We were at the Life Ball 2017. Things got wild, people got naked, and the Rathaus became one big surreal world, filled with the outlandish. What happens at Life Ball, stays at Life Ball. Here’s what we saw and overheard:
“Can somebody help me!! Quick! I’m falling apart!“
– she says as she emerges onto the red carpet
“I started this party with 10 beautiful nails and now I’m already down to 5!”
– mid-30s guy looking at his fingers
“Do you think I should keep the bunny on? I feel I want to drop it – it’s very heavy.“
– a girl asks her friend while waiting in the wardrobe queue
“I don’t want to interrupt, but I think you’re losing your eye lashes.”
– a girl dressed up in 1920ies outfit says to her friend in the middle of bathroom confession
“Sag mal, speibst du?!” (translation: “Hey! are you throwing up?!”)
– a barman asks an angel who has just ran behind the bar looking like she’s about to …
“My main concern when I go to the toilet is that I’ll break off a wing.”
– overheard in the ladies room queue
