Well I finally went out as Jolene! Two days while up north this last week. And the world did not end!
I couldn’t believe how liberating it was, middle of the day and no backup clothes. The wife was visiting some relatives (if she had been with me someone might have recognized her).
The first trip was quite short just a quick stop by an oriental cosmetics store and got some nail polish remover since I forgot to pack some, and then a stop at TJ Max to look around. I have to admit I was nervous when I had to interact with others as my female voice is not too good but all went well. The second time was another day and I stopped at a Catherine’s and the lady there said “you look pretty small, I don’t think we have anything that will fit you” (I didn’t know it was a “full figured ladies shop” but she was wrong though I bought a great pair of sun glasses.
Stopped and watched the local semi pro baseball game and walked around the park. Just another pretty face in the crowd, that’s how I felt (it’s my story after all).
Believe me if I can do it anyone can.
Any way just thought I’d share, didn’t get any pictures but I will have the wife take some of me in the outfits I wore and post them later.
