Blame Abba Chapter 2

We did get our picture taken, I went easy on the gins and we still had a great time. In the local paper on the Tuesday the 'ABBA' girls featured, with Eric, somehow the names came out as Jacqui and Donna. I don't know how but, in that photo, you couldn't tell which was the guy!

And for the next three weeks we did it again. We had our collecting boxes on the bar and got loads of donations. We were delighted when our total went well into FOUR figures at the end of the third week. Word had indeed spread, the bar was full on Fridays and Saturdays as lots of people flocked from some distance to see the ABBA girl and her transvestite 'sister'. On the last Saturday, things were different. Jacqui got me out of the house and into the car early, just after 6. I protested, I had been watching the football highlights on the news. And she had two hold-alls, not just one. In Room 4 she revealed why.

"I know you have been enjoying yourself, but I thought we could do even better. You did your own makeup last week, and it was OK but I thought it looked a bit feeble last night. So we are going to get it done by an expert tonight. And I want to make her job worthwhile. She is going to turn you into a real-looking woman. You deserve it. So, strip!"

When Jacqui was in that determined mood I wasn't going to contradict here. I did wonder exactly what she had in mind but I did do just that, I stripped down to my shorts. We went into the little en-suite bathroom and I stood in the bath. Jacqui got a spray out of her hold-all and fired it at me, covering my legs and arms with a white foam.

"Now, stand there, little brother - or should I say sister - for five minutes while I sort your clothes."

She left me there and closed the door behind her. I realised what was going on, this was a depilatory spray to remove the hairs from my arms and legs. It began to sting a little.

"Right now," she called. "Turn on the shower head and do a thorough rinse, it should have worked by now. Then have the best shave you have ever had, there is a new razor by the basin."
