Sometimes when I'm out I focus on taking pictures and when I look back I'm glad I did. You can't enjoy yourself as much when you take on that picture taking attitude but you will always enjoy the pictures afterwards. It's kind of a trade off. Well, last night I had my camera in the car figuring if the moment called for it I would go get it. I know me. Once that camera comes out I'm a total shutterbug!
I stopped at Escapades first to meet Laura. I told her I had made plans to meet Miko at Inn Exile but that I'd be back shortly. So I went to Exile. No Miko. I called him and gave him some crap (in a fun way) but there was a lot of friends there who wouldn't let me go. One guy, Richard, is nuts over Jacki and me. Maybe because we spoiled him like this:

So he keeps saying he's not letting me go then asks about pictures. I told him I had my camera in the car and I'd be right back. This was like asking an addict if she'd like a hit. I knew this would set the stage for the rest of the night. So I come back and we get a guy at the bar to take a picture. When he's done I went to show him what it looked like in the viewfinder and when I do I see "No CF Card". :doh: I forgot to put in the flash card! Normally I carry a spare but it was in another purse. So I told him I'd go home to get it.
On the way I see a homecoming parade emptying out of a banquet hall. There's all these girls dressed so nicely and I was intensely jealous. "I never got to enjoy that" I thought to myself. Then I thought about the red dress. OMG! Richard would flip! I was wearing pink skorts and a long sleeved red cotton T with a pair of sandals at the time. What a change this would be! And how else would I justify wearing that dress out to a casual bar? What the hell!
When I got home I changed into the red dress and red platforms and got out the purse I bought for the outfit. I so love halters and I love handkerchief hemlines and I love red so I was in 7th heaven! It took longer than expected and when I got back to Exile everyone was gone. I didn't even go inside.
So I figured I'd make the scene at Escapades. When I walked in the place almost went silent. I was grinning from ear to ear :D . I reminded everyone it ws homecoming weekend and that's why I was dressed this way. I got lots of compliments but I have to admit, while the outfit is totally hot, I was uncomfortable, both physically and mentally. I brought the clothes I was wearing earlier because I knew this would happen so after about 1/2 hour I went to my car and changed back. But no pictures! I could kick myself! I went all the way home to get the flash card and then didn't take a single picture. What a dope!
Escapades was kind of dead until the lesbians came in and took it over. I've met a lot of them before but what I liked most is how comfortable it made me feel when they came in. I'm totally appreciative that a gay establishment has accepted me even though almost everyone knows I'm straight but I still feel a bit out of place when it's all guys there. So when the girls came in droves (there had to be 12 or more) I felt so much more at ease. I swear, I have a lesbian brain! I only wish I had the body to go with it!
After that the place started getting packed with straight girls. :D I've never seen such a lopsided crowd there.
I don't know why but when I'm in drab I'm painfully shy but when I'm dressed I have all the confidence in the world. So I began making the rounds talking to all the girls, straight or lesbian. I was talking to this little cutie and seemed to be hitting it off with her when her friend intervened and literally pulled her away. BEWARE THE CROSSDRESER! Some people!
But there were plenty of other women there and I continued flirting. Then I saw her! My heart stopped! She was standing in line for the ladies' bathroom. OUCH! WOW! I was speechless! Suddenly I found myself unable to come up with something to say. I just stood there frozen. Then I thought to myself that this has never happened when I'm dressed. It happens all the time when I'm in drab but never dressed. But I had to talk to her. I was so drawn to her but what to say? Then I just walked up to her and told her the truth, "You know, I'm never at a loss for words but your beauty has me paralyzed." She smiled at me and said thank you then the bathroom opened and she went in.
I was like a nervous kid! I completely forgot I was dressed and that I was the only TG there (as usual). All I could think about was what to say next. I'm usually clever and funny when dressed and talking to women but now nothing was coming to me. She came out and went to the dance floor. I looked over and saw her dancing with Miko! Now Miko appreciates the feminine form but he's totally gay. So I went up to him and told him he has to introduce me. He said he didn't even know her name! Rats! Like a big chicken I stalked the dance floor. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She looked over at me and smiled the cutest smile and did this cute little wave. I melted! Now I was worse than before. I felt like Ralph Cramden doing his 'habada habada habada" routine. So what did I do? Nothing! I was talking to Miko's roommate (he's straight) and told him I was smitten by this girl. He's telling me to go for it. Then I started making excuses. "C'mon, do you think she wants this?" as I pointed to the guy dressed like a woman. What a dope I am. I was almost closing so I said my goodbyes and left. I'll be kicking myself about that for a while.
On a good note, I was talking to a guy I've known for quite a while (Tom). He's in a committed relationship with another guy. I've been to their place. We know each other pretty well. Anyway, he looks at my shirt and asks what it says (we're both old farts that need glasses to read almost everything!). It said "Polo Jeans Company" and I knew that but I looked down like I was reading it and then looked up and said, "I'm a f***ing idiot". Well that hit his funny bone and he just cracked up. Now Tom is a very quiet and reserved guy. I rarely see him really laugh but here he was laughing his butt off. Then he looks at me and says, "You are the coolest straight crossdresser I've ever known" or something like that. What struck me was how genuinely he said that while categorizing me as a "straight crossdresser". It was like an Englishman telling an Irishman he was a cool guy. I just gave him a big hug. Just writing this makes me smile. Chalk another one up for the TG crowd!
I am so glad I 'forced' myself to go out. I almost didn't go even after I had my nails done and had showered and shaved. I was really tired. But I turned on some music and was rejuvinated. I'm putting on my makeup while belting out Sinatra and Sammy Davis and Bobby Darren at the top of my lungs. What a sight that must have been!
I'm still dressed but have on powder blue skorts and a pink & grey cap sleeved T, no wig or forms, just me. I'm spending the rest of the day like this. I spent WAY too much time on these nails to take them off now!
When I look back at the great night I had I wonder if I could ever have such a good time if I wasn't TG. I doubt it!
"Professional crossdresser! Don't try this at home!"
