So, time for a very long update.
Friday: So Friday night I had a drag night at the Uni tavern, and man was it so fun!
I loved my outfit, my first time in drag and man did I feel hot. Purple pants, purple pin strip shirt, black vest, purple blazer, black tie and fedora hat, as well as my hair done and a fake beard done with mascara :P I kept getting asked if I was performing (which I wasn't) but some day I will.
Pre-drink at the queer room with some of the most awesome people there that night, then heading off down to the TAV.
Slow when we got there, just getting some drinks and saying hi to everyone, then the performances started and they were magic man.
Miss Amanda did an excellent job at MCing ad an awesome performance of Sweet Dreams, a really talented drag queen.
The night was fucking awesome and the performances were excellent! The drag kings were very smexy (nom). I loved it even more because I haven't seen too many drag performances, sow as really exciting. And the company was great, Michael dancing on stage after all the performances, and dragging(no pun intended) us on stage to dance with him, very fun.
And a slumber party at Michaels' afterwards! Saving me an hours walk back home because the buses had stopped running.
Staying up watching blade on full volume on surround sound, sleeping in between Michael and Rory :P
Saturday: So, woke up Saturday morning and just chilled around in bed still for a bit, before heading off home for another busy day. Checked the wrong bus time so ended up waiting at the stop for about half an hour extra. Ah well.
Got home eventually and showered and everything to amke myself presentable for Rhys' dinner party later, and my tattoo at 3PM :D
Mum showed up at about quarter to 3, and took me down to Deep n Dark tattoo parlour. Showed them my design, told them where I wanted it and after flipping though some tattoo magazines in the mean time, then was called through.
After double checking placement and design, Andy got the stencil on and prepped up the space, and by this time I was feeling nervous. Being my first tattoo I didn't know what to expect about how it would feel and everything, and was preparing to flinch from a sharp sting. Turns out, it barely hurt at all, it was much more uncomfortable holding my leg at an odd angle for the whole time. I fucking loved watching him inking up the outline, and colouring it in, made me all smiley and giddy. My mum looked so sour in there the whole time, it was actually pretty funny.
Because it was a small tattoo, it only took about 45 minutes to do, so I was out of there by about 4, only cost $100 too, so that was excellent.
Ran back home to grab some anti-bacterial soap I'd used for my navel piercing, and change into a skirt to let the tattoo breath, since I wasn't going to be home that night, and went to the shops to buy some nappy rash cream to apply to the tattoo for aftercare, then headed to Rhys for his dinner party, where I showed off the tattoo a lot, of course (after removing the bandage about an hour after he recommended).
Dinner was delicious, potato and leak soup for starters,beef wellington for mains and apple (not so) crumble for dessert.
And as all mature adults do after a dinner party, we watched the Holy Grail and the Spongebob Movie. And Vincent, Rhys and I ended up staying up until 2:30am watching Spongebob on Foxtel.
So woke up and again, just lazed around in bed (or couch) for a while, before getting up and actually doing anything.
Tattoo:
Got home about 11:30, and just lazed around home, recovering from the past two days and went on msn, just to be invited out again to a local bands gig (We Can Breath In Space)
The was a good night, just hanging around listening to music and seeing and hanging out with friends, then having a girls night at Laurens afterwards, was pretty awesome.
Got home at about 12 today, and just crashed, slept from about 1 till about 6:30, my nights just caught up to me and I needed a goos rest to recover fully. So home now, and finally caught up with things (blog, sleep, etc) and very nice and chilled and had an epic long-weekend.
