Hehe Robbie. No it isn't. Thanks for the suggestion x
Is that a meet I see brewing? ;)

Judging by the distinct lack on interest in this thread I daresay not. Beginning to feel like Cinderella now. I'm just not going to make it to the ball. ;)
Whooo Hoooo! A Forum Ball!!! Posh frock do!!!
Hmmm, all the clothing I haven't worn is probably a bit 'goth' for that though :(
Or I could wear my leather corset and matching boots :)
well all the girls at Hustle dress up.......:clap:
svetlenka 12-08-2005, 10:08 I would be up for a dressing up night out, and so would my house mates.
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 10:16 If not, I shall start wearing these things to the local Co-op in the afternoon just so they get worn.
:help:
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 11:17 I have a similar issue sugarnspice.. I bought a fabulously gorgoeus dress (well OK 2 dresses) for the races and a wedding, but the races got canx! I now have 2 fabulous new dresses (ok ok and hat, shoes, handbags, jewellery - I went a tad mad!!) and only one occasion!
Maybe we should all get together and just go out in town looking fabulous!
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 11:22 Oooooh now you're talking! Finally!
Yeah maybe we could do that & if we look far more fabulous than anyone else then that's just their problem for refusing to wear anything but jeans.
I love my jeans tbh but I've got some bloody fantastic dresses (bags, accessories and obviously shoes) that really need to get out of that wardrobe and on to my bod for some drinkies and some dancing.
:clap:
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 11:26 U see my issue is that I had chosen which of my fabulous dresses to wear to the wedding now I'm all stuck again!
I think we'd get laughed out of the city centre and if i'm honest, I wouldn't dare wear either of these dresses in town as i'd be afraid of beer / wine related injuries to them!
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 11:28 Yeah I know what you mean. Though my dresses aren't "posh frocks" or anything. They're just a bit sexy but I don't see that many dresses on ladies anymore.
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 11:31 U see mine are posh frocks - sexy too though!
And no, u don't see many people wearing dresses anymore.
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 11:35 Hmmmm..... back to square one somewhat.
I could at least help you decide which dress to wear to the wedding if you like? :)
Give me descriptions!
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 11:43 OK here goes... both 100% pure silk
OK I tried 3 times to describe the dresses and failed!
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 11:47 Colours? Styles? Accessories?
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 13:31 Both very floaty and delicate, one is white with roses on and one is multi coloured but predominately green.
Both are low cut at the front and relatively figure hugging!

Phew sugarnspice! Saved at the last minute from carrying out your threat to wear your frocks to Northern Avenue Co-op. So, now, where are you and CherryNicole going out in your frocks? The Vulcan or the Arbourthorne Hotel? :wink: :smile:
Hey girls! I know what you all mean, from the other side of the coin, I as bloke like to wear a nice suit and shirt and be surrounded by glamourous women. If you all get something together for a glamourous night out n fancy some male company, gimme a shout.

Hope u get something sorted girls!!!

Oh yeah we need more nicely dressed men to accompany us!
To be fair, no man looks properly dressed without either cherry or sugar on their arm ;)
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 14:22 Hehe. We need a James Bond type fella & we can be Bond Girls for the evening. Now that would be fabulous.
Though that's probably another thread & I was only meaning to keep that in my head .... ;)
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 14:27 The latest offer is very hard to resist - I think we need to see photos though ladies...

Nicole has perused some pictures and she thinks he just about meets the criteria ;)
BruciesBabe 12-08-2005, 14:41 Sounds good - lets sort it!!

So feeling curious Sugar did the same - and what do you know? We NEED to do this! :heyhey:
Just so long as you're not expecting me to whisk u away in a helicopter Aston Martin or owt!! Sure, I'm up for a laugh! Lemme know if anyone makes any plans, in the meantime I shall endeavour to scour the streets and listings of this fine steel city, searching for the appropriately glamourous venues!
How about our own 'Forum Ball'?
We could find a private venue - posh frocks and suits only :D
Now which DJ shall we have? :suspect:
sugarnspice 12-08-2005, 17:15 How has wanting to wear a nice dress ended in some private role-playing party with me & osiris?
Hehehehehe.
I haven't actually told him yet ..... :heyhey:

Now thats a damned good idea!
How bout we see if we can get this sorted all "in-forum", will this require a new thread I wonder?!....
Cristal008 12-08-2005, 20:07 Hoow
I would realy like to join you, as I am also missing to wear my posh dresses.
Can I join you ladies?
I would also come with you walking through town or co-op just for fun.
And yes we need more gentlemens.
Greetings Cristal
PS please let me know if you need help in planning/ finding locations
SilentStatic 12-08-2005, 21:26 Seriously, if someone wants to organise a posh do, then I'll be happy to get some more use out of my dinner suit :cool:
It's your thread Sugar.
Where's the 'Forum Ball' thread then? ;)
SilentStatic 13-08-2005, 11:08 Strix, are you still going to be wearing your leather corset and boots? Just out of interest :P
sugarnspice 13-08-2005, 11:19 Hmmmm ..... not sure I actually have "posh frocks" for a ball kind of night though. I just wanted to wear one of the sexy little numbers stuck in my wardrobe. Babydoll dresses mostly.
When I said glamour ... I didn't necessarily mean full-on ball gowny stuff.
Oh dear oh dear it looks as though I am fully justified in buying a new dress. ;)

And I believe the ball was your idea my forum friend ... now I wouldn't want to step on the toes of the forum posting Queen now would I? ;)
UnkleBob 13-08-2005, 11:42 CAN I COME?:clap:
How about Brighton Beach when it reopens at the Town Hall?
Brilliant night out, lots of people and atmosphere, and you can get away with wearing what you like.
Top night out!
Elphi 24 13-08-2005, 15:12 Hi All
I work for a charity and am organisng a black tie dinner (not till March unfortunately) and details are sketchy at the moment (only just started work on it). It would be a great opportunity to dig out those evening/cocktail/prom dresses for the ladies!! If anyone wants more details pm your email/address and I'll send out details just as soon as I have things a bit more organised!

