Adventures in gender performance

So. I succeeded at shopping! I bought an awesome dress! This one actually:
I look totally smoking in it. Got red shoes to match. And mascara. And lip gloss. And foundation concealer stuff. All told, I've spent £100 today on looking nice tomorrow. Part of me is justifiably horrified at the waste of money, but the rest of me is glad I didn't listen to the horrified part, because I'm going to look awesome and that will make me feel comfortable enough to dance and laugh and have a good time.
Enjoying my pyjamas at the moment, however.

You need to come visit us oop noooorth! We can go out in our red shoes and rock the city like only true southerners can!

Afraid I won't have my car so I'm stuck at the hotel I think. Am planning to abuse the access to swimming pool though... :D
