Oh you just can't beat shopping! Last week at Target I got a Hello Kitty calculator (cute!), and the girl asked if it was for me. I said it sure was, and she broke out laughing. I said in my best mock indignation voice "and just what's wrong with Hello Kitty?". She just smiled and told me to enjoy it.

I have thoughts around the same lines only with alot more people involved. I order my under things on line from Bare Necessities, I picture someone on the line yelling "Hey Joy is ordering more pretties for himself" YUK YUK! They keep enticing me with the coupons on line what's a gurl to do ? :D :D :D :D Nice "Lay Out" though Wendy !

I took half an hour today just to psyke myself up to go over to look at the tops in Primark today. I'm SO pleased with my purchases though. :D Black is definatly slimming... and so sexy. ;)

Wendy...

I've had a Fashion Bug card for about two years now (recently upgraded to premier status) and I REALLY do spend a lot of time and money in the various Fashion Bug Stores both as Shari and as Jim. I remember one time last Christmas as I entered the store a clerk asked me if I was looking for a present for my wife. I told her probably NOT!

Shari went to the one in Elmira today and bought 4 bras, 6 pr of earrings. I looked at a denim blazer and decided not to buy it. After going to Payless Shoes and Sally Beauty, I remembered I had a $10 off coupon in the truck for FB! Back I went for the blazer! The clerks were really surprised and happy that I came back so soon. And I've never had a problem in asking to use the dressing rooms either!

OPPS! Now I've got a Sally's beauty Club card, too!

Love the Bug! I have my own Fashion Bug Premier CC as well. All the girls at the local store know me and make sure that I know about all the sales that are in the works. And trying things on has never been a problem :) .

Hi, I'm a newby. S/O and I love ebay. She has spent hours shopping for things. most days when I come home there is a new package, some for her and some for me. Just be careful and check those sizes.

Way to go Wendy:

While we do not have a fashion bug in Canada, I have been in them in the States, and was treated very well.
I am a bit of a shopaholic. To-night just to have a change, i got fully dressed and was wearing a skirt and Jacket I got from Eddition-Elle here in Ontario. Only a minuet or two after i went into the store, i was greeted by one of he sales girls who very kindly mentioned that the skirt and jacket came from their store ( which they did ).
I was looking for a dress for a funcition i am going to the end of April, but the only one they had i liked was a bit long for me. Looking around I found a denim skirt i fell in love with and bought. I have been in this store several times, and have always been treated like any other lady shopping, and if I see an outfit i like, they always ask if I would like to try it on.
I have found, be courteous to them, and they will recriprocate. If any of the sales girls do realize I am TG they sure do not show it

Must be a Fashion Bug Day!

I too went to the local Fashion Bug as Jenna today. I've been in there as Jenna several times, but never purchased anything as Jenna (have bought lots as my drab self).

I saw a wonderful green paisley tunic in the display window, but alas, they didn't have it in my size.

I looked around alot and found two lovely tops: one a pretty peach crinkle type top and a lovely rose print on an off-white background tunic with a diagonal cut hem.

The clerk asked if I'd like to use the fitting room, but I declined. I didn't know if it was appropriate to use the fitting room when the clerks thought I was a GG.

I've used the fitting rooms at Wal Mart as Jenna, but they're unisex. I've not used a ladies fitting room as Jenna. Is it appropriate to do so, when the clerks think I'm a GG?

I also bought a cute white knit handbag for spring.

The clerks at Fashion Bug and the Dollar Tree store (I bought some bobby pins and a key chain there) all treated me as just another woman - Woo Hoo.

A great day!


Love

Jenna

If the clerks ask if you want to try something on, then it's appropriate. Jaie

I really admire that. For a lot of CD's it's hard and embarrassing sometimes. But that's what you have to do. NEVER be ashamed!

Hi Wendy, nothing like being honest. I actually have done the same thing on more than one occasion. When the salespeople don't believe me, I prove it.
I go back as the pretty me! All believe me then but some still can't believe
their eyes. (lol) No guts, no glory!

Wendy, you go girl. My wife and I both love fashion bug. But they are few and far between down here. So, when we make a trip back home then we make sure we stop at the one back home and clean them out. And you already know I think you are a little off and have a lot more guts than I. Keep it up sister as you are an inspiration.:happy:

Kisses, April Marie

I have a local Fashion Bug Plus that I go to quite frequently. On my last excursion I wore knee high 3" heel boots, black gaucho pants (Lane Bryant lace thong underneat), and a tight dark grey sleeveless turtleneck sweater (with a 44C bra and adhesive forms). A light jacket hid the boobs a bit but not oto much. No makeup, no wig, still with the beard and mustache. A guy from the neck up and what I really feel from the neck down. Had a ball. Sales lady was showing me all the new spring outfits and a few customers asked some nice questions about my "wearing" and asked if I would even come out of the dressing room to "show" a few things. I DI IT !!!!!! WHAT A BLAST !!! Comments were nice (even from one ladies husband -- I think he also may the CD type) . I ended up buying this to die for new slinky black gaucho pant set with matching long blouse and a belted knee lenght dress !!! WAO !!!!!
