The Masquerade Ball Minus The Masks... Keith Duffy's annual Masquerade Ball went down at The Radisson Hotel last weekend except this year no one was wearing masks. We blame the snow and the recession. It was all in aid of Irish Autism Action and we were there covering the arrivals... Karena Graham, Nadia Forde, Michele McGrath, Olivia Kenealy It was a right fashionable affair last weekend at Keith Duffy's Masquerade Ball. The venue was changed due to the naughty weather and there was no sign of Ronan & Yvonne Keating, but a good turn-out none the less... Keith Duffy, Mia Duffy, Lisa Duffy, Jordan Duffy Guests on the night included: Keith's wife Lisa and kids Mia & Jordan, Karena Graham, Nadia Forde, Michele McGrath, Olivia Kenealy, Avila Lipsett, Brian Ormond, Pippa O'Connor, Keith Barry & Mairead Barry, Paul Byrne & Siobhan Byrne, Karen Koster & John Maguire, Layla Egan, Maija Rumjan Ceva, Gary Keating & Valerie Keating, Merlin O'Reilly & Emma O'Reilly, Alan Shortt & Colette Shortt, and many more... Avila Lipsett Irish Autism Action is a great charity folks so fair play to everyone involved in the Masquerade Ball who helped raise money on the night... But we demand they bring the masks back. Except for Avila Lipsett - she's too hot to hide. Brian Ormond, Pippa O'Connor Keith Barry, Mairead Barry Paul Byrne & Siobhan Byrne Karen Koster, John Maguire Layla Egan Maija Rumjan Ceva Michele McGrath Gary Keating, Valerie Keating Merlin O'Reilly, Emma O'Reilly Nadia Forde Alan Shortt, Colette Shortt Keith Duffy

X Leesa December 13, 2010 - 18:59 @ Your Ma - that's interesting, I think of models as a blank slate for designers etc to mould & project things on to. This is hardly applicable to Irish "models" who turn up to shoots caked in pan stick (yes I've worked with them & witnessed the layers of fakery) & think fresh-faced means going easy on the blusher. I'm sure Nadia is a lovely person but she's synonymous with cringy photoshoots hence my surprise at how great she looks here. Tailor – Taylor December 12, 2010 - 10:56 Paul Byrne's trousers are too short for him. Your Ma December 09, 2010 - 14:00 You got me, what will I ever do? I'd say she's not quite at the levels where she feels she has to justify herself to what are only a load of weirdos hiding behide false names on a website. I'm hiding too but I'm not slagging someone off for the sake of it. Your pa December 09, 2010 - 12:00 'your ma'= Nadia Forde. Irene December 09, 2010 - 11:58 Where is Nadia Forde's dress from??? Its stunning...x Your Ma December 09, 2010 - 10:48 @ Leesa you clearly don't seem to get what modelling is about. Think of them like actors, they "pretend" to be whatever the client needs. They then are real people that can get glammed up as the need takes them. To suggest Nadia Forde ever looks plain is the most ridiculous thing I've heard here in a while, she has striking features, all bikinis on Grafton St aside. Tommer December 09, 2010 - 10:26 Pippa is a bloody RIDE!! Sexy sexy girl Lucy December 08, 2010 - 23:17 Does anyone else think Pippa looks like Jessica Rabbit here? Nadia looks amazing! hilda Ogden December 08, 2010 - 20:49 pippa looks like she is bursting for a wee wee with that pose. sheila sheik has more style than most of the other bints photod Leesa December 08, 2010 - 19:32 Firstly, this is a great & worthwhile cause. Secondly, I must be looking at a different Michele McGrath I don't think this look suits her at all. in the second pic she looks awkward or like she is stifling a fart. Thirdly, why does Pippa always look so surprised? Finally, Nadia in non-cheesy-plain-jane-glamour-girl shocker! She looks the business here! Followed closely by 'Paul Byrne' showing some leg! Scottie December 08, 2010 - 15:33 Every time I look at this site I thank god that I am not living in Dublin anymore. The whole lot of you are pathetic, begrudging sados! I'm sure your all fat wasters sitting there eating jaffa cakes wishing you looked remotely like these people! I never write or comment on any of these blogs but this is just so infuriating that you can never be happy for anyone! Do us all a favour, turn off your computer and get back to miserable lives! jess December 08, 2010 - 00:03 a model? someone tell me please? aoife December 07, 2010 - 21:20 Pippas dress is french connection Volume – Eastcoast December 07, 2010 - 19:31 Pippa o'connor looks like she is always.

Stephen – Sheriff Street December 07, 2010 - 18:16 Keith is the least likely person to pull of the "nerd" look isn't he, what with being a northsider and all. Whoppa December 07, 2010 - 17:53 delighted that the state pension remains untouched in the new budget. wow December 07, 2010 - 17:40 Wow Michele McGrath look's incredible jemmaf December 07, 2010 - 16:11 nadia was my favourite in big brother.

Whats up with Keith Duffy's glasses, I think he is a bit late with the whole nerd look. And what the hell is Avila Lipsett wearing. Bad combination with that top and skirt. james – dublin December 07, 2010 - 09:58 did they pay you to cover this story?
