Getting down with the girls!

Towards the end of 1998 I attended a club for TV's in Southampton. For the first time I was in the company of other girls like myself, and initially it felt very strange. I met some very nice girls but many of them were all too eager to give me advice.

By this time I had already begun going out, and couldn't help feeling that there was something a little too insular about the club. For many of the girls this is the only opportunity they have to dress, and others were a little dismissive of my attempts to keep up with fashion, especially when I wore these bootcut trousers.

What was really lacking for me was the sense of excitement I expect when I go out. I suppose part of the attraction for me is to confront people with what I am.
