Tell me what you all think....
Since we read on these threads and posts on how so many of us (and I inlcude me in the "us" here...) seem to be having problems getting the nerve up to go out "enfemmed" this is what I got to thinking about to make it easier to be able to "break the ice and fly" so to speak.....
What if we use this "concept".....we're doing a Doctor's degree program and I'm writing a paper on the "dynamics of being a woman from the eyes of a male"....or I'm doing a paper on how people respond to suspected cross dresses when they aren't sure.... or anything of a similar nature of topic....
Now why am I doing this????? follow me on this "idea"!!!!
Let's say you want to go to a make up counter like MAC to get a make over...but you can't bring yourself to do this....but could you find it easier to do if you went up to the counter and when the SA asked you if she could help you and you replied "Yes, I need to see about getting a makeover to see how female looking I can be". Now of course this may raise her eyebrow just a tad and not a fall dwon she's so shocked because your probably not the first guy to ask her...but it will probably put you a whole lot more at ease in asking her. Then when you add the reason why because you need to dress female because your doing a research paper for your Doctoral Degree Thesis this is going to open and whole bunch of oh really....followed by a lot of questions from her about what your planning on doing na dhow your going to do it....which in turn will get you a boatload of tips on how to pull off being a female....and then you tell her that you'll be doing this over say a 6-9 month period and you'll need to come back several other occassions to get made up unless you can learn the skill level of applying the paint....so you'll either find a friend or have someone very eagar to help you....because she likes your ideas or because you'll be a repeat customer...
Then you take this same approach in each of the areas that you need to go into here....shoes....clothing....wigs....pedicure/manicure....it will all work pretty much if not exactly the same.....and I'm willing to bet that this will work like a charme at getting SA's to help you way beyind the norm as they ould with just any customer....they'll bend over backwards to help you because your interested in studying a gender issue involving their gender....
So what else will this do for you???? It will make you feel far more relaxed and accepted and thus this will help you ease into the community in general and help you feel normal when your out as a woman.....for the acceptance part as well as the "legitimate" justification for dressing up as a female.....
I could go into more detail here but I think you see where I'm going with this....
One thing though you'll need to pull this off well is to be able to have an outgoing persona and the ability to gift to gab so to say....if you can you'll pull it off like a pro.....
So what do you all think about this idea?????
