Guess what happened on Friday....

Holey, 14 October, 2013 at 13:46 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 14

So on Friday I went to see a band called the Jim Jones Revue (check them out if you like your music noisy!) whilst wearing this dress with a red petticoat:


My new Vivien of Holloway purchase. So during the gig I go off to the toilet and as I open the toilet door I realise the whole band is standing outside the toilets (they'd come off stage for an encore), at which point the lead singer says to me 'nice dress'

I think my face looked like a combination of this: ? and ?

I was so impressed! Never have I had so many comments about my outfit before, 5 different people and the lead singer of the band said they liked it. I'm not used to turning heads or getting compliments from strangers?

Sorry for the fairly pointless post, but I was so pleased with myself!

    Stupidly I didn't get a pic of me wearing it!

    Pompey if you do go for voh I don't mind lending a petticoat if you need one, I've got dusky pink and red.

    Pugsley there is a voh dress to suit everyone! Also the top half is totally boned so it gives you a great shape.

    Enjayee they are amazing live if you get a chance to see them. For the first half of the gig they played songs from their latest album then after their encore they took requests from the crowd. It was brilliant! such a good atmosphere
