Hi, I'm Courtney and very new to this website but I have been following for several months. You all inspired me to get up the courage to do something I had not had the courage to do before. Thank you. I had stepped out in my fem clothes before to pump gas, walk around a parking lot, and go through a drive-thru but I had never really "put myself out there" until I found this website and you girls gave me the courage to expand my comfort zone. So last weekend I got dressed in a conservative outfit with leggings, long sweater, and moderate 2" heeled booties. I went to the mall. I was very hesitant to leave my car but I decided to walk to the entrance of the mall. It was dark and the vestibule was dimly lit. I got the idea to just stand in the vestibule in the glass windows next to the door as if I was waiting for a ride to come and pick me up. It was exhilirating. It was as if I was a mannequin in the window. Many people entered the mall and I was able to see if they glanced at me, stared at me, or were indifferent. Most people were indifferent but the ones who glanced at me seemed to pay no attention. But the best part was that after people passed through the entrance I could see their reflection in the window. Even though I wasn't looking at them I could see their reaction after they passed me. I could see if they paid no second thoughts, looked back and stared, or giggled to their friends. I was relieved to note that nobody really even gave me a second glance. Even the people that definitely checked me out on the way in had no reactions after they passed. They just went about their shopping. This experience really lifted my spirits about crossdressing and blending. And all of your posts are definitely spot on. Once you take your first small steps in the water I want to go and experience more and more. This was all thanks to this website and all of your support.
Courtney
