So let us get into my personal life a little bit here. I was recently with a friend in Bristol, who shall remain nameless… you never know who could be watching. We decided that we would go out for a meal in the evening and a few drinks – but it was not a date! Just two people going out for a meal who may or may not find each other attractive. Anyway – as we get ready she goes through a number of changes; hair, makeup and clothing looking for that perfect “I want to look nice, but this isn’t quite a date” look.

 

She first emerged in a skirt and top combination. A great look, I thought, but she felt she might be a little cold. We moved on. She then emerges in the black dress. I know it’s a cliche but close your eyes and imagine the iconic Hepburn look. It was that. She was beautiful. I managed a choked “You look so nice” (I know) but she decided that was definitely too date like. She was probably right.
