I find it quite funny that with all my fears and nervousness about going out in public and being seen that I have finally been outed by my cell phone. I never thought that it would happen that way but none-the-less here is my story.

My beloved Toyota Solara Convertible has been programmed so that I can talk on my cell, hands free, and I have left my cell phone number as a contact source for Annie with such places as Sally Beauty, my nail salon and some of the clothing stores where I shop enfemme. Occasionally, dressed as Annie, I receive calls for my male self and I never gave it a second thought although when dressed it is my habit to talk with a softer more feminine voice and it catches the caller by surprise and I quickly have to clear my throat and start talking in my male voice.

Well today, I was out driving with my college age daughter and you guessed it, I answered the phone and the caller, Sally Beauty, announced that Annie's curling iron had just arrived and I could pick it up anytime. Of course, I thanked the caller and replied that I would be in this week end.

There was nothing really said, only a knowing smile and a question about what kind I had purchased. Although both of my children, both college age, know about Annie, they have never seen her dressed and we basically have a don't ask, don't tell situation concerning my dressing.

Although I think that what happened is funny, I just wanted to warn any of you who might have hands free in your car to be careful about giving out your feminine name with your number.

Wow.. That was an experience I bet. At least they already knew of Annie prior to that car ride. But yeah, I can imagine that being a very uncomfortable situation for you or anyone that may happen too. Technology can be good and bad at the same time like in this case, Sally Beauty was conveniently inconvenient.

Or you could have just laughed out loud and said, " Look at that, they even call the wrong numbers on cell phones soometimes". I don't own such a device, maybe that's why. lol

i agree with Melody, i did not think about this, i guess because i don't normal talk on th cell phone as Stacy, but thanks for a good post.

Hi Annie, I once got a text message from Payless when I really didn't want it.
I put a stop to that real quick.
