We always end the year with a poker christmas spectacular, only open to home game regulars, terribly glamorous and elegant (black tie of course) champagne, good food and the obligatory secret Santa. Now, whilst I was searching for inspiration for my secret santa I came across this......
and before I knew what was happening I was clicking on 'add to basket' and typing in my credit card details. I don't think at this stage I had any intention of wearing it (primarily because I am not a size 8 blond with enhanced features) but it duly plopped t
hrough the letter box the very next day.
Fast forward to Saturday night - the table is dressed (thanks Janie) the champagne is chilling the chips are on the table and it's time to get dressed. As all the other poker girles will be wearing very elegant evening dresses I decide to wear the very skimpy dress over a pair of back trousers. It looks hideous! I team it with my jeans, better, but not very black tie! Then the panto principal boy in me wonders about opaque tights and very high boots and thus... the poker vixen was born.
I LOVED wearing it! It felt silly, sexy and festive. It was a real talking point (No, I didn't get it from pokerslapper.com) and it made up for some pretty lousy play! I had a ball, loved every minute and to top it off my wonderful calculating husband won the event and the christmas trophy.
Now, when can I wear it again??????
