Absolutely speechless

OH WOW

That's pretty much all I can say to explain last night. No matter how I try to describe it, I will never be able to convey the incredible experiences that I had yesterday whilst working the closing ceremony. All I can say, is that without a doubt I know that will be one of the most memorable of my entire life.

HTL chill lounge for all the celebs




The previous day I had gone into HTL (the High Talent Lounge) and helped set things up in preparation for all the celebrities who were going to be performaing in the Closing Ceremony- therefore I had a fair idea of who was going to be there. However, nothing could have prepared me for the for such a spectacular night.

I was supposed to be a barista but seeing as me and the coffee machine were having 'artistic differences' ( note by this, I mean the coffee machine decided to meltdown and go on hiatus whenever I touched it) I ended up spending the night as a waitress.







So many famous celebs were there last night, its hard to remember even half!
I saw the Spice Girls in all their glory and they are absolutely banging ! They are ALL so tiny ! Mel B was by far the hottest in my opinion. Their costumes were to die for !

I had lots of little conversations with people as I moved around the room from the Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter) about canapes to the Who who liked to mimic my Australian accent, Kate Hudson who was "most certainly sure" she was full on food to David Beckham who was going to carry his own plate to the bin. Liam Gallagher from Oasis asking me about the trams in Melbourne and my absolute personal favourite was when Niall Horan from ONE DIRECTION greeted me with "Hey baby, how you doing?"

Last night was so unbelievably fantastic that at many times I was left speechless. I couldn't believe I was getting paid to be surrounded by so many famous people- it did not feel like work at all.

I did feel a little bit sad watching the Closing Ceremony, I didn't want it to end. I have had such an amazing time over these past two weeks, everything I have experienced has made me feel so privileged and has certainly made my Olympic experience beyond my wildest dreams.
