Sara K Fronting The New Bucks... Oooooooo! There was an interesting development on the Dublin VIP nightclubbing scene last night folks with the launch of the New Buck's Townhouse on Leeson Street. For the new venue will be fronted by Assets model Sara Kavanagh - the ex-girlfriend of Krystle nightclub manager Conor Buckley only a stone's throw away on Harcourt Street. Want the full skinny? Well the Buck stops here... Sara Kavanagh, Chris Fountain All the doom and gloom and depression and unemployment in the Irish economy hasn't curtailed the amount of competition in the VIP nightclubbing market, even with Residence going into administration... Last night, another club vying for the VIP MVP title, launched on Leeson Street at Buck Whaleys. Chris Fountain The New Buck's Townhouse launched last night with Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain spinning on the decks and blonde bombshell Assets stunner Sara Kavanagh as the venue's new hostess with the mostess... Tara Sinnott, Chris Fountain So what’s all the ado about? Well, those of you who regularly peruse these pages will know that our Sara K used to date Krystle manager Conor Buckley and was the unofficial face of the top club during those initial years when the venue took off and skyrocketed. Leigh Arnold, Emmett Scanlan Now that Sara is set-up as the hostess of Bucks she'll be in direct competition with her ex fella Bucko and no doubt looking to attract her vast band of model chums away from their regular Krystle hangout... You could say she was getting punters to leave Bucko for Bucks. Genius. Emmett Scanlan We had our snappers down at the launch last night and apart from snapping all the usual suspects we also caught actress Leigh Arnold hanging-out with actor Emmett Scanlan. Now, we're not saying these two thespians are secretly dating or anything, but they were very coy about being framed together. We'll say no more. We'll say no more. Elaine Crowley, Brendan Scully Other guests at the New Bucks launch included: Geraldine O'Callaghan, Lenka Markova, Aridja Ngadi, Siobhan O'Connor, Paul O'Connor, Orla Hannon, Louise Osbourne, Nicky O'Callaghan, Sean Montague, Brendan Scully, Elaine Crowley, and many more... Orla Hannon, Louise Osbourne The New Buck's Townhouse is based on Leeson Street (at Buck Whaleys) and features 4 fully stocked bars and the new VIP Boudoir Suite. They tell us that the likes of: Rob Kearney, Jamie Heaslip, Luke Fitzgerald, Gordon Darcy, Lily Allen, and Seb Fontaine have already been through the doors... Siobhan O'Connor, Paul O'Connor So folks - does this mean Leeson Street is making a comeback to its 80s glory years? What next - piano neck ties and side-lacer shoes? Perhaps. Sara Kavanagh

Aoife Mary March 15, 2010 - 09:36 Nobody seems to have noted the fact that Chris Fountain, who used to be hot, now appears to resemble a scrotum. bob March 13, 2010 - 12:06 Wow, looks like the afters at a tinkers wedding. Skangers and steamers. Dont forget to ask daddy for more money roysh ;) Andrew – Dublin March 12, 2010 - 21:52 "Models"that normally advertise skips etc. finally find their true level. The arse has fallen out of our false economy and you will see a lot more of this. The sad delusion is over. Some of the comments on this site are hilarious! Most of you haven't a clue. frankie March 07, 2010 - 19:41 Was in Buck's this weekend great spot full of hot women defo my new regular haunt :) Harriot the blonde – Dublin March 06, 2010 - 21:52 Forest, are you on drugs? I think you are hanging around the Nirvana shop too much, watch out you don't go on fire! Hahahahahahaha I like everyone and I don't understand why everyone is arguing, I hate when people are mad all the time, this world isn't going to change unless someone just says "STOP, STOP ALL THIS FIGHTING, WHY CAN'T WE JUST ALL GET ALONG" I think if us models come together and like go onto TV3 we could really help everyone xx forrest mchale – Dublin March 06, 2010 - 21:44 A1 Sharon. Brian Cowen has done more for this island than you can ever comprehend. He can sink a Guinness in one gulp and squeeze 8 regular size sausage rolls in his gob. Bertie Ahern eat your heart out. I had the pleasure of meeting him once in ice bar and he was fantastic. Get a life yoo March 06, 2010 - 15:00 commentator, fk u! any uni degree is good! arts & social science is used to get people into postgrad courses so shut it. ttt March 06, 2010 - 12:17 "Fiona D – dUBLIN March 05, 2010 - 10:41 Erm : ppl at showbiz Re; husband of Siobhan O'Connor of Dublin's 98 Radio I am almost certain his name is Paul Ryan not O'Connor maybe someone could actually ask him or do a