so you just done your makeup and ..
put on your new dress and matching heels and there is a supprising unknown knock on the door!!

so do you...??


A) quickly dive for cover and hide under the bed and make sure that your not seen through the window wile doing that hoping that they will just go away.

B) open the door and suprise them ..."yea this is me"

C) slip out the back door as you feel like coming out anyway

OR

D) say out aloud "WONT BE A MIN" then have man drab next to you and the rapid makeup remover ready for just this kind of occasaion and by the time you have acheaved this you hope there still standing there waiting for the door to open.

what do you do?

[Victoria StJohn]

For me, it would be 'A', the chicken, I am. LOL

[Abbygirl]

All "A" for me, I'm afraid.

[Eryn]

Since my friends would never come without calling first I would simply ignore the knock. It will invariably be someone selling a product, service, or religion and none of these people are worth a second of my time. Let them litter my porch with their pamphlet and move on to their next victim.

There is probably some cultural differences at work. Here in SoCal people often don't socialize with their neighbors but rather with friends that live miles away. They wouldn't risk driving miles to visit to find that the person they intend to visit isn't home.

If I were worried about being seen through the windows I would seriously consider some curtains!

[Barbara Ella]

A modified version of A, as I would never fit under the bed..lol. COnsider it just like the telephone. I am not obligated to answer either if not in the mood, and believe me, when Barbara has just gotten her hair and earrings on, no one better mess with the mood.

I don't answer the door to unsolicited callers, they are usually religious nuts. Therefore, I won't answer the door no matter how I'm dressed.

[reb.femme]

Been there, been there.

Bloody window cleaner called on a Sunday after my wife had gone to work. Why can't some people stick to Monday to Friday. I can't put up with exceptional service, it's so un-British!

I've been out and about en femme away from home and would liked to have opened the door but I will not subject my wife to me being outed locally. So option A unfortunately.

I don't answer the door to unsolicited callers, they are usually religious nuts. Therefore, I won't answer the door no matter how I'm dressed.

Some day I'd like to answer the door dressed and ask the religious nuts if I can model a few outfits for them.

[Ava Tryptyk]

I would most likely go with A. Whether I'm dressed en drab, en femme, or nude, I don't like unexpected company. I want to be called/messaged first if I should expect a person to come to my house/apartment/dorm/wherever I am living. Though if down the road I become more open about the dressing and I know it is someone who is also open-minded about it, I would choose B.

[Lillyasia]

That happened to me yesterday. I had a suspicion someone might come by even though no one was supposed to be home. Call it hightened intuition while dressed. Anyways, I changed back to male mode and shortly thereafter a distant relative shows up unannounced. Well, they called while in front of the house but I was ignoring the phone.

How about an option E where you change and wet your hair then open the door. Then say you were in the shower because how many of us would come out to answer the door if we were really in the shower. That will buy you time to change without having to rip things off.

Unannounced visitors are more than annoying, they're rude.

[xdressed]

Probably A, although if they shout in and it's someone I know I'll skip to D. My friends sometimes come over unannounced, everyone now and then a 1 in the morning which is pretty annoying.

[Amy A]

Kind of A, but I wouldn't so much as hide, rather just ignore it. As a few have said here, my friends don't turn up unannounced, so it wouldn't be anyone important. The ones I hate the most are people who put catalogues through your door then turn up demanding them back a few days later.

[Eddie]

Funny, I was just thinking about starting a thread about this very topic this morning
Always option A. That is, unless my nosey sister dicides to stop by. About a year ago she stopped by and saw my vehicle parked on the street. I had just gotten all dolled up. She knocked on the door, then called my cell phone. She heard my phone ring and knocked some more ( I didn't answer ). I frantically started removing my heels, hose and other things ( I knew she wasn't going to leave until I answered the door ), threw everything in the closet and answered the door. I told her I was taking a nap.
I did make sure to tell her not to stop by without calling first again. She has not done it since

[STACY B]

Back in the day when I was still Painting on the makeup an nail polish an Heels an Hose an Dresses it never failed ,,,, Knock,,,,Knock,,,Knock,,,, W.T.F ---Then the phone --- Knock ,,,Knock,,, Kids beating the door down ,,Grown kids ,, Another reason to get Busted ,, That used to get me sooooooo MAD !! I wanted to say Do you know how much this friggen MAC makeup cost ? An it took me two hours to put it on for the fourth time an I finaly got it half way right an then a Dummy like you comes an beats the door off the hinges ... You dont have a life or what ? An the add insult to injury they stay 5 min an leave !! Try that on an see if that s fits ? So to answer your question its the last one ,,,Dont answer an let them go away ,,, But now ,,, I just leave the door unlocked they already know if they dont like it hit the road !

[docrobbysherry]

F. (Because someone else added an E.) Take off my makeup and answer the phone, door, whatever.

Since it only takes me 10 seconds to put mine on and 5 to take it off!

[EllenJo]

Option A for me. This happened about 6 months ago and since we live in a small town when no one answered the door she just opened it and yelled if anyone was home. Lucky for me I was in the hallway when she rang the bell and was able to dash into the bathroom and yell back that I was in the shower and that the wife was not home. She made herself at home in the kitchen to wait on the wifes return while I washed off my make up and changed clothes. I don't know what I would have done if I had been trapped in the kitchen or living room. Now I make sure the doors are locked when I have time to be EllenJo.

[Megan Thomas]

I never answer my door to unexpected callers. Just not my thing even though I have transitioned and have no reason not to open it it to anyone. Guess I just like to be in control of when and who I share my time with?

[sandra-leigh]

B) Open the door.

My immediate family are not going to visit without lots of notice as they live 1000 miles away.

The mailman and parcel delivery people have already seen me many times.

I don't care what the door to door zealots think of of me: if I upset them, then I wouldn't want to join their party. Same goes for the religious people, not just the politicians.

[Lorileah]

I would open the door. Hey they came to my door. They should have called ahead.

[Stephanie47]

Three years ago my wife was in the mid West. I had one of those seven to ten day all you can cross dress 'vacations.' Normally I do not wear too much makeup or paint my fingernails. But, with that much time, I did. There I am sitting fully en femme, when the telephone rings. My daughter-in-law and grandchild are locked out of the house with the car keys in the house. What to do? Call Stephanie. The grandchild is crying in the car. The trip is just four minutes away. That was the quickest nail polish and makeup removal session ever. I did go over under dressed, handing my set of house keys through the window. Everything went OK, except to ruin the mood for the day.

Whenever a neighbor or deliveryperson rings the doorbell, I just do not answer. I can always say I was taking a shower.

[Cynthia Anne]

I have been there and done all of them! But in recent years it is [b] only!

[NathalieX66]

Don't care.

The only thing I care about is my career, and the ramifications of outing myself in my profession. that's the only hurdle.

[Missy]

for me it would be (B) I would answer the door while acting like everyday thing it is wear I live and what I do in my place is what happens
if you come over with out calling you just might get a shock you might not want

[Leah Lynn]

I have wondered what I would do in that situation. I'm usually home at night, so the lights are on; a dead giveaway.

[ArleneRaquel]

If people don't call ahead of time, I don't answer the knock. In the case of UPS delivery men I usually answer the door if I expect them, I'm very often dressed en femme with full makeup on and I've answered the door this way. A few years back I was dressed with a shear black robe on, with makeup, wig, femmy eye wear and I don't remember what else and he called me "sir". That remark ruined this babe' day.
