Went through drive thru

I've always kept my dressing hidden. I got a cheap Halloween wig and decided to go through drive-thru in the wee hours. My voice cracked but I think that with the mass of brassy blonde hair I was good until I got to the payment/pickup window. The lady took my money, asked if I wanted a little or a lot of ice (I cracked back "a little") then brought my drink. As she started to wish me a good day she hesitated slightly, ending with have a good day, baby.
So I think that I did pass for a minute but my voice gave me away finally. Still, she was friendly and I bought something en femme!

Nice. Never did a drive thru. Something worth thinking about though. I did order pizza once but when the delivery guy came I kept the lights low my outline was a bit vague. After that I was too excited to eat the pizza!

I sense an underlying excitement in these posts that I enjoy often. That feeling of presenting in varying degrees of, other than male, in everyday situations. That little spark of 'OK, no turning back.' I've gone shopping and to the bank or getting gas or even to medical appointments fully underdressed with forms and heels. These adventures are exciting little side trips into gender blender land and certainly less time consuming than full transformation.

"Are those real?"
"Why certainly they're real. And they cost quite a bit!"
"I like your shoes."
"Thank you, I like the way you do your hair."

Nice to hear of your adventure. You're lucky that the lady at the window ended with "baby". Had it been me, God only knows how she'd have addressed me.

I went and bought a chocolate in my early days of dressing.
It was part of a dare.
I certainly did not pass but no one seemed to notice.
My friends were all disappointed that no one screamed or fainted.
I think I was about to faint though.

I don't know if buying a cheap halloween wig makes you "en femme" or not but at least you got a small step in there :D

Well u did it and that's great, I love going dress I ve done a lot to stores, malls, gas station, you name it. it is so sexy congrats baby heheheehe:brolleyes:

and practice makes perfect

Ericalynn good for you I know the feelings that were rushing through you. I did something similar without the wig but in full makeup (as best as I could do)and was asked if there was a play at the local theater. I just kind of laughed and said nope.

Good for u baby!!!.

It can be fun!..:).......I hit the Burger King by me once and awhile if I go out late:doh::heehee::hbr:

I love reading posts like this.

:hugs:

When I first started dressing and got brave enough to go out, I did that often, drive throughs, gas stations, remote drop off sites for dry cleaning and so on. Small steps, but definite progress!

A drive through was my first "human" contact of recent times.

Don't forget it's not only the voice but what you say. Most GMs will say "Can I get a..." While most GGs will say "I'd like a ...."

Renne......

I forgot to mention the rest of my outfit (not too spectacular) but I've never had a wig before so I think that spurred me on. The rest of the look is below:

magenta sports dress with spaghetti straps
maroon t-shirt
Bobbie Brooks bra
2 pair Hanes nylon ladies briefs
(one for tucking)
1 pair of pantyhose
Black cloth purse
1 pair Fioni Night sandals (2.5" heels)
Wet 'n' Wild Lipstick Stoplight Red
Wet 'n' Wild eye pencil
Wet 'n' Wild Silent treatment shadow trio

One of the things I've done is gone thru the drive thru several times during the day wearing what I've got on in my avitar. Im not sure if they really noticed or not but it's seems they gave me a look since I don't do makup or hide I'm male

Congrats, Erica!

Passing at a drive-thru is very difficult because they hear you before they see you.

One of "Persephone's Rules" is "Don't talk where you can't be seen." It's that first contact, be it visual or audio, by which they make their decision about whether you are a guy or a woman. If they see a woman before they hear your voice then they are much more likely to think "My, but She has a deep voice."

Check out this woman (click here, contains audio), yes. she is the bass voice in the group! Particularly check out her voice starting when the guy on the left points to her, around 1:18 into the video. And remember that she "passes" most of the time, but would likely get called "Sir" on the little audio box at the fast food.

Hugs,
Persephone.

Sounds fun, I think she was being polite and complimented you on your em femme efforts :)

Hi Ericalynn, It sounds like a fun thing to try.
