I was the hostess for a skin-care/makeup party today!
A long-time friend of mine is a consultant (salesperson) for one of the major companies that sells beauty products through home demonstrations (MK).
I invited three of my GG friends and she conducted a skin-care class/demonstration for us. We had a great time!
While each of these women has seen me in one form of “high androgeny” or another, none of them “officially” know me en femme, although I have no doubt that all of them have strong suspicions.
As a result, I did not technically hostess en femme, having left my bra and forms home, but I was wearing light makeup, a pink v-neck t-shirt over long misses’ jeans, 3” chunky heels, a very cute, very feminine watch and bracelets, and earrings.
Our consultant is the one who has never really seen me in feminine wear other than as costume, but she quietly complimented my heels, and, later, publicly admired my bracelets. Of course, I responded en femme by immediately telling her where I had gotten them.
She took the four of us through her complete skincare regimen, cleansers to tinted moisturizers, providing some really good tips and techniques as well as a comprehensive description of each of the products.
I had prepared a snack of carrot and celery sticks with fat-free Greek yogurt and onion dip, as well as a light luncheon of salad (spring greens with fresh mandarin orange slices and dried cranberries), tea sandwiches (fresh baked star-shaped bread spread with tuna salad and fresh baked heart shaped bread spread with sugar-free apricot jam and my homemade pecan-blue cheese spread), my signature fat-free brownies and some not-so-fat-free lemon bars (all pretty much fat-free/low-fat “girly food”).
We spent about two hours together, enjoying the class, our lunch, and lots of “girl talk.”
What a fun event!
