Rose Garden Hotel revisits ancient Rome
Toga!
Toga! The Rose Garden Hotel hosted their first toga party last week, the
first in a monthly series of fancy dress parties. Everyone who attended
had a night they will not soon forget.
The Rose Garden Hotel on Pratamnak Road took a step
back in time, to when gladiators ruled the world and after a hard day of
beating back the marauding hordes, would relax in the intimate atmosphere
of what was to them “normal” evening attire - togas.
The tradition has not been lost, and every so often
someone, usually a rowdy fraternity, brings back the toga party as a fun
alternative to more modern ways of mingling.
Last weekend, the Rose Garden Hotel held their first
toga party, complete with the nectar of the gods. Since it is rather
difficult to find an original toga, sheets and towels were the attire of
the evening, fashioned to resemble as closely as possible the togas of
ancient Rome, and partygoers did a remarkable job turning their
“laundry” into evening wear.
The event was the Rose Garden’s first in what will
become monthly fancy dress parties to be held throughout the year. And if
the success of this first is any indication, we can’t wait for the next!
