Just as the thread title states, I took a step outside tonight. I let the dog out at 1:00 am before putting him in his kennel for the night. While I am wearing a dress, wig, and lipstick at that hour every night, I don't have shoes or sandals on. Should I walk anywhere in the house, they will make noise on our flooring which would likely awaken my wife who is a very light sleeper. And, since I generally wear nylons from after dinner until after breakfast, going outside on our concrete patio is most likely to put a run in one, or both, of the nylons. Tonight, after my wife went to bed, I removed my thigh highs so I could apply nail polish to my toes. I've had a soft pink color on them for 3 or 4 weeks and wanted to apply a brilliant red color. Naturally, I left the nylons off for quite a while for the polish to dry. Thus, with no nylons on there was no reason not to go out in the back yard with the dog. I turned the outside lights off and took a flashlight out with me. I was only in my backyard with very little light that would expose me to the neighbors. My neighbors all go to bed well before midnight; so, I wasn't concerned about any of them (7 houses with views of our back yard and patio) seeing me; but, if someone would have gotten up and looked outside, I didn't need to have our lights shining directly on me. I was outside for about 5 minutes as the cool air (58?F) felt divine going up my dress and offering me a real feel of nice that sensation is. I think women who wear pants rather than dresses and/or skirts are really missing out on a great experience. My wife is one of those women. She does wear a dress on occasion, but likely not more than 2 or 3 times a month. I may have to simply remove my nylons every night when I let the dog out. What a wonderful idea.
