I am attempting to grow it on the top, to perhaps end up with a bit of a swept over undercut look, which might work OK in both modes. He sort of put me off the undercut though, he left it long on top with no 2 on the sides, but it sort of blends in. Will see how it grows.
I was contemplating going to Nottingham early and having a look around, but it would have meant either changing for the evening, or going in something that was OK for both. Decided just to go for the evening in the end.
The dress I chose was nice, but has some weird elastic that sort of seemed to want to expose me !
Managed to get the chargers working in the car park, the Victoria Centre North one - there was a review that said you could only pay with RFID, but I installed the app for the company and was able to start a charge via that once I had faffed about adding a credit card to it.
The meeting pub 'The New Foresters' has recently changed hands, and there was some concern it would lose it's LGBT+ status, but it seems to be even better than it was before.
They have a great neon sign in the beer garden for a start ! Couldn't get full advantage of it, as there were a group of fairly drunk people sat in front of it, but there will be more opportunities.
It was a fairly good turnout, and met up with a few people I knew, and also had some conversations with some that were new to me. Got a nice FB message from one who added me the next day. Sold some of them on the idea of LFF, so perhaps will see them there too.
I had tried to get one of the twitch streamers I follow to attend, but she bailed, but think she's going to LFF next time.
The people who normally end up with the role of herding us around Nottingham didn't seem to be there that night, so we spent all of it in the pub. But it was still a really nice night. They had a singer on too who seemed pretty good. Better than the Karaoke they used to have on.
I left about midnight, it's over an hour to get home from there, so it's best to set off before getting too tired.
Good to hear you had a nice time and that the pub has kept going. The New Foresters feels like a bit of local history, so a win that it's still going.
ReplyDeleteYes it's nice to see it evolve, and they seem keen on having events, and different acts on too. I have a friend who is going to the "Second Chance For A Last Dance - Queer Prom" in October, I might have to post that to chamms forum.
DeleteSounds like a lovely night out! Get you gallivanting about! :)
ReplyDeleteYes was good thanks, and even happier now I can charge while I have fun :)
DeleteCool photo Isobel. Love the outfit, it looks like a playsuit, did you say its' a dress?
ReplyDeleteGood to read you had a good time.
Thankyou, yes it's a bit of a weird dress, I think the ruffled front is supposed to try to hide your belly a bit. But the elastic for the ruffles makes it rides up and looks a bit ambiguous. I still like it though :)
