| Out on a Monday? Yes! You see the Philbeach Hotel in London's Earls Court is a popular gathering point for t*girls and admirers on a Monday night and I was off out for a drink and a chinnywag with my (camera shy) friend Dannielle Jones and as we had both been busy at the weekend there seemed no better place to rendez-vous than at the Philly (as it is affectionately called). However, I chose to wear a skirt that was just a little bit on the short side... |

   What do you mean you don't think the skirt is too short? Look at the picture on the left and if you are observant you will see exactly what the problem was...Anyway, I'm no novice at wearing short skirts so without further ado I hit the road and rolled into the Philbeach at around 10p.m. The bar was rather crowded and a bit stuffy and it was a reasonably warm summer night so Dannielle and I decided to sit outside.  Here's a picture of me taken in the gardens at the Philbeach (the 'Philbeach Gardens' if you like - which is only funny if you know the place...) and nothing looks particularly untoward, my skirt is behaving itself nicely. Until, that is, I sat down. |
 And now you see what happened when I sat down. I sat on that bench for most of the night and no-one said a word to me. I did get rather admiring stares from a shortish bloke that looked a bit like George Bush and from one or two other unspecified admirers who hung in the air like flies around a piece of rotting meat. Why didn't they just say something? If they had have been nice I might have let them correct my hemline for me (if they were any good at stitching).If I make it sound like the Phibeach is some kind of seedy pick-up joint then I'd be underselling its virtues. It's a relaxed kind of place where a lot of girls go to meet their friends and have a natter, but it dies have its nefarious undercurrents too. My advice, for what it's worth - if you're going for the first time - go with someone you know. Oh, and make sure you pull the hem of your skirt down before you take a seat on a low bench...! |
