I am a very risk-averse person I think, which is the total oppositte of my hubby/Cherry, who generally grabs risk by the short and curlies and then rides it like Seabiscuit - and fair play to her for doing so. Last night was one of the proudest nights of my life. Basically Cherry, nigh on single handedly, put on her own one woman show, sold it out and had them screaming in the aisles all night - and organised it in under two months too. She also re-wrote her show, learnt new songs especially for it and had some amazing costume acoutrements created especially for the event. I wholly admit that I thought this was a big risk, but she pulled it off and our nearest and dearest friends, who also helped out a great deal, I also think are just amazing too.
Not all of it went to plan, we had wardrobe malfunctions, not on the Janet Jackson sort of level, but it gave us some concern, the DJ that was hired had some technical issues, however otherwise was totally amazing and did a fab job all night. It was also an excellent opportunity for Cherry to get a show reel done as well, and from this a DVD is going to be made - and all profits are going to go to Comic Relief too, so all in all it was a rather productive night.
I just don't know if now is the right time to admit to breaking one of Cherry's Julien Macdonald earrings...oh well, it's out there now, I shall suffer the consequences...
