It was with some trepidation that I accepted an invite to a Topless Bathroom Party in the early hours of Sunday morning. Here we go, I thought, I'm going to have to get my breasts out aren't I? Because despite the hour and the numerous ridiculous pink Breezers, I was feeling pretty sober. But the thought of sitting around admiring the other girls' lovely boobs was too much so I ended up tagging along anyway, and Truculent Horse came too.
The Topless Bathroom Party was a handful of girls, a boy, and a horse all sitting in Urður's bathroom at 5am knocking back apple schnapps and giggling. And while I was quite happy to accept the schnapps, I refused to join in with the topless bit. "I'm a prude!" I insisted, trying to look my hostess in the eye rather than the chest. "I'm British, I can't help it!"
But then I just ended up sitting there fully-clothed in the bathtub thinking, am I really going to be that girl who wouldn't go topless at the topless party? So, in what was admittedly a bit of a mad panic, I whipped my top up for a split-second before making a mad dash for it down the stairs, out the door, and up the road, my most loyal yet truculent horse cantering along behind me.
I love Icelandic parties. I will get better at them one day, I promise.

That was a lucky escape. I'm never going to a party again, in fact I'm never going to Reykjavík again, it's too scary. You forgot to mention that I only took off my jumper! To reveal a pretty fetching red t-shirt underneath.
ReplyDeleteI did have the polo-neck removal in an earlier draft but thought you might want to mention it yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm never going to a party again either. All I'm doing from now on is eating vegetables at home.
I would just like to point it the unlikelihood of that statement, Annie dear. I seem to remember you resolving stay on the infamous wagon for a bit sometime earlier this year. That lasted all of a weekend (or a half), didn't it? I foresee you coming out to party next weekend.
ReplyDeleteBut for the sake of your britishness we'll try to leave the topless parties for some other time.
The way I feel now I really don't care if I don't see another beer until September.
ReplyDeleteAnother breast on the other hand...
But the seeing of these two things more often than not goes hand in hand (breast in beer?).
ReplyDeletea breast in the hand is worth two in the beer??
ReplyDeleteam i understanding this correctly?
I can't do that...!! I'm English..!!
ReplyDeleteOh how many men I've heard say those words.
A topless party? I wish I had thought of that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, except you'd 1 million get extra points for holding it in Antarctica.
ReplyDeleteA topless party?! Sounds like a stripper bash to me!
