Dazzling Social Whirl

Went to the theatre again last night - Copacabana at the Cochrane Theatre done by the NatWest Theatre Company of which my mate Suz is a member. It was actually much better than I expected. The mics were set a bit low to begin with but they soon sorted that out and the whole thing was pretty cool. It was particularly fun to watch the dancing and think "That really could be me up there". Plus I want Lolas red beaded dress :) The actual storyline reminded me of a cross between Bugsy Malone and something else - the first bit is pure Bugsy - and, in the way of musicals it was more like a modern fairytale than anything else. The setting and costumes were fantastic. They must have spent a fortune on dresses for the dancers alone - they seemed to have a different one for each dance! Also, special mention goes to the lady who played Conchita (the girlfriend of the baddy who helps Lola out) - apparently she stepped in at New Year when the previous girl had to drop out and she was fantastic - glam, gorgeous and with a great accent and singing voice :)

Boo!

The ring I wear on my left hand has just broken :( It's very thin at the back and the band's just snapped through. Anyone recommend a reliable not too expensive jewelers in London?

Might as well admit it...

I'm addicted to hugs. And hugs from Alex in particular. When I'm feeling stressed or tired or grumpy I try to take a deep breath and remember what it feels like to have a hug (preferably a nekkid one :) ).

Alex is coming round tonight :)

Feeling good :)

I'm feeling sexy this evening. Not 'wanting sex' sexy, just 'looking good' sexy. Even though I've been eating really badly for the last couple of days, I was up really late last night and didn't have a chance to wash my hair this morning I find myself walking with a swing* and smiling at the guys getting their coffee. Which is a virtuous circle of course as people always notice you more when you're positive which makes you feel even better. Now if only I could work out what starts it off then I'd be laughing :)

*I have what I think of as my tarty walk which tends to come out at times like this. A slight swing of the hips to emphasis the curves and a slight swing of the arms and shoulders to emphasis the boobs. Head up, make eye contact, smile. It works like a charm. You just look like you've got a little more energy than normal but you get a *lot* more noticed :)
