Mall Walk

[Sherlyn]

...may not seem a biggie ..but tonight as i was out drivin ...dressed of course(is there any other way )... i went over too the big mall here ....my grrrly nerves lately have been quite nervy ..lol sooooooz i park me car ...noticed not too many cars left in parkin lot ...then just like it was !!natural!! and it seemed so.... i get outta my car ...straighten my jean skirt ...hand bag over the shoulder ...and wiggle my little butt right in the mall :D ...most stores are closin up ..but window shoppin is cool ,,,seen a nice tulip skirt with awesome shoes in 1 store front ...as i walked along i thought dam my heels seem loud ...but eh guess thats the way it works ...never really had ta be close with ppl ..if a few would come along id stop and look in store windows ... the few that did give me a glance just smiled.(and you always wonder what the smile is for huh !!)..this was the funny part ..as i walk around by the bank theres this huge mirror!!!! I look at myself..and ...at first ...with the mall lighting i had ta take a long look ..i did not recogonize myself at first ..i thought WOW im not too bad ..hehe (how vain !! of me lol))
all in all it was about a 20 min experience that for me was a great confidence booster ...just thought i'd tell you all.... no biggie tho NOT !!!!

[WandaJones]

WELL DONE girl!!. So now you've 'broken the ice' and hopefully this will open up a whole new world. (We've been telling you for ages that you 'don't look bad' now will you believe us?!) :cool:

[Rachel_740]

Well done Sheryln. A great experience for you and a real confidence booster. When you going again to buy yourself the skirt and shoes girl?

As for looking at yourself in the mirror - I do that all the time - mirrors, shop windows, anything reflective. I do it to see how I'm walking, what I look like etc.

[Stephenie]

Sounds like fun. Remember at a bank the mirror might have a camera behind it :eek: . Bet the security guys enjoyed the show. You probably looked gorgess!

[Deidra Cowen]

Congratulations! That was a huge step. I got a feeling you are going to be 'out and about' all the time very soon. Lord knows you got the looks to go out and pass in public. ;)

[Donna]

[cindybarnes]

Sherlyn thats AWSOME !!!
Sorry Im just now seeing your post about it,, shoot after doing the mall that club you want to try will be nothing to worry about now !
I know about the heels seeming loud too, I thought the same thing when I went to Kohls.
About the smiles you got ,,,,,, they were thinking another cutie out shopping :)
Congrats !!!
Cindy

[JocelynG]

AWESOME! I love catching a glimpse of myself in a mirror or window while out

I love doing that too :) That was a wonderful outing story Sherlyn. Doesn't it feel good just getting out. In fact I just went to the post office to drop something in the mail. Nothing like a public place to get the adrenaline pumping. Thanks for sharing sis

[Sherlyn]

I just want too add.. as I chat with Cindy ....when i transform i truly do not reflect much of my male identity ... A good booster on goin out is... (which never crossed my mind til last night) ...so what if im read ....my identity isnt!!!! ..and if its a safe place who cares.. go about your business
Thanx Cindy:)
Thanx Joyce:)

[Jodi]

Nice job Sherlyn. I think most of us broke the ice in a similar way. Always remember that women will smile at other women as a natural greeting. Always return with a big warm smile. Noone will question you.

[LindaMarie]

Sherlyn,

What a nice story. It is so fun to be out and about. Congratulations.

Linda

[Tristen Cox]

Sorry I'm late all I can say is Way kewl babe :thumbsup:

[Laurie Ann]

Ya what Tristen said.

[racquel]

Excellent trip,sounds like you had fun.It seems to go better when it is a spur of the moment decision I think.I believe it does not allow us to imagine all the negative scenarios, to overwhelm us and cause us to loose our feminine demeanor. +?

[Lisa Maren]

More congrats to you, Sherlyn!

Maybe when I get myself a wig and some makeup I'll let Lisa out to play. That sounds like great fun!

Hugs,
Lisa

[Kaitlyn Michele]

Sher--

your pic is beautiful!! i loved your story... ibet everybody saw the same girl you did..
i'm a "big" girl..about 6'2 190ish.....my thing lately is to go to the mall about 945-10 ..

it closes at 930... and plzzzz im soooo careful, so dont worry!! hehe...anyway...i park about 10 spots out from door, usually there are some workers straggling or clean up people..doors are open till about 1030-11.. and in i go!!!!!! sometimes i get nervous and dont go in, usually i do... the click clack heels thing is very cool to me. i so just my support and well wishes and hopefully next time i'm out i'll see you there!!

[paulacd]

Good one Sherlyn :thumbsup:

Hope it gets easier for you and can now enjoy many more trips like this.

It's gives us all a bit more confidence hearing stories like yours :D

Paula.

[Olivia]

That sounds like a great trip out Sherlyn. No doubt you thought your reflection in the mirroe looked good(not vanity at all); you DO look good girl! In every pic you've posted! Damn, if I thought I looked half as good as you do, I'd be out all the time. I mean it Sherlyn; you should feel very confident. Not all of us can pull it off as you can. You go girl! O

[Fiona K]

Well done brave girl!!
One day I'll get the guts to do the same

[Marla GG]

Wow Sherlyn, you did it! Sounds like you had a great experience. I bet you're already planning your next one.

It's okay about the pics.....we all know what a mall looks like, and we know what you look like (d'ya think?), so we can just use our imaginations. :D

[DanaJ]

Sherlyn way to go girl! You are way brave, but of course you are a beauty aren't ya? :thumbsup:
