BNO - wooo!

Chloe and I hadn't seen each other for a while so we decided to set a date to catch up and go out, after bouncing ideas around the country of where to go out we decided to head over to the good ol' BNO in Milton Keynes. Leading up to BNO I'd met Aimee, a girl from Exeter who's a few months ahead of me on the NHS conveyor belt so I invited her to join me.

I managed to get off work early so I could get up to Exeter to pick up Aimee and get on our way up to Milton Keynes, the pick up was swift and we were on our way through hideous Friday traffic, well I say through I really mean spluttering along with everyone else wanting to get up to MK. We finally arrived at the Windmill where Aimee was staying, Chloe and I were booked in there too but a room had become available at the Campanile and Chloe couldn't get hold of me (while I was at work) so a brash decision was made, not the end of the world but a bit annoying for Aimee - Sorry.

I got to the Campanile a little frazzled, it was great to see Chloe, I nipped in the shower and proceeded to get ready... about an hour later after being told I had to wear a skirt I was ready and on my way to pick up Aimee from the Windmill hoping my space would still be there when I returned, alas it wasn't and after shaking my fist which I was told wasn't very lady like I managed some precarious parking leaving my car flirting with the tranny-trench.

We joined everyone in the Hotel bar for a drink before heading over to the Pink Punters Night Club, it was great to see so many familiar faces, Stacey, Claire, Nesssie, Stella, Laura and Amy who I'd briefly met at Sparkle. Chloe and I had a good ol' catch up telling her about everything that's been going on with me, she's so lovely and wise - she gives the best advice.

Deciding it was time to head over to PP we made our way across the car park to the tranny-trench which almost got the better of Chloe, luckily she regained her composure and managed to get to the road unscathed. On our way over we bumped in to Danny who said "Have you seen my girlfriend?" which made me chuckle.

The rest of the night went in a flash, chatting to old and new faces, there was quite a good turn out which is nice to see. I spent some time chatting to Amy (GG), we got on really well and talked about everything and anything. I'd noticed a TS I had met up in Birmingham a while back who looked fabulous, not that she didn't before, Chloe said I should go and say hi which to be fair I didn't need too much pushing as I had Dutch courage by my side so I made my way over to her and said "Hi, do you remember me?" to which she said "No". Oh dear, I tried to explain where she knew me from but no bells were ringing in her head so I left saying that I thought she looked great and she was inspiring. It was quite funny but a little embarrassing at the same time.

Aimee decided to call it a night leaving Chloe, Amy and I to have a dance to some techno-dance-something-or-other which I couldn't really dance to, Chloe on the other hand is an awesome dancer - need to get some tips from there. We headed back for a night-cap as we'd still got some wine left in the room. On the way back I checked my precarious parking, Amy who hadn't been drinking for most of the night offered to move it in to a now vacant space, after trying to find reverse she did a beautiful job and parked it perfectly - who says women can't reverse park?

We got to the room and had some wine but most importantly FLAPJACKS! Mmmmm, yummy... they weren't just any flapjacks though, they were M&S Flapjacks.

Got up, had a shower, shave etc and got ready, minimal make-up despite the need for heavy foundation (grrh). It seemed everyone was heading over to the Little Chef for breakfast, collected Aimee and met everyone there. The staff didn't blink an eye and were really friendly, the best Little Chef in the world. We had a good breakfast, said good bye to everyone we were on our way, well almost, my car needed breakfast too.

The drive back was quite frustrating with traffic but totally worth it for the great night out with friends.

Leyla's Halloween Birthday Bash at BNO

First of all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Leyla!

As I was waiting in a ridiculously long cue for the petrol pumps, I got a text message from Rihanna asking where I was, she was about 30-45mins ahead of me so once done at the petrol station I drove like a bat out of hell to try and gain some ground. We finally met up at a services on the M1 where I followed her as she's got a sat nav which really came in to it's own when we got Milton Keynes with all the roundabouts. We went between two very memorable roundabouts a number of times as it decided that it didn't actually know the way to the hotel, I think it must be male as it didn't even ask for directions ;o). Finally we managed to get to the hotel where Nicky, Lucy (TINT) and Katie (Lucy's GF) were loitering outside.

