Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 A light hearted topic to lift the mood following the sad news abour Nige Shaw. As summer is now on us and the temperature level at nighters is rising are you a shirt changer ( no shirt lifter jokes please ) or a sweaty wreck that leaves wearing the same shirt you arrived in. Personaly I like to get all sweaty then have a quick wash, a squirt of deodorant a clean shirt and start again. Depending on whether the music is to my taste I may do this up to 3 times at a nighter. Is this excessive or considerate to fellow soulies. Is this a male thing or do you ladies indulge. Come on, are you a soap dodger or a shirt changer.

I change once or twice in a night, and have a quick wash

Deegee Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I change once or twice in a night, and have a quick wash I take at least three tops!
Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 PERSONALLY I LIKE TO APPEAR ONCE IN A SWIMSUIT AND ONCE IN EVENING DRESS....I ALSO WANT TO TRAVEL AND HELP THE NEEDY SNAP - well except for helping the needy as I am the one that tends to need help
Guest Bearsoul Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 SNAP - well except for helping the needy as I am the one that tends to need help you need help no seriously you need help just kidding your a one woman party !!!! see you soon
Little-stevie Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Yes a change of shirt is nice and sometimes my undies too..The crown jewels sweat as well
Guest Bearsoul Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 always have a spare shirt in a plassy bag just waiting for it's big night...sort of an under-study thang....always wear two pairs of socks too so i can glide like a NUN !!!!
Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Yes a change of shirt is nice and sometimes my undies too..The crown jewels sweat as well Oh I say I think Winston would win the change of shirt comp hands down
Guest Matt Male Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I used to be a shirt changer years ago when it was traditional to take a beer towel covered bag to niters, but these days i can't be arsed so i get all sweaty and stinky. The cool breeze outside afterwards usually dries your shirt to a refreshing dampness that you can enjoy on the long drive home... Mind you i might take one to Winsford tomorrow night cos i expect it'll be a scorcher.. M.

Guest Doris Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 As summer is now on us and the temperature level at nighters is rising are you a shirt changer ( no shirt lifter jokes please ) or a sweaty wreck that leaves wearing the same shirt you arrived in. I'm with Karen Winston must hold the record for most shirt changes - he always smells lovely and clean and I know I can hug him without having to flinch to the smell of major BO - boys u are warned!!! An instant thought comes to mind about last time I was at Prestatyn and had the misfortune to be near a very swetty article who then went into a spin ........... I ended up sprayed thank to the speed ....................... Yeuch Doris

Guest Stormin Si Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 definetely a shirt changer, i like to try n keep fresh and dry although often its a losing battle! i often drench a shirt just by standing still, especially in the wheel
Geoff Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I seem to recall that Janet, whom some of you on the London soul scene many know, changed clothes about 7 times at the Soul In The City all dayer at the Valatone a couple of years ago. Anyone else remember that?
Guest Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I do change teeshirts occasionally but usually get get drenched and dry off on the way home
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 well i just go and wear my Northern soul t-shirt and keep it on all night never change. What's the point changing more then once if you gonna always get sweaty. Plus these days it's only a few hours, years ago it was all night 10.00 - 8.00. 10 hours now it's like 5 hours or something

Plus these days it's only a few hours, years ago it was all night 10.00 - 8.00. 10 hours now it's like 5 hours or something Your typical nighter still runs to 8 in the morning, usually starting at 9 or 10 so theres plenty of venues on offer with near on 8-10 hours of music
Sanquine Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 3 BEFORE EIGHT ?? Nice one, but as you beat me to it. If the music takes me and I'm dancing for most of the nite I'll defo get a wash n change, to be honest I love getting hot n sweaty or should I say, perspire Karen

Winnie :-) Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Depends how much I'm dancing, but generally about 4 shirts through the night. Could be more at a nighter. Just don't like that wet feeling Winnie:-)
mark ellis Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Never change any clothing at an all nighter, don't bother washing myself either. Can't see the point. Mark.
Supercorsa Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Just don't like that wet feeling Winnie:-) Only under your feet whilst your dancing, eh Winston? Who needs talc.
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 well in Peterborough no nighters run so late and why you all change so much you going out for the night not a week on holiday but enjoy the joke lol
Winnie :-) Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Only under your feet whilst your dancing, eh Winston? Who needs talc. ==============
Winnie :-) Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 well in Peterborough no nighters run so late and why you all change so much you going out for the night not a week on holiday but enjoy the joke lol ============= But it does get very warm at both the Post Office and Railway clubs
Sanquine Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Never change any clothing at an all nighter, don't bother washing myself either. Can't see the point. Mark. Is that before or during the niter Mark! Tut tut, think it's bout time we found you a nice woman to show you the point Will you be at LifeLine Sat ??? We can begin the search...... Karen
Guest Andy BB Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Perhaps you can help with this. It is indeed a good idea to take a spare shirt but how do you prevent the spare shirt from becoming creased in your bag? Do you use the minimum-iron Van Heusen or Aquascutum range? I've so far been unable to find a button down in either of those ranges and, aside from those, I'm yet to find a truly crease-free shirt that would withstand four or five hours folded in a bag and still be presentable. Can anyone recommend a solution that doesn't involve carring a flat shirt-hanger carrier into the do? Oh, hang on, Soul Source... sorry, I thought I was on Uppers. Ignore that. Carry on as you were you scruffy b*ggers
Sanquine Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Perhaps you can help with this. It is indeed a good idea to take a spare shirt but how do you prevent the spare shirt from becoming creased in your bag? Use a professional Ironing service ie: Mine. Can anyone recommend a solution that doesn't involve carring a flat shirt-hanger carrier into the do? Yes got a brilliant solution a way to solve creased shirt dilemma and increase my income for records at the same time I could bring my steam iron etc and set up stall at the end of the record bar for soulies wanting to change half way through the nite into crease free shirts. Well my business is called "Creases Away" Karen

Guest vinylvixen Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Yes Miss Vixen. I also appear with the old fashioned Y fronts, X Coal board Issue grey that pulled up fit snug under your armpits. All the best,Kev,J. Grey is the new black ....they sound SO Prada, darling ...and the waistband will soak up the sweat as they're fitted under the armpits....multifuncitonal - I'm liking them already but I still won't change my shirt....always wear black - that way, you can't see the sweat Jo

Back in the days of dancing all night if I wore a black dress or top I always had a "white line" of dried sweat under the boobies I just tend to strut about for most of the night now, so sweat isn't really a problem Still take some clean clothes out with ma and tend to change from nice frock and heels, into jeans and tee-shirt (still with heels) towards the end of the night - or earlier if I'm in knicker flashing mode and getting in trouble with my husband
Guest vinylvixen Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 You can when it dries! LOL.... It's a bit like salt on your plimsoles at the seaside....leaving a white tidemark round your shoes.... Still take some clean clothes out with ma and tend to change from nice frock and heels, into jeans and tee-shirt (still with heels) towards the end of the night - or earlier if I'm in knicker flashing mode and getting in trouble with my husband Oooh you cheeky minx.... Nothing like knicker flashing...and then getting into 'trouble' after..... Jo
