Agency summer party yesterday. Brilliantly recreating the IRN-BRU summer ad, a pack of Leith Agency Goths took to the beach with a session in the amusement arcades closely followed by bouts of sumo wrestling, lashings of lager and copious quantities of black eyeliner.
The beachside frolics concluded with a gothic game of volleyball as the sun sunk behind the sea.
And then the Goths retired to more lively drinking establishments in the city centre.
Huge thanks to Terry and Alison for their exceptionally kind hospitality (and exceptionally delicious buffet) at the Dalriada on the seafront in Joppa. And to the patient owner of Revolution who fed us vodka for the remainder of the night.
Hard to know whether the smudgy black eyes drifting round the agency today are the result of left-over eye make-up or too much vodka and too little sleep.
Prize of the night should go to Richard Thomson for a rather fabulous effort.
With the very lovely Katie Connelly as a close second.
But in fact, small medals are probably deserving all round for tremendous costumed enthusiasm. Hats off to you all for making it a truly Gothic summer holiday.
