A new first for Tammi. Yesterday morning, I got all the way dressed and headed to a salon for my first make-over. It went rather well, and I picked up ALOT of good application tips. A pic me with of the beautician, Stacy is posted below. She and the other staff were very cool.
From there, I headed down the road towards my office. NOOO, I didn't go inside and out myself to everyone, but rather called a coworker from the road. I've worked with her, Nicki, for almost three years. We've become better friends over the past six months, and have even spoken a bit about TG issues. She's very kind, open-minded and compassionate, so I felt comfortable outing myself to her. We met at a small restaurant after the lunch rush and had the place to ourselves. She couldn't've been more kind, understanding or supportive. When I asked "are you sure you're not uncomfortable...," she responded "I only feel bad for the extent to which you feel nervous or uncomfortable." It was wonderful.
After lunch, I went to the mall (sola), walked around a bit and then took in a movie I've been wanting to see, "Good Night and Good Luck. The movie was great. The rest of the mall experience was a bit nervwracking. I was made a coupla times and felt a bit uncomfortable, though I didn't feel I was in any "danger" per se. Next time I go dressed to the mall it will be with a GG friend, and closer to closing time.
All in all, I had a very rewarding and pleasurable experience. Sooo, here are a coupla pics from the salon.
Out;
I'm glad it worked out for you. Can I ask you something? what was going through your mind as you got read...and how did you deal with those thoughts. I figure I need to know this for when I get read too.
