Two weeks ago I took the supreme challenge. I put on makeup and dressed and went out to, well things weren't like they are here. I was out.
I had the blessings and companionship of two very dear friends as we went into a mall. I got a complete makeover at Sephora and that was so amazing. I felt so pretty.
Yeah a couple of losers (ahem men) laughed at me. You know what? I felt so proud to be out, so proud to be with loving friends and so proud to be able to walk tall and hold my head up. I walked right by them and they shut up. They never expected that and I gave them the 'I belong here as much as you do' in spades.
That night we went out a bunch of us. We got a couple of looks, but our waiter was awesome and even took snaps of us together. That was great.
We went to a club the next night. It was nice to get out in 'real life' but it was a crappy club. My GG friend got loaded and we took her back to the hotel (I was not unhappy with that, it was smoky, and the dude who hit on me said I had a pointy nose, to which I nearly drove a spiked heel into his you-know-what LOL)
Saturday afternoon we went out to the mall again and went to Lush and Claire's. At Lush I got some great ideas for creams, etc. and we spent some time educating the sales staff there on TG issues. The manager/lead girl was gorgeous and she understood our plight since her little brother had a form of mental retardation and she would yell at people who would laugh at him. How sad that society stoops that low, but thank goodness for people like her that stand up and do what is right.
Still it was great - then Saturday we went to a formal dinner and I even got pro photos taken. It was so nice to sip wine and chat with so many lovely sisters. I felt like we were one huge family. We are.
Coming home was sad and I was more sad that my two friends had to part ways with me and we all made it home OK. I will never forget that experience. I will never forget how proud I was to be out and about.
Look out world, Samantha is on the prowl!! :D
