"Maybe We Could Strip Each Other ?"

"What on earth are you doing ?" asked Carol. Debbi was standing on tiptoe and trying to look back over her shoulder into the full length mirror that had been installed in their makeshift dressing room. All that she was wearing was the sparkly red and black G-string. "I'm just trying to get some idea of what the punters are going to see" answered Debbi. "I'd rather not know" countered Carol, who was already dressed in the full length evening gown that was to be their initial costume.

"Don't be daft, you look great" said Debbi. "I don't know how I'm going to get this off smoothly though" Carol continued, gesturing at the gown. "These Velcro fastenings were supposed to rip off easy but the girls have put them at the back.

Debbi considered the problem as Carol turned around. She had yet to put on her own gown. "Maybe we strip each other ?" she suggested. "Huh ?" said Carol. Debbi giggled. "Well, we haven't got any particular dance routine have we ? You can strip off my gown and then pretend to run away and I'll chase you and eventually strip you too !"

"I'd rather you didn't catch me at all" admitted Carol. "What ? After all the trouble I went to with your makeover ? Let's rehearse now !" Debbi closed in on Carol who tried to run but there was no space in the cramped dressing room and Debbi was soon tearing at the Velcro strips. The gown was down to Carol's hips and her ample bosom was on display when Charlotte entered the room. "Having fun you two ?" Carol's daughter laughed. Debbi explained the problem and her solution. "Should be a hoot" agreed Charlotte. "We go in ten minutes."

"Have we got a good crowd ?" wondered Debbi, glancing at the poster on the wall.

'The ( almost ) Full Monty; featuring our very own J-Ra, Sean and Ravi with special guest appearance from famous local Calendar Girls Debbi and Carol !'

"Full house" confirmed Charlotte. "We thought it'd be mostly women to see the boys but there's a fair percentage of blokes too. Dad's been spreading the word and that guy from the garage !"
