STRIPTEASE
STRIPTEASE ‘Are you coming tonight?’ my new-found friend and work colleague, Andrea, had insisted I attend the local Ball with her. ‘I won’t know anyone.’ ‘So! Best way to meet someone!’ as she grabbed my hand and led me into my bedroom. ‘Which dress are you going to wear?’ I hesitantly pulled the new evening gown my mother had created for me, out of the cupboard.
