I can't have anyone around me. Other people's opinions confuse me. If my partner would like to sit and talk, I banish him. I need to concentrate. Body fat one saying, "Well, perhaps you can wear a gilet", and then myself panicking, "I don't own a gilet! "
Due to the fact I am so busy, there are times when I just don't feel like a woman. I actually don't have time to shave the bits I need to and oil the particular bits I like, so I just need to pay myself some attention to get involved the mood for a night out. I do a lot of prep the night before, like painting my nails, body brushing and a bit of fake bronze on my legs (until the weather makes trousers necessary, and then we all don't talk about what goes on under there until next summer). So I can get ready in 45 minutes, which isn't too bad. If it is a Bafta-type event or a wedding, I would take a bit longer. Then I must plan my outfit a couple of weeks before, with a back-up ready to go, also. I'm not a "throw-on" type of girl.
You need to be confident to savor yourself on a night out. Remember that everybody isn't looking at you and exactly you're wearing. Even if you have a big hole in your tights, folks are more interested in the conversation or themselves. I am still quite self-conscious at work events, though, where everyone actually is
looking at what most likely wearing and taking your picture. It can be a bit daunting, but I actually remind myself that it's all part of the job.
I love dressing up and venturing out for dinner, but there is that brilliant moment halfway through a function when I think about coming home, taking it all off and putting on our slippers.