bit of research ?" who GIVES a flying fook!!!!!!!!!!!! Karen – D4 March 06, 2010 - 09:38 The only reason anybody would wear a pair of cheap runners to anything like this is because they obviously can't afford anything better. Stop trying to mix with the better people in life and get back to the slum that you came from-ie. The Northside. pricey March 06, 2010 - 09:14 commentator, your comment is laughable, what a ridiculous thing to say. anyone with further education, should be proud of their achievement. small minded March 05, 2010 - 18:27 aiofe mary, i dont get you. ignoramous Officially: An offensive term that deliberately insults somebody's level of intelligence or education. In slang: A person who is completely ignorant, an ass, a prik, idiot, or as you put it, a rodent etc. Aoife Mary March 05, 2010 - 17:49 Small-minded - did you intend to call commentator an ill-educated rodent, or did you mean ignoramus? If the latter, ouch, I'm embarrassed for you. small minded March 05, 2010 - 16:57 commentator, you absolute ignoramous. a degree is a much cherished achievement for people all over the world. for you to say this shows the small minded nature of the way in which your mind the size of a pea thinks. get off this site, leave ireland and see the way the world works. maybe you might see how impressive it is to be an english speaking fully formed individual, and how its an achievement to have any level of education. i repeat, so ignorant and small minded. Commentator – online March 05, 2010 - 16:01 The recession must be really biting, that's all I'll say. Actually, I'll say another thing. Would certain individuals stop saying that the Irish models (!) have good degrees. An Arts, Social Science or Gommerce (!) degree from UCD is not a good degree. Thank you, that is all. Fiona D – dUBLIN March 05, 2010 - 10:41 Erm : ppl at showbiz Re; husband of Siobhan O'Connor of Dublin's 98 Radio I am almost certain his name is Paul Ryan not O'Connor maybe someone could actually ask him or do a bit of research ? Hahaha – What a goon March 05, 2010 - 09:18 Haha look at the state of that emmet lad, is hi trying to be Ali G. How can he look like that and have a serious face....WHO ARE YOU! your ma March 04, 2010 - 16:20 I'm slightly embarrassed for someone who says they're slightly embarrassed over comparing a Leeson St club that's had a paint job to a built for the purpose entertainment venue like the WV!!! Good one pal, good one. I think a few of you need to look into the context here!! Best of luck to all involved but putting this in the same sentence as the WV is a joke. Ireland will probably never see anything like the place again for the next 20 years!! havin a laugh March 04, 2010 - 15:46 CELTIC PRINCESS im humilated for u. :( – Dublin March 04, 2010 - 13:07 OMG what has our country come to? People actaully saying things things like "you breed one day and your children will work for us as well" & "real rich is the Southside kids who grew up rich and stay away from the plebs on Harcourt street" Sad Day Dublin March 04, 2010 - 12:23 Bucks is definitely the place to be this Friday night...!! Your All Poor March 04, 2010 - 12:19 I am slightly embarrassed for everybody referring to Bucks etc... as not a VIP club in comparrison to Krystle, WV and Lilles. I was recently in both Krystle and Lillies and to say they are a breeding ground for knackers is a complete understatment. Blowing your entire hair dressers weekly wage on a bottle of Vodka in the "VIP" room in Krystle does not make you rich- it makes you desperate and hungry. The real rich is the Southside kids who grew up rich and stay away from the plebs on Harcourt street. NO POVS on Leeson ken March 04, 2010 - 11:26 defo hitting Buck's this weekend loads of stunner's gonna be there!! It'll be like Assests on tour I'm all over it!! :) Celtic Tigress – D4 March 04, 2010 - 10:34 There are only a few of us in Dublin with enough money and prestige to be considered VIP so to all of you who think when you manage to wiggle your way into Krystle that you are among Dublin's elite, I'm afraid you are just caught in a delusion which is understandable. Most of you are lower to middle class rubbish who patronize our businesses and make us even more money. In essence you work for us. You meet each other at our "VIP" parties... you breed one day and your children will work for us as well. That's just life so get used to it. Nicey Nice Nic Nobbin – Dublin's fair city March 04, 2010 - 09:13 Few facts. Some hostesses do get well paid. Not all. Only a very select few. Usually once a club has built up a good rep the hostesses are the first ones that are