Doing something outrageous!

If you could do something that was totally outrageous without any retribution, what would it be?

I’d love to be turned into a drag queen with full glam make up and long curly wig.

What would you like to do?

Skinny Dip

I've done quite a few outrageous things in my past so I'm happy to be boring now ?

Acting in a raunchy movie with Rufus Sewell - except of course, I wouldn’t be acting....?

I would like to have sex outside. Something we did as youngsters but as an oldie it still seems exciting! I may make that my goal of 2022?

It's definitely dressing up and
playing the part of an alien in Dr Who .
Even being a Time Lord .
Best of all being part of the Borg collective in Star Trek .
Dressing in twenties clothes for an Agatha Christie mystery.
Dressing in 18th century dress for Dangerous Liaisons or Joseph Andrews ...
Being a whore in a brothel in Harlots !
Being a nasty Aunt in The Handmaid's Tale .
My imagination and the list is endless....

I could definitely take Rufus Sewell on but apart from that nothing else appeals although I sometimes think about just disappearing.

I’m very boring nowadays, but like others I have had my moments of fun in the past ?? but if throwing buckets of ice cold water over Boris and his Cabinet would shock them out of their complacency, I’d opt to do that. Don’t really know if that counts as outrageous.

I would love to be a 'jumper ooter' on a ghost tour - a really evil scary one that chased them up the street with a blood dripping axe !

Many years ago on holiday in France I went to a laundrette to wash the childrens clothes, I wandered round the supermarket whilst waiting.
I was about 5 minutes late returning and found all the clothes scattered on the dirty floor, a young French guy was filling the machine with his stuff and trampling on my clothes.
Customers looked horrified but said nothing.
He set the machine and flounced out……..except he hadn’t shut the door properly.
His jeans and sweatshirts went from a 20 minute rapido to a 60 minute hot.
A customer clapped as she saw what I had done.
I wish I had had the courage to hang around for his return.

What a horrid man !

If only you could have added some non colour
fast item like bright red knickers as well !
Then he'd have a nice pink wash as well as a nice shrunken one !

That's more of a civic duty. I'll be next in line grin

BigBertha1 Are you okay? I felt worried when I read your words "I sometimes think about just disappearing."

Graygirl Thu 16-Jun-22 12:12:14

I have done some outrageous things in my life, most of which my family have no knowledge. These days happy to sit back and listen.I am a member of the mile high club twice that was fun

tiredoldwoman I've been a 'jumper ooter' on a National Trust ghost tour!! I had to creep up behind the tour party and drop a heavy chain on the floor. Grown men screamed!! It was the best fun.....I can highly recommend it.

I believe it would actually be a breach of the peace, but it might just count as assault, so run it past a lawyer first.

Apart from that, I doubt it would shock Boris&Co out of their complacency - nothing ever will, I am afraid, but I would love to see their faces if you did it, so please have a camera crew on hands

I’ve done some things that were considered pretty outrageous in their day and would love to do so again! My children are much more conservative than I was so I wouldn’t want to embarrass them now. Always loved dressing up so a long held wish of mine is to dress up in a long black outfit with a huge pointed hat and silently go to a public place (like a doctors waiting room) and just SIT quietly there. If anyone asked if they could help me I’d just say, very politely, no thank you. And just sit… and sit…. Wonder what would happen? One way ticket to the nearest hospital, I think! I also would love to ride in a sleigh pulled by reindeer ( wouldn’t matter if they didn’t fly!) in the snow at night. If the REAL Santa Claus could be there as well it would be bliss!

I am a timid scaredy cat and have never done anything outrageous. I would love to dress in a glamorous, sparkly dress and sing and dance on stage in front of a large audience. Mind you, I can't sing or dance!

Honeysuckleberries Thu 16-Jun-22 13:44:49

As I said, no repercussions so let your imagination run wild. Perhaps we could be invisible if required.

Tooyoungytobeagrandma Thu 16-Jun-22 13:55:50

I did some wild and outrageous things in my 20's then became a boring married woman. Now divorced and happier than I have been for too long I intend doing outrageous things again. Already had a couple ons with much younger men now looking for long time partner to misbehave with. Sex outdoors again a definite on the list ?

Be completely shameless and marry an old billionaire for his money!

DanniRae Thu 16-Jun-22 15:19:14
