Just thinking, but are people just trying too hard now? To be different, to have different things?

I used to hate the dressing up bit anyway, with the "bride" wearing silly stuff and having to do forfeits - and drinking stupid stuff too

Went to a friends do in Weston super Mud years ago and left them halfway through the evening, it just got far too silly - and some of the women were older than me

Yes it's all very competitive, and the feeling of being on show as having fun has taken over from actually having fun. Facebook probably has a bit to answer for, on that score

Maybe the male nude model will wear a Posing Pouch? To say to Saundra that she needn't look at it if she's embarrassed. Just draw from memory

trouble is i cant remember things these days
im good with faces tho

thanks everyone - I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this whole thing is rather OTT.

I actually find it quite a strange activity for a hen weekend. Surely life drawing is a serious hobby - does a professional life model really want a group of giggling women standing around drawing him for a fun activity. I find it quite demeaning for the model tbh!

apparently the model knows it's for a hen weekend - who knows. But I agree - I think it's totally demeaning as well

Could you perhaps accidentally miss that train and catch the next one - so you miss the drawing but are there for the rest of it.

Trust me Debih - I am seriously tempted and just did.....

Monty had an anaesthetic yesterday and I needed to bring him back on Saturday; but given the hen weekend I made the appointment for tonight which mean leaving work early and rushing like a loony. So I've just called the vet, got a 09h10 appointment tomorrow morning and cancelled tonights. I do feel loads better now

[tonicha]

Well done you

[Diflower]

Result
And easier for you to have a genuine reason too
Hope you enjoy the rest of it though, Brighton's lovely after all

[saundra]

ake it early afternoon in brighton

[Kaz]

Oh nice one!!!

Saundra I love you that made me laugh out loud

Ria you are a good friend, nothing on earth would drag me to that

Hope Monty gets on ok tomorrow xx

Great thinking Ria! Really glad that you've got that sorted - I'd have been with Shell, running in the opposite direction!
