I went to a Girl's Night Out with my sister and few of her friends. The event was held at Alexandra Park, just above the race course.
The theme of the event started pretty much at the door, where a person was handing out a single rose to each one of the 'guests'. Once inside, the decorations and setup were made to look typically 'girlish', with mostly pink decorations.
There were a number of stalls advertising, testing and selling products. In the middle of the room there was a catwalk, with the seats(optional) around it labeled VIP, to make the guests feel special. On the catwalk was a woman dressed as barbie, with a blonde wig, armed with a microphone and the most annoying fake voice(well I hope it was fake) that I've ever heard in my life. It was the most horrid and excruciatingly painful type of entertainment that the organisers could have thought up.
Everyone was given a bag filled with a few things, such as; some brochures, vouchers, and the most popular, a pair of pink cubic zirconium earrings. A lot of the bags were left behind and in most of them the only thing missing were the earrings. In addition, everyone had the option of a free drink, as well as being given $5 to use on a bet at the races. There wasn't that all that much to do, and we got through what there was to do pretty quickly.
After that we went down to the races, and with my free $5 I almost won $870 on a randomly chosen trifecta!! (That's eight hundred and seventy dollars!!).
Overall, the event wasn't that great as there wasn't too much to do, and the imitation of barbie made me want to get out as soon as possible. Despite that it wasn't a huge waste of time and was mildly successful.
