Well, it finally happend to me, and I guess it's been long overdue - last night I was so excited, I put on my new skirt and top and went shopping, bought a great purse on sale and had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, everything was going so great until on the way back home, three guys started looking at me kind of funny. I stopped and looked at a dress in the window of Banana Republic and the three of them burst into hysterics and I heard one of them laughing about me "looking at a dress!" They were big guys, and they were headed the same way I was, and I had a terrible premonition that something like what happend to JennyCD was going to happen to me. I lost them in a store and by the time I got back to my place, I was sick to my stomach - I threw up my dinner and tossed and turned for hours, vowing never to dress again.
But this morning, I got up early and before I knew it I was putting on my makeup! It was like something I just had to try, like after falling off a bike or getting back up on the diving board - I had to prove to myself that I could pass again. So I put on my old faithful skirt and a pink sweater and went to the Corner Bakery - man, I was starving! When I looked down at my stockinged knees while I freshened my lipstick, I knew that I could never give this up. Best of all, I ran the gauntlet on the way home - teenage girls, construction workers - and no second glances. Windy Cissy is back! Here's a picture I just took to prove to myself that it all really happened.

It just goes to show, nobody is going to pass 100% of the time, but life is too short not to enjoy doing what we were born to do.
