My one friend Lisa who is my roommate and two others, Barbara and Jane, who where actually more Lisa’s friends than mine went to the Caribbean over winter break. Lisa and I were only invited when two of Barbara's friends bailed out at the last minute. I don't think Barbara actually wanted me to come since she seems to view me as a rival. I don't know why sin...

It was the late seventies and the first time my first wife and I had a night out together since the birth of our daughter a few months previously. I got my mother to watch our daughter for the night at her apartment and made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants. At Alice's insistence, I had specifically requested reservations in a room that was an...
Jessica sighed as she considered what to wear for her husband; she was torn between something practical and sensible or something sexy. Wearing something sexy would trigger the attention of both her husband and looks from other men. Something sensible would bring certain tutting and disapproval from her husband. She knew that she would crave the attention of...
Beth was still staring at the Calendar with her mouth open. Say something her brain went. Well, she thought, I can look stupid after being made a fool or I can try to salvage something here. Taking a deep breath, she said, sorry about launching the dress code on April 1, but having a dress code is a good idea. Employee productivity has dropped and motivati...
Many years ago my Mum worked as a bridal consultant for a well-known wedding dress shop. One day to get off College so I could bunk rugby I complained of having a stomachache. The situation was ridiculous. I'm a young man of 19 who had volunteered to continue with my education and study accounts so why the authorities insisted I had to do Rugby as part of th...
I don't know if it was the summer heat or the fact that Mike had been away all week that made me dress the way I did that day. It was a Thursday morning later in august, and my husband Mike had been away on a work conference all week, and wasn't due back till late Friday night. I had decided earlier in the week to buy something nice to wear for when Mike ret...
I'd come up with a plan of action, and I called Rachel and said I had something I wanted us to do. She arrived, early, wearing her bib overall shorts and a striped T-shirt. I took a look at her outfit and grabbed her hand. "Come on, we're going shopping." We walked to the store we'd had a bunch of fun at recently, and headed in. "What panties are you wea...
I had never noticed the shop before, and I don't know why I went in. It was called 'Heart's Desire'. As I entered, the woman behind the counter said "The dresses are over there." I was a man in ordinary clothes. Why would she say that? "Just browsing," I said, and looked everywhere but at the rack of dresses. There was really nothing I wanted. There were...
Michelle hated parties. Hard work to organise, a mess to clear up and in-between, boring conversation with boring people whom she hardly knew. Everyone knew that Michelle hated parties. There was a song that went 'Everyone loves to party'; well count her out of that. Bad music blaring out, guests that would never otherwise pop around for a coffee, crappy...
