PDA

View Full Version : Mistaken Identity

Well Ladies, it has taken a while, with a few long absences thrown in, to reach the magic 100th post. Thought I would save it for something special.

The other night I was feeling adventurous and decided to dress up and go to a local casino, located about 30 miles away. I wanted to blend, so wore some tight blue jeans (they fit me better a few years ago, and I hope they fit with more room again soon) over the appropriate thigh and butt pads to give me a more female form, and various waist cinching and bust enhancing items from Lauren's closet. Tucked the "naughty nipples" into my bra, and with just enough lingerie and perky headlights showing thru my blouse, slipped on my size 24W coat and drove up the Interstate.

Yes, I like to have a little nipple available to distract anyone from the rest of me while out. I would rather folks be distracted by a glimpse of what may be just below my bra than focusing on my nearly 6'2" frame. Distraction and misdirection are a girls best friends, along with confidence and a great pair of heels! Flats, tonight. I'll save those heels for another time when I can slip into my favorite skirt.

When I got to the casino, I spent a couple of minutes in the parking lot brushing my hair and touching up my lipstick (love the taste and feel of lipstick!) and makeup, then walked right thru the front door. It was about 11:30pm, and there were lots of people playing slots, eating at the restaurants, and playing the table games. If anyone noticed me, it didn't pay any attention to it. I figured I belonged there, and if that was how I acted, then it was less likely that I would bring attention to myself. Slipped $10 (big spender) into the machine which dispenses vouchers for the slots, walked around a little, played a few machines, and finally ran out of money. I had been there about 20 minutes, and as it was late and I still had to drive home and get ready for work the next day, I casually walked back out the front door. Had a little sway to my walk, and smiled to myself as I headed to the my car. A great night!

Got home and parked in front of the house, and decided to walk around the block instead of going inside. Probably not a good choice as it was late, and what real woman would be walking around in a residential neighborhood after 1:00am? I was feeling good, and ignoring my better instinct (woman's intuition?), walked down the block and turned at the first corner. That is when it got interesting.

I was about half way down the block when a car approached me from behind. Every other time this had happened, the car kept going. This time, the car stopped!! Right next to me!!. The passenger window of the minivan rolled down, and although it was fairly dark, I could see an attractive woman sitting behind the wheel. What a relief! She said, "Don't worry, this isn't anything weird, I'm a girl, too." She had stopped to see if I needed help. Woman to woman, extending a helping hand. I knew the minute I said anything, my birth gender would be known. I gently took one step toward the car, tipped my head a little, and quietly said "Well, unfortunatley, I'm not". She look surprised, but not horrified, so I added, "I was just out for a walk in the night air." We nodded in acknowledgement of the mutually uncomfortable moment, and then she said "Ok", and drove off, turning left at the next corner.

It was an amazing blend. Delight and sadness. To have been mistaken for a women, to have a woman extend herself to me as a woman, only to have to admit I was only dressed that way.

I wonder if she is looking around the neighborhood now, wondering who it was she met that night. Well, it was Lauren, and I'm looking for the minivan. Maybe we'll meet on the street during the day some time, and maybe I'll be the only one who knows for sure that we have already met.

Have fun out there, or wherever it is that you are comfortable being yourself, and fully be whichever piece of your blend which happens to be at the front of the line at the time. I can twist wrenches under a car, work over a spreadsheet until it sings, or preen in front of the mirror, working on the perfect lip line. It's all good. Take care, ladies.

Gee Lauren, the walk sounds more fulfilling than the casion outing... and you have something to look forward to; another "chance meeting" with the minivan driver. Lucky girl!

Wow! what an amazing story! I can't imagine what I would do if that happened to me. I hope I would be the same as you.

Best wishes

Lauren,

Very interesting chronicle of your en femme experience! I really enjoyed reading it and also could picture it as you describe it!

I hope you cross paths with a woman who accepts you as you are and allows you to express your femme self!

You know, Lauren, you really did have an interesting 100th post. I am of the opinion that while it was a good mix of sadness and gladness for you, it was a pure delight for us. As is often the case, it isn't what happens in a story that makes it interesting, it's the way it is told. Excellent work, dear.

Hi Lauren,
Girl, congrats on your 100th post! You are thoughtful to think of us on your 100th! Thanks for sharing with us. I know about the absences. Great contribution and post. Do share more.
Why do womens jeans feel so good? How about that little tug you have to do to get the jeans over your "hips" (and pads). Such a fem feel, tugging the jeans over the hips. Jeans and womens shoes! What a fem feel!
A coat is a must. Provides so many options . Closed (protection) if needed. Open if confident and full disclosure is right. I concur, if breasts/nipples can add credit to my efem look -I am for it.
Isnt there a thrill mixing comfortably with others efem! What a fantastic feeling. Undescribable the feeling of being recognized as a woman.
There is usually a mix of ephoria and sadness when the clock strikes 11:59 and I have to walk back to the car and the end of a quick and enjoyable night. I want it to continue. (why not - it took so long to get made up, I ought to enjoy it!!!!).
What a thrill to be recognized as a woman. And saddened not to be!
Thanks Lauren Richards. Keep up the posts. :) Love to read them.
Love,
Stephanie.

Lovely story. I enjoy reading stories that have a nice ending like that. Sounds like you enjoyed it too. Wonder what that lady was thinking when she drove away. :eek: Take care gurl and enjoy the moment.

Lauren, thanks for sharing your story with us. It sounds like a delightful experience for you. I can really relate to your comments about a mixture of delight and sadness. I think that's true for many of us girls here. We are delighted whenever we can pull off the illusion; then, sometimes, we are saddened by the fact that it is an illusion. Keep us informed about your next outing. It seems like you're having a ball! Olivia

Oh, and yes, CONGRATS on your posting milestone!!! O

Thanks for the support and friendly encouragement, girls. It really is nice to know you are out there. Like the echo of your own voice, very comforting, too.

Yes, the walk was quite fulfilling, yet, leaves me wanting more. Being alone and out in public at places like a casino or supermarket is exciting and something I very much enjoy, yet, to have a conversation with someone while en femme is another world entirely. I have had a few occasions where I have spoken with others en femme, like the time I was getting tickets for a movie. However, this was one of the first times the conversation was initiated by the other person. One-on-one, just the two of us having a brief conversation. I am certain this is one experience I will remember, and treasure, a very long time.

I've been thinking about it, and I am glad I was able to tell her the truth. It was late, and even if I had a better female voice and were less tall, it would have been uncomfortable to not be honest. This was much different from when someone thinks I am a woman while at the gas station (I hope!), or wonders a bit if I am a tall woman or really a man who likes wearing women's clothes while playing the slots. Illusion and mystery are a very real part of what we do. I like it, as much as the feel of women's clothes on my skin and my reflection in the mirror. I'm ok if someone knows, in the proper setting. It was right that she knew. Now the mystery for me is to figure out which of my neighbors was driving the minivan. I have an idea..
