I just wanted to share with you a few brief details of another successful en femme outing. It was the weekend and Marla and I decided that we’d go out for lunch. Both of us try to eat healthily so we decided on Fresh Choice. If you’re not familiar with the name, Fresh Choice is a buffet-style restaurant chain whose most prominent feature is a large salad bar with prepared salads, soups, pizza, breads, muffins, and afterwards, fruit desserts, puddings, and soft-serve ice cream.
When we walked into the restaurant it was fairly busy and there was a bit of a line at the salad bar. We filled our plates with a combination of pasta and different salads and then made our way to the register. The checker greeted us with “how are you today ladies?” We both said we were fine, but I didn‘t say anything else because I’m not confident with my femme voice yet. In any case, I was just grinning from ear to ear at being called a lady by a GG.Marla did all the talking and paid for both of us. We found a table and after we sat down our waiter came over and said “hello ladies, I’m Anatoly and if you need anything, just let me know”. Wow, I’d been called a lady twice in the space of three minutes, that’s never happened before!
Half way through our meal Marla said “let me get a picture of you”.
Then, before we finished eating Marla thought it might be fun to ask our friendly Russian waiter Anatoly to take a snap. I’m a friend from out of town…right? Hee hee. Anyway, as you can tell from the camera angle he was pretty tall.
We finished eating and Marla wanted to visit the powder room. Now normally I go with her, but this time she didn’t prompt me and I didn’t ask. It never even occurred to me that I would be alone surrounded by Moms, Dads, and kids having Sunday lunch. I’d never been in a situation like that before. Our waiter came back and asked me if we were done and could he take the plates and stuff away. I said in my best femme voice “yes thanks” then he asked me if I’d like a refill on my soda….OMG I was interacting with a guy who seemed not to notice anything “odd” about me at all...or if he did he didn't say anything. I said I was fine and that I didn’t need a refill and he still didn’t give me any “funny looks” !
Marla came back and I told her about my little chat with Anatoly, and that nothing bad happened. She was very happy about it and said that next time perhaps I should do the ordering and paying at the register. Ooh err!
for you! Looks like you had a good time. And nice pix as well.
