Alright, ladies, here's my story from Halloween.
I had been contemplating dressing en femme for some time and now that my wife knew, I thought it would be easier to get away with.
So why was I still having a hard time coming to grips with it? If anything, today (Halloween) was the day to "get away with it" so to speak. So after thinking about it for the last time, I dressed in a business suit with skirt, nude hose and heels. A redheaded wig topped off the look. And if I changed my mind, I packed a bagful of "guy clothes" so I could change before I got to work, and the only makeup I wore was lip gloss. Not to make a mockery of CDing, but I thought by not wearing any makeup people would find it more amusing. Besides, I was running late and had no time to apply my face ;)
So I was dressed and ready to go. Out to the car I go, and I already felt the liberation us CDs feel when we "go out" for the first time. I felt sexy, sophisticated, and assured.
The morning commute was riddled with the usual stop-and-go traffic. I found myself tucking my red hair behind my ears quite often so as to keep it out of my face. About 30 minutes later I arrive at work--early.
And there I sat, thinking. I was about to leave my car, walk through the parking structure and into the building dressed as a woman. What would people think of me? What would their reaction be? Oh, what the hell had I done?
Just as I was about to disrobe in my car and put on my guy clothes, I said it, let's do this. I exited the car, grabbed my things, and started walking to the elevator. The sound of my heels echoed through the structure.
I arrive at the front door and am greeted by the security guy who had no idea who I was until I said "Good morning" in my usual voice. He stepped back, smiled, and chuckled a bit. "Oh man, good morning to you!" he said. As I approached the elevator, a lady was standing there. She looked at me and also smiled. I forgot what I had said to her and all she said was, "I'm actually impressed you can walk so well in those heels!" Little do they know... ;)
I go to the reception area where about 5 employees--mostly women--were talking, some in costume. Again, nobody knew who I was when they saw me. Once they did, the reactions began:
"Oh my God! Is that you?"
"Are you serious? You even wore nylons and heels!"
"Wow, you look...so different!"
In fact, there were many more reactions to my "costume" that day:
[B]From the ladies:
"You have legs 'til tomorrow. Legs 'til tomorrow, I'm telling you."
(Jokingly) "Are you wearing proper undergarments?" I was wearing a swimsuit as a bodyshaper underneath, and that comment got me a little "excited" ;)
"Seriously, nice legs."
"A guy has to be really comfortable with himself to dress like that. Seriously. Most wouldn't even consider it."
"Did you shave your legs?" They look really good."
From the guys:
"That's awesome."
"You're very convincing, actually."
(Looks at me; grunts and walks away) "No, man...no way..."
"Have you met my girlfriend?"
"That's a great costume."
At any rate, word spread like wildfire around the office and before I knew it, just about everybody who was dressed up was visiting me in my cubicle. And they weren't satisfied with just seeing my face, no. ALL of them wanted to see "the whole package" so I had to stand and model for them. Many took pictures; in fact, one girl kept coming back to take more :) And during lunch, I couldn't help but notice one of the more attractive ladies (in my opinion) in the office was staring at me every time I looked up!
Making my rounds through the office only made me more susceptible to modeling my outfit, which I didn't mind at all. In fact, I was loving every minute of it! This was also a great way to break the ice with people in other departments who I had yet to work with at a job I am still relatively new at.
And it worked--very well, I might add. Everybody remembered what I had done and they all seem to know me now. In fact, as of this post, most of the girls in the office are still raving about it, mostly about how great my legs looked and how well I walked in heels.
I seem to have made a connection with the GGs in the office, who seem to smile at me a lot more since Halloween. The guys, well...not much coming from them in terms of comments.
But all in all, it was an absolutely wonderful day. Please, if any of you out there have yet to do this, make a promise to go out em femme on Halloween and see what it feels like. I promise you'll want to do it again!
BTW, many felt I should have won the costume contest. But no prize could equal the liberation and positive comments I received that day :)
