This is where the elite hangs out: Mary's Pantry, the VIP area in The Pride of Spitalfields. And look, the gang's all here (apart from Bronwen who's on maternity leave and Sammy B who blew us out):

Afer a few 'management' beers, and a review of the things we had achieved to be proud of in 2010, we headed over to The Commercial for leaving celebrations for Karla, who's moving from WK London to WK New York.

Here she is, saying good bye to Nic.

Tony D: 'I'll drink to that!'

The other week, Scott, Natasha, Lucie and I pootled over to Shanghai for perhaps the daftest shoot of my life.  Although our top secret Nokia project doesn't break until next Friday (10th December), if you look carefully at the wall behind us, you might just glimpse a poodle design or two…. 

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone.

When we were there, we popped into Nokia CD Scott's old office – where I discovered two interesting things:

1    They have a giant fluffy staircase dragon

2    Scott is, in fact, 'The Prince of Shanghai'

Honestly.  Wherever we went, the ladies of Shanghai would throw themselves at him, shouting "It's my husband!" and other such incriminating sentiments.  P.L.A.Y.E.R.

Here's Scott chatting up a poodle.

And here's me, writing the script the evening before the shoot. Maverick.

Other highlights included:

Natasha's face as we lay in a massage parlour, wearing nothing but tiny, paper knickers, as her masseuse asked, 'Would you like me to cup you?' (And they say account handlers never have fun…)

Me, walking straight into a glass door and spending the shoot with a massive egg on my forehead.

And Dan, our hilarious sound engineer from Factory, becoming addicted to massages – gradually working his way through the menu until he reached cupping (oh, that's what she meant) the night before our flight.

Ouch.

Keep your eyes peeled for the project next week.  We call it 'Loop'…
