KEY POINTS:
Queen of the Fairies, Lana Coc-Kroft, made a special star appearance at The Fairy Shop on Ponsonby Rd on Friday night to sprinkle goodwill and cheer and to officially open the shop's "sparkly new party room".
Lana was joined by blonde bud Aja Rock (who's looking tres thin
these days) and Mary Lambie, who took time out of her working day to be there with her littlies.
When we last caught up with Mary in October, she was on her hands and knees under the counter at her Northcross Subway outlet, desperately trying to hide from Spy's snapper. It didn't work. Neither did her sweet attempts to bribe him with an M&M cookie.

Meanwhile, across town at the Hilton Hotel, it was all about "Angel Barbie", who, we've since discovered is never-heard-of-before Sophie Lewis, 22. Thanks to yesterday's paid-for spread in the UK's News of the World, Soph is more than world famous in NZ.
Her breathless account of her romp with a member of the English rugby team (not one of the four England players at the centre of a police enquiry) sounded like a trashy Mills and Boon novel.
"He pressed all the right buttons and kissed me in all the right places," she told the British tabloid. "He was so energetic." "It was very romantic. He was a fantastic lover. We made love for more than two hours."
"We did it all night long before he got up at eight to go for physio [therapy]." "He was such an accomplished lover and we did it in every position imaginable." Eeeeeeeew!! Too much information, Sophs!
Her player apparently bragged to the young Kiwi party girl that he wasn't the only player to bring a woman back to the Hilton for sex, the News of the World reported.
Lewis did some bragging of her own. She emailed the Spy mailbox on Wednesday for some unsolicited publicity.
Then the British papers came chasing with whopping wallets. Lewis was reportedly paid $12,000 for her story. She's using the cash to go to London, apparently. No surprise that it's the home of the kiss-and-tell WAG wannabes.
Four other England players are at the centre of a police rape enquiry involving an 18-year-old girl at the Hilton. The girl alleges two players assaulted her while the others watched. The players returned to England yesterday.
