US Election Parties

I got home at 7.30am this morning.
We were out celebrating Obama's win all night (the results weren't announced until the early hours over here anyway).
I started my evening at the CNN Election Party at One Mayfair.


A glamourous affair with endless champagne, politically themed cocktails, huge trays of cheeseburgers, little copper saucepans of bacon mac 'n' cheese, great big piles of shucked oysters and red white & blue CNN lolly pops. 
What's a party without a patriotic lolly pop, after all? 



A huge screen above the party showed the results coming in while a band belted out a playlist of old American favourites, peppered with the American national anthem.





I wore my one & only blue dress (you can find it here).






Later we headed for drinks at the American Embassy and venue hopped around Mayfair until the sun came up. 
I'm about ready for a gallon of coffee and some breakfast but well done everyone who voted for Obama, you did it! 








Pin It Now!

    Rosie,
    Here's the thing. I love your blog. These parties look fun, but are you celebrating the fact that America is now in a very dangerous position or the fact that Barry won? Obama is a great man. A smart one. There's no doubt about that, but in a country so torn by partisanship and a terrible economy a 50 year old ex social worker and a die hard lib isn't the man for the job. One of the most incredibly successful American CEOs is/was. I can only hope that Obama comes through on some important issues: finally legalizes gay marriage, legalizes marijuana...etc. I'm not afraid of his social policies. As a tax accountant, I know what he's proposing will wreck America financially and I pray to God the men of Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, can stand up to those policies and help us move forward. That being said, keep blogging. I love your blogs! I love that you're passionate about politics.

      So Romney's vast experience destroying companies and jobs (i.e. the economy)via Bain capital (and others like it) was a good thing. Sure he may know what he's doing in that regard, but if you think his efforts are to make life better for the average US citizen you're dreaming. Where do you think all the hundreds of millions companies like Bain make goes? Back into the economy? Not likely, it gets invested in other multinationals, or sent to tax havens to take yet further revenue away from the government.

      As well, this constant attribution to the Obama administration of some fault element or responsibility for the horrid US economy is absurd. The world economy was in the shitter before Obama was even elected for the first term. And it is still recovering. Have some patience, the economy is never a quick fix.

      Delete
    2. Nick, I'm shocked that you profess to be a tax accountant yet don't realize that no matter how the numbers for Romney's tax plan were crunched, they never worked mathematically. The Romney plan for the government's fiscal strategy was pure fiction. The Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan independent research group analyzed Romney's plan and found that even the most charitable assessment of his claims didn't lead to math that added up. If you want to read more about this, here's a link to a Washington post article, one of many: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mr-romneys-tax-plan-still-doesnt-add-up/2012/10/28/3ba4d9d0-1fa4-11e2-ba31-3083ca97c314_story.html
      Obama's plan is based on real-world taxing/spending policies that work, not pseudo-mathematics such as the trickle-down theory that has been debunked time and time again. If anything, it would be Romney who would wreck America financially, not Obama.

      This really made me laugh, your talking about what you think are the most important political features and legalising Marijuana comes second on your list.

      Do me a faviour the highest obstical Obama faces is the high % of bigoted white men that still hold seats in the political circle all man I can assure you have come for influencial families that once help huge plantation organisations.

      now please dont reply although i am all to aware that every one is entittles to thier opinion mine is one of an upper class young white girl whom graduated from uni with a 2:1 in Law and whom truly belives obama is THE MAN who will see americans fullfill their own american dream.

    6. Nick17:38

      Anna, I hope you're foreign, or at least that English is your second language, because you are having a little trouble there sweetie. Mentioning legalizing marijuana is extremely important. It would completely undermine a culture of drug violence that has permeated America, thus making America a safer nation. I only mention legalizing mariguana and legalizing gay marriage because I believe those are the only two constructive things Obama is promoting. Good evening to you as well.

      EmilyF: I'm sorry for saying men of congress. I'm genuinely incredibly excited about the record number of female senators and house members!

      Delete
    7. The simple fact that you wrote "the men of Congress" shows just how backward your ideals truly are.

      I hope that before you vote blindly the way your friends and family did in the NEXT election, you will do a little research and understand that sometimes when it's civic rights vs. financial gain, human rights should win out. Every. Time.

