LOL

And I think a pink diamante catsuit—with feathers—might very well frighten the horses.
I think my horse would collapse on the ground in laughter. And then the pony would try to eat the feathers. Very Happy

I suspect that given the subject matter of PEGASUS then any ensemble utilising feathers will be highly appropriate. Go for it! Wink

Yes! I support the black mini. I could never wear one myself, even when I was twenty, but by the pics that show up now and then, you can, so WHY NOT?

I don't know that I have ever actually used the "don't scare the horses" line, but I am certainly familiar with it and pleased with encountering it at any time.

A black mini offers wonderful scope for accessorizing, don't you think? Smile

I have to get my mind out of the barn. When I read this I thought you meant a black miniature horse and of course thought, "Cool! You could really dress one up fancy!" And it's not like I haven't been reading this thread or anything. !

But I already own a copy of PEGASUS, which I have had since publication day, and I seriously can't afford another!

Mind you, if you promised to sign the copy I already own, I might come in one of my best skating dresses....

There are yarn shops in London.

There are indeed. What is more, there is a very good yarn shop just by Waterloo Station (where trains from Darkest Hampshire tend to arrive and depart). What is more, you are signing on a Thursday, which is when they have their Knitting Night. I don't usually go, but it has been known - I know I went with Vikkik after your last London signing (you were not yet, at the time, enslaved to the Beneficial Addiction that is knitting. And we got lost - Waterloo & the whole South Bank generally is very confusing, and I got lost there 3 times in as many days!). So maybe, when you have finished signing, you will slip round there to stroke the yarn... I know there are other forum readers who usually go!
