The Bluestocking. All gerbils welcome, must have own frou-frou skirt.

[Magpiecomplex]

New thread!

Yay, Woley!

Wait! So the frou frou skirts are only for the gerbils

Oh thank fuck for that!

<Goes to take ridiculous outfit off>

It's more of a bustle than a skirt, but I think I look quite stylish!

I may or may not have a multi-ruffled black skirt in my dressing-up cupboard. Just below knee length.

I’ve never been to this party before but I’m gatecrashing. No frou frou skirt but I do have a fancy polka dot 50s number!

Apparently (taps nose in a conspiratorial manner) sheer layers are going to be "in" this spring and summer. So we'll all be uber stylish in our frou frou skirts!

Very fetching! Welcome, a gerbil will be along to take your order.

Last thread all locked up.

Can a bar gerbil bring me a drink

Well hello! Would you like a drink? Just grab a passing gerbil and place your order, they are quite efficient.

Nice fancy polka dot 50s number you're wearing.

Drinks, light refreshments, ice cream...

Dragons do not wear frou-frou skirts.
Especially not rocket-propelled swamp dragons.

Something like this, @MaggieBsBoat?

For any mystified newcomers:

The Blue Stockings Society was founded by women emphasising education and mutual cooperation. Men could attend as invited guests, but in this Women's Pub, they are only welcome to peer enviously through the windows.

All women welcome!

All tastes catered for.

All food containing calories will not increase waistlines.

All drink containing alcohol will not intoxicate beyond the mildy merry and slightly inhibited stage. Guaranteed no hangovers.

Don't mind the gerbils, hamster, capybaras, quokkas and other assorted rodents. They're all female, all staff and very accommodating...

Hello @MaggieBsBoat. Nice to meet you.

I do not own anything frou frou. My beak is quite jazzy enough.

<Stretches, yawns opens one eye shuts again>

Um Boily...who is that BabyBoily on the last thread? Don't think you can disown her by running over here!

That IS NOT mine!

I'm not claiming her!

Nope! Nope! Nope!

Methinks the beetle doth protest too much

well there was That one time when I got with Bert the beetle from Staunch Ally and then I woke up surrounded by hundreds of white balls around me. I thought his bean bag was leaking. Luckily we had gone to his house so I left him to Hoover up.

You don't think....

No I mean that was only a month's ago. It couldn't possibly be mine

<Goes off to Google beetle pregnancy>

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! 4-19 days to hatch.

Oh shit! The CMS payment is going to be off the charts!

There you all are! Sorry I'm late, guess where I've been all day? Yes that's right.How many tribunals am I holding up? Fife!🙄

I'm with Errol and Fuzz frou-frou skirts... a resounding no, and I've never felt happier to NOT be a gerbil so I don't have to wear one😦

Hello there, MaggieBsBoat, welcome to the Bluestocking, hope you're settled into a nice comfy chair by the fire and a gerbil - try not to laugh at the skirts, they're embarrassed enough poor things! - has provided you with a hot choc with all the trimmings.

Did you not see me waving @MarieDeGournay? I was just behind you leaving the tribunal. I completely missed the move. So I'm sorry I didn't help. You've done a lovely job. I've never owned a froufrou skirt.

ahhh I needed a good kip after that tribunal fair blew my brain.

Can i have some snowballs and a glass of house white please.

So the baby beetle...

Definitely not mine.

Look! It looks nothing like me!

<looks around> something is strangely different, cant put my finger on it…..

Sorry Banned, there is a few new gerbils on shift.

They'll learn!
