JUNE VISITS ADAM AND EVE'S

When Bing Crosby recorded that famous song, "When Irish eyes are smiling", he hardly had in mind a little dressing and make up studio in Brick Lane in central London. But Irish eyes were certainly smiling there when I paid a visit to the establishment that describes itself as, "London's friendliest dressing service", one Tuesday morning last September. There to meet me were two other Irish lassies, Christine and Maureen who happened to drop by that morning and by the time that Josie had completedher magical transformation on me, there were three pairs of smiling Irish eyes in that basement studio in central London.

For any establishment to claim to be the friendliest is a huge statement to make. And as I had never been to any other London dressing service, I cannot say if such a claim is accurate. But I can say this; Everything about Adam and Eves exceeded all my expectations. From the time that I walked down the steps to the studio, until I emerged again over two hours later, in terms of value, welcome, friendliness and service, I could have asked for no more.

The previous night I had been to the Phil beach and had an enjoyable evening there. So my confidence was high as I left Earl's Court for Liverpool St and walking down Bethnal Green Rd, I was full of anticipation of what lay ahead. From the moment that I met with Josie and we shook hands, whatever doubts or fears I had were immediately dispelled and I knew that I had made the right decision in coming here.

I so desperately wanted to learn how to do my make up properly. For years I had been doing my own and never could I achieve a result with which I could say that I was remotely happy with. Of course I was trying the impossible. Would it be possible for a bus driver to pilot concord or for a butcher to perform brain surgery? Of course not. But in Josie's capable hands I discovered that lashing on coats of foundation and congealer were not the way towards getting a good result. Josie took me slowly and patiently through the various stages, placing special emphasis on my eyes and lips. Areas that until now I had paid little attention to.

And what about the final result? When I looked in the mirror and viewed the finished product, I felt that I had been in the hands of a miracle worker or a magician and not a make up therapist.

Josie also offered me some real constructive criticism on my hair and clothes. A quick change of hair and dress had me suddenly looking ten years younger.

The best testimony that I can give to this wonderful establishment and to it's kind, generous and welcoming proprietors, is to say; Of all the decisions that June Collins ever made, of all the places that she has went, since she first set out on her journey many years ago, visiting Adam and Eve's has been the most important, most rewarding, the most fulfilling. The best thing that June ever did.

In the world in general and in the cd/tv/ts --world in particular, there are people who are far from genuine and try to take advantage of us. But you Josie, you are genuine, kind and honest and that was my reason for giving you that big hug as I was leaving. I'll be back in London in January and again in March and you can expect a visit from me. And if Christine is there we will visit that internet cafe and go for a drink. That's a promise.

Many thanks and best wishes in the future---- June

Josie,
Thanks for a fantastic day and for transforming me into Louise.

I loved the all of the outfits, the purple and black dress with the boots and the little black dress at the end especially!!!

Will definitely be seeing you soon and can't wait to be that 'girl in the purple and black dress' at the Christmas party!!

My film will take at least a week to develop so can't wait for you to email me some of the photo's that you took. Really excited about being on the website!

See you soon and thanks again

Hi Josie,
Just a short note on behalf of myself and Catherine to thank you for our visit to Adam and Eve on Monday. My wife found seeing my transition to Rachel a valuable and positive experience, and we have both been able to build on the day. I think meeting the other girls was useful for her as well, so if you could pass on our thanks to Marion, Christine and Helen we would be very grateful.

My two visits to Adam and Eve have both been 'life-changing' experiences for Rachel. My first saw me gain the confidence that led to me finally telling my wife, and now the second has seen us progress to a stage where we feel that we can learn to incorporate Rachel into our life together. Thank you.

Finally, I'm still interested in coming to the Christmas party, and can now do so openly and without having to concoct a 'cover story', which is wonderful. Whilst I may have something nice in my wardrobe by then (E-Bay is proving a wonderful place in that respect), I am still keen to slip into that blue sparkly dress again :-)

Once again, on behalf of Catherine and myself, thank you.

Regards,

Rachel

Hi Josie,

I will be back! I'm certain, just not sure when...

If you could send the pictures that would be great. I've attached a couple from my camera to this email, if you want bigger sizes of the pictures then let me know.

Love

Hi Josie,
I came by Saturday (Sara) and I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and everyone who was there.

You may not have realised it but I was terrified at coming along (you may have realise by my shyness when I first got there) what with it being my first time fully dressed but everyone was so nice and friendly and you were an excellent hostess, I felt completely at easy and I really enjoyed myself.

I look forward to coming by again when possible

Thanks again

Regards
