Complimented

[AndreaCD1963]

I told a GG colleague that I was a CD - she had more or less figured it out because she spotted the subtle nail polish I wear. After I came clean and told her why I wear nail polish, she asked if she could see a picture. I showed her one from my most recent outing and her reaction was "wow, you go all out. I never would have recognized you!" That comment alone made me feel good - and the fact that she didn't even flinch when I told her.

So I now have a another person I can talk with from time to time :-)

Hi Andrea,

Nice story and compliments are always nice. But having others to share with is priceless.

That's great, Andrea! As long as you're comfortable with her knowing but not jeopardizing your career. And agreeing with Isha, it is a relief and liberating to have someone else to share this side of ourselves with! Hope your friendship stays strong! :)

That is part of the mystique of being a convincing CD'er.

It is difficult to believe there is a man hiding in there somewhere.

Wonderful to read Andrea, that you have another GG person to talk with! Always good to get their advice about feminine issues like makeup, hair styles, mix-n-match outfits, etc. Enjoy.

Hi Andrea, It's wonderful to have someone to talk to about our program.

[lingerieLiz]

Good going.

I enjoy talking to women about clothes and looks etc. I've been lucky and found several female friends who are happy to shop and talk with me.

Very cool Andrea!

I'm happy that you found an ally!

Be yourself, girl!

Good for you, Andrea. Gutsy, too. Enjoy your friend's support.

[Tracii G]

Pretty cool lady friend to have huh?

[AndreaCD1963]

Thanks for the support everyone! And yes, it always feels good to add another ally to the friends list :-) I decided a long time ago that while I don't go around broadcasting that I'm a CD, when/if someone asks or calls me out on something (like she did with the nail polish), then just own it. After all, what we do isn't illegal or immoral (or fattening). I think many of us worry too much - in my experience, especially with GG's, it's not really a big deal.

[Wifeofdonna]

Well done!

[MsVal]

Own it. Get in front of it. Manage it.

Andrea, you hit all three points. Good going.

Best wishes

Yeah, it's cool until she decides to let it slip to someone else you work with or use it against you somehow. You are flirting with disaster.
