Lillies All White on New Years...

Most of Dublin seemed quite muted on New Years Eve as many Irish flew out seeking the sun after the Christmas Holidays - but Lillies Bordello still managed to attract a crowd for their White Ball...

Anyone out partying in Dublin's city centre on New Year's Eve might have noticed that it wasn't as busy nor did it have the same electric atmosphere as years gone by...

And with some ill-advised publicans trying to cash-in on revelers seeking bars to see-in-the-New-Year, and charging as much as 50 Euro entrance, it was no wonder that a lot of Dublin was dead.

But sometimes appearances can be deceiving, as there was still a great night to be had without the heaving crowds smothering the bars...

When we got past the shock that some bars were half-full and most people seemed quite sober, we began to relax and enjoy the night - in fact it turned out to be one of the best New Year's for a good few years!

And when the night began to get into full-swing the bars gradually filled - by-the-time midnight struck the booze had the required effect and a great party erupted around the city...

Most people in-the-know made their way to Lillies Bordello nightclub, after seeing in the New Year in Bars around Grafton Street, where their White Ball attracted a classy crowd.

With the likes of former Steps singer Lisa Scott Lee, Former Miss England Lindsay Fergusson & FHM Honey Shelly Wardman over from the UK and a bevy-of-beauties from the US, there was definitely an international appeal to Lillies that night...

Of course a number of hot Irish couples and the usual batch of stunning ladies also flooded to Lillies, were the champagne flowed until the early hours.

As the club's doormen ushered the crowd out as the night came to an end most clubbers had after parties organised - we're sure there are probably a few diehards still out-on-the-Ran-Tan!

Happy New Year and here's to a few weeks of normality, sobriety and detoxification after a very long Christmas!
