An Adult Tale

       
Ever been to the shop and got £10 change instead of £5? Then you understand. Fortuitous can only explain my fortune when I found this fabric...I looked at the price and thought it was a bungle but I realised soon it wasn't a mistake, it was just that much of a bargain. Excited, I got home and made this strapless mini dress with an exposed front sand colour zip ...naughty girl chic because one pull on the zip and knickers says 'Bonjour' and dress is wiping the floor...(for about £8.50 per hour).

This night was Zalons Birthday at Funky Bhudda, I hate to name drop but I'm sure he'd appreciate the plug, he's Amy Winehouse's backing singer (watch Amy Winehouse outsung by Zalon) and has just released a single with Dionne Bromfield 'Ain't No Mountain High'. David Haye, Miss Frank and Kandy Rain were also there. They should have put the pepper on the steak but the meat was overcooked and dry and the pepper carried no heat. Graziella did a mini rap on the MIC but it wasn't X Factor....Soooooo computer says no, judges say sit down, be quiet and drink your alcoholic beverage and clubbers say 'Hey, hello, we're trying to dance here dude...how rude!'.

The highlight though was watching a random guy (on his own) stand and peruse his kill. After about an hour of sipping on Rose he then puts his plan into action....buy champagne for one and hope a number two is lured in by her thirst for the wealth. He moved from his nest and walked around confidently with the Moet bucket. So amusing I tell you. It made me wonder about men going clubbing alone. Strange. He was small a guy, not capable of getting a lady directly when you consider the options but I give him a star for sly efforts. Lol - can you believe that was the highlight?

Saturday

The evening whispered promises of a good night on the town in my ear. She was right, t'was a good night indeed. We ended up in a bar/club in Chelsea, somewhere downstairs. It's ridiculous for me not to recall the name but for once I hadn't organised this excursion. Can you believe for once I only drank two glasses of champagne? I'm no AA candidate but I can knock them back. Could the winds be carrying a change? Me thinks so, tres bien.

So, this time I used the red pure cotton and purple polyester (like satin but softer)...contrast colour contrast fabrics. The top was tres fitted with exaggerated cap sleeves (considering this is a prominent season feature *see Balmain), a slash open front and a back slit. Only a mini would complement this top. So a mini I made with red stitching, just to make it coherent while still contrasting. Paired with a studded black belt and purple satin peep toe platforms, it was pop, rock and domineering. I felt I could part the crowds with my shoulders. Ha, did I just make a biblical reference with shoulder pads? Only me! But this get up really gave me a dominatrix confidence and I felt statuesque. Can't quite explain it but I see now why Rihanna's addicted to it.
*see Project Runway for reference.
