Events from Today with iZentai

Today I met up with iZentai again, for some random wanderings around on the Millennium bridge and the Tate Modern.

After doing the morning at work, I got changed and headed to the tube station, where after getting the car park ticket, I de-clothed and only had the zentai on… Put on my dog harness (After much huffing and puffing and starting to get very cross). Tucked my oyster cad inside my right hand of the Zentai … hood up and off I went to get the tube.

Hmm, this was the first time I’d been on the tube on my own in Zentai, with nobody to be there as the ‘safety net’. Yes, I was very nervous (somewhat scared) but found an empty carriage, got on and waited.
It’s strange, people are very aware of this random ‘thing’ on the tube, but don’t seem to be too worried. A couple of pictures were taken as I headed to St. Pauls on the tube.

Once at St. Pauls, I dis-embarked the tube network; again, somewhat unsure of myself and others, but no hassle was given.

I find it odd that there is this mind set of being scared of the un-usual, yet when confronted with it, most people ignore it and don’t even raise an eyebrow.

Off I headed to meet iZentai trying hard to navigate and read the pedestrian sign posts on how to get to St. Pauls Cathedral. You don’t appreciate how well you see until you loose a fair amount of clarity through the zentai. Black is easier to see through than white, and you guessed it: one eye had white over it, and the other eye had a black spot just offset to the left, so to read things I had to almost look past the object to my right. Still, I got to the meeting point, and … no-one … “Gulp” … check the phone: ah, message, phew … they were no more than 100m away on the other side of the road.

Found them, said our hellos and then wandered towards the millennium bridge.

The photographer that iZentai knows, was having great fun in posing us to make some really cool shots (looking forward to seeing those). Off over the millennium bridge to the other side where we took a few more pictures, and the children commented that “The Dog’s not very good” … well, I was doing as told, sit to the side, and iZentai was doing hand stands/handstands/sort of moves … ah well, it brought them enjoyment and that’s what we are there for.

Into the Tate Modern we go, where we don’t get more than a few paces into the Turbine hall when the security stop us … ask a load of questions, we ask to see the duty manager and end up with an even more random conversation… Though I think (as I headed off to find a tree as dogs do 🙂 ) but to do that I had to de-hood… on my return iZentai and the photographer were waiting at info desk to talk to the real Duty Manager. Who, on arrival, couldn’t have been nicer. She was happy for us to spend time there, just don’t perform as actors there. She sort of did give us a curfew to work to of 3.30pm and that gave us an hour and a half to wander round. So with the entry glitch sorted, off we head to find some interesting random places to take pictures (Not in the galleries as you’re not allowed to). One fantastic moment we found was on one of the walls at about chest height was in very big letters “Fetish” … well it was too conveniant, so a few pictures were taken there allong with many others around the public areas of the museum.

Time just seemed to run away… we get to the top floor café and have a coffee; yet again, Spot has to de-hood 🙁 as coffee stains round the mouth of the zentai would be un-appealing.

After a nice chat in the café and we realise time is getting just after 4pm. So hoods up, and we headed off to leave, not stopping on the way, since it would be unfair to push our luck and out-stay our welcome.

Outside it was cold and damp, but not raining (seems we got away with it). Back through to the tube and a good bye at the escalators since iZentai and the photographer were going East, I was going West. Homeward bound in the beginning of the rush hour on the tube … fun, but some what scary again as I’m on my own!

Glad I went out for the day, and really looking forward to another random meet up and wander (bring on the nicer weather so it can be outside for longer)

Looking forward to seeing the pictures from today 🙂

I’ll own up here as a last point, I’m not sure how well I model, I know I’m very rigid to start, takes me a while to relax … but I hope I was a help, and not a hindrance????

Once iZentai has written her post I’ll link to it so you can read her perspective on the day 🙂
