I have been thinking about this a long time and I have decided it s time to go out, in public, en femme for the first time (other than SCC and walking around my hotel at 4 am) this halloween.
Here is the plan.
I have a facial laser hair removal appointment at 1 pm in the big city, San Jose, Costa Rica. The hospital where I am having laser is near the gay part of San Jose.
I will take the early morning bus to San Jose. There are 2 gay friendly (TG friendly?) hotels in the area, If one of the hotels looks OK, I will spend the night, otherwise, the plan is off, back to safety. Or, maybe, I might spend the night and check out the area, en drab, just for future reference.
After the laser appointment, I plan on doing some shopping, en drab. I need some makeup and I need to buy a costume. I plan on going with just a Madri Gras mask, unless I see a costume that will work for me.
Then, at around 8 or 9 pm, I plan on visiting the Gay bars in the area en drab , to see if there are others like me around and whether I will feel safe and not too uncomfortable.
If it looks good, I will get dressed. I haven't decided what to wear.
I have narrowed it down to a purple, sleeveless fit and flare dress with a red belt, or a little black sleeveless dress with a red belt, or a white pleated skirt with a black, ruffled sleeveless top, or a pair of black leggings with a long sleeve sky blue t-shirt with or without a red belt? (That is almost my entire wardrobe so I have not narrowed it down much.) I also have not decided whether to wear heels or flats.
Once I am dressed, I will take a taxi to the selected bar and (try to?) have fun. In my purse, I will only bring money and some makeup. I will leave my id, etc in the hotel in case the purse gets stolen. (Am I being paranoid?)
That's the plan, what do you think?
The big question is "Why am I doing this?"
That question is for another post
