Sorry, long post...
OK...I'd been planning this for a few months and taken a week off from work so I could get ready. I started the day by shaving my legs, arms and chest completely. (may be some repercussions from this later, I'll keep you posted). After the bleeding stopped, I went to lunch with my wife. I was concerned about my shaved my arms, but no reaction whatsoever. So far so good.
At 1:00pm I went to my appointment. Anxious, but steady I take a breathe and walk in. The first person I see is another customer, "great" :rolleyes: I think. I meet my GG contact and her assistant. The shop is feminine, small and compartmentalized, but homey. After some small talk for comfort, she asks me to shave, since I'm a little bristlely. Finally I sit in the chair to apply make up. First the 'Putty", or beard cover. Then base, shadow, eyeliner and mascara, ending with lipliner and lipstick. I kept peeking in the mirror and would be reminded to face her. Then she took my wig and placed it on me, styling and trimming, with hair spray. when she was done I could look again. OH MY G_ _!!!! I was about to ask myself out later. The assistant asked if I was claimed. But wait, it gets better!
She asked if I wanted to try on some new wigs? "Sure, once in a lifetime chance" I thought. We tried a cute blonde sassy wig, and then a shoulder length red. The red wig was STUNNING. It makes my eyes come alive. (I do have pics and will post them on the pics forum as they become available). But wait there more!
I tried on some new dresses and skirts and tops. The assistant sees me avoid getting my makeup on the dress and says "this isn't your first time is it?" "Uh...no, I tried this once before" I said with a wry smile. :D
Anyway...I bought the red wig, dresses, forms, and a skirt, and tops. I had a ball. I have to go upstairs now and put the empresses new clothes away.:D
