Introducing Constance

Constance Craving is my altar ego, because she likes to be worshipped and has LOTS of ego. ;-)
Constance is "Wellington's only anatomically correct drag queen". 

I took Constance out on the town last night for the first time ever (she only came into being recently). We went to a burlesque show where she behaved badly - big mouth, smutty humour - I had to take her twice, the second time to apologise!

 After we got home. As we walked home together, she insisted on singing very loudly all the way down Cuba St. Still at least that way people knew she is actually a woman under those eyelashes!

EYELASHES!! False eyelashes what a nightmare. Twenty minutes to get them on straight. Erk.
Constance borrowed my Anne Harvey 1970's pants suit, and has eyes on a piece of fabric gifted recently in MANY COLOURS to make a duster to wear over it. The black PVC number looks better laced up over a corset, and we were not in the mood for that malarkey yesterday.
And not shown are her FY boots. What are FY boots, you ask? Well if you have heard of FM boots, you can probably work it out ;-) They are pointy and strappy and generally look pretty dangerous. I wouldn't want to get on her wrong side when she has those on!

Can I just say it is fun dressing up as someone else who is really oneself magnified? Really in this case it is about performing, not just going around dressed up, but it is fun to go off to a show in character so the right people get to know one is available for gigs. :)
Right, after a day of making quilt tops for charity, I am off for a drive with the Mister and a lazy night in front of the telly. Or, more likely, making replacement bunting for the stuff stolen from the front of the shop on Friday night. Lesigh. I hope someone has used them brighten their flat and not just chucked them out. If Conny catches them, I pity them!
