Aisleyne's choices from the menu were:

Baked Somerset Brie with Pine Nuts and Balsamic Onions
Roasted Free Range Chicken, Chestnut Mushrooms, Winter Vegetables and Mushroom Grain Sauce
Drambuie Whiskey Creme Brulee

At the end of the evening, the ladies present also enjoyed the "Reveal" - the unmasking of 25 Prince Charmings, in a presentation choreographed by Ryan Jenkins

After a live performance by Platinum album group The Overtones, there was by a charity auction hosted by Giles Vickers-Jones with an introduction by TV "Loose Woman" Jane McDonald, and what was described as "a moving account" by a Prince's Trust Ambassador.

That wasn't the end of the evening by any means. After collecting their goodie bags containing (among other things) a clutch bag from Aspinals of London, lingerie by Rigby and Peller and various CDs, Aisleyne, Bianca and the other guests went on to the after-party at the suitably regal-sounding Kings Club (where Aisleyne had been the previous night, for the Chelsea Monthly launch party).

So, another enjoyable evening - and lots of money raised for a very worthy cause. Well done, all concerned.

In fact it was a double launch event, for as well as the magazine, the evening also saw the launch of the Scarlett Black clothing range from exciting new designer Eliza Scarlett Woodcock. Intended to be both affordable and glamorous, the range features only black fabrics.

Aisleyne's LBD and matching Louboutin shoes were in keeping with the evening's fashion theme.

The evening was a big success. Aisleyne and her fellow guests were entertained by singers Camilla Kerslake and Sian Evans, magician Robert Pound, a belly dancer with a huge snake, as well as a fashion show featuring the Scarlett Black range.

Lots of cast members from TOWIE, Made in Chelsea and Hollyoaks, Chelsee Healy from Strictly, The Risk boys from X-factor, a VERY pregnant Michelle Heaton, the ubiquitous Lizzie Cundy and many many more made it a real night to remember.

Aisleyne wore her "favourite" white dress (remember the MOBOs 2010?) with a new pair of gold and black Carvela shoes, and was described by OK! Magazine as looking "incredible".

It was certainly a celeb bonanza for the large crowd of paparazzi at the door for the arrivals and departures, and we were pleased to note that despite the long guestlist there were plenty of photos of Aisleyne in the agency galleries, and in the resulting media coverage.

Aisleyne said "I'm so honoured to be asked to do this" as she threw the switch to light up the town Christmas Tree and street lights to the cheers and appreciation of the audience.

The Christmas season is officially under way. Well done, Aisleyne!

Add into the mix some TOWIE types, a gaggle of footballers, and lots of Midlands media people, fashionistas and glitterati and the result was an AbFab night.

The invitation had said "Dress code: glamorous", a requirement which Aisleyne met with a simple but sophisticated LBD, matching Louboutins and suitably elegant hairstyle and accessories.

The store, in the fashionable Mailbox, had been converted into a two-floor circus extravaganza where the invitation-only crowd were entertained by stilt walkers, fire jugglers, contortionists, a caricaturist, mime artist and many other exciting acts. There were also photobooths and a dressing-up box as well as fairground stalls with special Harvey Nicks "twist". Plus plenty of champagne and lots to eat.

The event attracted lots of media attention, to the delight of the PR-conscious organisers, and of course Aisleyne figured in a lot of the coverage.

The "main event" was followed by an after-party in the Penthouse Suite in the Loft Lounge, from where Aisleyne retired late to her 5-star hotel room (courtesy of Harvey Nichols). Next day she caught up with with some local friends before returning to London.
