The weekend tabloids were full of gossip from the Brown Thomas International Fashion Show and its after-show party. The Sunday Mirror reports that Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice), who is in Dublin recording her new album, snubbed the charity fashion show, disappointing organizers who were hoping for a show of support. Apparently, the event was not posh enough for the Posh One. Sharon Corr (above, giggling with Bono) thought otherwise.
Meanwhile, the Irish Mirror had the skinny on the after-show party at the Clarence Hotel. Celebrities and supermodels swamped the hotel, arriving in limos and posing for paparazzi (photos here). Show organizer Ali Hewson, however, made a less glamorous arrival in a mini-van with seven children.
A source told the Irish Mirror, “Bono and Ali’s kids loved the show and they wanted to meet all the stars too. Ali was absolutely thrilled it all went so well.”
Drinks were on the house in the hotel’s two bars downstairs and disco bar upstairs. While greeting guests at the door, Bono told waiting reporters outside, “The party seems to be going very well. Everybody is having a good time. The night has been a success.”

More likely: “Larry’s got a poster of your brother’s bike on his wall.”

Lol. You guys are too funny. 😉 Also, I dunno if anyone cares, but that’s *Caroline*, not Sharon…

OK. Larry has a poster of your brother on his bike on his wall. I don’t think Larry’s gay, but he sure comes off girly sometimes. Anyone out there who saw the ’97 David Letterman Show appearance I know is with me on this piss-taking.

Perhaps, underneath their make up, the Corr girls look like Jim. […] One can but hope.

you know, it’s really not fair to the female gender that the Corr sisters should be so unerringly beautiful and the brother so downright average. potato farmer… right on.

Just for interest, there’s a nice little account of Adam Duritz’ (counting crows) encounter with Bono at the fashion awards. It’s kind of sweet.

Sharon Corr is correctly identified in the photo. In this particular photo, you cannot see that she is seated next to her husband Gavin Bonner. Caroline Corr is currently blonde and very pregnant. Andrea Corr wore a black outfit to the event.

Andrea’s face is much rounder these days anyway, when she hasn’t got all the paint on. She looks pretty young still.

Blonde? Ouch. Cool about the baby though.

well, if you say Andrea wore a black outfit then I bow to the female ability to notice things like that… The girl in the pic does look like Andrea to me, but I can’t tell for sure ’cause her face is half covered. I thought Andrea was the only one with really black hair like that…

none is them is “having it off” with Bono, but the rumors were some time ago that it was Andrea. The other two are married, plus Andrea bears a striking resemblence to Ali at the same age. Anyway, it was all a load of horseshite.
