Pictures from Plays 9th Pool Party (18th OCT 2014)
Play's a club here in Abuja & they were planning to throw a pool party. Interesting concept because the party was advertised, but the location was a secret. Through referrals etc people got to be on the guestlist, and they actually called to confirm each person (they must have a lotta credit/ good phone plan). On the day of we were to get another confirmation text with the location (Never got that, friends just said where it was about 4pm).
Soo... it's abuja, and we've had very random experiences based on how we are dressed so.. we definitely hit our sheer/ crop tops under scarves until we got to the location.
covered up cause abuja loves drama & we didn't want none
i barely knew anyone, but i had a blast! the location was stunning, set up was nice, people.... well i had to get over the fact that people kept using water guns to soak us. If someone threw me in the pool that would have not been funny because they did it to a bunch of people. I'd have to pray hard not to see "carrie red" and snap (so i left my camera & my cell phone in cousin's car). I don't understand the fun in throwing people into the pool, especially when you dont know them... but to each their own.

At the end of the day, I had a blast, i had drinks, there was music, and i met a few people. (skip the awkward part of me bumping into someone at work. I hate when my personal life & work collide... odd but true , a different time i saw a boss at the gym... just awkward for me)
NOW... since I wasn't bold enough to risk carrying my camera & have it thrown in water... all the pool party pics below are by photographer George Okoro (site, insta). So that's it folks... getting into the swing of things in Abuja.
it got dark! it got good! by 11pm I was on was on my home home to sleep! went with my girls, we are probably somewhere in the dark running from water guns/ being thrown in the pool.
Shout Out! to the play manager for giving me permission to take pics (i thought his name was BK, but i think it's Dike), and then hooking me up with pictures by George when I left my camera behind!! & a better shout out to all those that found me what i wanted to drink & protected me from bring thrown in the water! Grazie Mille!
