Nothing new to do :(

So just another coffee in a Kookai dress my size 8 daughter gave me. It's very restrictive, stretchy and fun. This dressing up is starting (after 50+ years), to get a bit boring (again). I really need a different pass time, wonder how hard it is to get into paragliding?

Makeup Ban

I've been banned from wearing makeup over Christmas as we have lots of conservative people in the house over the last couple of weeks who will be here for another 2 weeks. Unfortunately it's created a large financial issue as they eat their way through all the expensive dairy stuff even though they have bought some rice and bread (1kg of cheese is the same price of about 5kg of rice, but 5kg of rice isn't eaten in 3 days).

Anyway, having a full house is what's causing the makeup ban - not that makeup really makes me any more presentable but I do feel younger for wearing it.

when your daughter gives you a dress

I thoroughly enjoyed wearing the new dress my daughter gave me after deciding she didn't want it and couldn't return it (that's the reason I bought the pink one during Black Friday sales that we share).



What she didn't tell me was..... that after about 12 steps the static makes the dress cling to everything from waist downwards .....and I wasn't wearing the correct underwear for that - not that it stopped me from coffee or Christmas shopping. Make up also felt more optional than requirement.

The next day I was better prepared as I stopped at a pub for a drink and then Sal's pizza for dinner.

 

Saturday eventually arrived and I was feeling in a more - miniskirt mood. I'm a bit upset I don't really have enough tops or even skirts, yet wife still wants to unclutter and put a lot of clothes into our basement storage so our chest of draws isn't overflowing.

time to enjoy

The week started off well with a dinner with Jan at a Thai restaurant. I took the photo before she got there as I wanted to see how the new dress I co-own with daughter was looking (better on her than me, but she does have youth on her side, and gender).


Afterwards we went to a local beach as I wanted an interesting backdrop for more photos



I'm not fond of my wig anymore so I purchased 2 others, which arrived today. I also washed my wig and used fabric conditioner, which now looks like a new wig. The two new wigs looked great on the models, but after trying them on, I found I loved the colour but they went straight into the bin as I really need a fringe.

Today, I pretty much had a whole day to myself to do whatever I wanted. Spent 2 hours playing with my drone, put up a trellis, mowed the lawns. Just wasn't in the mood for girl time :(
