Fingerless Gloves

You would be forgiven for associating fingerless gloves with burglars and the homeless, however it seems that in the past, the fingerless glove was actually popular with the wealthy classes. Well now the hipsters are taking them back, with every other trend once extinct and left for the homeless to pull out of a bin.

The Purchase
It may seem that fingerless gloves are everywhere this season, however obtaining ones other than the mono-chromatic tripe found in the local Primark is not that easy. However, when I opened up my boundaries and looked in the kids section of Cardiff's Peacocks, I found the perfect set. It even comprised of two pairs for the price of one so that James and I were both catered for. Yes, the fit wasn't exactly perfect, however the form hugging nature of a child's glove does mean that grip is less hindered. When purchasing, the lady at the till questioned, 'these are a lovely choice of gloves for your daughter?' Flirtingly hoping I would prove my fertility, hop over the counter and flood her fallopian tubes with potent seed. Alas, this was not the case, and I corrected her by saying the gloves were actually chosen as the subject of TTC's latest trend to scrutinise.

The gloves in question

The Night
Unfortunately the night didn't result in much of interest to regale here. There was the usual fun and frolics with convivial lads but with TTC becoming more and more popular, and James' and my personalities being so likable, we find that if a trend is not Super Amazing then we are the stars of the evening and not the fashionable items we are sporting. This is the case for the fingerless glove. Yes, they did provide some warmth to the hands whilst walking between venues, but the punters inside only cared for the people within the gloves:

Case in point: no gloves to be seen, just pure emotion

Most Useful Bonus Feature
A common theme that runs through our arduous evenings in Cardiff is the quantity of sweat produced - a quantity that would disgust the stars of Channel 4's Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners. As we aren't allowed to take man-towels or entire rolls of Tesco's Ultra Absorbent Kitchen Towel into Live Lounge, we usually just accept that we will drip and as a consequence massively increase the risk of an embarrassing slip onto the sticky, lonely dance floor. Not this night though! Our methods weren't complicated, as demonstrated below:

Drying up nicely

A Side Effect
Glove wearing does seem to result in unnecessary hand holding, but maybe that is exactly where friendships are forged!
