A funny thing happend yesterday

[Michelle James]

I went to the Dunes TG weekend last thursday through Sunday and i have been dressed ever since. I had my nails done with CND Shellac last monday and since removal is not a simple thing i decided to keep them. So yesterday I did the grocery shopping and some other errands enfemme since the nails are done. LOL I picked up everything we needed or so I thought. i returned home about 5pm and immediately removed my wig and bra because it was time to wash them. So my wig is soaking in 1 sink and my bra is in another when I realized I forgot to pick up some buns for the hamburgers we were going to have. Since I had already removed my makeup and did't feel like redoing it just to run to the store I decided to just go in drab. But what to do about the nails? I know i'll just put on some gloves. On the way out the door I grabbed the only pair I could find. A pair of bright orange work gloves. i know, right. So I get to the store and proudly wear my gloves in, after all Tutti Frutti nails in boy mode just doesn't work. As I was walking toward the bread isle I was stopped by a stock boy who felt he needed to ask "what's with the gloves"? i couldn't get mad as I most likely would have asked the same question. Since I was caught literally "red" handed I just said "my nails are painted pink and I don't want anyone to see", and removed one glove. Well the young man turned 13 shades of red before turning and hurrying off. I just stood there and laughed my a$$ of. A lady who overheard said "you know you might want to rethink the orange gloves" So I removed them and said "what the hell". We both had a good laugh and I got on with my purchase. No one els seemed to notice or care.

the moral to this story is Pink nails good orange gloves bad. LOl

Pink nails good. Orange gloves bad (writing furiously) . . . Got it!

Thanks for the important safety tip, Michelle!

One of the things I love about this place- such great fashion tips.

That is exactly what I was thinking. The orange gloves are going to get attention. Most people wouldn't even notice the nails painted.

I happen to agree. I used to paint my nails in guy mode, and most people did not notice the nail polish. I painted them black, dark grey, dark blue, or copper until I decided that it was too high maintenance to keep them looking nice - I would have to touch them up all the time.

Now orange gloves - that will certainly draw attention!

I wear long acrylic French nails in guy mode, the tips of which currently decorated in silver. People hardly notice. But when they do I tell them everything, and we normally have a great laugh. So the moral I suppose is only wear gloves when dressing en-femme.

I have Pink Acrylic fingernails everyday! They are also a little longer than normal mens and rounded in the feminine shape. I have had compliments on them, but no other comments!!

The first time I ever got my nails done I hated to remove them as well and went around doing errands in gloves. It was Novemeber but still warm here and no one said anything to me, but I did get some looks when I was in a sub shop ordering and paying with gloves on. Oh, and the only gloves I could find were thick insulated ones.

So how about doing a study on Blue nails? I have heard that color is all the rage. :D
