London

On Saturday
Debs and I packed our bags (AND fur coats - NOT REAL ones for all those
worried about animal rights! - because it was already snowing when we left
Northampton) for a weekend in London. We hadn't been
for AGES so we decided to treat ourselves by staying overnight. We booked
into The Tower Thistle - right by Tower Bridge and VERY handy for Storme's
and WayOut. We'd found a really good deal on teletext - £39 per person per
night INCLUDING bed and full English breakfast. We've stayed there before and
never had any problems coming or going 'en femme' as long as we're discreet. I digress….
We got there about lunchtime, met up with our friend Joanne from the Isle of
Wight, and set off for lunch at Randall & Aubin's in Soho (the food there
is DELICIOUS and the servers are soooo camp and friendly) The
afternoon we spent SHOPPING in Soho and nearby Oxford Street - we bought a
few accessories, jewellery, and a feathery head thing for Debbie, which she
just HAD to have to complete her outfit for the evening! Exhausted
we went back to The Tower for a relaxing drink in the bar and a snack before
getting ready for the evening. At 10.30 we
were made up, glammed up, and ready to hit the town! With a
"Let's go, girls" and remembering our motto, "Bold is
Best", we called the lift, walked out across the foyer (leaving other
hotel guests gaping in our wake <g>) and down into the garage below. We got to Storme's around 11 to be greeted by Andrea the new
proprietor and hostess. It was just getting busy and we chatted with lots of
friends. We stayed to watch the cabaret which was a most welcome innovation by Andrea who was busy taking lots of photos. To see them you'll need to go to her website which is www.andrea-uktv.com |

Then we
were off to WayOut where everything was
BUZZING with excitement! It was Carnival night, and the artistes were
SPECTACULAR and their costumes were FABULOUS! Here are a selection of the photos we took |

The cabaret finished at about 3 am. We were sooo exhausted and at 3.30 decided to call it a day. We couldn't go to bed though without a couple more photos, especially of the delectable Miss Debbie J |
