TBH, It is the norm for girls in newcastle to go out dressed like that - no matter what the weather. Although most of the bars in Newcastle are pretty close together in groups, so you never have to walk more than 20 yards to the next pub. Its all very well saying put you coat into a cloak room but bars dont have cloak rooms - so the majority of time you are left trying to balance coat/bag/drink - which isnt very easy. I never used to go out with a coat, and tbh, apart from if it is snowing/pissing down, I try and avoid taking one even now - too much hassle.
Bit of a shiter if you come out a club at 2am and there is an hour wait for a taxi - but there are ways and means of avoiding that.
Aside from that - I think the first pic is shocking, and cannot believe that someone would pause to take a picture - she looks like she is dying.
Also love the girls almost wearing the black dress and the girl in the white tutu - a real true representation of the girls from Newcastle.
