So in a few weeks time Helen will be out and about for a full 7 days. Watch out world!
So the prep has started. Bottled tan for the legs, upper arms and chest. I don't want snowy white cleavage. Thinning of eyebrows, reduction of arm hair. All slowly reducing so as to not be a sudden change. Legs and chest will of course be shaved, not that I'm that hirsute anyway.
Then there's what to take. There's the makeup and all the removers, forms and adhesives, hip and bum padding, corsets, wigs not to mention the ancillary items such a false nails, bras and knickers, tights/holdups, scarves, jewelry and femme deodorants.
The big dilemma is what to take clothing wise. While I would love to take my entire wardrobe that's not an option. If flying I'd certainly encounter excess baggage charges if I did that. It's about matching things together so as to be able to permutate the most workable combinations from the least amount of clothes. However there are some things that just have to be taken. Dresses, skirts, blouses and tops that are our go to faves. Oh nearly forgot the 2 coats and a jacket
So, apart from bragging about having 7 days Helen time!!! my question is, what are your go to wardrobe items? How little do you think you could get away with. For me in skirts, a black below the knee pencil, a black and white stripped above the knee pencil, black A line lined and a red godet flower pattern. Dresses, my LBD, a black and white jacquard, a stripped bodycon crew neck and a caped sleeve sweetheart necked little number. Then there's a collection of about 10 tops and blouses. All rounded off with 10 'ish pairs of boots and shoes.
In reality it will be nearer 30 items of skirts/dresses/tops. So is this just one more thing GG's face. The task of packing sufficient, and the "just in case" without having a suitcase that needs a forklift to move it?
This dressing is such hard work but don't you just love it!!
