Of course with the promise of N.E.R.D. performing at the Billionaire Boys Club party at Harvey Nicks everyone was there that night.
As I arrive, the obligatory crowd of paparazzi is outside shouting at some girl in lime green shorts (Mischa Barton?). The crowd inside is a lot more what they call "urban" rather than "fashion" and it is jam-packed.
My friend has just had new boob injections done (looking amazing) and is feeling very perky so she pulls me right up to the front of the stage. My bump is huge now so I am feeling a bit inappropriate being right there at the front like some pregnant hip-hop groupie - but three really sweet huge black guys decide that they will protect me from the crowd pushing forward and I feel safe. I have my own security guards.
When N.E.R.D. finally show up on stage, Pharrell is wearing a huge diamond watch, proving he is a billionaire, I guess. They are brilliant though, rocking the crowd, making everyone sing along to: "I want to party, I want to f*** tonight..."
He looks right into the eyes of the girls, making each one feel very special - now that is what I call a great entertainer. One of them is feeling so special that she climbs onto the stage, takes her shoes off (I can't understand why since they were flats anyway) and funnily enough Pharrell looks really scared and starts running away from her.
Now who would have thought that the best way to scare a billionaire is to take your shoes off?
