Today I was shopping at Haight -Ashbury Vintage Clothes, where there was a young man trying on gowns for a gay prom he was attending. He cane out of the dressing room to show his girl friends, saw me and turned to go back into the dressing room. I said, "hold on, come here and give us a Vanna. "so he came out and modeled the pretty pink gown for us. I could tell he was a little worried about this old guy in a jean jacket, so I pulled out my iPhone and scroled through some pictures of me dressed, while saying, "55 years ago my mother caught me trying on my sister's dress, and I have been marching out of uniform ever since. "this seemed to relax the mood so I made some suggestions about bra size and showed him how to tape for cleavage. He was very grateful for the advice, as this is his first time dressing. I said, "I'll bet it won't be your last. "
One of the girls with him said she was going to the prom as his "date "and said she didn't know what to wear. I suggested she rent a tux
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything for me, but this store had a lot of larger sizes, so if your ever in San Francisco...
