Gail Elliot

This month one of the original Supermodels and owner/creator of the beautiful clothing label, Little Joe - Gail Elliott. Gail lets us behind the scenes of her very cool hen’s event, shared with her sister Dawn and girlfriends including Helena Christenson, Yasmin Le Bon and Cindy Crawford!

My hen’s night (which we call ‘Doe’s’ night in the USA as in Stag & Doe) was about 4 days before our wedding in New York City – our wedding was on the 18 September 1997 in the Hamptons, N.Y.

I can’t really remember – I guess it was a combination of myself and my girlfriends, Yasmin Le Bon, Helena Christensen and my sister Dawn who planned it for everyone – we were around 14 girls in total.

Just the night because we had a five day wedding in the Hamptons. Our friends and family came from all over – London, Australia, Europe, so we took houses in Amagansett ,which is our little town in the Hamptons and partied, had clam bakes and took beach walks and all hung out for the five days.

No activities as such, just a fun dinner and ended up at a strip club downtown where we met up with the guys.

Dinner was at Balthazar on Spring Street in Soho (NY) and Ten’s Cabaret on East 21st Street! (This was a while ago, but they’re both still very hip, top class venues).

The girls definitely made me feel like the star of the night!

One of my girlfriends had too much champagne and ended up swinging on the rope swing at Ten’s – I have a beautiful image of her flying through the air with her long blond hair flowing behind her – luckily she was fully clothed!

Nope, nothing…..!

I don’t think there is anything I’d change – I had a fun night with great girlfriends…..
