It's amazing as I peel the onion back on this whole thing, what I get to experience and learn about myself. Yesterday, I went for a "transformation consultation" at a local salon and spa. (If any of you girls that live in the Cleveland area are looking for a place like this to be yourself, let me know and I'll give you the details.)

The owner sat with me right in the middle of the spa and I had a very open and comfortable conversation with her about my crossdressing and what I am looking to do. I'm sitting there looking every bit the truck driver I am, 3 day growth, all grubby coming over right after work. She was delightful and engaging and really made me feel like this is normal (which I know it is, but am working to feel that way). Ladies all around, hair getting styled, nails done, etc. and me sticking out like a sore thumb, but feeling incredibly welcome. She asked about my style, which I answered without thought, just as natural as can be. She told me that I could look pretty good, so either she is a good sales person, or an incredible make up artist.

Next month I am planning my first outing to a support group meeting and she's going to spackle me up so I look presentable. If all goes well, I may even allow pictures to be taken! We'll see.

Anyway, just wanted to "tell" someone.

Happy holidays, all.

Have fun! It'll be easy.

start thinking about where you will go afterwards. Theatre? Movies? Dinner with the normals? It's all good

We need a place like this in Massachusetts. All I know I learned here, from the SO and living it for 30+ years

That's great, Kandi! Believe me, if I can look halfway decent en femme, anyone can. Can't wait to hear all about your experience - and hopefully see some pics! ;)

Kandi - what a super experience for you and what a great person she is.. :cheer: Oh, and hopefully both a great sales person AND makeup artiste... :)

Good to have a venue already planned for post-transformation and somewhere that should be supportive and confidence building for you...

Of course, we want to hear all about it after.... :D
