Neighborhood stakeout :)

[TxKimberly]

So last night night I had a late flight from Allentown PA to Austin (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101829)where I live. Since I was going to be home well after my daughter goes to bed, and I live in a quiet neighborhood where everyone is usually buttoned up and in the house by 9 (es even on Fridays), I figured what the heck, and flew home femme.
As I pull up to my street I had the sense to look down it before I turned on to it, sure enough, the visiting mother of my neighbor across the street was walking out to her car in a nightgown. I figured "no big deal" and just slowly drove around the block, returning maybe two minutes later. I peeked down the street again and this time my neighbor AND his mother are walking out to the car. I drove around the block a bit slower and returned just in time to see them drive off, and so I pulled onto my street. Just as I'm backing into my drive way I realized I've made a serious mistake - I was concentrating so much on the folks across the street that I failed to notice that my neighbor on the right side of my house had a BBQ going in his driveway. I had backed all the way into my drive way and had not even noticed this. Lucky for me there was no one standing outside at the moment (it's 10PM). I sat in the truck with the engine and lights off for a moment, checking to see if the coast was clear, when my neighbor walks out of his garage and stands there drinking a beer. He was in the lighted garage, I was in a dark truck with tinted windows, so I doubt very much he could see anything. I waited for about a minute, hoping he would turn around and go back into his garage, but he showed no signs of leaving. I chickened out, started the truck, and pulled out of my drive. I drove a mile or two away on some farm roads, found a quiet place, and changed back into male clothes. I couldn't do anything about the makeup, but in the dark and from that distance, I figured he wouldn't be able to see that in the time it would take me to get from the truck into the house. I had to giggle while I changed in the dark, on a country road, because this took me back about 20 years to when this had been my only option!
So once again I pull up to my drive way, this time in male clothes but still wearing makeup. Now my neighbor across the street has returned but is apparently in the house, the beer drinking, BBQ neighbor is not in his driveway, but now the neighbor on my LEFT side is sitting in his car!
The very first time I'd risked coming home femme, and it seems the entire damn neighborhood is on a stake out looking to catch me!
I figured it wasn't gonna get any better than that, and so I quickly got out of the truck and made a bee-line for the house. My wife got one look at me in rumpled boy clothes and makeup, and busted out laughing. She laughed harder and harder the more of the story I told to her.

[sharynPA]

Great story, Kim!! I would have had 60 pints of water coming out of every pore. You're very brave. :daydreaming:

[Di]

Too funny:hugs: I could pic every minute:hugs:

["Mary"]

Brave, yes. Good sense of humor, well composed, and ability to think on their feet- definitely.

[Patty]

What a story Kim, love to read about your adventures.

[cindyscute]

Maybe you should have just went for it, if anyone said anything you could have said that you were your twin sister :heehee:

[Jenny Beth]

Too funny....:lol2:....have you considered building a garage to sneak home into? :heehee:

[TxKimberly]

Maybe you should have just went for it, if anyone said anything you could have said that you were your twin sister :heehee:

Nah! If I were single, I couldn't care less who knew what about me, but I don't want my wife and children paying a price for me.



Too funny....:lol2:....have you considered building a garage to sneak home into? :heehee:

Got one! The only catch is that it's full of a 1967 Mustang! (My dream car)

[Jacquilynne]

:lol:

Kimberly,

What another great story, like has been said reading of your adventures definitely puts a smile on my face :) Well told and we feel as If we are really there, hearts pounding beside you.

Thanks for sharing indeed!!

*hugs*

Pretty cool Kim, I've been there myself. My wife hates it when I venture out or in while dressed, she would be very upset if the neighbors saw me. I don't understand why it would affect her at all but she says she would have to move right away. Since i like my house and it's paid for I don't really want to have to move so I am careful, most of the time.

[cindyscute]

Nah! If I were single, I couldn't care less who knew what about me, but I don't want my wife and children paying a price for me.



Ya that's true, the funny part is you go everywhere girl mode and you can't even walk from your vehicle to your house :sad:, I guess karma just wasn't cooperating, maybe you should try again at 2 am sometime. Why can't the world just let it go :sad:

[TxKimberly]

Ya that's true, the funny part is you go everywhere girl mode and you can't even walk from your vehicle to your house :sad. . .

The irony of that was not lost on me either. The difference is that I have nothing to loose if a stranger a thousand miles away sees me or realizes I'm a male but my wife and children are at a very real risk to their happiness should my neighbors see me. :-(

[Claire Cook]

Kim,

I'm still giggling! Wonderful story. Was your antiperspirant working???

