Well, I didn't really dance, per se. I did move with the music a little at times.
Saturday was my first BIG adventure into the wild, en femme. The world didn't end. I had a good time.
I went to a drag show, en femme. I had planned to go to one around Halloween, but some things came up and I didn't go then. I wanted to go with a pinup/rockabilly look. I found a cute dress online. I had arranged for my hair to be done for the show but ended up cancelling that appointment. Not long ago, I saw the announcement for this recent show and began making my plans. I called the stylist and made a new appointment. We were both excited. We decided on a vintage inspired updo. I really wanted a barrel roll. But she told me that I still need to grow my hair out some more (it's just below my shoulder line now). So she did some other vintage wavy curls. It was cute. I dressed in a cute sweater dress with a cardigan to that appointment since I wanted to save my rockabilly dress for the evening and I didn't want to be walking around afterward with glam hair in drab/guy clothes. Immediately after hair, I had to stop at the local Walgreens for some things; no awkwardness at all despite my own nervousness. The young man was very professional.
I came out to a few GG friends, since fall, who were all too eager to volunteer to help with make up as well. I headed to their apartment after Walgreens. The initial makeup artist fell through and another girl stepped in. My eyes came out darker than I wanted. I still rocked it!
A preshow bar trip was mentioned to bide time until our other friends were ready; to which was apprehensive. I ultimately figured, "what the hell!" So we went. I had an adult beverage to take the edge off my nervousness. I'm pretty sure I was clocked; nothing bad happened, no awkward stares nor rudeness. Our other friends didn't show up so we headed to the show. At the show, I got tons of compliments throughout the night which bolstered my confidence. It was an overall pleasent experience. I would definitely do it again. Hopefully by then I'll have a better handle on hair and makeup on my own.
