But Mrs Peelthemdown did, and for that I love her hugely.

The show was fun and funny. Lucy and Elly were charming and engaging, and very gracious with their admirers, some of whom were a little bit persistent. Ben's trumpet playing and looping added to the proceedings and was really mellow.

The show involved some cheese, and then a really good section about virtual reality, kind of a reflection on the way Lucy and Elly themselves are mediated to us through screens and in doing so become who we want them to be, rather than who they really are. During this section they went into the audience a couple of times, encouraging audience members to body paint them using their fingers. And then Lucy drew portraits of several audience members on their knees, including Mrs Peelthemdown.

The second half involved lots of body painting and musings on lifelines: what each line represented, a facet of Lucy or Elly's life or personality.

We can't show our faces, sadly, which is a shame as Mrs Peelthemdown has a lovely smile in the original of the photo below. So I moved Lucy's portrait of Mrs Peelthemdown to cover her face, in Microsoft Paint- for speed, and via a bitmap save to strip out other data (sorry!)

Lucy, Elly and Ben are real heroes of body positivity in the UK. Go and support them- especially if you are a body positive woman, or are in a relationship with one and can persuade her to go: the more women who go along to these events and take the plunge, the less intimidating they will be for everyone!

Thanks very much for the kind words and I'm really glad you both enjoyed the show. Hopefully lots more coming soon X
