Oh thanks for the tip Feck I don't think I've got anything purple but DD's got some Rapunzel eyeshadow - that'll work right? Blush

It has been a long long time since I wore heels, I'm a bit nervous - might wake up with two black eyes!

mix in a tiny bit with some concealer or foundation and give it a shot - it might work.
Or mix in with some primer or moisturizer and gently dab foundation over it.

FeckTheMagicDragon · 01/10/2016 13:23

... and remember - pretty is as pretty does.

madgingermunchkin · 01/10/2016 13:25

It's about confidence. Fake it til you make it.

Shoulders back, deep breathe and smile. The only person who will know you are cacking yourself on the inside is you.

Lynnm63 · 01/10/2016 13:42

I'm pretty sure you look hotter than you think and your XP could look like Brad Pitt at his hottest think mid 1990's Meet Joe Black era and he still wouldn't be worth the shit he's put you through.

FriendofBill · 01/10/2016 13:51

Hear hear Lynne

FriendofBill · 01/10/2016 13:52

Lynnm even!

GiddyOnZackHunt · 01/10/2016 14:41

I bet you'll look great. And tonight is all about having a bit of fun so you don't have to be anything other than comfortable with yourself.

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 01/10/2016 15:02

I'm so happy for all you glam gals, but feeling a bit of a stick in the mud here. >Sigh

skyyequake · 01/10/2016 15:21

I'm not at all glam either Preemptive! I'm pretty sure if I ever get married I'll be wearing combat style boots under my dress Grin

Mix56 · 01/10/2016 15:27

The important part is to spend time with adults ! meet new people & get yourself a new group of friends.
Slowly your network will grow, & when you need a RL chat, or shoulder to cry on & or bestie. You will have someone near to hear/help/hug.
Have fun !

NoCapes · 01/10/2016 15:55

I am most certainly not glam Preemptive

I know, the only person I'm making an effort for tonight is me, so I can say actually Capes you're not all that bad, people do (hopefully) like you, and no people (hopefully) aren't recoiling in horror at your face, so stop making excuses and leave the pissing house once in a while!
That's all I'm hoping to get out of the night
That and a stonking great hangover Grin

skyyequake · 01/10/2016 16:08

Capes you're not all bad you're actually pretty darn good, people do like you even a bunch of weirdos on the internet, and no people aren't recoiling in horror at your face I bet people love your face!

Sky that reminded me of my wedding, my cousins dd aged 7ish was convinced I had wellies on under my dress. I've got a lovely photo somewhere of her lifting the hem of my dress to check.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 01/10/2016 16:22

You should in the interests of balance note that at twice your age and probaby more than 50% heavier than you, I will also be attempting to leave the house this evening. All while looking like a sack of spuds.
You otoh have youth, lightness and a bucketful of goodwill from us all.
Bloody well go out and have some fun.

Mix56 · 01/10/2016 17:06

I suggest you DON'T get pissed. You want to have fun, not cover yourself in ridicule !

ohfourfoxache · 01/10/2016 17:16

Just checking in to wish you a fabulous night Capes Thanks

NoCapes · 01/10/2016 17:44

Don't worry Mix I'm not going to get pissed, just a little drink to loosen me up a bit is all
If I just sniff a glass of wine I'm hungover for a week these days!

Oh hope you have a fab night Giddy Smile

I've just come upstairs to get ready and come over all nervous! Blush

skyyequake · 01/10/2016 17:52

You'll be fine Capes! You're going out to have fun, it's not a test! And even though your head is full of your XP he's not going to be there and he's not going to have a bloody clue what has happened unless you tell him don't tell him

You'll have a fab time Flowers Wine

NoCapes · 01/10/2016 17:59

Thanks sky

I've just not been out in such a long time, and even longer since I've been out without ExP that I'm a bit worried everyone will be in a 'pair' and I'll end up on my own
Plus I don't know half of these people
And I've not been in such a sociable situation in a loonnnnng time
And we're going into town
I'm really throwing myself in the deep end here 😳

madgingermunchkin · 01/10/2016 18:09

You'll be grand. You were worrying about kicking the waste of space out and going it alone, and look how well you're doing that!

Stop overthinking things. You'll have a great time, and wonder tomorrow what you were so worried about.

skyyequake · 01/10/2016 18:28

It might be just a mums night out with any DPs or DHs left at home... I know my DM used to go out with just mums about once every couple of months...

You'll do great, especially once everyone relaxes and the evenings in full swing... You'll wonder what you were so nervous of!

skyyequake · 02/10/2016 06:34

Hey Capes hope your night out was fab! and hopefully your hangover's not too bad Grin
