The Hollywood jewels were out tonight.
The first Mary Poppins AKA Julay Andrews, followed by Sophia LooLooren and Grace Sally. Lisa Bacall, Gilly Caron and Shirley St Johns Nat Wood. The warm ups began. Laurie Christie from Dr Zhivargo rushed in from the cold clutching her fur hairband. Meanwhile Katherine Ross (Sarita Hayworth) accompanied by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid got ready to play. Arriving fresh from Harrods was Elizabeth Andreea Taylor dripping in Diamonds and wearing her Fur.
The most stunning Jewel of the coach crown, The Pink Jo Panther organised the stars into 2 teams. The 5 purple Ruby’s (Natalie Wood, Julie Christie, Lesley Caron, Sophia Loren and Katherine R ) versus the 4 Green Emeralds (Grace Kelly, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor and Julie Andrews.) The game get your jewels safely into the vault. Grace Sally the 1st with the key to the safe. Next to protect her jewels from the pick pockets was Looloo Loren. Mary Poppins used every trick in her handbag to protect the Emerald basket. Sarita Hayworth took to defence using a combination she caught every Ruby rebound. Lisa Bacall’ed the ball making 3 direct safe throws. Julie Christie cut and pasted diamond heart shaped. Hayworth threw the ball to Gilly Caron, thank heaven for little girls, for little girls grow into basketball players every day. Elizabeth Taylor made a claim to a string of pearls. There were times Shirley almost dropped her gems, but came to the rescue with many a layup safe break.
The Burglar Alarm sounded at 8pm. Diamond of the match goes to Grace Sally who upped her wears taking jewel box home.
A rich high class game tonight girls!, can’t wait for next week!
