I had the best and most wonderful summer's day today. Want to hear all about it?
...sure you do!
So... I'm staying at Phinn's this week while I'm in Brighton. You may or may not have known that. It doesn't really matter. But she's the BEST. She looks after me like no other.
This isn't really why I had such a great day (but it really did add to it). So...
... we met up in Brighton town with Lolo, her boyfriend and Dylan. Stopped off at the tattoo shop that Woody (Phinn's boyfriend) works at for much needed toilet necessities (see last journal entry for my insanely frequent peeing activities).
As I came out of the back room I laid eyes upon my old friend Akemi. It's been just such a long time since I saw her. After we spent a good few weeks last year throughout the summer in each other's pockets I've missed her like crazy. I almost died with excitement (I think the rest of the busy tattoo shop also lost their hearing due to our silly girly squeels).
After we calmed down a little and gleeful as ever we set off hand in hand along with Phinn, Lolo and Dylan to walk along the seafront. It seemed to take forever to get to where we were going but it didn't matter because today it was summer. And if the summer only lasted for this one afternoon we didn't care as long as we were together and happy.
We bought some typically British candy (Brighton Rock) and munched on it along the way.
Finally we arrived at our destination: the gay nudest section of the beach. Here we settled down for a bit of a photoshoot where we gathered a fairly large and bustling crowd. Phinn was a star and actually seemed to quite enjoy the attention from all the naked gay sunbathers. Akemi was my expert and underpaid photographer's assistant as we battled against the bright and hot afternoon sun.
And believe me... it was hot. Despite what you might be thinking (it's only England...). It was a wonderfully summery day.
The shoot was wrapped up and we moved on to our next destination which actually turned out to be over taken by a building site. So we asked permission anyway. Like a bunch of builders are going to say no to a naked photoshoot right under their noses??
Again we amassed quite an audience and this time it was Lolo's turn to be brave and "not give a shit". This shoot was, afterall, all about attitude. Just you wait...
For this shoot the amazing Phinn was my overworked and underpaid assistant and she not only turned herself into the best reflector known to mankind but also the best human screen to help hide some of poor Lolo's modesty from prying eyes.
Of course after this we were all famished and rather tired. So a bit of a trek back to the pier and we stopped off for good old fashioned chips on the seafront. As we reached the pier Akemi, Phinn and I indulged in some rather over-priced donuts (but boy were they great) while Dylan and Lolo enjoyed Crepes.
The beautiful and happy day was finished off with cans of Grolsch on the beach and a trip to the pub.
Phinn, Woody and I topped everything off with a super satisfying meal at a spanish Tapas Bar on the way home.
All in all I'm now thoroughly exhausted and ludicrously happy. The best thing of all?
I get to do this all over again on Saturday.
I love this town and my amazing friends in Brighton. What I wouldn't give to live here and see them all the time instead of having to wait six months at a time.

Photos:
Me, Dylan, Lolo and Phinn. (Akemi took this one).
If this was bigger you'd actually see that Phinn's boobie was popping out of her bikini top. Unfortunately the photo isn't bigger so you'll have to believe me.
Akemi and Phinn.
Dylan who obviously wasn't enjoying having her photo taken.
Akemi. If you look hard enough you'll obviously see me and my big penis extension of a camera but also the set of a top secret shoot. Shhh!
...
... Holy crap I love these girls.
