The "You're NOT Welcome" Party!


For the first time in 22 years of attending Eurovision the official welcome party was not open to all delegates - although some members of the press were "cordially" invited to stand at the edge of the red carpet and take photos of the "official" delegates as they entered....  Charming!

Thanks for nothing, Dusseldorf...

But it was Gorgeous Pasha from Moldova who had the best luck of the night
