Bon Voyage: BAFTAs

Friday night was BOP, and they last minute changed the theme... to 'nothing but clothes' We didn't participate in the dressing up.. or down, but we did have a great time!

Last night we decided to go see the celebrities arrive on the red carpet at the BAFTA's, basically, the Oscars for Britain. We read they would be giving out wristbands to the public at 7am, so we all got up at 5 and met up at 6 to head into central. The line was wrapped around 3 blocks and we waited for 3 hours (with a quick run to McDonalds while some of the others saved our place in line) before they told us to come back at 12 to line up for the red carpet. We went and got some lunch and shopped around Piccadilly Market until we had to get in, wait for it... another line. We waited there until 1:00 when we were finally let on the red carpet! And once we get settled (standing up, third row from the front, not too shabby) we got to wait for another 5 hours until the actual red carpet started. Mind you, it rained all day and was about 32 degrees, so by the time people started walking the red carpet, I was about to die, as was the rest of my group! The first celeb we saw was Alicia Vikander (from Anna Karenina) then the some famous Brits that we didn't know. Then the good people came! We first saw Hugh Jackman, then Jennifer Lawrence, then Colin Firth! We saw other famous people, but those were the only ones that came close to us. Everyone went through the carpet really fast so they could get out of the freezing rain, resulting in my lack of pictures. But I'm pretty proud of the ones I did capture, despite the frostbite forming on my fingers! Well, it got so cold that we left early and went to the pub.. but we had fun while we were there :)

Going to sleep now- this has been the LONGEST DAY EVER. xoxo!!
