Mistaken for F. Member of Board at Xmas Party!!!

[skirtsuit]

This could be a new CD 'milestone' for me - Last evening I went, en femme, to the annual holiday party thrown by the thrift shop I volunteer at (Philly Aids Thrift or PAT) where nobody knew about my CDing and I surprised everybody!

Nobody recognized me, even to the point of having to point out my name tag for a few. I found out later in the evening that while I was waiting to check my coat, the staff was trying to figure out who I was and it was suggested that I was a female member of the board of directors that nobody recognized!

Here's a few snaps of my new look:

The glasses are new and my fist pair of dedicated 'girl' glasses. I had a blast at the eye glass place, picking out & fitting my girly glasses, but that is a whole other story....

Hi there . . . love the hair and love the glasses. I also have a pair of female frames which I wear when en femme. Great story and I can tell you are having a good time by your pics.

Hugs

Hi, Cute story, you actually look a little like our neighbor, which is a good thing! Hugs Jaymee

[PatMatoole]

Congrats!! Methinks this makes you feel good!

[Lynn Marie]

That's a really "rich" looking outfit. No wonder you had everyone wondering!

[Katey888]

That's a lovely story and you look like you're having a blast! I'm Treasurer of a local charity here (board member, if you like) but I think it may be some time before I <probably> freak out all our staff at their Christmas get together, or even go along to a board meeting.... hmmm. you have my admiration for achieving your new milestone.

Ding Ding Ding!!!
Give Veronica a prize!! Insightful as always miss Moonlit.

I bought the dress a few weeks ago on a trip to the King of Prussia Mall - the dress, a size 10, fit sooooo beautifully in the dressing room at the Talbots that I had to buy it. It also may well have inspired my 'coming out' to my thrift shop friends as I felt a huge need to show off my new dress in an appropriate setting.

Best,
SS

PS - here's a link to the dress in question:

[docrobbysherry]

I'm voting for SkirtSuit for Board Member in the next election! She's obviously well qualified.

[Krystenw]

To be a size 10 again, Like that will ever happen.
You look wonderful.

[Naomi Newman]

you are very convincing :-) can easy see why, you look great, and obviously have the personality to carry it also

[Diane Smith]

So, you should just show up at the next board meeting and act as if you belong there. Take a seat, participate in the discussion, vote on a few issues. It seems everybody assumes you are a member already, so you can have some influence without needing to bother with the trivia of an election or any real responsibilities. Sounds perfect to me!
