It's a long time since I posted anything. In the meantime, I have emigrated to England and I must say my life as Maryanne has take a big upsurge, since being here.
First of all, I have been out and about (dressed) a great deal, lost count in fact. I have frequently caught the underground to Wimbledon to shop, and a few times to Kingston on Thames (on the overground) as well, Generally, I have passed fine (even had tea a few times in the Department store restaurant, without a blink of a eye lid. In honesty, I have had one or two looks, but very infrequent, and nothing to worry about. I have learned to go about my way with confidence, and i think that helps a lot. I have been to a beauty salon and had some waxing done. I have now grown my nails longer and have them shaped a bit, also my eyebrows are shaped now, and I have had no comments when in male attire (ie at work). In general I think we worry too much about what others notice and think. I am in an all woman office, and they either haven't noticed, and/or don't care.
I have also rediscovered the joys of wearing heels. I had stopped for a long time. Now, I am so used to them, I am out shopping etc for up to 4 Hours at a time wearing heels. ) oh yes, while i remember, I also had my make up redone at the beauty counter (Mac) at a department store in Kingston.
I have also discovered the fantastic bargains you can get at charity shops here. They sell some really quality clothes. I have bought skirts, a beautiful evening dress, and even a gorgeous nightie. Some of the clothes are brand new at a fraction of the price. You have to keep going to them to pick up the good quality stuff.
I guess I should have kept this shorter, hope it does not bore you
love,
Maryanne