Yey Brighton Beach!! Is the next one October?? Dunno whether I'd want to wear my posh frock there though, I like to go alternative ;)
I would not want to try and organise a SF ball....sounds too much like hard work, but if someone really wants to I can assist
I go away for the night and come back to find that you've all been scheming without me. :P
Sounds interesting though. A forum ball you say? :clap:

Nooo, next Friday! At the University.

Didn't spot you in the Lescar for the CSKA Sofia match Andy. I'd have told you about it if you'd been where you were supposed to be ;)
I'll think you'll find I was standing by the fruit machine for a while, then sat in my usual place for the last 20 mins. ;)
So why exactly didn't you say hello? :suspect:
Because I don't know what you look like?
How many beagles do you see in the Lescar being dragged round by a giant and a dwarf? :suspect:
I did look for you online before we left, but you weren't there :(
oooooo, I remember looking at a really cute dog, and nearly told the owner how cute the dog was!!!!! Really wanted to pat said dog on the head, but was drunk and thought owner may not appreciate it. *thinking what owner looked like*
Hang on, I seem to remember you having blonde hair, but you have dark hair don't you?
Incidentally, what the hell am I doing on the internet on a Saturday evening. I'm sooooooo bored. Want to be out and about. :(

Look again! (http://hitched.photobox.co.uk/album/1436489)
It changes - depending on the light ;) Sometimes it's red :rolleyes:
Now I need a hyperlink to you, so I can figure out if the *drunk* bloke who was staring at my dog was actually you :suspect:

Well.... I could pass for a baddie from a Bond film, if that counts? An English Nik Nak?!
Um. Well.
Classy venues for dress wearing - can't believe no one has suggested these !!!!!
Gatecrasher on most nights is suitable for dress wearers... Mondays are good cos non too pricey and people seem to make the effort.
Also... the Friday SoulPhisticated night at Tequila on West Street - really funky soul sound, very smooth and classy - certainly very "Bond".
If I can find someone to sit the corgi's for the night - count me in.

You what?? Have u NO idea what glamorous is?? Monday is meat-market night, the only kind of glamour you'd see in Crasher on a monday night is page-3 type glamour!
See you in there 2moro!
Besides, can you really see anyone wearing a suit there beside the bouncers?
If you want to try anywhere else on a monday, why not try Banus every monday..
Its a very classy venue!!

that is at Banus right :suspect: classy :gag: :gag:
sugarnspice 14-08-2005, 17:32 Ok ... I'm starting this thread all over again....
I have 2 young children so I usually spend all week covered in yoghurt, milk & banana etc with hair scraped back,no make-up and whatever clothes I pick out of the drawer first.
I help with jigsaws, painting, watch cbeebies with a child on each knee, change nappies, read stories and deal with public tantrums in the supermarket.
I rarely go out & when I do it's not a little babydoll dress kind of evening - it's a jeans night.
Soooooo I JUST WANT TO WEAR A DRESS & FEEL REMOTELY GLAMOROUS FOR A BIT please.
Thank you x
sugarnspice 14-08-2005, 17:46 Can you hear the violins playing yet? ;)

yea mate its rite classy...love it in there
get someone to take u to a nice charity gig/ball or xmas do.
most decent events at baldwins Omega acomodate a variety of dress styles & u shouldn't feel out of place.
sugarnspice 15-08-2005, 09:57 That's a good idea, thanks.
Errrr..... any offers? :suspect:
terribly sorry, one made certain assumptions regarding your opportunities to wear a glamorous dress.
i would be more than happy to offer but i don't think i fit the bill.
sugarnspice 15-08-2005, 10:12 Don't get me wrong, there is a man in my life, though the chances of him taking me out somewhere to wear my fabulous dresses are somewhat slim. :(
sugarnspice 16-08-2005, 22:42 So, anyway, tis 23.40pm on a Tuesday night. I'm sat at the computer drinking cherryade wearing a lovely little black number & stilettos. Yay!
I decided that if I couldn't get to the glamour out there, I'd dress up anyway.
I look ravishing, even if I do say so myself.
Good lord, what am I doing? :loopy:
SilentStatic 16-08-2005, 22:58 Posting while drunk?
That's not really cherryade, is it :P

OOhh cherryade....must be because you're missing old cherry here.
Anyhooows, lets just go out one night, dressed up reet posh, don't mind where (as I'll be telling all our followers that we've been to a reet posh do anyway) and all will be well
sugarnspice 17-08-2005, 15:36 I am indeed missung you Cherry dear rather a lot. That's a good idea, we'll go out dressed up to the eyeballs & pretend we went somewhere oh-so-sophisticated like.

I believe I was lucky enough to see this fine young lady in a white, low cut top this evening! What a figure, enhanced by a very sexy outfit, I am a very lucky man!!!
