Synopsis:

Accused of cheating and desperate to prove his innocence, an eighteen-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai reflects back on his tumultuous life while competing to win 20 million rupees on India’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Danny Boyle’s inspirational drama. Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) may not have a penny to his name, but that could all change in a matter of hours. He’s one question away from taking the top prize on India’s most popular television game show, but as with everything else in Jamal’s life, it isn’t going to be easy. Arrested by police under suspicion of cheating, Jamal is interrogated by the authorities.

High Heels Society Sept 24 Photos!

September 25th, 2009

The September High Heels Society was a rip-roaring success with over a hundred ladies putting their best foot forward with their own fabulous shoes! Some ladies even had a second option stashed away in their oversized handbags and debated which shoes to wear on arrival.

Limes served mini-cosmos, bubbly and a selection of canapes for our guests enjoyment.

Guest Judge Julie Sutherland and her team from Jules and Roc had an incredibly hard choice to make from the divine selection of delicious shoes, so Julie chose a 1st prize winner – $200 voucher for Jules and Roc, a 2nd prize winner with the $200 voucher for Princess Chic and 3rd prize winner with a $100 voucher for Jules and Roc. Julie also gave away 3 other honorable mentions which received life time 10% off VIP cards to her store!

Limes also gave away a lucky RSVP prize of a nights accommodation at Limes Hotel valued at $250 and a $25 to spend while at the Hotel! Not bad at all for just sending through their RSVP..

We would like to thank all of you that came along to make this event such a success!

Thank you Jules and Roc and Princess Chic for being the September High Heels Society event sponsors! Check out their websites and their wonderful shoes here:

sex-and-the-city

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), successful author and everyone’s favorite fashion icon-next-door, is back, her famously sardonic wit intact and sharper than ever, as she continues to narrate her own story about sex, love and the fashion-obsessed single woman in New York City.

Sex and the City finds Carrie, Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) four years after the hit HBO series ended, as our favorite femmes fashionables continue to juggle jobs, friendships and relationships while they start to navigate motherhood, marriage and Manhattan real estate… some of them may even — brace yourself — brave other boroughs outside Manhattan.
