Frocktober Week 2 was a BIG one. A really busy work week, my birthday, a dinner out, seeing the circus/burlesque show Empire at the Spiegletent and of course, the highlight of Frocktober for me, my dance party Rock Your Frock.
We rocked our frocks last night and while the crowd was about half the size of last year due to the unfortunate coincidence of a ballroom competition in Sydney and the opening of a new salsa club in Canberra, I still manged to raise over $2,400 which I think is amazing. I am so grateful for the support of everyone who helped, my brilliant friends Rob and Oren who provided professional quality sound and lighting to make the place look and sound amazing. My Mum and sister who worked the door all night letting me have a few dances in between selling raffle tickets and comparing the night. And of course the wonderful S, who helped set up, pack down and puts up with my months and months of distraction as I worked on the event.
All in all it was a wonderful night.
The rest of the week was pretty wonderful, albeit with some of those inevitable funny "frocktober" moments - such as wearing a cocktail dress with a quite short skirt and a decent amount of cleavage for Friday Cocktail Dress day, because I'd completely forgotten that it was also the day of our AGM and that the entire board would be in the office. Needless to say I hid in my office quite a bit. Today I'm dicing with a very short, flouncy skirt and a windy day, but as the plan is to stay home I think I will be ok.
Frocktober is once again proving to be a super fun month.
