It's quit a big folk gig (normally do ones on a small scale and am there as background noise)

This time I am part of a band and all eyes will be on us

Anyway, I want something nice to wear. Not trousers because they make me look stumpy.

I am 5ft 1, built like a badlt tied sack of spuds, reddy, blondey browny hair. Have big bazookas. I am playing the cello, so it needs to be something that allows me to, ahme, open my legs.

Will see a lot of old faces there - I don;t want them to think I have gorn off.

SheikYerbouti · 08/03/2008 15:31

Went opff tom play bvello

Fit of inspiation

I won;t touch it now for weeks.

Anyway - I don;t like tres because I have BIG thighs. Like thighs I could murder soeone with (either through cushing them or through shock atn thioer bigness and mingingness)

Ok in skirts, but skirt can't be too toght because off the need to have legs open

Can't do long tops becasuse they either hang off boobs or make me look 6 months pregnant.
