Hood fun

Dear Lorraine,

May I say how much I enjoyed reading the letters on your site. Jane my friend and I joined Lonni's club when we came back to uni for our second year. We went down Oxford Street to Next, Gap and H & M. We both bought baggy black combat trousers and oversized hoodies with deep hoods. In H & M we both bought long snorkel hooded coats. Mine was black and Jane's dark green. They are fur-trimmed at hem and hood have strings to close them tight at the hem, waist and hood. They have compicated straps to hold the snorkel hoods up and shut.

We went to uni wearing baggy trousers, hoodies with the hood up and the coats fully fastened. Lecturers and other students didn't mind but the security bloke was a pain. He wanted to see our faces but we refused. Eventually we were let in. But it was too hot!

After two lectures we undid our coats and put the hoods down but kept our hoody hoods up.We managed to eat and drink with friends (boy friends) at the bar with our hoods up. But Lonni's strict feminist ideal fell by the wayside.

We went out to the student club that night still wearing our hoodies with the hood up and our H & M coats. We got good and pissed and ended up with our ex-boy-friends of last year in our flat. We both enjoyed ourselves with our hoodies and coats on. Dan my boyfriend insisted I wear my coat done up. It was great and gave him a great buzz.

Now we have got both boys to wear hoodies or parkas with the hood up all the time. As soon as I see him wearing his snorkel type parka with the hood up and I'm wearing a hood I feel weak.

Good luck to Lonni and her friends but I'm here to have hooded fun.
