Well, this weekend was interesting as I got confronted and completely caught off guard by one of my very good GG friends. We have some common friends in a small local circle of CD's and folks who like to go up to the local "alternative club".
Well one of my first times out and dressed up to this place was last Feb or so, and I've been there dressed about 3 or four times since then. Apparently some in this circle of friends couldn't keep their mouth shut and slowly but surely, word leaked out and spread. It seems that a lot of my local friends now know about my dressing.
My longtime GG friend was at a local bar on Friday night, and she flat out confronted me, told me about "what she heard" from a couple different sources. I just looked right at her and said, "yeah, that was me there, high heels and all. I have a little female part of my personality which I indulge once in a while."
It took her a couple minutes to absorb it, and she said, "well I've known you for a long time, and I'm not going to hold that against you. To each is own." She handled it very cool, and made sure I knew that our friendship was not changing at all. She asked to see a picture, I hesitated at first, but figured she knew, so what harm would it do. She wanted to know what I wore, and my hair color and style.
I showed her a couple of my select photos, she was staring at the phone screen going, OMG--------OMG----That's YOU? smiling all the while, she even told me that I looked beautiful, still not quite believing what she saw. She's like, "that doesn't even look like you. I would have never known if I crossed paths with you."
It's funny because me and her talked about going out to the club together, with me dressed. She said it would be a lot of fun and we're definitely going to go. :heehee:
Anyway, so I'll be dealing with some local fallout from the knowledge, and I know a lot of people know about it and havn't said anything to me yet, sofar nobody's treated me any differently than they did before, I can only hope it stays that way.
