Chapter 7 (Bodystockings)
We talked and talked and we ate and we laughed and we relaxed together like old friends. I felt renewed and invigorated. Then, Kirsten told me a little more of what to expect at the New Product Launch the following day.
"You must expect to get away late," she warned.
"How late?"
"Well, let's see. The actual show will start at 7:00, to give busy clients time to arrive. Some will come straight from work and can use the Private Rooms to shower, change and freshen up. The formal part of the show will last about an hour with a break. So, expect to leave around 11:00."
"What? How am I supposed to spend the last 3 hours?"
"Oh, there's loads of time to, well, network. 'Julia' might pick up some contacts for her recruitment agency. There will be food and drink. And dancing." Kirsten then looked at me seriously. "And then the individual showings afterwards, in the Private Rooms. You can expect to have a really good time so, er, save yourself for tomorrow, right?"
My mind was racing, full of expectation.
"Whichever Dem invites a client acts as her hostess for the evening. Who actually invited you?" quizzed Kirsten.
"Stevie, at Knightsbridge."
"Good. She's great fun to be with at these events. Did you meet any other Dems who you know are going to be there?"
"Yeah, I know that at least two Dems from Manchester will be there: Mandy and Vikki. And Maria will be coming down from Edinburgh."
I paused and winked at Kirsten. "Maria and I got to know each other very well." She knew exactly what I meant. "You actually came, right there in the changing rooms? On your first visit?"
"Well, yes. Why? What have I done?"
"Well, that's quite unusual, but not totally unheard of."
"But it all felt so, so right. Anyway, Maria led me on, and we kept our knickers on all the time."
"Maria is a very, very sexy lady and you've experienced something that I have lain awake at night and only dreamt of doing. You lucky girl, she must really like you. She wouldn't have done that just to make a sale, not the first time."
Then Kirsten changed her tone.
"This isn't our first time; you never finished showing me the new clothes you bought last week and you've got heaps more now. I'll pour another glass of wine whilst you go and change."
At first I was reluctant, but it would be fun showing off in front of Kirsten again – she's such a good audience. I looked through my wardrobe and discounted those items amongst my newly acquired underwear that I knew for certain I had already shown to Kirsten. That left a number of things she hadn't seen.
I ran through my delectable new collection. I couldn't wear my lemon yellow set, or that black backless bodysuit, or the gold basque & panties, nor my dramatic front-fastening half-cup white bra, as they all needed to be laundered first. Pity.
She'll see me in my new strappy blue bikini at the health club one day sooner or later. I couldn't wait to show her my red 'hen-party' bra & thong that I'd bought in Knightsbridge last week, but I wanted to save that for another time. Oh, then there was my silver corset that Rachel gave me – Kirsten would enjoy lacing me up tight in that sometime.
I was planning to wear the cerise bra & briefs to the show the next day, or maybe the navy basque. Kirsten hadn't seen either of them yet; I could try on both of them and ask her opinion. Or maybe the strappy black set that Stevie originally modelled for me, but that was still so beautifully wrapped up.
"Kirsten, I'd value your opinion on what I should wear to the launch party tomorrow. What do you think about this?" I paraded into the room in just my cerise bra and panties.
"Oh, Julia, they look just perfect. Let me get a closer look. Who sold them to you?"
"It was Fiona in Oxford Street. She's very good, isn't she."
"Fiona is excellent. She's a bit older than the average Dem but the mature clients identify with her. Don't underestimate Fiona. She'll be at the show tomorrow, you'll see."
"What do you think then? Is it suitable?"
"Depends what you're going to wear on top."
"Hmm, I hadn't got that far yet. I've got a couple of old cocktail dresses, but they'll be in those boxes from Paris. They'll be a bit crumpled."
"Oh, just buy something, on the firm. You'd look devastating in a strapless LBD. Get one tomorrow, sweetie. Do it. For me. Will you?"
"OK, but I can't wear this bra with a strapless dress. However …"
Back in my bedroom I stripped off and squeezed myself into my navy-blue basque and matching panties.
"Well?"
"Julia, that's just wonderful. Fiona again?"
