I couldn’t shake off the film crew and it dawned on me that my entire date would be televised. I wandered from shop to shop in Blackheath trying on outfits. Oddly everything looked just great on me and I bought a ruby red nylon vintage negligee.

Later on, I escaped from the date and joined my old college friend RC in a horse-drawn carriage to visit the beach. I was wearing a pair of tartan pom-pom slippers and was thrilled with how comfortable they were.
