In the past few months I have ventured out in the world more boldly and done several things that were totally new experiences for me. Among them--- Attended a retirees meeting for my company en femme (different town--didn’t know a soul) --------used several ladies rest rooms--------used female changing rooms to try on dresses------lots of mall shopping----went to a beauty shop to get a new wig trimmed and thinned---------had a makeover in a department store. All were without a negative incident. I did have my boobs stared at by a very handsome guy in the meeting and I got a wink from a guy when I was having my makeup application. I owe my success in these events to the guidance and encouragement I have received here from those who have ventured into these areas before me. Two bits of advice stand out in my mind. #1) Dress to blend in and #2) most people you will encounter don’t give a darn. Thank you for your help, Ladies.
With this success comes lots of confidence. Sure, it would be fun to do any of these things again, and I will. But, I’m looking for new challenges. One thing I am thinking about doing is going to a major department store (Dillard’s, Nordstrom’s, Macy’s etc) and being fit with new heels. I’ve purchased most of my shoes at self service stores, so repeating this would not be a new experience for me. Has anyone had a shopping experience similar to what I am considering?
Also, does anyone have any other ideas of new experiences I can try? Please, be nice and be reasonable!! <<<giggle>>> No, Karren, I’m not going to make an appointment with an OB/GYN. Maybe a therapist, but not an OB/GYN. [/COLOR]
For those of you still in the closet I urge you to take that first step. Make it a small one, but do it--AND THEN YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN. You will get a high like nothing you have ever experienced. My heart still skips a beat when I step out the door
Please share your ideas with me.