      Delete
    8. Nick19:48

      Haha Megan. So because I said the men of congress and then corrected myself and said how excited I was about the record number of females in congress I have backwards ideals? I'd say you may need a class in logic. I have nothing agains Obama. He's a great man. I have done a great deal of research. Human Rights are important, very important! I genuinely know and believe that Romney was the best man to improve human rights. Taking money from one group of people and redistributing it to another is hardly improving human rights. Our argument really is as simple as the fact that we have different political ideologies. I respect yours. I think they're wrong, but I respect them. Don't call me backward and blind simply because you can't articulate an argument agains what I'm asserting.

      Nick,

      My first language is English but I have dyslexia, so now you seem to me too be more of a bigoted fool than you seemed at first. Are you a dope smoker? Have you spent time around people that abuse Marijuana so much that their brain cells start to diminish? I’m not sure if you have done any back ground reading on the lasting effects of the drug but it actually ends up having an adverse effect on people that use it as a medicinal substance. This is due to the fact that their mind gets used to the effect of the muscle relaxant and instead creates a feeling of unease. At this point so much damage has been done to the brain that doctors have no way apart from seeking Physiological help for the patients.

      Any way I doubt we shall ever meet and I doubt either of our replies will have a lasting effect on the other (unlike the use of dope) so I bid you farewell and hope that somewhere along you’re journey you learn some manners.

      Ciao x (Italian is my second language perhaps if we converse again you can speak to me in Italian)

      The parties are cute. However, until you really understand America's economic situation and look at how Obama has brought us to an all-time low, you don't get it. In 2004, the economy was far better than it is today — higher eceonomic growth (2.7% compared to today's 2.0%), lower unemployment (7.6% compared to today's 7.9%), smaller deficits and cheaper gasoline — yet network coverage that year was twice as hostile to Bush than it was towards Obama this year.

      It's all fun and games to you overseas, but people here are feeling the real effects.

      Wellllll, when the former Republican president was responsible for a majority of that...you know, waging a war and all, there might be a reason to celebrate the fact that we have a president that would rather focus on things like healthcare and education--not the bullshit that is "No Child Left Behind" and people being denied coverage of their birth control when things like VIAGRA are being covered. Nope, I'd rather have a president that is not a racist, sexist pig that cannot decide who he stands for, and associates with a party that was ONCE rational and logical, but now a caricature of crazies.

      And, really, we are better like by the world with Obama than we were with Bush. Trying to tap down on our invasion of other countries does that.

      Also, it has been proven time and time again that during a recession, you don't try to reduce the deficit. You do that when you are experiencing surplus (like during the Clinton administration).

      I do want to say is that for the sake of our country, global economy, and future generations I truly hope Obama succeeds and my reservations do not come to fruition because we all have a lot more to lose if it does. I am a firm believer in equality and social rights, but understand that individual responsibility is the best way to success.

    Hello Rose, I need your style advice ASAP :)

    I have my boyfriend's PhD graduation at the end of the month in St. Andrew's. I am currently following the anti-diet so that I can look my best, but also can maintain the weight loss afterwards (and be healthy!). Do you think I can realistically lose a noticable amount of weight in that time (I'm not overweight, just a little bit plump)?

    Mainly - WHAT WILL I WEAR? I am so stressed about this as I have no clue since the weather will be cold/probably not very nice. I have only ever been to summer graduations so I would appreciate your help :)

    I would like to look sophisticated with just enough glam for a daytime event.

      I'm just going to wear a big black wool coat over it - would you go for a big bag (LV alma EPI electric or Bottega Veneta New Bond Bag or Chanel Cerf(All are black)) or a clutch (the only black clutch I have is a Mulberry Daria).

    Wrote yesterday for first time but was not published. It's now important that the accusations and exaggerations get toned way down. It would take more than a mere mortal to solve all of the U.S.'s problems right now. Even more so in 2008. Romney is an unknown quantity who has not always displayed consistency or transparency. Obama has been so much in-the-line-of-fire that everything he does provokes loud criticism.He replaced George W. Bush, a Republican President, and inherited unparalleled national debts and unresolved wars overseas.And he has had same Republican party voting down many important bills as he tries to introduce them.

