Getting read by an 'Expert'
On Monday I had the day off work and had the chance to dress up. So, I went out to get a new wig (which I'm very happy with) and wore it out of the store before proceeding down the block to a Goodwill for a bit of shopping. I found a few nice tops and a Prada skirt in my size. It really made me wonder how much that skirt was originally sold for!
Anyways, I'm heading up to the checkout counter and there's one guy in line ahead of me finishing up. He writes something down on a scrap of paper and turns to hand it to me. He says "I used to work here, they do great makeovers." I said "Thanks" and put the note in my purse finished checking out and headed home. When I got a chance I looked up what the place was that he handed me the name and number to. It happened to be a Wig Studio/Concept Salon. On its website it specifically calls out Gender Identity Services. I kind of doubt this guy went around handing scraps of paper to everyone so it was pretty clear I'd been read. At least I can think that if he worked there a while he got the chance to see lots of people and be an 'expert' on noticing a few things. I really have no idea how I pass with the general public (unless I talk, then it's probably close to zero percent of the time) but clearly there are signs to be read. Oh well, not the end of the world and it was still a great day out.

P.S. The place I was referred to is called Hana Designs. Anyone ever been there in Denver?