got rid of. Sara will be fab, gorgeous hostess but honestly it is not a job I would like to do. And no it is not by ant means a managing position. Duties include meeting, greeting, hanging up jackets and ensuring the "VIP's of Dublin" are having a good night. your ma March 04, 2010 - 08:56 "errr" I'm very sorry that you're a hostess that nobody knows in a club nobody has heard of but the simple fact is if you're a VERY well known face (the likes of Sara would be, simple as) you would get €200-300 and it's most likely cash. I've worked in more venues than you've had jealous thoughts about girls prettier than you so take my word for it. blue sky – dublin March 04, 2010 - 07:48 oh for goodness sake! 'errr' it was a party on a tuesday! they obviously didn't 'let' people in they were invited! which you'd know if you were invited, which you obviously weren't because I was and it was really nice! I'll be honest I didn't want to go because buck's used to be crap but its so much better now and the extra part was gorgeous - the way lillies used to be and if the irish rugby team think it's good enough then I'm there - top totty for the girls!!! WTF March 04, 2010 - 06:55 "Hostessing is not actually like waitressing I work in a club and its more like managing the club" Managing a club me HOLE. Catch a grip on yourself. Fair play to the girl, sara for having a job but will yas stop dressing it up. gatsby – omnipresent March 04, 2010 - 03:45 If by host, they meant troll, then I can see why they hired Sara K. Also, is it me, or does Leigh Arnold's face always look swollen, like she had an allergic reaction? Megan – Dublin March 04, 2010 - 02:09 Is Leigh hiding her bump? errrr March 04, 2010 - 00:14 A) Hostesses do not earn hundreds of euro a night! The only way they could do that is if a perve slipped them cash - i know this as i was one. They are on a pretty basic salary. B) Everyone will not start going to Bucks its pretty crap compared to Krystle WV and the dirty Lillies. Also Bucks has alot of young people going to it. C) Louise Kav obviously does a sh!t job in Mantra as the place is full of underage. D) Two of the guys in the pics are wearing runners - hardly a top nightclub letting people with runners in. solution March 03, 2010 - 23:03 fashion models dont do press calls except for a few and press call models dont do fashion show so therefore not enough income. if the models could do both then they could probably have enough income but most of the press call girls are below the height to do runway and the models wouldnt do or be in demand for bikini photocalls. hats off to the models March 03, 2010 - 21:44 Hats off to the models for capitalising on there looks and working extra jobs it is a recession remember?..the reality of it is that.. every top club in Dublin is compeating with eachother and they are only delighted to get one of the Assests lovelys to frount there club and get all there celeb pals in through the doors! I bet you Buck's will be full of The Irish beautys and Rugger Buggers from now on! think I'll pop along for a perve!! frankie March 03, 2010 - 21:31 I second that will defo be hitting Buck's this weekend if there gonna be there! eye candy galore it will be:) Truth March 03, 2010 - 21:30 A load of the assets girls have other jobs like hostessing! Louise kavanagh hostesses in mantra every weekend, Georgia salpa does it in dandelion, Michelle mcgrath used to do it in cocoon, Jodi wood and Karen do it in Krystle and Nadia usd to work for fm104 while she was modelin too! thats 6 off d top of my head! good on sara earning money on the side y not!! conor orielly – dublin March 03, 2010 - 20:51 Sara Kavanagh and Michele McGrath together I'm there!! total lashes! A1 Sharon – Dublin March 03, 2010 - 20:43 Model A1 you're such a waffler.....every time there's a post your always talking nonsense,if I was to do a post-mortem on all your comments it turns out you're expert on absolutely everything...."waffle waffle waffle waffle"!!!! patrick o keeffe – Dublin March 03, 2010 - 20:14 I was in Bucks last night and thought Sara looked amazing as did the club.I hope she makes a fortune in tips and fair play to her I will be back in Bucks this Friday to see Sophie Ellis Bextor. reality March 03, 2010 - 18:22 sara, well done, im sure you will do a great front of house. most of the girls have something else going on, including international models like Miranda kerr, who has her own line of cosmetics, heidi klum who hosts shows etc, and tyra banks. alot of people have two jobs including girls aloud nadine coyle who has her own pub in LA give this girl some slack!!! robbie – dublin March 