So I decided to play hooky from work yesterday. I am not sure why but I used to be able to brag about only having called in sick 2 times in a twenty year span but I have done that twice in the last 6 months so maybe I am out of control. ...but I digress...
I told the wife I was going on a day trip to visit a vendor and would be home late. I hate the lying but didn't want to hear about how I can call in sick for Christy but not to spend a day with her. Of course every time I mention playing hooky our schedules never sync. ...but I digress, again...
So I left the house at 5:30 AM and parked at my favorite changing spot and got all dolled up. Tuesday's are my normal therapy appointments so I went to my shrink en femm (the second time) and after that, I drove 3 hours to Portland to a transformation studio.
I pulled all my stuff out of my truck and had a 4 hour fashion consult. We found a bunch of things in my stash that we could match together and found a bunch of stuff that was too small. all in all, she complimented me on my fashion sense and told me that I didn't really need too much help in that department. I did decide to buy a new cincher that really holds stuff together. It looks like it is rubber but it really smoothed stuff out. Apparently as I start padding my self, I develop side boobs and additional back fat...who knew.
Next, we talked about hair. Specifically what I had was a hot mess. She told me I should wear long hair with my big shoulders becasue it causes the hair to bunch up and tangle and then just look crappy. She recommended medium length hair (of which I had one wig already). She then taught me how to care for these things so they would last longer and retain more of their shape.
Finally, she gave me a make-up lesson. I had my video camera and filmed the whole event. She taught me trick on application and what not to do. She showed me how to shade and accentuate to make a more feminine look. By the time I left it had been almost 9 hours and I was complimented on my look.
She did a wonderful job. I ended up buying wig care products, make-up products and the cincher I mentioned earlier. This is some of the best money I have spent because I really felt pretty. She told me that I had so much natural beauty that I only needed a few things added to be passable. Now I know she is in the business to bloat my ego but she really made me feel good about myself and how I present.
The whole three hour drive home I felt giddy. I wanted so much to be able to go somewhere and show myself off. Of course by the time I got home it was almost midnight and I had to work this morning but I had so much inner peace and felt so much self worth the whole way home I just wanted to share.
Thak you for letting me brag about my day. I only have one picture but here it is...
