Hey everyone. I know I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been lurking. Today my girlfriend and I went out shopping, and since I've been in the market for some lingerie, she went into La Vie En Rose to ask them if they allow men/crossdressers to try on their lingerie. The answer? A shocking "No!" This is the first time I've faced/been subjected to any kind of real rejection like that, and it felt awful. Their reason wasn't that bad (they're worried about men and women sharing changing rooms), but I was still very offended and it put me in a depressed funk for most of the day.
On a more positive note, I did get to try on lingerie at a different store (for the first time admitting that I was doing it as a crossdresser, I've tried on corsets before but said it was for Halloween) and I found some that I liked so my extremely generous and supportive girlfriend bought it for me.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that negative experience so that anyone who is wondering about La Vie En Rose knows that they should just skip it. I and my girlfriend have both decided we're done shopping there altogether, at least for a while.
