Our plan B to get access to the TOPSHOP party at The Box actually resulted in a awesome night with the A-Lister’s.
Since we didn’t receive a personal invite to the official TOPSHOP party at The Box on Thursday, we decided to comfort ourselves with a dinner at Freeman’s instead.
Freeman’s was packed as usual, but we thought it was a little mysterious that the place was surrounded with big guys in black suits and earplugs.While we were trying to create a plan B to sneak in the to A-list party, we suddenly noticed the notorious doorman Binn from 1 Oak entering the restaurant from behind a blue curtain. And then we realized that there most likely is a sneak-in back way to The Box!
We grabbed our coats, and jumped through the blue curtain. And I must admit, we were all very disappointed. We had actually left Freeman’s for an exit to the street and there was no way back. We suddenly heard someone coming and we had no other choice than to run up the stairs with our high heels trying to be as quite as possible. Luckily we weren’t busted, but we figured that the best idea was probably to get the hell out of there before anyone would notice.
We headed towards the emergency exit, and as we entered the streets, the door slammed behind us. What a bummer! But then, to our big surprise, we realized that the exit door was right next to The Box. The outside was packed with paparazzies and fashionistas in line desperately trying to get in to the TOPSHOP party. “Right in this way, girls” said a tall, security guy - and voilà! We had the smoothest entry to the Box ever, and were suddenly sipping free drinks at the bar.
Before we managed to realize what just happened, Zack Braff was trying to impress us with some pick-up lines that he recently learned while traveling to Swedish. Our friend Bianca was not too impressed, and rejected him quickly when he said he was living in New Jersey. She obviously didn’t reqognize him.

The party continued, and we decided to head towards the main stage to see the show. While Adele was performing, we took a look around and noticed that we were sitting at Kate Moss‘ table, among Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Kevin Spacey, Penn Badgley, Blake Lively, James Blunt and Simon Cowell. Kate Moss seemed to have a lot of fun, smoking and giggling with her friends in the couch. Beside her was Jennifer Lopez, who looked absolutely stunning with her flawless skin. She actually appeared hopelessly in love while cuddling with boyfriend Marc Anthony. Me, on the other hand, was sitting next to James Blunt, who promised to protect me if the performing guy with a big sward on the stage would fall over us. Ah, thanks James!
By 2am the party was still in full swing and the evenings entertainment was rounded off with Kevin Spacey taking the stage to perform “I aint got no money” managing to get the entire celebrity table to join in on the chorus. Then Simon Cowell stood up from the couch to give his verdict of Spacey’s performance. Luckily for Kevin, Simon was very satisfied. Afterwards, Kevin Spacey went over to Kate Moss (who was surprisingly short!) and thanked her for a great party. Since I was standing next to her, I thought ” what the hell”, and reached out my arm and introduced myself to Kevin and Simon - who were both very friendly and probably though we where good friends with Kate (what else were we doing at their table?)
The supermodel was pretty drunk by then, and said she was craving for pizza. Since she managed to stumble over my foot on her way out, we thought it was time to go home as well.
Unfortunately, Zack Braff was no where to be seen anymore - we wouldn’t actually mind an after party with him in NJ after all. Bianca actually realized that she had a crush on him for years. So if you read this Zack - your Swedish wasn’t THAT bad! Call us and we can work on it together.
Apparently, Kate Moss wasn’t the only celebrity that was drunk on Thursday. Our new blogger Athisa, who works at Freeman’s, is actually the waiter from this hilarious story about Hillary Duff.
