Now that I've got the feel for it I take every opportunity to use the spare hand for a bit of skirt swishing a la Cha Cha Degregorio in Grease (OK it probably doesn't actually look like it but that's what I'm TRYING to do!!) :whistle:
Top tip for spagetti straps - make them as short as possible (but not digging in) and watch your posture, shoulders back boobs out etc.
Top tip for posture (in my humble experience) is the Wonderbra basque...again takes a bit of getting used to and I know it's not for everyone but it does give great support and means I couldn't look down at my feet (instead of at my partner of course) if I wanted to!! :blush:
Top tip for basque buying, buy one a chest (not cup) size smaller than you would normally buy a bra and wear it on the widest setting until it stretches, which it will.
Long live GLAM!! :waycool: :D
Andy, this is a GIRL POST!!!!! :flower:
some more please Chicklet............... :drool: :yum:

Hosiery and stay ups....what about them..... :devil:
Sorry to interrupt - please DO go on.... :devil: :devil: :devil:
Now THIS is a boy post :wink:
If Gordy's having any problems with his "hosiery and stay-ups" I'm willing to help him :devil:
p.s. It's 'hold-ups'.

Yup! agree with this one - even made my own, but it has a big poodle on it so I doubt I'd wear it to a normal social night :whistle:

All women should stand like this all the time (and sit like it too) - not only is it bad for your back to slouch, but it makes it much easier to spin if your back is straight because it means your centre of gravity is actually in the centre :grin:

Oh, I don't know, a well-timed glance downwards can often be quite effective I've found :really: :wink: :whistle:

What a beautiful dress that was! Very eye-catching (I was so jealous...!)
Nice to put a face to the name - no-one bothered to point you out to me
I'll deal with them later! :wink:
So, please, more tips - if I'm ever to look as good as you I'll need all the help I can get.... :hug:

Heh, me too :) I also recently have the problem that cute little dresses don't go well with shifting DJ equipment!! :(
Last night I went out wearing a favourite pair of dangly earrings, and had them in for about 10 mins until I remembered how it feels when you catch them in your headphones! OW! :what:
