(This is a long post but I tried to make it concise and entertaining. I especially hope it is encouraging to those of you who have never been out en femme. This day was everything I dreamed it could be---and more! You don’t know what you are missing—you have to try it!)
I know I have to post some pics before you will totally believe this. The pics will be ready by end-of-week (I had a photo shoot and they are making a disc and sending it to me by mail). Here are the highlights:
- 2:30pm – 5:00pm: Had a professional TG make-over and photo-shoot done in Orlando
- Drove from Orlando to Tampa/Clearwater/St Petersburg Fl (wanted to go somewhere where no one knows me)
- 6:00pm: Stopped in Winter Haven for gas. Before getting gas, I pulled in a motel parking lot to touch up my make-up. A guy in his fifties came out of a room right by my car and proceeded to stare at me intently as he walked to his car. I felt sure he had made me so I drove away, but as I did, he gave me a huge smile and waved—i.e., he was actually checking me out!
- Went to the gas station, got gas, paid inside and bought a bottled water. No one really looked at me or acted like I was anything other than a typical female customer—interesting.
- 7:00pm: Arrived at my first destination, International Plaza Mall in Tampa. Great mall, on the same upscale model as the Millenia Mall here in Orlando. I parked by Neiman Marcus and walked in and a female SA approached me and said “Hello Ma’am, may I help you?” Needless to say I was startled. I walked out into the mall and no one was paying much attention to me. Some people stared right at me but I could tell that no one thought anything was strange about me. They were just seeing an attractive woman (I know I need the pics to prove it).
- I saw a Kiosk selling rings (I love rings). The female SA saw my watch and told me she loved it and wanted to know what kind it was (Kenneth Cole) My interaction with her was interesting because I used my feminine speaking voice that I have been practicing and, by her reaction, I realized my voice is 100% passable too. Also, I realized women treat you totally different when they think you are one of them—very cool.
- By this time I was brimming with confidence so I went into Dillards and used the Ladies restroom. People saw me walk in but no one acted like there was anything wrong. While I was in the stall, two women came in and one asked the other for a tampon. I got a kick out of hearing that!
- I walked into Nordstroms and saw a great pair of shoes. I walked up to a male SA and asked if they had them in size 10. He asked a female SA if she would “please help this lady” as he was busy. This interaction, as well as another one with a male SA in the Aldo shoe store, made me realize that men treat you differently when they think you are not one of them—really cool. The female SA brought out the shoes and I tried them on and they fit perfectly so I bought them. She asked me if I wanted to wear them now so I did, and for the rest of the night I wore them.
9:30pm: Drove to Georgie’s Alibi in St Petersburg to have dinner. This is a Gay bar. The food was really good but no t-girls, just gay men and two or three lesbians. The men totally and utterly ignored me so I took it as a sign that I was passing there as well.
11:00pm: Drove to my final destination, Z109 in Clearwater. This was the highlight of the day. t-girl central. About 60% of the customers were t-girls and may of them looked absolutely great! I had my picture taken about five times in there, supposedly to be posted on their web site. They had a lot of drag performers and it was very entertaining. In between performances, there was dancing.
-I met a GG in this club who was pretty drunk and was very curious about me. She was trying to determine if I was a t-girl or a GG. She asked me if I was gay, to which I replied, “I don’t know” She got a kick out of this response (as did I). She then reached out and squeezed my breasts! I was wearing an A-cup bra and I actually somewhat fill it out (I have a big chest from working out—I also tend to store body fat there). She looked frustrated like she still couldn’t tell so she said “Is that your real hair” and reached up and moved my bangs aside. She was then satisifed that I was not a GG since I was wearing a wig. She also told me that I smelled really good and wanted to know what kind of perfume I was wearing (Coco Mademoiselle Channel).
- I did some things in this club that could possibly get me banned from the forum, but I would love to share them via PM if anyone wants the juicy details (and they are very juicy!).
1:30am: Drove back to Orlando. I was stopped at a stop light and a female street person asked me for some spare change. I always give when directly asked so I gave her a dollar. She smiled and said “Thank you very much Ma’am.” This was the icing on the cake. I was glowing the entire drive home. I realized that I am 100% passable as a woman.
Thanks for reading. I had to get this down in writing while still fresh in my mind.
