How to win friends and influence people (join Trannyweb)

Had a lovely girly night in last night with Cerys, who I’d met last week at the Trannyweb get-together. We’d chatted quite a bit and exchanged emails, like you do, and I liked her style, witty and intelligent. So it was nice to finally meet her and she didn’t disappoint in real life, despite that being her first night out in many years, so she was just a teeny bit nervous. I’m pleased to say she enjoyed herself and wants to get out more, good girl Cerys! So we both had a Saturday night free and decided to get together for some make up practice, it was a toss-up between her place or mine, and my place won. She arrived about 6pm and brought me flowers! This was a first, no-one’s ever done that before, such a sweet gesture, and they were lovely too. I’d already prepared some food to save us a bit of time, so we had a quick cup of tea then we got made up and dressed, just casually, for dinner. I’d made a nice hot curry and we had Chablis ice-lollies with it. Actually Cerys had brought a bottle of Chablis (good taste, babe) which was quite warm after 2 hours in the car, so I put it in the freezer and promptly forgot about it. It soon thawed enough to drink though, and was suitably cold for the curry. After dinner we went on to vodka (it’s compulsory in my house) and changed into something more elegant, both of us in black. I wore one of the dresses I bought on last week’s shopping trip with Sarah (Sarah bought one the same), and Cerys wore a long velvet evening dress. I’ve posted some more pics in my album for those of you that appreciate a nice dress, or two. Cerys looked lovely and I think appreciated the chance to dress and be able to relax without the pressures of going out, and we both needed the make up practice. We drank, chatted, listened to music until about midnight then went for a brief stroll up the road, just as Pippa and I had done a few weeks ago. Once again I had to lend my companion my big warm coat, but I was happy with my flimsy shawl. These southern girls you know – bunch of sissies.

So we got back, poured another drink and had a brief chat online with Pippa. I wished she could have been here to join in the fun, but I’m pleased to say that she will be returning, in no less than 2 days, so the food can’t be that bad at Lucy’s bistro. Actually Pippa has promised to cook this time, which will be a rare treat for me, but not as much as Pippa herself, who I love dearly (what’s for dessert sweetie?)

So Trannyweb strikes again, and I’ve made another true and very lovely friend. Had I not joined this site, I would have spent last night on my own, in casual clothes, though quite possibly drinking wine and eating curry, and wouldn’t have had the pleasure of a sister’s company. Nor would I have met Pippa, Sarah, Cathy, Nena, Jules, Emma, Mandy, other Sarah, other Lucy, Annette, Shan, Tina, Jayne, Lesley, Christina, Fay, Joanna, Kendra, Julie and Katie and oh god I’m bound to have forgotten someone. Not to mention all the other t-girls I’ve bumped into whilst out, or all the admirers for that matter, actually perhaps we really shouldn’t mention them…

Cerys and I talked about this last night (amongst other things); to meet other sisters who share our interests and really understand, is a real honour, and bloody great fun too! Cerys, I’m proud to be able to add your name to my list, and it is simply lovely to know you and have you as a friend who understands. Your place next time babe, and I’ll bring the drinks. Chardonnay ice-lollies ok?
