This will be a longer post but I think you'll be entertained by it. I had a deliciously embarrassing moment that I'd like to share with you. I only recently started getting all dressed up with actual places to go. I attended the Chicago Gender Society's December dinner dance. I thought, GG's buy special dresses for special occasions, why not me? I ordered a floor length evening gown in two sizes from a major department store. I had to return one and have the other one altered. I went en drab (with the necessary under dressing) to the store and walked up to the appropriate counter. I returned the one dress to the sales associate and told her I needed to have the other one altered. She then asked where the person was that needed to be fitted for an alteration. I sheepishly pointed to myself and said, "That would be me." She was with two other associates who all acted very professionally, as if this happens all the time. She led me through a fitting area back to a dressing room where I could change into my gown. There were ladies waiting to be fitted and I felt them staring and wondering why I was there. I changed into my gown and also inserted breast forms to fill out the dress. I donned heels also. As I exited my room to join the queue, I just wanted to melt into the wall and not be noticed. The ladies reacted positively when they saw me in my gown. I was given compliments and was asked where I was going to wear the gown. I was glad that I actually had an occasion coming up that I was wearing the dress for. My turn came and the seamstress pinned the new hemline as if men come in all the time to have dresses altered. It was an embarrassing moment but I enjoyed it immensely.
On the day of the event, I went for my first manicure/pedicure which I already previously posted about. I then had a makeover done by Janna of Janna's Studio. She transformed me into a beautiful, much younger-looking, lovely lady. Janna also accompanied me to the dinner dance where we both had a wonderful time. The experience was made better with Janna putting me more at ease. I hope you enjoyed this post.
My name is Carol.
