On wednesday evening I went to the Chivas Regal “Milan” party. This was one of those events where the funds put in definitely exceeded the taste of those involved. On arrival, all the guests walked up a red carpet complete with press photographers snapping shots of us towards the entrance to the building which had had Milan cathedral projected on to the fron of it. Inside things we equally strange, including an Opera singer singing (badly!) over the dance music, stylists offering hair and face make overs and an assortment of downright nasty (but at least free) Chivas-based cocktails. You needed only look at the faces of the other guests to realise that everyone there was as bemused as we were. In fact the whole event was firmly planted in the so-bad-it’s-good camp. Enjoy the pics.

Salted Lolly is the blog of Olly Stedall, a Brit living and working in Beijing, China. Why Salted Lolly you ask? Well it's an anagram of Olly Stedall, which may not be a great name but hopefully it's better than the alternative - Versatile Doll (!) - an anagram of Oliver Stedall.
