“Eds bar” is the name of a popular nightspot in Nadi, and is frequented by many locals and tourists. I particularly mention tourists because you are bound to find one there each time you visit. In my opinion, “Eds” is the only decent nightspot in Nadi i.e. if you’re looking to have fun without getting a black-eye, compared to most of the dodgy nightspots there.

Unlike many of the bars or clubs in Suva, “Eds Bar” doesn’t have a strict dress code, and you can basically show up on a busy night in shorts and flip-flops.

Well enough with the seemingly promotion of “Eds Bar” and on to the main issue of this post. If you’re from Fiji or have connections to Fiji, most of you would have probably received an email in your inbox with the subject “Eds Bar”. If you haven’t, then you can probably expect one soon or you can view the main content right here. Please, no applause, I insist.

The email contains pictures of two females in their bikinis dancing on poles, posing behind the bar, on the dance floor, etc. What has made this email so popular in local circles is that occurrences such as this are rarely caught on camera for the amusement and entertainment of people here.

The background story (thanks to the coconut wireless), is that this incident occurred on a quiet Tuesday night (if it were a busy one, they certainly would have been swamped left, right, center, above, below), and the two performers were flight attendants of a foreign airliner. At the rate that this email is traveling, hopefully it doesn’t land in the inbox of their boss.

Special props goes out to the photographer for sending out these pics. To the two performers, we at “Failed Paradise” and our readers sincerely hope that you won’t get into trouble with your boss over this, and we send a big warm “vinaka vakalevu” for entertaining this tiny nation. [snickers]

It’s quite obvious that they’re rooting for Fiji

The victory dance…

…Wait for it… 1, 2, 3…

… “It’s Britney B*tch… Gimme Gimme“ …

…“Gimme Gimme more”

Yes, a local female patron in the background is
loving every moment of this

For those that have never been to “Eds Bar”, here is proof
of the laxity in dress code. Shorts and Flip-flops. Suva, please take note

The slogan on the guy’s t-shirt says it all

I wonder what that guy is smiling about… hmm

Isn’t it amazing that there’s more than
one photographer at work

That there is a nice “Bula shirt” a.k.a. Hawaiian Shirt

How many bottles can you see in here?

Taking time out to pose with a fan. Which one’s the star?

Are those Milo cans in the top right corner?

Notice the red eyes in amongst the crowd below? Cool!

I saw a scene like this in Coyote Ugly

Where’s Wally?
