Me (with disturbingly long hair and a pixie ear) and Meaghan the Hostess

Hen Night 2: Moranbah Hen Night

Meaghan and Bek who work with Andy kindly said they’d organise a hen night for me. Unfortunately, Bek couldn’t make it to the actual night in the end due to a clash of events, but Meaghan hosted it at her house. I was given a veil, a princess crown and a gorgeous pink feather boa to wear so I was the ultimate hen! Meaghan cooked up an absolute feast and also made heaps of heavenly Mango Daiquiri (it got messy later when someone picked the blender jug up from the base forgetting it didn’t have a bottom on it (and no, it wasn’t actually me!)). Meaghan and Bek had got me a hen night book for everyone to sign and also organised a game of ‘Celebrity Head’ for us to play. The girls from Community Health brought along a hilarious box of goodies for me with 'advice' attached to each item (a lot of which made me blush) - as this blog is family-frendly I won't go into further detail!
We headed into town afterwards to the Black Nugget and I faced the crowds wearing my hen attire, getting the inevitable “oh, are you getting married?” questions (no, I just like to wear a veil to the pub every now and then for a laugh). I got a free drink from the bar staff which was quite possibly the worst tasting and most dangerous looking drink I have ever attempted to consume (see awful picture to the left). We had a good laugh and in true small town style, we bumped into the Bucks on their night out with everyone squealing that it was bad luck! I believe Andy was too drunk to actually see me anyway so we were safe with the luck. The crescendo of the evening came when it was karaoke time and the girls sneakily nominated me to sing ‘I’m too Sexy’... I managed to strike a deal with the DJ that there was no way I was singing that but I would give him my best shot at Vanilla Ice (after my success last year on Long Island)! I don’t think the people quite knew what to expect but it certainly wasn’t an English girl in a veil and crown rapping Ice Ice Baby to them, it went down really well though and my dignity was intact!
