The Princess Seraphina Tea Room for distinguised ladies

[Pheobsky]

I also have unmentionable stories to terrify any wandering male, both the usual variety and a few more, um, unusual ones.

Please tell away; you have piqued my curiosity!

Terrification is good 

As a collective gender, we're listening.

[helios]

Ah, would someone pass the milk?

...What?

[Sir Nikolas Vendigroth]

Oh nothing, nothing.

Chiffon doesn't suit your complexion, is all.

Don't worry, Helios, we won't judge you. Just be whomever you want to be 

[clockwork creation]

sugar anyone ?

[Sir Nikolas Vendigroth]

Hate the stuff. I can't stand sweet things. Euch.

Also tea. Can't drink tea. Vile brown fluid. I find it bitter, with neither great body nor considerable substabce.

[helios]

No, thank you. Goes straight to my waist.

[Countessa Lenora]

Excuse me Dears, but who let the gentlemen in?!

[helios]

I brought my mother in, and then helped myself to the tea.

[Sir Nikolas Vendigroth]

Excuse me Dears, but who let the gentlemen in?!

We've always permitted members of the fairer sex to join our societies. The invitation has always been there.

Yours, pleased that you referred to him as a gentleman;

Nick

Well, here goes.

One involves me learning just how well blood can dye sun-faded denim.
One involves a dog, a bathroom trash-can, and a very cute boy.
One involves a snake, a bra, and a bicycle.
And the best always involve security guards. (Do you know exactly what you can smuggle under an appropriately-placed bag of feminine utility supplies? No one, not even the women guards, will look past it.)

[Mrs. Sullivan]

Good afternoon Ladies!  Some of you may already be acquainted with me.  My name is Mrs. Sullivan, pleased to make your acquaintance.

I say, is that fellow in the dress taking orders?  I should like a cup of apricot tea and a lemon biscuit, there's a good chap.

Now, were we talking about unmentionables?  I just ordered the most charming pair of beige silk knickers with French lace trim...

[helios]

I would like some lemon biscuits also. And if you speak about "unmentionables", they are no longer "unmentionables".

[darkshines]

Gentlemen are permitted as long as they are frocked, beautiful and also discussing things as we are, aha. No male trolls allowed.

My latest pair of steam unmentionables was a pair of vintage cream cotton, knee length bloomers from ebay. They fit like a glove....for the buttocks.....

Oh well then, as long as they are frocked et cetera that's alright then.

Sadly, my unmentionables are still unmentionable as I have yet to find a reputable establishment to purchase them or have someone make them for me.

Do you have five legs then ?

Aha aha ahaha
What a wag I am

Call yourself British !!!

[Violet Rose]

and yes sister dear, i think that shall do nicely...

Hear hear m'dear

[darkshines]

So when one is in her best fin de siecle victorian dress, where does one put ones necessaries? Things like an ipod, or a phone? putting it in ones bag seems inconvieniant, and one simply cannot wear a blazer all the time now the summer is here.....

[Violet Rose]

Sadly being a "lady" seems to involve all sorts of inconveniences - a lack of pockets and high heels are only the start of it.

A reticule is the only answer I fear

[Mrs. Sullivan]

A reticule is a fine choice, especially when attired in formal wear.  For more casual everyday dress or excursions to the country, I find that a small basket with a handle (covered with a dainty cloth or lidded) will hold all necessaries.

Of course, a gentleman companion may be pressed into service to carry heavy or bulky items, and lacking a gentleman companion the services of a small minion may be obtained for a shilling or two.

While adventuring in the gold fields of California I employed a pack mule for such purposes, a trustworthy animal and far more agreeable than many gentlemen or small minions.  Unfortunately, they are rather frowned upon in the tea parlours of Society!

[helios]

*Eats biscuits*

[Countessa Lenora]

I am lucky to have a fine gentleman and two minions who are well versed in carrying my things.  I don't leave home without them.

[Lady Lavinea Dreadful]

hmm belive it or not i put alot of things in my hat no im not kidding. my Mp3 player is very small so i clip is to the inside of my avatarix hate. things such as my coin purse, however, do rest in my bag. i keep a large bag full of all sorts of things...crochet,sewing stuff(never know when you'll have a blow out) art supplies etc..etc..
