Right, now that that's sorted....

OK, costume problem is solved! I have to tell you though, it was a fucking drama – I already had a corset but was planning to wear a slut length skirt, suspenders and heels (oh, and underwear of course) – which meant I had to go buy a skirt because slut length is not a length that normally forms a part of my wardrobe – I have a thing about random strangers being able to see what I had for breakfast which is why I will wear short skirts, but never dangerously so – besides, when I am drunk and running round and being an idiot on the dance floor with my friends (or crash tackling people with K1) I need something that isn’t going to show the whole world what colour knickers I’m wearing (if any).

I have discovered however that it’s like shopping for the perfect white shirt – you know those shopping trips where all you want is the ‘perfect’ white shirt and you can’t find one?? One has the wrong cuffs, one has a shadowed white pinstripe that is ‘too dark’, one is too tight, another too loose, another is perfect except that it strains across the bust, one is not ‘white’ enough – you get the picture - there were NONE that were just quite slutty enough.

So in the end, I gave up.

I went to AP and bought me some of those tie side underwear they do and got a new pair of the seamed stockings and a suspender belt (I never realised before but I didn’t own a plain black satin suspender belt – they were all lace / patterned / something or other).

So my costume now stands as – black satin corset, black satin tie side underwear (and the ties are quite long so that means I’ll be able to do a double knot in them – yay!) black satin suspender belt and flesh coloured stockings with a black seam and black, 5 inch patent stilletto’s.

I’ll also be wearing a black silk robe over the top (I am not quite THAT much of an exhibitionist to wander round a party full of people I have never met or only met briefly without some form of covering to make it a little less indecent). Add some whore red lipstick and matching nails (Dior of course darling, but whore red nonetheless) and I have the basics in place.

Hair and exact amounts of eye shadow still to be decided…

And there will be no pictures. I don’t even want to THINK about what you’d all do with any pictures taken at this party!
