Covent Garden Corset Challenge

i had the day off work today. i had hoped to be able to meet up with my Dad, it's been over a year since i last saw him, however, in the end that did not prove possible. Instead, with Owner's permission (She still had to work), i decided that i would venture into Central London and have a smooch around Covent Garden and Soho. It has been an equally long time since either of us last visited.

To mix things up a little, Owner announced that She wanted me to complete a challenge whilst i was out. The challenge was that i was to wear a corset, again it has been a while since i last wore one, and to photograph myself wearing it in Covent Garden. The idea sounded fun, it has been a while since i last 'showed off' at a London landmark.

Despite it being late May the weather today was distinctly unseasonal, a little chilly, windy and with the odd rain shower. However, it meant that i could simply wear my light quilt jacket on top on my corset which would make for an easier 'reveal' once i arrived, i could simply undo my coat!

The main market square was pretty empty, there were people around and even a street performer. However, compared to a normal day for this part of Central London it was very quiet, a combination of lingering Covid restrictions and an absence of tourists (though i did spot one or two). 

Anyway, so how did i get on? The picture below is, i think, the prettiest of the ones i took. It started to rain and so i put up my umbrella, which matched my corset. i didn't take my coat fully off, i felt oddly nervous (unlike me these days). Maybe it was the fact that it has been a very long time since i last did a London landmark challenge. Instead, i just 'flashed' a few times - though i did at least reveal my shoulders. i guess i am maybe just out of practice. Anyway, here i am in London's Covent Garden

Hello Covent Garden, it's been a while!

And this was me 'practising' on the train into town

And finally, had i actually taken my coast fully off, this is what you would have seen

Maybe next time, and perhaps even with a skirt :)

Halloween Weekend Part 3 - Sunday

What a wonderful concluding part to our Halloween weekend today has been. In the morning we both set off into town for me to complete my red basque challenge in St James Park. Some of the colours of the leaves on the trees at this time of year are amazing and it was lovely to wander around. i also completed the challenge;

and Owner shot a little video of me wearing my basque in the park too;

My challenge having been completed to Owners satisfaction we walked over to Covent Garden to have some lunch and a nosey around some of the shops before heading back home.

When we got back i prepared our Halloween meal (more about that later) and then got changed to perform my promised little show for Owner. i performed to Marilyn Manson's excellent cover version of Sweet Dream Are Made Of This which is one of my favourite Marilyn covers. Ohh, and i honestly do appear once the intro with the 'mysterious and spooky' pumpkin has finished!

Show over it was time to serve Owner my Halloween dinner. iid baked sodabread and then hollowed-out and baked a pumpkin and used the baked pumpkin as a container for a cheese fondue. Not your typical Halloween meal i grant but it tasted delicious

Meal completed it was tme to wash up and tidy away and then clean and polish Owners boots, and give Her Her regular Sunday pedicure and then update this blog. It has been a fantastic Halloween weekend and i am so grateful to Owner for having devised such a wonderful one.
