For years members come to this Forum to declare victory --- they had come out for the first time. For me, closeted both with and without SOs, I had really convinced myself that with all my health issues it would never happen.
Well two surgeries were put on hold and with Rog nagging at me for years, and just recently Barbara Ellen chiming in too --- I did it!
Today two trips: First, wearing dark blue pants and light blue tank top and, because it was raining, a short raincoat I headed for the nearest salon. What I needed --- waxed eyebrows to thin and arch - but not too much; and to steam my own hair down so it would lay over ears and in back. Didn't know that I should have brought my brow powder and brush but the young lady said I looked fine without. I talked in a soft voice while she plucked, waxed and steamed --- I think it worked. No odd glances from other customers or beauticians that I could spot. Okay, back home to do brows and off I went to buy groceries. This time with boobs up and prominent -- an 18 hour bra that actually lifts my 38B like a young girl would. Passed men and women in and out of store, cashier said "Mam" as did two other employees! At 88 years a FIRST! Realized too that old CD women can pass easier than young ones, provided they try to dress befitting that generation.
Enough crowing
Julie.
Before someone comments: No, I don't know if anyone "made" me.
Oh yes, Had to use lady's restroom --- only one of six stalls in use - no problem.
