Saved by Channel ♥ CC


Yesterday I committed a cardinal sin of sugar dating, or well, dating in general.




I didn't realise id done it until it was too late...




DUN


DUN


DUN!




I wore the same outfit! EEEK¬! :-)


By the time I got to my date with 'Mr Date' it was early afternoon. We met at a well known hotel in London, and I saw him as soon as I walked into the lobby. He was dressed smartly like always and greeted me with a hug.
We decided to get something to eat in the restaurant inside hotel, for ease and because we were both hungry by now.

The restaurant was a kind of Chinese with a twist, where they served Asian flavoured burgers if such things exist. I went for a plate of rice with shrimp and chicken, and Mr Date went for a big bowl of noodles.
I have to admit the date was dire. If this had been the first time I had met him, we would have never met again. Conversation was almost all one sided, and as I chatted away he stared blankly at me or checked his blackberry that was persistently bleeping.

He told me he was very happy to see me, but the atmosphere pointed to the contrary. Lunch felt rushed and I was with him for all of about an hour. The only saving grace he had was that he did mention he had a lot going on that day, business wise, and he seemed a little apprehensions about that.
It made me wonder, did we ever get along very well, or did I look at our chemistry with rose tinted glasses? Maybe, but I'm sure he was making minimum effort possible yesterday.
Mr Date is being laid to rest in my sugar world, and he joins the sugar grave yard of past potentials, who tried, but failed to win me over.

It was as I walked out of the hotel, that I started thinking about my next meeting with 'G', and it was then I realised I was committing the shameful outfit crime. Luckily, I am sure 'G' is probably the least fashion or outfit savvy man around, and whilst I'm sure he appreciates a women who looks good - I doubt he takes into account details and features of ones outfit.
Luckier still, the outfit as you may recall from my previous post was pretty inconspicuous and casual, Black tunic, Biker boots, Cashmere Coat. I still felt I needed one little thing to change the look, and once I looked in my bag I realised I could fix myself up a little wardrobe on the go!
In my bag I had some Kirby grips, so I secured my hair all to one side in a chignon.
I then found my Chanel pearls hanging around in my bag, 3 strands white pearls with a Chanel black bow, and the Chanel white flower with a discreet and gold 'cc' on one of its petals. I took of my McQueen scarf (RIP McQueen, sad news, admired artist) and added the pearls. I hope this made the same outfit look different enough to get away with!

I had a few hours to spare before I met G, so whats a girl to do. Well when in London, shop! I headed to the flagship Topshop on Oxford Circus and picked myself up a Christopher Kane for Topshop brown lace dress in the sale it was £15 what a bargain... I also made a mental note to come back here and have eyelash extensions done in their eyelash bar in store.

By now my feet hurt but I soldier on and Arrive at out meeting point (One thing I like about G is that he meets me in very convenient places and is relaxed with regards to where) I was still a little early, so whats a girl to do? That's right. I found a Dune shoes and was in the shop looking at the prettiest flat sandals covered in crystals when he called me.
Outside the store I noticed him, and it was quite funny watching him when he didn't realise I could see, ehehehe evil me. So I went over, gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek (ONE kiss on one cheek, I remembered from last time. I always do the two kisses, one on each cheek and I think again this shows a difference in hmmmm....cant think of the word... CLASS sounds awful. But that's kind of what I mean...?) I dont mean to come across as a snob because I am not, and I dont care about peoples backgrounds and walk of life, im just very observent so I notice things like that.

We decided to go to a local sports bar. Very laid back and down to earth and we drank beer and I nibbled on chicken wings and hot sauce. I actually had one million times more fun with G than with Mr Date, and I think we spent a few hours in there.

G bought up the face-to-face allowance talk, which was much appreciated. He has had a similar relationship in the past, and he told me her allowance - quite causally - was 2.5k a week. He made a point of saying that was after a long time together and they were very happy, but its just nice to know he has that potential I suppose. To be honest, that's more than I ever imagine. But it is nice to imagine.
I had such a great time with G that I decided I was too hasty last week, and I'm very glad that we met again. He is an absolute gentleman and I don't feel any pressure to sleep with him, or to look spotless at all times - I though as I had hot sauce all over my mouth at one point :-)

I think this counts for something, and he made it clear everything is on my terms, even how often we see each other. I think its a good deal if it all rings true.

Il do another post on exactly what allowance he offered and what kind of relationship we would have. This post is getting long and id like to post on how I work out allowances and tips on conversations surrounding them, as they can be tricky.

Weekend Kisses!

My Sugar Saturday


Yesterday, I wake up thinking 'what to do with my Saturday'? I usually find I'm working or away on a weekend, so its always nice to be at home and see what my friends plans are.
I was just laid in bed thinking about the day ahead, when my blackberry buzzed. Open message - Mr Showbiz 'Hey bow, I'm in town just back from America. Would you like lunch today?' So, up I got, jumped into the shower, washed my hair and set it in some big rollers while I got ready. I obviously didn't have time to tan so I have this new St Tropez instant tan that washes off (its so good for UK readers get it in Superdrug for like £15 and use a mitt to apply) so i covered myself in that, gave my self a quick mani, and got dressed.... I wore black leggings, some grey suade platforms from Topshop, a long dark grey vest top with silver studs, a light grey blazer, and my Prada bag - sounds very grey but looks pretty hot :-)

I jumped on the train to where I meet Mr Showbiz, who greeted me with a smile, a hug, and an envelope....this is what he did last time and i never open it while I'm with him.
Next we went to Nobu on Park Lane for lunch, we both had some amazing sashimi and sushi, washed down with Dom Perignon. After lunch I went back to his apartment (I haven't yet been to his house, but I have seen the pictures on facebook and its out of this universe amazing!) But we drove in his Bentley which was gorgeous they are my favorite cars, so classy. I stayed for a few hours, most of the afternoon, then he asked me where I wanted to go next. I said home, because I had some plans with friends to go shopping to the mall that evening.

