    I go to the The Barley Mow in Bedford (MK40 1EZ) for a Munch once a month

    It's a gay bar and tranny friendly, they've seen me wearing school girl outfits to more normal GG type clothes and no ones blinked a eyelid

    Sorry for not posting back here ages ago, im ashamed of myself.

    What a blinding night out that was though.

    i was wearing the outfit E-J had insisted i wore a few weeks ago, but i also had some new glasses and earrings as well. They have a pink teardrop stone that dangles down on a string of tiny pink stones. i looked in the mirror and was very pleased with the look, then i did my nails just before E-J came down all ready to go. She looked lovely in the pink short sleeved blouse i bought her and she was wearing her grey cardy coat thingy so it looked real pretty and she looked gorgeous.

    E-J's mum drove us to the Carvery and we walked in to find four of her work friends already there. There was Dawn, who is a bit of a joker, Pat who was just coming down with a cold, poor thing, Tracy who is tiny and lovely with her betty boop type of short curly hair, and finally Linda, whose slightly older than the other girls, but was right up for a good time.

    Me and E-J went to the bar to get everyone some more drinks, and although the barman gave me some looks, they weren’t bad ones, and not many other of the staff seemed to notice, or care. When we were sat drinking and chatting whilst we waited for our table, I noticed that Tracy had one of them medi-alert bracelets, so i asked her if she was allergic to something. It turns out she has a pace maker fitted. She said they had to fit one because her normal heart rate was 200 beats a minute, which is way to high. This seemed to come as a surprise to all the girls, as did Linda’s revelation that she’s a type one Diabetic. I can see im gonna have to come regular and get these girls together more often.

    We were told our table would be about an hours wait after our first drinks, then i could have sworn they said there was a stripper, and so did some of the other girls, but apparently they were calling “slipper”, which our table was booked under LOL

    All of us settled for the carvery except Pat, who was on a diet, so she went for a salad.

    As we were stood in line, i suddenly felt kinda strange. This was my first time out of my comfort zone fully dressed. Like i had stepped out of night time Mandy's world and into the normal world of daytime Mandy. I was well out of my normal environment as i usually stick to the gay bars, because they are so much more tolerant. I wasn’t feeling scared or even nervous and everyone seemed to be cool with it, even the three girls queuing behind us. they were looking over, then whispering to each other, then looking over again, so i just let them get on with it. Its what im aspiring to do, to get out and be seen so people start to see it as somewhat normal. Everyone knows transvestites exist, they just never see us, so im out to be seen, good or bad.

    Pat was so pleased with herself for only having a salad, she treated herself to a Knickerbocker Glory for pud LOL The rest of us were stuffed, so we just sat and looked at her struggle to get through it all.

    With the meal over and the restaurant starting to quieten down, we headed over to the bar so Dawn and me could have a smoke. I noticed one bloke who was giving me a real good look, and he seemed like he was a bit on edge. He was rubbing his wrists in a nervy sort of way, so i made eye contact with him once, then kept him in my field of vision, but not looking directly at him. Next thing i know, he’s got his drink and has gone, so no problem there tankfully. Once the smoking was over, we said good night to Linda, then piled into three cars and headed further into town to the Barley mow.

    The girls weren’t sure, so we decided to go to the Ship instead, because it came recomended by their significant others. As we got to the door, i saw a chalk board with “Pub football team” written on it. “Oh god, this isn’t gonna be pretty” I thought, but followed the girls in anyway. We had hardly got through the door when i heard “Oh look.....GIRLS are in the bar” like girls are some sort of rare and exotic species they never see. Now why would that be i wonder? i was very glad there was still six of us and needless to say we turned round and walked back out, down the road, and into the Barley mow.

    None of the girls had ever been in a gay bar before, but they seemed to get comfy quite quickly. Then Dawn found the porn and filled her bag. “Just dont let your husband find it” I said. Later on, when I went to the bar, the girls started asking E-J about my boobs. They're the teardrop silicone type so they have a reasonably good feel, and look just perfect. Once I was back with the drinks, they were asking me about them, so I let them have a go. The “boob squeezing” was a larf but i so should have insisted on being able to return the favour. LOL

    I saw the landlord at the bar at the end of the night, and told him he had a lovely place that came highly recommended on the internet, which earned me a free drink. I walked back over to our table, to see the 4 girls all looking at me, grinning from ear to ear. “What” I said smiling back.

    After that it was quite late, or early, i cant remember now, so we all headed off home. Me and E-J sat and chatted for a while and the next thing i know, its almost morning.

    Of all the nights out ive had, that ranks as one of the best ever. Thanx G/F
    And thanx for the recomendation Loki