      People mistake all Romney supporters to be anti-gay, pro-life, and money-hungry Amurricans. While that generalization is unfortunately true for some who hate because they don't understand, it's not true for everyone. I'm a 26 year old female who voted for Romney because I believe he could have turned this country's fiscal situation around and given us more opportunity to support ourselves in later years. One politician's agenda is not the end all be all for a nation - human rights are incredibly important, yet we need to look at the state of our finances and be able to stand on our own to feet to continue our role as leader.

    What makes last night's presidential results taste even sweeter is all the state election results that we saw come with it.

    - There are a record number of women in Congress now (though still nowhere near critical mass, and forget about parity, but still a step in the right direction!), including the first openly lesbian Senator!!

    - We saw wins for marriage equality on several state ballots, which will hopefully become a broader trend!!!

    - The legalization of marijuana use in two states (and even those who don't agree with marijuana use should realize that it's better to legalize it so that we can cut down on crime, use it for tax revenue, etc.)

    - Also, just about every single one of those horrible, excuses-for-men Republicans who spouted ignorant things about rape and abortion and women's bodies LOST. Ain't no man gonna tell me what to do with my body!

  51. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge you for supporting Obama or any American politician. America effects your country and I certainly have my (limited) opinion about your government from spending in total over 1.5 years in England. I feel like whatever basis you might have for supporting Obama (just like so many Americans who supported either of our two main parties this election season) stems from your ignorance about the actual role of a president in american government. The role of president is the highest office in our country and in our EXECUTIVE branch. That branch of the government is responsible for enforcing the laws which our congress passes and our judicial branch upholds. Almost all of our presidential hopefuls in modern america run or have run contingent on issue that are completely or almost completely irrelevant to the role and duties a president is supposed to and more importantly allowed to preform. If you ever find yourself interested in american politics and history, the duties, responsibility and powers granted to the president are outlined in article two of the constitution.

    Anyway I wonder what a CNN party would have been like if Romney had won. Instead of champagne into the wee hours it would have probably ended ;P

    Cheers from America.

  52. this looks like such a fun party to attend! the celebratory spirit here in america (well, for those who voted for the president) was really palpable. :)

    Excellent blog Rose, thank you!
    At this point I sense a line should be drawn here, and we should just "agree to disagree".
    My earlier comment fell on a few deaf ears. Sorry, Nick,did you deliberately spell "itellectual" thus to make your point? Our neighbors in Vermont ceased to speak to my 90 year old Father once they discovered he was for Obama. This kind of nastiness just festers-how do we ever end it?! What I'm saying here is stop-please-all of the vitriol. Yes, personally I have found considerable militancy with those that are hard-core and even Romney Republicans. But I sense it weakening.
    Rose the Blog Mistress, in her previous post, delineated her arguments towards Obama most clearly. Yes, he was a Social Worker (Gaby), but I'd trust him over a Business Man like Romney any day. Obama's done a few other jobs apart from S.W. before the Presidency....I still believe that a good leader can make a difference. Not simply to the U.S. of A., but to the rest of the world. Elisabeth.

    Looks like you had more fun than most of us here in America! You're so lucky you got into an Embassy AND CNN party, I would have killed for that opportunity. (Being a political science major, politics runs in my blood!) From this side of the Atlantic, I'm very jealous. Thank you for reminding me why I love you Brits so much and I can't wait 'till I get the chance to move to London!

  57. Hello Rose - this is slightly unrelated to your post (although it is to do with parties!). Looks like you had a good time at the election do.

    I work for a design agency - we're trendy, creative and fun and we love anything to do with good food, drink, music and definitely enjoy the quirkier side of life.

    The reason I'm contacting you is because we're stuck for Christmas party inspiration, we're based outside of London but only half an hour away and would like to do something in London but not sure what.

    Seeing as you always know what the best places to go to are I was wondering if you could give me a few suggestions of where we could go for our Christmas party?

    Any help much appreciated! :)

    Hi Rosie,
    this might sound a bit random after all the comments about the election but since I saw you in that Zara coat in another post I've been dying to get my hands on it. I would have to buy it online as I don't live near a store and I was wondering about the size. Is it any smaller or larger than normal Zara? Is it wide or narrow? It's just so stunning I have to get it myself!
    Thank you for any response and for your awesome blog.

    Love from Norway

      I have it too, it's on the small side and narrow in the chest & hips but not the arms. Great length though. I bought a size L because I'm a 10 but curvy x hope that helps x
