A day trip with Satine

Last Friday I finally had an excuse to meet up with Satine again and it was a real treat, despite the early start. I picked her up from Northampton which gave us lots of time to catch up and talk about the finishing touches to our web site on our way down to Sussex. We were heading to Claire and Paul to shoot for their new transvestite themed site.

As someone who grew up with a massive crush on Eddie Izzard this was right up my street and the fact that we were greeted by a table set for afternoon tea, including cake and biscuits sealed the deal.

In the first scene my 'boyfriend' came clean about being a transvestite and transformed into his alter ego 'Lisa' with our help. This was not only a real giggle - we go to gossip and drink tea and call it work, but the girl who did the makeup was amazing and very patient as we all insisted on watching her work in search of tips.

Next we did a gonzo scene where we painted a males toes and talked about bringing him out. I'm not sure if it convinced any men to crack open the tights but it defiantly brought out my OCD side, each toe had to have a different colour and both feet had to match SATINE!!!


Finally we caught Satines twin brother eyeing up her wedding dress (I know I was shocked she had one to) so forced him into it, shoes, garters, bra and all.

'Lisa' was kind enough to lend Satine her hair so if you have been sat at home wondering what she would look like with red hair you are in luck. 

This is where our easy day ended. Despite finishing early thanks to the M25 (seriously Londony commuters how have you not gone mad) it took us nearly 4 hours to get back to Satines. By the time we gave up and went to a services to eat we were in danger of eating each other. We settled on a Burger king instead which defiantly helped to pick our spirits back up (lets hear it for sugar) although I'm sure the burgers have got smaller.


I dropped Satine off then headed on to find a poorly Bert in need of cuddles and food.
