Following on from my earlier exploits when I didn't wear pants under my skirt, my next memorable event took place in July 1982. If you read my previous accounts, you will see that any inhibitions I once had about revealing my body had long disappeared. My boyfriend had stopped doubting my recollections and enjoyed everything I told him.
But, back to July 1982.
The business I worked at decided to support our local annual carnival by entering a tableau on the back of a lorry. About 20 of us volunteered and in May of that year we met at lunchtime to plan our entry. The theme was "Favourite Countries" and after much debate we agreed on Hawaii. We would make palm trees, parasols and a beach bar with a few sunbeds scattered on the lorry. The guys were to wear gaudy bright shorts and shirts and the girls in bikini's and grass skirts.
Over the next few weeks, we assembled the props during our breaks and sometimes we stayed a bit late to carry out the work. The lads had arranged their attire and one girl had made some simple grass skirts from coloured strips of polyethylene and crepe paper attached to an elasticated waistband. Everything was ready for the day when all we would need to do was decorate our float.
On the day of the carnival, brilliant sunshine greeted us as we assembled at our workplace fairly early in the morning. I knew we had a lot of work to do, so decided to wear some shorts and a T shirt over my bra and pants. I took my bikini and grass skirt in a bag to change into later. I also took some spray tan to give my skin some colour.
By lunchtime, we had everything ready and had about four hours to wait until we needed to proceed to the parade assembly point for judging. We sat around chatting all afternoon and I noticed that the lads were trying to chat up us girls and the comments were getting lewd. There were 14 guys and 8 girls. Time slowly passed until we needed to get changed and apply our instant tan. We drifted inside the building to the staff canteen area to change and the guys just hovered outside the building.
Sarah, who had made the grass skirts announced she had brought some tan coloured tights if any of us wanted to wear them and as my legs were quite white, I accepted. I glanced around and saw there were only 5 of us girls in the room. I had no idea where the other 3 had gone. Nevertheless, I began to get ready.
I eased out of my shirt and shorts and, in just bra and panties, I opened my bag and removed my costume. No one in the room was taking any notice of anyone else so I whipped off my bra and put my bikini top on. Next, I eased into my grass skirt. I realised the strips of paper and plastic spread whenever I moved and anyone looking would easily see my white panties. Consequently, I made up my mind to wear my black bikini bottom.
I put my hands up the skirt and pulled my knickers down and stepped out of them. I then put the tights on and then my black bikini bottom on top of my tights. Checking all was well, I moved back outside to the lorry where the guys were helping the girls up and onto the back.
We were told to sit for the short drive to the assembly point for safety reasons. I sat close to Paul and he commented on my lovely legs. He also mentioned he had seen me getting changed through the window and thought I had a sexy body. I wondered if he knew I had my bikini on top of the tights and had he seen my little boobs.
I changed my position and drew my legs up and Paul could now see up my skirt to my bikini. I allowed my legs to open slightly to ensure he had a good view.
