Inside capes

A fantastic lot of pictures!

Ever since I was small, seeing women in capes has given me a tingling sensation. Going back to 1944, we had a young girl called Stella who looked after my 2 year old sister. On rainy days she always wore a brown cape with the hood up and only the hand holding the umbrella exposed. She looked super. When she went home it had stopped raining but she still put on her cape, buttoning it right through and finally sliding her arms inside. She kept the hood down, it tingled to watch her. I often saw her wearing her cape, she always had it done up and always had her arms inside.

It always thrilled me to see women in capes, they look so mysterious and when their arms peep out of the slits you wonder what they have got on underneath.

Years later I had a girlfriend who wore a cape and she always buttoned it up in a dreamy fashion but undid it when we went to the pub. At closing time, she was quick to button it up and kept her arms inside. When we had a snogging session her arms would, of course appear and the climax came when I unbuttoned her.

My wife has had three capes and I loved seeing her when she buttoned up. She is soon to have another one.

Yes, capes are fantastic and look their best done up and the arms are inside. They look especially fantastic when worn on a sunny day.