03, 2010 - 17:36 Hostessing is not actually like waitressing I work in a club and its more like managing the club..they look after the guestlist and make sure everyone who's anyone is being looked after and yes u can make a killing hosting clubs..more power to these girls I will defo be going to Buck's this weekend to see those two stunners! Shocked! – Cork March 03, 2010 - 17:12 Some of these 'model' girls actually have good degrees from good Universities. Why O why did they become models / hostesses instead of doing something meaningful with their sad lives? And the hostesses get 50eu tips if "mature and bored male customers like them" Evangelyne? Shocked! There is another name for this type of behaviour. What happens when they get to 27 - 30 years old? Career over. sad March 03, 2010 - 17:08 why do all you guys care if the models make lots of money of not?? I know for sure sara kav and the rest of the girls couldnt care less how much money any of you saddos make.... get a life!! sam – dublin March 03, 2010 - 16:44 i have an idea, lets put it to bed once and for all... does anyone know of the cars the models drive or if they have their own houses ?? surely thats an indicator of whether theyre makin much money... evangelyne – dublin March 03, 2010 - 16:18 Hostesses get paid over 300eu a night, depends which nightclub they work in. They also get 50eu "tips", every time any of the more mature and bored male customers like them. Ive seen some of the girls leave with over 600eu for a night. Its not a bad job at all, its not like being a waitress as most of them don't get near the bar. They just seem to know people and those people like it. Nothing more than that... las March 03, 2010 - 15:47 I work with sara all the time she is still getting modelling work! Host – Dublin Club March 03, 2010 - 15:07 you all couldn't be more wrong, she will guarantee the model crew arriving there which will guarantee guys arriving there which guarantees $$$$$ for the owner. She would definetely be able to demand 2/300 euro a night there.....FACT !!! i don't know why she isnt getting any modelling work anymore though... Fidel March 03, 2010 - 14:37 Nice to see that the ordinary Joe's bailout money is being so well spent in keeping certain other people's lifestyles intact. . Dublin March 03, 2010 - 14:27 Good on you Sara, having a full time modelling job as well as fronting a new club, which will no doubt be a success...keep up the good work! Funni – Bonez March 03, 2010 - 14:26 hahahaha!!!!!! and Rosana is a hostess at Dr Quirkeys!!! PR Lady – Dublin London March 03, 2010 - 14:20 Correct Bucks!! Most photocall models sadly cant make ends meet any more and are now hostessing. Louise Kavanagh is a hostess at Mantra in Maynooth, Hayley Rock is Hostess at Lillies Bordello with Marie Claire Nolan and Gail Kaneswaren sometimes, Sara Kavanagh AND Michele McGrath are hostessing at Bucks, Kristi Kuudisiim was hostess at krystle for a while where a few other minor models also work. Hostessing is the new modelling... bucks March 03, 2010 - 14:11 MODEL A1 if you were really a model you would know that louise the man kav gets NO work and is also a hostess in another club! Trev March 03, 2010 - 14:06 I prefare her in a bikini on Grafton st with a full head of bleach blond hair extensions,,. ... she is wearing to much clothing on here LOL blue sky – dublin March 03, 2010 - 14:05 H4 were you there last night? obviously not, because the club is far from pants - unless you mean kylies gold hot hotpants!!! It was stunning and chris was soo cute! it was a fantastic night. Model A1 – Dublin March 03, 2010 - 13:43 sara wasnt getting that much photocall work anyway as louise kav, georgia and nadia are getting ALL the work. so good look to her in the new job. what IS your man emmet like? talk about taking oneself waaay too seriously ewww Amore Amie – Dublin March 03, 2010 - 13:41 there is not a chance that they earn a couple of hundred euro a night. Club hostesses are glorfied waitresses. Sara must not be getting much modelling work if she has to take on this position as a club hostess. At the same time, a job is a job and fair play to Sara actually working but dont be afraid to call a spade a spade. I think Sara is gorgeous girl and is high profile to get the modelly crew into the club H-4-the-TV – Dublin March 03, 2010 - 13:01 Lovely looking girl, pants venue! Horse March 03, 2010 - 12:22 Emmet Scanlon, who/what is he cause i never seem him in anything? Interested – dublin March 03, 2010 - 12:00 Would she get well paid for that ?? I heard club hostesses can get a couple of hundred euro a night....any truth in that ??
