In a literal way, actually. Last night the newsletter team attended the Paramount party in aid of the third Shrek movie, as well as to celebrate of a bunch of other films including the upcoming Transformers (CAN'T WAIT) and Blades of Glory.
Never ones to turn down a night on the tiles, Sara and I made our merry way to the Kensington Roof Gardens in swanky West London where we were promptly issued with bright green cocktails (melon and banana I think?) and assaulted by a knight on a horse moped. Good times.
The themed rooms were amazing! As well as having a tarot reader and a hog roast outside, there was an artist drawing characatures and an ice-sculpture of a pair of skates, which doubled as a vodka luge. Behnid them was an actual ice-rink, which I didn't realise until I was quite tipsy, at which point indulging in a night-time glide wouldn't have been a very good idea, really. The vodka luge was the start of the end, to be honest. 
Back inside, we watched people falling off a bucking bronco, which was actually a giant swivelling planet. Sara gave it her all and managed an impressive 3.9 seconds before she was flung off into outer-space. The video games were a nice touch too. I must say I've never been on a machine gun killing spree whilst sipping champagne before. There was a John Wayne room too, complete with a cowboy shooting game. I was rubbish at that one - I could never be a cowgirl, although I think I pulled off the hat quite well. Not so much the red wig from the disco room though, that one didn't look so hot. In fact, I just got told I looked like Orhan Annie. Hmmmm.
The highlight of the night of course was getting our photo taken with Shrek. It's a shame we knocked him over, poor guy. I don't think inflatable creatures are built for withstanding hugs by enthusiastic party-goers...
Shrek 3 opens in cinemas nationwide on June 29th, and stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, John Cleese and Justin Timberlake.
