Hell on earth


It was earlier this year, I was following Jane around as she got ideas for wedding dresses. This place was like every imagined wedding shop in every bridal fantasy I've ever had, and it felt like the reaction it was provoking deep inside was writ large on a sign above my head for all the assistants to read. I felt really guilty and uncomfortable in a way I've not experienced since my mid teens.

I actually got ticked off by an assistant for taking the pic, which just made me even more uneasy.

Gillian  Be Strong 
Jane  I went around agog, the adult me thinking "Over the top wanna be footballers wives expensive tat" my inner six year old was saying "Want One Now"

They were beautifully made but proved the point that there is such a thing as too much. 
Pandora Caitiff  Am a bad tranny for wanting "Over the top wannabe footballers wives tacky tat"? (to misquote Jane...)

Oh, and

*witty analogy about Catholicism* 
Lynn Jones  All those shop dummies. Like something out of Stepford Trannies? Eeek!

It's kinda odd buying your GF/wifey clothes that would normally fall into the tranny fantasy bracket. Wedding dresses, killer heels, etc. Don't give in to the dark side, Becky. 
Billy  I'm terrified that they're going to come alive and slaughter me and that's just from a photo. I can't imagine the horror of actually being there. 
steph_angel  Strangely, Tracy's wedding dress has hung by the side of our bed for just over a year now... Completely untouched, it just doesn't seem right.

You can of course remind me of this comment in a few years time when I'm swanning around Sparkle in it ;-) 
Tiffany  The one in the middle, framed by the two in the foreground?

I want it.

Where is this shop, and does it have an American counterpart? 
Becky  It's in Norwich, I can't remember the name although Jane might! 
Tidy  Would I be breaking some tranny law to say I don't really like wedding dresses? If I wanted to look like a meringue I'd, um, go to the bakers or something. 
Becky  Yes, there's something wrong with you Tidy. ;-)