When I got home, I opened the envelope and there was some allowance - happy shopping evening was ahead! Mr Showbiz always hands me at least a couple of K's when I see him. I know he would be the perfect sugar daddy if he is happy to hand me a few grand as a gift when I do see him, I can imagine the kind of allowance he would provide.
The problem is - Mr Showbiz travels all over for his 'showbusiness', that paired with my traveling all over means I often get these 'Hey Bow, would you like to go for lunch today' texts, but my usual response is ' So sorry I'm in Hong Kong!' and he will be in Florida or somewhere ridiculously far. So when we get together its very, very good, but its few and far between.

I need a sugar daddy who stays put! One who spends his majority of time in one place, and then I can travel and it wont impact on our meetings....

So with my spongdolies, I put in the bank as I am trying to save some £ into an investment. The rest, I decided I want a hair change next month - going to get really long extensions, wavy ones, with a really big fringe - bangs for US baby's - and really blonder than I usually have. So Il use some money towards that too.
Although, saying this I did go shopping and I bought loads of things. An amazing silver chunky Gucci Horsebit Bamboo bracelet I had seen Lauren Conrad in, a few new dresses with awesome sequined shoulder pad details, a few new blazers and jackets as its getting chilly over here in the UK now! And an amazing juicy couture fluffy hat.

So Saturday turned out to be a very sugary day for me, I have more updates but this seems like the longest post in the world so il post that a bit later on!
Have a great Sunday,
Love Always, Baby Bow xx

Can the stars be wrong? Is retail therapy always right?




After a good nights sleep in my own bed, which is always a luxurious feeling, I woke up to feel a little anxious about my lunch date ahead. I had a feeling, right from it being set the night before, that it wasn't going to happen - and that feeling was right.

I hadn't heard much from the gentleman in question - so I decided to call it off myself. I am not living in London at the moment, and traveling down to London just for lunch is one thing... Traveling down to London when your not sure your even meeting anyone just for lunch is entirely another.

So - what can a girl do when she feels a little disappointed? Shop. And Spray Tan.
Remember those Loubutins that Mr NY bought for me, the ones that didn't fit? Well I managed to send them back to netaporter and get a store online receipt which I hadn't yet used - so I bought myself a beautiful new pair of suede 'deva 120' fringed boots by Louboutin. You can see them in the picture, in sand colour. Just gorgeous. They are $1,095, (i love buying in $, it looks loads and then you work it out in £'s and 'feel' like its a bargain!) a little less than the ones Mr NY bought for me. Perfect result.

Talking of Mr NY, I wonder how he is? I really liked him it was such a shame he is so far away, and there wouldn't be enough opportunities to see him for an ongoing arrangement. He was hot, in my eyes anyway, I would have been major attracted to him with or without the sugar, which is always nice!

Then, after the boots (which honestly took me about 2 hours to choose because I couldn't decide) I went and had my eyebrows tinted, and a St Tropez spray tan. How can a girl feel sad with bronzed skin, dark neat eyebrows, and new shoes :-D
To end the afternoon on a better note, I have also made new plans that I hope will stick with the lunch date for a weeks time.

I'm out now with some girlfriends, have a great weekend all...

Love, Baby Bow xx

Its in the stars...


I have had a busy week so I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but il get right to that now!
This week I have been in South Africa, where I spent a few nights. While I was there, I bumped into the England and Australian cricket teams, who were staying in the same hotel as I was. We managed to hustle a few tickets for the match, and party with the players after in the bar! Lots of fun of course, and it took me a few days to recover. A few of them are pretty hot, but all mostly married and not good SD material!

While I was over there, i got my teeth whitened professionally by my dentist there. Its loads cheaper than the UK/USA and just amazing. My teeth are now really white and clean looking, when the dentist showed me the chart I was actually already number 2 on the whiteness scale already, but now I'm off the chart! I also had a little veneer fitted over a small chip on my front tooth, it hadn't actually bothered me as id had it for years, but when the dentist pointed it out I thought why not! It cost around 1800 rand for it all which is about $235 0r £146 - bargain!

I didn't have my date last night, as my potential pulled out at the last minute. I'm meeting him tomorrow for a lunch date, so hopefully that will go well...
To be honest I was going to cancel it as I feel pretty rushed as I've only just got home, and il be going away again soon... but then I read my horoscope!!

' Give some serious thought to your finances. Solutions to problems link to meetings you plan for Friday'

How strange is that! Loves it, so the lunch date is back on....

I have never had a lunch date before, I always feel better in the evening as I look my best dressed up, and of course its more acceptable to have a few more glasses of wine the later it is!
So I'm planning on having my hair big and wavy, my make up natural, I'm going to get up early and have a st Tropez spray tan before I go to meet him.
I'm going to wear black leggings or black trousers with a cream tunic top I have, its really pretty and it has a lace and black sequin bow design to the front. Il wear it with a long nude coloured cardigan, my Louboutins, and a grey prada bag.

What do you all think? I'm going for a classy look, maybe il take a picture and pop it onto my baby bow facebook profile so that those who are my friends can see. On the subject of facebook, I have had loads of requests from people with pictures but no mention of what blog they have? I am only accepting people who have a SB blog that I read, as I want to remain pretty anonymous :-)
Well I'm off to boxing class now, to try and tone up! Il update again later as there was more I wanted to write...
Loving everyones posts by the way.
Love, Baby Bow xx
