Out on the Town

Well personally, having been in three different Air Forces, I must admit that I do like dressing up and going out on the town all ranked up. With three different uniforms and eras to choose from, I find that I can mix and match more easily and still achieve that militaria look that was so beloved of Carnaby Street in the late 60's. I also have a wide range of medals and miniatures that I can choose from. My long hair (see below) and the caps and berets are a bit of a challenge though.
.
Of course the sex-change that I had in the middle there somewhere does tend to complicate the wardrobe somewhat. But especially after that sea-change in my life, I have found that I do so much like a man in uniform. It really turns my head.