I had a similar thing happen a couple of years ago -- had gone out with a sister for lunch, and when I came back in the late afternoon I'd shed the wig, boobs and most makeup, but still had femme top and slacks on. My neighbor stopped me in the driveway and said he had a problem with one of his trees. So I said ... (gulp) ok, let me get some work clothes on ... if he had a problem he didn't let on.

I finally decided to at least tell the neighbors across the street that I dress. They've seen me come and go a couple of times. If that's been a problem, they've been cool enough not to let on.

[JoAnne Wheeler]

Great story - great Spouse - lucky ending - but you know, you are so

beautiful when dressed, you would fool your neighbors - however that truck

might be a dead giveaway UNLESS you could crossdress it up to look like a

car. Great story.

[TGMarla]

Ain't neighbors a pain in the rear? Who barbeques at ten at night in their front driveway? I can understand the beer, but come on! It's a good thing your wife is cool with it all. And incidently, I always feel the exact same way whenever I'm leaving and coming home while en femme.

[Bethany38]

Kim you're killing me with a case of the giggles right now.:laughing:

[tamarav]

Kimberly,

Where do you hide that giant set of brass ones?

[MJ]

Too funny sis someone will make a movie out of this :heehee:

[SherriePall]

Kim -- I think the solution to have this not happen again is for the neighborhood to enact a curfew of, say, 8 p.m.

[Kate Simmons]

It's the curse of the Lehigh Valley Kim.:heehee:

[Intertwined]

The difference is that I have nothing to loose if a stranger a thousand miles away sees me or realizes I'm a male but my wife and children are at a very real risk to their happiness should my neighbors see me. :-(

Thats the sad part, we live in America, home of the free, and we are afraid of our neighbors.

WOW...! kinda curious how that went?


Ain't neighbors a pain in the rear? Who barbeques at ten at night in their front driveway? .

I have neighbors on one side that have 2 teen daughters, lastnight there were kids in the back yard, around the fire pit till 3 in the morning partying.


Kimberly,

Where do you hide that giant set of brass ones?

:lol: these are the ones my wife had me put on my truck.

[diane51]

Kim you sure are the American traveler, Allentown to Tx. No BBQs in Pa as it is way too cold. Weren't you just in Denver a week or so ago or am I thinking of someone else?

[Sally24]

Since I was going to be home well after my daughter goes to bed.

My wife got one look at me in rumpled boy clothes and makeup, and busted out laughing. She laughed harder and harder the more of the story I told to her.

Reminds me of when I had to sneak out of the house so my daughter wouldn't see. She got weirded out when she spotted "tracks" in the snow.

They came out of the backyard and went into the garage, but there were no tracks leaving.:eek: I'm glad I don't have to sneak in and out like that anymore, just too much stress for me!

[Shelly Preston]

Glad to hear you can both see the funny side of it now

I bet it was agony at the time :(

[Mary Morgan]

Once again, the unexpected rears it's ugly head, and yes Virginia, there is a Murphy's Law. At least your wife was amused, and now that it is behind you, you can be too.

[beenherelongtime]

this seems to happen a lot to us, it seems that nothing ever goes right when we're dressed, you are lucky you have an understanding wife with i might add a sense of humor.

[JaytoJillian]

That would be a great couple of scenes from a movie. Reminds me of the dilemma I faced that time I left my boy clothes at a hotel party and didn't realize it till I was at my "changing spot"

[Alice Torn]

A country farm road. Oh, how I wish there was such around here! Take me home country roads! I grew up in rural Illinois, and how i miss farm roads. Your dilemna with all the neighbors, is just one more example, of what I call, "Boundry bumping- the new American pastime," in what has become an America, with overcrowded cities, and suburbs. Boundry bumping!

[Ralph]

That was hilarious!

I've had a couple of close calls when I went to check the mail. We live in a rural area where the mailboxes are in a cluster on the main road several miles from the house, and sometimes I go get the mail without changing - there is hardly ever any traffic on our road or the main road, and I don't get out of my car. But a couple of times I have gone up to the mailbox with my blue gown on and there were ranchers standing by the mailboxes - one guy was putting up signs for a garage sale or whatever they do in the hill country; another time a guy was going through every piece of mail in the world while standing by his truck (which also blocked me from just pulling up alongside our box to reach out and get mine). Remember, I don't shave or wear wigs, so from the neck up there is no mistake who I am. Each time I chickened out and drove a few miles around the neighborhood so I could come back when nobody was there - even though all they would see through the car window my be the velvet turtleneck and sleeve as I reach out to the mailbox.

[justmetoo]

Great story (maybe not such a great experience at the time! but the best stories are often like that, better in the telling than in the doing...)! Gave me a good laugh and sounds like it did the same for your wife :D

[Intertwined]

Mary Morgan :lol: you mention Murphy's Law, around here we call it Marsha's law: "Any thing that can go wrong, already has, and I just stepped into it" seriously, that has been a catch phrase for me for years.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Cant you just see it now desperate crossdressers
staring Kimberly and Kerren.

