Las vegas transformation service, wife said yes

[DeniseNJ]

Well she isn't that thrilled like I am but I will be out in Vegas 1/5 to 1/9 and I always dreamed of getting professional help. I know there are a few services out there , does anyone have any reccomendations Why waste a good look, I will want to go out that night and experience the world as Denise I better be on good behavior so the wife doesn't change her mind. Hey it may happen in Vegas but Denise won't stay in Vegas

Chris at StudioLites on West Sahara is who has done my makeovers. That is who I will recommend.

I had a makeup lesson with Amy at Glamour Boutique. She explained how whe was doing the makeup as she went along and gave me a little cheat sheet to follow when I do my own makeup. I was happy with the results and went back to my hotel afterwards to put on my girls clothes.

I think they offer other services too, photos, trips on the town, that sort of thing, but escorted trips in Vegas can get pricey. I was happy with the makeup lesson.

I found a place called Isabels and Just you I rather have a woman or TS do my transformation. I seem to relate better to women . Like at the nail salon, I would feel funny if a guy did my pedicures and massaged my legs with lotion. Thanks for the suggestions. I am getting excited here!!!

I think Just You is Amy at Glamour Boutique. Hi have had both Chris and Amy, and keep returning to Amy. She does amazing work and is a delight. I did feel a tad awkward with Chris but he did a very nice job.

Yes I spoke with Amy and I just gave her a CC # to lock me in on Jan 6th @4pm This is gonna be a dream come true I kinda wish I could meet another girl from these boards out there and go out for a few hours so that I can enjoy life as Denise. If I feel good about myself who know where I will go

[OKPink]

I just saw Nikki at FemmeX in Dallas. It was wonderful! I get to Vegas every now and then, hope to do it again in Las Vegas!

[Launa]

Well congrats on your venture. keep us updated on how it goes!

[DeniseNJ]

HI You have to try out and contact Stephanie at www.TGgirlstore.com. I had a makeover with her and she was great. Give her a call or contact her via her website.

[Misti]

Does anyone have any reccomendations

Hands down, it's Amy at Glamour Boutique 2 (Just You). You'll be absolutely thrilled with her artistry, professionalism and TLC.

And, "Best of luck"... Have a great time on the town as the "New Denise!"

P.S. Amy and Jodie can give you excellent suggestions of where to go and what to do, too!

I have been buying and preping for the day,Got me 2 nice pair of clip on moet earings from Boscov last night. ordered me Bubbles a silicone padded panty, some new red platform heels small platform , a nice underwire strapless bra, and pleated pants and a nice dress on sale in a water melon color. I am planning a visit to the nail salon before the 1st for a fresh pedi. At this rate I will be denise even before I get there Yes I gave my CC to Amy to book me. Now the problem is I want to bring so much girly stuff on the trip, I might need another suit case, 3 pair of heels, accessories, forms, 2 wigs a dress, pleated pants{ still wanna buy a new top) thi highs, pantyhose, 2 bras, 2 panties . I am getting carried away, I might as well spend the whole 4 days as Denise, yea only in my dreams . The wife is very moody as of late , I have to be discrete, she don't know that I own forms or that I spent over $200 on girly stuff that's coming in the mail. I didn't tell her I wanted to go out on the town later as Denise to a TG friendly place. after the make-over.. I guess she will find out when she see's this bigger girl playing the slots with her legs uncrossed at the machine , wrapping her long red nails around a bottle of Corona. MMMMMmmmm maybe I better order a more girly drink like a cosmopolitan. I have been moisturizing and shaving every day, I even thinned out my arm hair, Oh How I want to shave it all off BUT the guys @ work will know something is up. I am gonna come home from Vegas a changed woman. I just hope I don't do anything crazy out there as denise

[kellytea59]

Denise .. Contact .. me I have done a ton of research on Vegas .. I don't have enough posts to contact you

[DeniseNJ]

Ok, lets start off by saying it was a partial success. woke up Friday morning after a night of dumping cash. My 9:30am red rock exotic car tour was first All I go to say is OMG that 458 italia,R8 Bentley convertable and jag type r was awsome. Round II, get back to the room, the wife is somewhat moody cause I was having fun, hey she could have came. In the back of my mind I know I have a 4pm appointment with Amy @ GB2. By now it is noon. We go get a sandwich and she says your buying me a pocketbook lets go to the outlets. I drive over the high end outlets. I cringe as she walks in to loui vatton ,Time is a ticking. their bags are like off the chart, she didn't want a coach, stopped in the Juicey store nope then to the DG store thank god she settles on a DB on sale for $125.00. Ok I need shoes to the Clark store tic toc tic toc tic toc I buy me a couple converse tee's on sale it was as if she wanted me to miss my appointment around 3:20 she needs a soda by now I am nervous , I need to drive back to Planet Hollywood, shave and get my stuff and the traffic was horrible 3:36 still at the mall, I call Amy to say that I might will late, she says she has a client @ 5m. and that if I am not there by 4:15 I will have to cancel. The wife see's me on the cell and asks , who you talking to, I say nobody and finally I tell her that I called GB2 Sorry this is long. Finally back to the parking garage and back to PH. I get to the hotel @ 4:04, the wife said you still going,I said yea but maybe I will be too late. The vallet holds my car up front, I kiss my wife goodbye and run to the 17th floor. thank god all my stuff was packed aready I think I set the record for shaving , I was determined to make it. Back to the car 4:11pm I call Amy and say that I am coming I got there 4:24. I am watching the clock like a inmate in Jail. I will end it with Amy is the best and made me feel like the girl is wanted to. I will post later about what I did next it was interesting... now here is a sample pic of her work,

[Lorileah]

Looks good. Bigger smile would have made it better (I understand why you may not...it was stressful)but the make over is very good. I hope you enjoyed that small respite in your trip.

