I work with 5 women ages 28 - 42.
One is my partner (business!) and the others are the real workers!
Anyway - to the point.
I am not "out" at work tho' there has been some comments over my hair ("its in great condition") and some teasing comments ("You should have been a girl") ...
We went for a drink/meal tonight to celebrate my partners birthday.
They have been planning the Christmas Party (subsidised at £50 a head by "the company") and wanted to do something different from the "usual"
So .. they told me tonight after drinks and eats, that they are planning a "Pamper Party" with copious wine and a takeaway and sleepover. Then showed me thisweb site.

The plan is a manicure, pedicure and a makeover ..... and then the question to me ..
"What do you think? Do you fancy it?"
I was being looked at by all of them - no giggling but all of them happy (or was it the wine)
I said "What makes you think I would enjoy that?" .. OMG what a stupid question.
Carlie replied "We have been wanting to say something for ages. You didnt see me, but I saw you out one night about 6 months ago. You had your hair down and you were wearing a silver grey top and a denim skirt and boots. I knew it was you especially when you swept your hair back. I wanted to tell you before, but didnt want to embarass you.
One of the others said, "We hope you dont mind - but we just wanted to say we love you and that's it really"
I didnt know what to say. I got hugs from all of them. Then one said "you can let your hair down now" ...
We had another drink and they asked permission to ask me questions (I said OK) and then there was a million questions (well a lot anyway).
I have just got home and logged on to share.