[KandisTX]

If you were my neighbor Kimberly, I'd probably ask you where you shopped. ;)

Kandis:love::rose2:

[Dawn Marie]

Kim, that is just so funny and typical of a Texas neighbor. I almost wet my skirt reading it. My problem at my house is that I like to go outside in the backyard dressed and I'm surronded by two story houses. I know the teenage girl next door has seen me dressed, but not sure about the others, but do I care? NO!!

[bimini1]

I just don't know. I want to laugh but my real feelings when I read this were sad. There is just something wrong when a grown man can't get out of his truck in his own yard. Something pitiful and pathetic about it. I feel the same way when I am dressed and have to peep out of windows to make sure no one's coming to the door.
Makes me feel like I am doing something dirty or immoral. Can anyone shed light as to how I can shed these feelings?
I am to my wit's end over dressing and have not done so in weeks because of it.

[Tina B.]

Oh, I need a tissue, that's just to funny, I hope your wife didn't wake up your daughter with all that laughing, for some reason, the rumpled clothes, nervous sweat, make up makes me think of the Joker of batman fame! LOL

Kim

That is a wild night Kim, I cannot imagine hot high your blood pressure was.
You pics are so great and fem. You must have a lot of confidence. You look great.

:hugs:

[Jeannie]

Thus the reason Jeannie has not been on a dress and drive yet. It would be my luck the second I pulled out of the driveway, every neighbor on the street would have a reason to standing in their front yard. LOL. What an incredible night that must have been for you, oh yea I am starting a script on this story want to play yourself or do you have someone else in mind. Just kidding. By the way for those that don't live in the south. There is no rhyme or reason for having a BBQ in your drive way at any time of the day or night except I got this meat and I got this grill and I got this beer, Mars and Venus have aligned.

Jeannie

[Brina Halloween]

Every time I see this, I think about neighborhood watch groups and my grandmother's neighbor that added a bay window to better watch the neighbors. Nowadays, everyone probably just review the security camera recordings and wonder who the secretive lady is at your house. :lol:

[MarieTS]

Kim--what a frightening adventure! How did you fly enfemme without airline hassles. Please share. Oh, and I think we can all recall a neighbor adventures and having to change elsewhere. Oh, may I suggest you start carrying make-up removal pads in you purse? :heehee:

[Tracii G]

Great story Kimberly I can just picture you fighting all the clothes geting changed too funny.

[Karen564]

Well Kim, I have to say You gave me a very good laugh, but I only laughed because I've been there, that was always my luck, as I'm reading your story, I was sitting rite beside you the whole way, and I loved it..

This happened to me many years ago when my new GF & I lived in an large apartment complex, I came back late to discover everyone is enjoying the night time air or something in my area, so I drive off and come back later, and there's even more people outside, and now I don't have a choice, I have to go into my apartment to change because I had no other clothes with me to change into, so now I'm starting to sweat.
So all I'm wearing is this tight little slinky black dress, that barely covered my panties, lace top thigh highs and some 4" silver glittery pumps, OH, you got it, I looked more like a hooker I think, what can I say, I was young, LOL, and my girlfriend is coming home from work any minute now, so with my heart pounding out of my chest and sweating pouring out of me as I pull into the parking lot, find a spot to park, get out, walk towards the apartment, the clicking of my heels was deafening in the night air, and I could feel many eyes looking at me, then up the stairs, and finally get in the door, and now I got hurry to get all the makeup off, I just thought I was going to die that night..and Oh , she called shortly after I'm all done to say shes running late..... Time for a stiff drink.. Ugg

Sure glad I don't need to go thru that anymore..


But I enjoy your adventures over mine any day...You do write them so well..

Hugs,
Karen

[Danielle Hyatt]

Great story Kim and very funny!!!!!

HAVE A NICE DAY:D
DAN

[jazmine]

LOL.....I hate when that happens!

[LindaMarie]

Great story, Kim.

I admire your wife for seeing the humor in the whole thing. Many wives would have had a different reaction. She does sound very special.

[Stephanie Stephens]

Kim; That is one busy neighborhood for 10:pm. Great story, thanks.

I think it was a steak-out.

[MsJanessa]

I've never had that experience---I have electric garage door openers so I can just drive in the garage and close the door before anybody sees Me but once I was going back to a hotel and left My key in the room---I was wearing a tight black leather mini-dress with thigh high stilletto heeled boots and shoulder length black leather gloves(fetish night at the local gay bar) with blonde wig in an updo and very heavy makeup---I just strutted My way to the front desk and asked for a spare key which I got with a polite smile.
