig on and a red plastic floppy hat, it was amazing, people took pictures of me but i didn't get to see them, i have put more pics in my pictures folder, so you can have a look, not one person sat down all night, it was full on from 8pm to 2am, it took me right back to my childhood and i got goosebumps just thinking about it, and yes, even the Oxford thing it was great to talk to you about that....but last night was amazing, i enjoyed every minute of it....oh by the way, no smokes for just over 2 months now, AND i have lost 15 pounds since then...lol...i cannot wait to do them other parties, they are all going to be the same theme too so i must find another outfit for them...i wish i had have had a picture of myself, maybe i should contact my friend Lily and ask her to email me some....i had a blast....best night ever, so my first gig after taking time off was the best....


myLot reputation of 98/100. OceanTiara (6977)  4 years ago

I would love to see the photos of you Tatty..that would be great to see you and I cant believe you have lost 15 lbs..wow that is incredible...you must be feeling great! Oh yes, what is a party without the partiers for sure? hehehehh xooxox Party on Dudette hahah xoxo


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

well i lost the weight when i was told that i had IBS so i changed my diet, it's only been 3 weeks since i found out, so i have worked hard trying to shift the weight because the food i had eaten was a trigger for my IBS, so now i am eating healhier, 15 pounds is one pound over a stone, i still have more to lose yet, but i am taking my time....as for the party...i want to do it all over again, i was very nervous about last night because i wanted it to be perfect for Lily, (she's the one in black with the white afro) my old laptop used to conk out alot, so having this new one was perfect and nothing went wrong either, i just had a call 10 mins ago, i am wanted for a karaoke night in a pub called the goat tonight, someone has taken one of my cards, who just so happens to own the pub...so there ya have it, i may even get a regular saturay out of this....god i wish you could see the smile on my face right now...i'm beaming...LOL....things are going so well for me, i am amazed by everything that is happening at the moment....lolrasp


myLot reputation of 98/100. OceanTiara (6977)  4 years ago

I wish I could've come to one of those famous "Tattylashes" 70's parties. I would love to dress like a 1976 pimp wearing fish tank, platform shoes with the goldfish included, a wide-brimmed, yellow hat with feather attached and a lime-green, crushed velvet, bathrobe with a "beatened" baby seal fur for the lining. It would've have been a night to remember, because a lot of people would've suffered heart attacks from laughing themselves to death looking at me dancing in that outfit.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

LMAO...love it..lol...i love this response, it's got me giggling my head off, i think you would have fitted in big time, LOL....i loved every minute of it, right down to the bay city roller girls, they were awesome with their blow up guitars and tartan trousers...it was an excellent night had by all....thumbup

Tatty that is just awesome
I wish those Days where still here, they where certainly better then the Days are now
I am glad that you enjoyed doing the night


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

hi gabs, back then it was more mellow wasn't it? not like it is now where there's a fight or something happening, these people danced all night, no one fought, all they wanted to do in them days was show off and dance, i remember my older bro with his handle bar moustache and mullet hair cut and his tight flared keans to boot, he looked way cool and all the girls fancied him something rotten, now he doesn't have any hair..LOL...it was brilliant, i have been telling everyone about it all day, i hope they call me back for further parties, because these people sure know how to have fun.....happyrasp

Lol well I hope they do to as it would have also been down to you doing a good Job
That counts a lot

thumbuphappy Hi Tattylaashes, It sounds like you had a fantastic time and I certainly wouldn't class having fun like that work. I was dancing to 80's music last night but remember the 70's well. Answering from email so will take a look at pic once I have posted. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

It does sound like an amazing party, glad you had fun as well as it giving you more business. Hopefully the other parties go just as well. I was not alive in the 70s and have never been to a 70s party, but I think it would be great fun with all the bright colours and stuff.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

oh you would love one of them parties, the music and the clothes fit very well...it was a great night and i am hoping the next ones are just as good....thankyou..happy

I went and looked at the other pictures on your profile. It looks like it was a blast. I can remember those kind of cloths and hair styles. Looks like you did her party in a awesome way. thumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

well when she called me to ask if i would do it, i said yes as soon as she mentioned 70's night, so i went and got me some 70's clothes, and i own a long blonde wig so it all futted in well, even the red swing mini dress was mine but i have never had a chance to wear it till last night, i knew it would come in handy for something, i loved it just as much as they did, she called me today to thank me, so that made me feel great....happy
