Yesterday I spent the day in uniform, marching in a parade and followed it with a funeral for a old vet, but the evening I was part of a crew that did the steak fry for the Legion Post and that was the point of being busted. I was sitting at the bar having a cocktail and talking with the guys and gals when one of the waitresses jumped up and came over next to me and asked in a more than a quiet voice, "did you get a manicure?". Well it gets real interesting from that point on.
I said yes and I love them. I explained I hated the broken short nails that split and cracked so I got them done with a gel coat at a local spa in town. She and her mother are so fun so then her mother said do you want some nail polish her color? It was pink with silver glitter, and I explained I like a deep red/wine color because it stands out better. LOL. The bar was in a uproar and the girls were having so much fun checking them out, I think more to see if they could detect any residual color from the last coloring. Of course then the question was do I color my toe nails of which I said yes but use black for them.
The night was a success and I got a lot of looks from the girls but I kept the head hi and presented myself as always. If you have any experiences that put you in the spotlight that gave a hint of your femme side jot it down.

Same for my toes when I am wearing sandals. My toes are always a bright color, usually a red shade. My fingers, because I sell insurance to older people who aren't used to seeing a man wearing nail polish, are usually a pale pink. But they are a little longer than normal and rounded like a ladies. Some of the ladies at my Church have told me they are jealous!!