[Marleena]

I'm so happy for your Denise, and you look great! Glad you got your wish after all of that.

[Julie Denier]

Really nice hair and makeup!

[DeniseNJ]

Ok for those that want a little story, After leaving GB2 and giving Amy a big Hug. she told me about a little bar called Chews that is Tg friendly. I had rented a car in Vegas and figures what the heck. I get there and I am the only CD there, I was told Saturday night was the night. Amy said that a few girls were getting together around 10pm at a club BUT to keep peace with the wife I could not attend. The wife said you can get the make over but don't get your nails done, Maybe she thought I was getting a set of acrylics, I so much wanted some glue on nails but I was late and my make over ran into the other client time. I stay at Chews for about 10 minutes , it was a kind of small dark dingy bar. I get back in the car and say , I am not parking in the parking garage @ planet hollywood, I am gonna Vallet. As I am in line picture a well lit area and people everywhere, My heart is racing, The guy walks up to the car and says Hello Maam, can you please pull up. That was the first time I had been called Maam. I was asked if I was checking in and in a soft voice i say, I am already here. OH it's Friday night and the strip is packed, beautiful girls everywhere along with your average testosterone filled drunken guys. I walk into the Casino and headed to the slot machines. It is one thing walking into some dark dingy bar and another walking into a well lit crowded casino. Three pretty asian girls made eye contact with me and I think they made me but other than that I walked with my head held hi and like your average older woman. I am wlking on the floor when my phone rings, it the wife asking (Where you at) as I hear the sound of slot machines in the background. I tell her that I was playing the slots, she is like Oh God! I'm am hungry , I wanna go to PF Changs go change. I so much wanted to spend the night As Denise BUT the echo's from of some of you sisters saying don't ruin your vacation over Dressing. I so hated to waste Amy's efforts to make me pretty but it was time to become Dennis again , coming off of cloud 9 was hard. So! am I changed after this experiencel sure I wanna shave off all my arm hair, sure I want my ears pierced, sure I wanna loose 60 lbs I was so excited and started to tell my wife about it and she said , I don't wanna hear about it. Later that night in the room I walked around the room with my cute little polished toes and the wife saw them but only a small comment was made and she didn't tell me to take it off now that's a + for me. So I did it 2 things off the bucket list drove some hot exotic cars in the morning and became the woman I wish I was in the evening what more can one ask for Ok one more pic

["Mary"]

That's so great Denise. I'm really happy for you and the success you had. Sure - you would have liked to do more. I had a similar experience, but did my own make up, wife came along to one bar in house, a show in house, a snack - a greasy snack that messed up my make up, but she sat out my walk to the neighboring casino. Baby steps. Thanks for sharing.

Hi
First I have to say I'm happy that you had a good time on your vacation.

Secondly, While I do have to admit that I don't know how your family finances work, but I do feel the need to point something out.

You:
Exotic car drive: $400
New [girly] clothes for trip: $200
Transformation: $75 deposit [Unknown actual cost]
Total: $675 [at least]

Your wife:
1 Purse: $125

You outspent your wife 5 to 1 but make it sound like she was breaking the bank with her single purchase. Not to mention it seems like you got a lot more out of this trip then she did.
I don't see her asking for a little something to be a problem for me.

Ok let me explain, I paid for airfare, Hotel was Comped, Rental car me, food me, hollywood tour me I gave her $500 gambling cash, If she wanted to drive dune buggys in the desert I would have paid for it. There wasn't any shows that she was interested in or available during our breif stay, The Hollywood tour took from 6:30am to 9:00pm on Saturday LONG DAY. It was when she wanted a hand bag she walked into the Louis Vuitton store first, The one hand bag she picked up had a price tag of $7500, She quickly set it down, We are not wealthy and I think the most expensive bag she owns is a $340 Coach She is not that mean of a person to make me pay thousands on a bag. I did buy her 2 pair of clark shoes about $100, a Jones of NY scarf $29.95 I said do you wanna go see the GUYS from Down Under, a chipendale type show with big manly guys she said I seen them Nope. So I feel it was a fair trade off Oh and it was $175 total at GB2 with pictures. I am not a selfish person and we did have a good time but my time I believe was better

Denise, the makeover was incredibly effective! I'm so sorry your wife is still not on board with this side of you. There are many advantages for her. Have you identified what the underlying issues are? Does she even realize what they are herself?'

[Persephone]

Congratulations on having a really great day, Denise! You look great!!!

Sheesh, I have friends who have Bentlys and Ferraris and I've never driven one!

It sounds like your wife is not accepting, but at least from what you've written she's been tolerant and that is a pretty big step. Yes, I definitely understand how frustrated you are that you could not keep your makeup on and that she wasn't willing to join in the fun, but it seems to me, again based purely on what you've posted, that the door has at least opened a crack and that's a good thing.

All told, you had an amazing day! Who knows what can happen next time?

Hugs,
Persephone.
