TEN years ago restaurateur Maurice Terzini threw a party with his mate Angus McDonald, from Sneaky Sound System, for a few hundred friends on New Years Day at his then-just opened beachside bar, Bondi Icebergs.
A decade later and it's an annual knees-up where celebs and eastern suburbs cool cats dance the afternoon away to the sound of international DJ's and drink through the previous night's largesse.
Yesterday was no different, with a well-heeled, salubrious crowd paying $350 each to sip Veuve Clicquot, eat canapes from the famed noshery and stand aloof from the crowded beach below.
Fresh from hosting Snoop Dogg at one of his Kings Cross party palaces, Icebergs regular John Ibrahim made a rare appearance with his son, Daniel Taylor, 20, who will hopefully have a better year than last, after being charged with assault following an argument over a parking spot.
Seldom seen out and about together, the pair arrived with Ibrahim's on/off girlfriend Chelsea Mitchell and good mate Charlotte Dawson, staying a few hours before heading back to the club king's Dover Heights mansion for a private after-party.
Rumoured to be engaged couple Brian McFadden and Vogue Williams didn't stay long, seen heading out as the party got rowdy about 3pm.
The Irish pair maintained they are not walking down the aisle any time soon.
"Everyone keeps saying 'oh congratulations' to me, it's pretty funny," Williams told Confidential.
Backing up from his headlining slot at the Sydney Resolution concert at Glebe Island, British playboy Jamiroquai looked a little worse for wear (actually, make that a lot), smoking heavily and throwing back vodkas on the south balcony.
Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Dan Single were their requisite PDA selves, she almost unrecognisable in a long blonde wig.
Aussie model Shanina Shaik, who recently walked for Victoria's Secret, arrived with her long-time boyfriend, US model Tyson Beckford, but would not be photographed.
Also there were designers Kirrily Johnston and Peter Morrissey, stylist Pip Edwards and Wallaby boyfriend Adam Ashley-Cooper and MasterChef cutie Hayden Quinn.