After getting ready, I headed down to Leyla's room, Champagne was flowing a plenty (thank you) and everyone was in great spirits. I'd only done my corset up a little bit so headed back to my room where Lucy (Outskirts) was getting ready, she helped me into my corset and knotted me up, thanks hun - I'm not sure I could have done it by myself. We both went back to the party room, I was armed with my camera:

Beckie displaying her talents and looking sickeningly gorgeous

Nicky and Beckie produced a cake with candles and everything although it did set the fire alarms off:

Leyla calling reception to tell them it was "all ok, the hotel wasn't on fire"

The lady from reception payed us a visit but she didn't seem to be phased that she'd just entered a room of Tranny's, to be fair she was probably more concerned for her hotel. After some more drink and cake we went to Pink Punters, luckily Beckie was driving so we got a lift with her (thanks hun).


Lucy and I blowing Beckie's guns and the lovely Lisa (a picture with my wings in, yey!)

Beckie was on form as usual, running about the place shooting people with her semi-automatic, she had excellent blue contact lenses in which looked ace! Little Lucy and Katie (her girlfriend) both looked gorgeous in punk/goth outfits. My corset was felling pretty tight so I decided to skip the dancing as I was feeling a little odd just standing and I didn't really fancy fainting despite it being quite funny. Mental note to self, don't wear a corset if I'm a) going to be eating or b) going to be drinking. Especially when it's a size too small for me, should have gone with the 24" after all, think I was being a little ambitious with a 22", you live and learn eh!

This did however get me talking to Racheal Veddetta whom I had seen on Flickr, we had a great chat about loads of things, we really seemed to have very similar views on things which was great - A really beautiful person. I also met Sam, Racheal's fiancé who is not only gorgeous but has a wicked sense of humour.


Rachel Marie, Me and Leyla

Great to meet Rachel (Marie) as we'd chatted quite a bit online, it was her first time out and I think she did amazingly well.

There were too many of us to get in to one taxi but Racheal (Veddetta) offered us a lift back as Kalli was driving (Thank you Kalli, gorgeous and generous). All in all, another fab night with the special bonus of meeting some great people. I should really write these a bit quicker, it seems to take me ages to get the words down, how can you ever have time if you never make time?

Big Nite Out - 14th Sept

Ok, this has taken me way to long to get around to writing but here it is... Finally:

Terri, Lucy and I drove up from London to the Campanille Hotel which is situated across the road from the Pink Punters Club, once checked in I caught up with Chloe as we were sharing a room together. After a quick nap, shower and shave we got some food in the restaurant, I bumped in to Rihanna which was great as I'd not seen her since London when we went to the Way Out Club.

We went back to the room and we started getting ready, Chloe gave me some tips on getting a nice close shave (greatly needed, thanks) while I was hacking at my face. By the time I was finished Chloe pretty much had most things sorted out which left me rushing to catchup/get ready which wasn't a good idea as it just made me mess things up and take even longer. I'd pre-decided what I was going to wear which was black heels, white over the knee socks, tartan mini and a black blouse which when I'd got it all on decided I didn't feel comfortable in it so got changed. I finally decided on black leggings, a denim micro-mini and a black punky fish t-shirt with my faithful red heels.

I made my way down to the bar to hopefully meet everyone as they were thinking of heading over to the club before it started to charge. Luckily they were all still in the bar as was Chloe as I'd told her to head out without me while I resolved my dilemma, a drink was certainly needed.

After a drink in the bar we headed over to Pink Punters which obviously entailed negotiating the Tranny Assault course (see previous BNO entry) on the way. The club wasn't too busy, must have been because it was a Friday, there were quite a few familiar faces I recognised which was great and tried to talk to most people I knew. Everyone was fantastic and friendly and I was having a great time, I'm certainly becoming more comfortable out and about which is great.

Lucy (instigator), Rihanna and Terri decided to have a deep-throat competition with an empty bottle, I'm not sure who the winner was but it was certainly entertaining to watch especially some of the disapproving looks.

