Over half a year of neglect for my poor blog. Oh dear.
I was just re-reading some of my old blogs and thought how terrible they sounded. Please don’t read them, it’s about as cringeworthy as watching a video of yourself, which is VERY bad.
So alot has happened since September. I mean, Christmas, my brithday and the official opening of a new theatre have been, as has… COMIC RELIEF!
That’s right, the lovely charity event that raises money to help in the UK and Africa. The charity event that lets me do something crazy to raise money. This year of course was no different. Seen as a picture speaks a thousand words, here you go:
My Comic Relief Outfit
Yep, it’s the traditional transvestite. The outfit includes: boobs, miniskirt, wig, tights and 4 inch heels! Oh yes! Just in case you’re wondering, the size 12, 4 inch heels were bought on eBay. Where else?! It didn’t help that the heels were about a size too big, meaning bathroom sponge had to be involved, stuffed down the back of the shoe.
So came the big day. And dear lord, did I get a reaction going into school, even though I arrived late (I didn’t walk all the way, I was part chauffered). Half a dozen phones were instantly whipped out to photograph me, and several questions were fired at me asking about the shoes and boobs (which were made of socks). Photos continued to be taken all day, so I was pretty much plastered accross Facebook. Surprisingly, lessons went on as normal (well, as normal as they can for a transvestite). I suppose it isn’t that normal to see someone with a huge wig, heels and boobs to be soldering a circuit board is it?
In the end I raised about £110 for Comic Relief, which is pretty good going, more than double what the full Nun’s outfit earned me a couple of years ago. Saying that, it did come at a price: my legs ached ALOT that weekend, and because my feet had been squashed into the end of those shoes all day, my feet went into spasm several times when I went swimming that evening. Nice. All worth it to see people’s faces though =D
In other news, MEGA PANIC, seen as GCSEs are starting soon. My French and Spanish orals start in less that 2 weeks, so wish me luck! Exams will probably be the reason you won’t see a blog for a little while.
Quite the tart, I’ll say!!!
