As I’m writing this I’m waiting for my father to arrive to pick me up and take me to my brother’s bucks night. I’m feeling a little jittery as I’m never actually gone out socially with my brothers before, we don’t really have that sort of relationship. Or I could just be feeling the effects of no food since 11am, four strong coffees and my new crazy meds. Either way I think I’ll have the prawns for dinner.
So I spent quite a while trying to decide what to wear. Sure, I knew what to wear to the queer thing I’m going to afterwards, but I can’t wear that stuff to that bastion of straightdom, the coogee bay hotel. My mother said I have to "dress up" for tonite, which has totally different conotations for the straights than for the queers. I don’t think turning up in nipple clamps and arseless chaps is what she had in mind. The basic look was easy to decide upon, but choosing shoes and accessories was a nightmare. How to look gay, but not too gay? So, navy trousers, my funky italian shoes, white collared button up shirt with faded print, leather wrist cuffs, and my blue RBK glasses. I call the look sophisticated gaybo. I actually am quite happy with it, although I didn’t think I would be.
Wish me luck. Hope I don’t get bashed, or worse, hit on.
