Recently, I visited a wig boutique I frequent to have one of my wigs trimmed and look through some catalogs for a future purchase. Another reason for stopping by was to see if the boutique owner would allow me to put on my corset, pantyhose, bandage dress and heels (along with wearing a wig, of course) and walk around the establishment and "model" for her. After the wig trimming/styling, perusing a large number of catalogs, and selecting some wigs for her to price the following week with her wholesaler, I posed the big question...would she allow me to dress up and walk around the establishment. She was such a doll and said "yes, absolutely." During previous visits, I had shown her pics of me fully en femme, but she'd never actually seen me dressed in person. Hoping and expecting she'd say yes, I had already brought my garments with me. So she slipped me into one of her styling rooms to get ready. Now, I didn't bring any make-up with me so I wasn't going to completely transform. One of her sales associates was in the shop and once she learned what I was up to she expressed her excitement to see me once I was dressed. After shutting the door, I carefully locked it and went to work. It took me about 20 minutes to get everything set. I was still learning how to slip on and properly lace my corset. But, eventually everything was in place and cracked open the door and called out for the owner to come down and see me. I had the sales associate wait her turn as she was trying to see me along with the owner. When she peeked into the room, the owner was almost speechless. She couldn't believe how good the bandage dress looked on me and was amazed by the curves created by the corset. She exclaimed that she wished a corset could do for her what it did for me. I gave her some tips to include pointers for eating healthy and exercising. She explained that she was overweight and asked how I kept my lean and trim figure. Of course, it's usually easier for men to lose weight and keep it off as compared to women. But, it still takes a focused effort to maintain a healthy weight. Well, after she had me twirl around showing all my angels, she then called the sales associate to come down the hall and see me too. She was in her late 20s to early 30s and just was beside herself seeing me. And interestingly, she began to flirt with me. I could really tell my wearing a dress was turning her on. (Wow, I wonder how she'd react if she saw me completely dolled up!). I then asked them both if I could practice walking up and down the long hallway of the boutique in my 4 and quarter inch heels. They didn't hesitate in affirming my request. So, off I went up and down, up and down, and up and down the hallway for about 15 minutes with each of them giving me tips for presenting a feminine appearance and gait. (ugh...it's really hard and I have a long way to go to achieve perfection). The most important tips they shared were to keep my feet in alignment (like walking a tight rope), holding my back straight and maintaining an upright posture, and not walking too fast. Keeping my back straight was the most difficult. They were amazed that I could easily walk in heels. I shared I had a lot of practice wearing heels over the years. After all the fun, I got undressed and went to the front to pay for the wig styling and to share my deepest gratitude for allowing me to dress and practice my walk. They were so open and accepting and genuinely appreciated who I was. I could just tell that they shared in the joy I experienced dressing up. I just wished I had brought all my makeup and presented myself completely transformed. Who knows, maybe another time! Well, as I was about to leave, the SA wanted to give me her telephone number. I politely declined explaining that I was happily married with a supportive wife but really, really appreciated her interest in me. She was so cool about it...not embarrassed or put off in any way by my response to say the least. i think she figured I'd answer as such given that I was wearing my wedding band. I did say that I looked forward to seeing the two of them again and in fact the boutique owner knew I'd be stopping buy again since I had picked out a few wigs in her catalogs for her to price out for me. In all, it was truly a wonderful and exciting experience. Next time I go, I may call ahead of my appointment and ask them if I could dress completely en femme for them. Right now, I'm too nervous to ask. But I'll likely get my courage up sometime in the future. Both of them are such lovely and accepting cis-women and I can't wait to visit them again (and of course purchase a new wig!) Nikki p.s. has anyone else experienced attention and interest from GGs when dressed up?
Enjoy our new life and seek peace
