Made up for the night

Making arrangements for my nights out makes me feel like they’re getting closer, which they are every day I guess, but booking hotels and enquiring about makeovers gets me all excited. Yes, makeovers - that will be a new experience for me, and a much needed one too. I try to glean what make-up tips I can from books and magazines and forums and so on, but having someone make me up professionally will be especially educating, as well as a real luxury. I managed to persuade Emma to come with me to Pandora’s before Transmission night (only gentle persuasion was needed) for a basic makeover, the cheapest service they do. If all goes according to plan I think my camera may be busy that night. If you don’t know about Pandora de’ Pledge then check out the website; some of the most stunning pics I’ve seen. If I was better off I could really have some fun there, they do all sorts of other services too, for girls who want to be pampered, which is all of us I’m sure.

So I’m looking forward to that, and TM night, and meeting all the girls, and lots of shopping, and oh what a whirlwind of girlyness it will be. Wish I could do this all the time, but it’s going to be an expensive weekend; I must find places to go and people to meet closer to home so I can do it every weekend, or more often at least. My friend-in-the-know has offered to go out with me, so hopefully soon we’ll maybe try the gay/tv clubs in Blackpool. He’s gay so he’ll enjoy that. He's not an "admirer", but he’s very supportive of me. I’ll feel safe with him and as long as I can go out I don’t really mind where we go. That will get me out of the house at least but I do so want to meet more of you girls. So if there’s anyone in or around the north-west who just wants to get out please give me a shout. We can have girly chat and share make-up tips, and by then I’ll know how the professionals do it! At least I hope so; when I get home I'm going to ring Pandora's to book the appointment (I’m at work at the moment by the way). Work. It’s a four-letter word. Really, us girls have better things to think about…
