Myer Marquee Derby Day 2013 the home of the beautiful people, this is no word of a lie and when my photographer Lisa Frieling arrived, it was the first thing she noticed “I can’t believe how beautiful everyone looks” she was right. How could she not be when we were brushing shoulders with (wait for it..) Tyson Beckford (exclusive guest for Myer) Kris Smith (need I say more?) Jen Hawkins and her hubby Jake Wall, Bondi Vet and Laura Dundovic, just to name a few!
The theme this year reflects Myer’s latest campaign and portrays a hint of Australiana without all the acubras and witchettygrubs rather gourmet barramundi burgers, earthy floral arrangements and a cockatoo image overlooking the crowd from behind the bar. The weather was warm just like our country and guests used the complimentary fans to keep cool whilst enjoying a refreshing beverage and soaking up the eye pleasing atmosphere. I remember from last year that the Myer marquee was the place to end your day on a high, with the dj turing it up for the guest to dance the day away.Being the pregnant and exhausted chick sitting down sipping icy cold water, it was so nice to see the smiling faces dancing and having a wonderful time, lets just say I was living vicariously through each of them whilst nursing my swollen feet. Bring on Cup!
