About 2years ago Reggie Yates from MTV BASE had the best New Years Eve party that I can remember to date - it was a Pyjama/slumber party!!!! Mr. Yates often had these types of quirky gatherings, attracting loads of us jokers from the world of music, media and fashion world and this New Years Eve Pyjama party was no different.
People like: Singer/songwriter Estelle who's just won two Mobos, Presenter - Melvin Odoom of kiss 100 and Frock Me fame and (at the time, the unknown) singer/songwriter Remi Nicole were all part of the crowd.
That was back at the start of 2007. Since then we've all become very busy with our careers and meeting up for these mad parties has become scarce! The last time I think we'd all planned another mad one was in March 2007. Remi Nicole and I had the bright idea that we should all go snowboarding before the end of the season that year. Everyone agreed, flights were booked and the slopes of Sweden were set for a pounding! That was until I managed to get myself a job as one of two new presenters on, wait for it.... MTV NEWS, starting the very same week I was due to hit the slopes with the guys!
Everyone went and had an amazing time but I haven't had a chance to hang out with them all until a friends birthday party recently brought most of us back together again, including Remi. Just incase you don't know, in that busy period when I didnt see everyone, Remi released her first solo album and became a bit of a success story including supoporting Amy Winehouse on the gig circuit. So it was great to see her, hence the pic above.
It's always nice to look back though right?! Take a look below, this was us at the Pyjama/Slumber party on New Years Eve at around 6am. Deprived of sleep but still having the most amount of fun. Good times. (Yep that's me in the top corner and Reg in the the string vest)
Check out Remi in her Super Girl Pyjamas Lol. Keep an eye out for her second album dropping next year but until then...
