So today I finally got up the courage to walk into a department store about a 100 miles away and ask for some help. I asked for a concealer ,foundation and powder as well as a blush that all would match my skin tone.
So she said no problem, lots of men want a little color.and asked if I was a performer. I told her I just had the desire to look like a girl. She smiled and told me that "You have to be who you are" And then she got to work. I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest as she started to make-up my face and apply the different steps. When asked about eyeliner and lips I said yes. I was sort of in drap at the moment and was feeling a little self conscious as people walked by. I had brought some girl stuff with and was wearing girl jeans and blouse under my jacket. When she held up the mirror, I was amazed! I took out my wig and placed it on and she helped me get it right. Told me I looked very feminine and told me to have fun. Not to worry if people look, they don"t know you anyway.
I went to the car and got the rest of my things, found a place to change and came out with my high heel boots and boot-cut jeans, hip paddied and compressed, large hoops and went back inside the store. I bought a scarf to hide my adams apple and went back to the cosmetic counter for her approval, a spray of perfume, and wished me luck. She was so calm about everything and built up my confidence to the point that I spent two hours in the mall, and went downtown for lunch. I tried things on at different stores and even though I was read as soon as I talked, everbody treated me with respect. My wife is out of town but she asked how my day went, and after I told her all about it , she surprised the crap out of me by telling me how happy she was for me and amazed at the courage it took. DID I Say First TIME? ok well holloween and a tri-ess meeting, but never in public and daytime to boot. A wondeful wonderfull day Crazy about this day... BETH