Another Lucy now... this time from the OutSkirts group from Birmingham, it was really great to meet her and have a good chat along with KyRa and Chloe, hopefully catch up soon with KyRa and Lucy as they've been out in London since and I want the hear all about it.

Later in the night we decided it'd be a great idea to go dance, the music on the middle floor had turned towards the R'n'B persuasion so we headed to the basement where it was more dance music. The best part about the basement is that they've got poles littered about that you can swing around to your heart's content, it would have been rude not to have a bit of a go, wouldn't it?

Swinging with the best of them

I certainly hadn't gotten any worse at dancing from the previous night but hadn't got much better either although dancing when your feet aren't killing you certainly makes it a darn sight easier and at times I almost had rhythm for about a beat.

Another great night had by all I think.

The BNO experience...

Wow... I had a great night! I'm obviously talking about the BNO (Big Night Out) at the Pink Punters last night.

From the start... I drove down to Milton Keynes and got there about mid day, Nicky and I were supposed to be going shopping but unfortunately she got held up with work and joined me a bit later by which time I'd been around most of the shops and got the few bits I had wanted to get. Nicky and I went for some food, afterwards I left Nicky to do her shopping as my parking ticket was running out and headed over to the hotel.

Arrived at the Campanile Hotel, as I pulled into the car park there was a t-girl standing outside in the shortest mini-dress and what must have been 5" stiletto boots, if I had any doubt I was at the right place before, it was now gone. I went to reception and booked in uneventfully and was issued my room number, I was a bit tired so I had a Power Nap in preparation for going out.

Nataskia (Natty) turned up and we both got ready, we decided to go down the the hotel bar semi-conservative so I wore my footless tights with my (ridiculously short) denim micro-mini and a red top with my red heels, Nicky was still getting ready at this point. There were quite a few girls down there which was nice, we had a chat over a drink and decided we'd get changed into something slightly more exciting for going over to the club in, I put on my LBD (little black dress), pink shrug with my pink peep-toe shoes. After checking on Nicky's progress Natty was wondering if it was possible to run in her altitude sickness inducing heels so decided to have a go much to my amusement as she sprinted off down the corridor, to describe it would do it no justice as it's something to witness, let's just say I could hardly breath from laughing so much.

After changing Nicky joined us for a drink in the hotel bar again, we chatted to a few other girls there too before heading over to the Pink Punters. This seemed to be some kind of tranny assault course which involved negotiating a ditch, a road, gravel, a hill and some super steep steps. Fortunately we all passed, but it was certainly a close call at times.

Entering the club was something I've not experienced before, even at the WOC (Way Out Club), I think it felt more intimidating than WOC, the middle floor (where we entered) seemed to be populated solely by lesbians and a distinct lack of trannies. We got some drinks and decided to head up stairs which certainly seemed to be the place to be, phew! Natty seemed to know everyone some how, we're not sure how as it was only her second time out too, the first being Sparkle (which I missed). We chatted to a few girls and everyone seemed lovely. Lena was lovely and made an effort to come over and talk to us, although I'm not sure I believe she was 84 as she claimed, hehe.

The toilets were on the ground floor which was two flights below us, it was pretty busy getting to and from the toilets but no-one really seemed to bat an eyelid (which is nice). On my return I got talking to Selena who was really pretty and super convincing, we got on really well finding we had seemingly an infinite amount of things in common. I once again needed the toilet and in true girly fashion went to the toilets together, now I know what girls get up to in the toilets when they go together ;o). During this time Nicky was guarding my handbag (thank you Nicky :oD ) so I felt I should not leave her much longer despite enjoying Selena's company. By this time everyone was getting pretty tired so we decided to end it on a high note, Selena walked with me to the door where we exchanged numbers and a good night peck on the cheek (as girls do).

Natty and I made it safely back to the hotel where Nicky had locked her self out, she called the reception people from our room and got a spare to get back in. We took off our make up and went to sleep, after chatting for a few mins about the night.

We all had a cooked breakfast together in the hotel restaurant and talked for a bit. Thanks Nicky and Natty, it was a great evening, good to see Nicky again and to meet Natty. We'll certainly have to do it again sometime.

Natty posted her experiences here on Tranny International which is worth a read if you're interested in going.
