Yesterday I went to an upscale three tier mall around 10:30 AM to walk in my new boots and get in a little CD time in public. I was neatly dressed in guy mood and wearing black not to tight girl jeans and black swead three inch heel boots under my pants. And I do walk fine in boots. Before I left home the mirror said I looked nice and passable and the boots blended well with the jeans. Upon entering the mall the mall copy stared at my boots and I knew he knew. A hundred feet later I passed another mall cop and he also did a double take at me in girl boots. While standing at the rail looking down a thirty year old woman walked up to within four feet of me, deliberately stopped and stared at my boots and then gave me an eyeball to eyeball stair. During the thirty minutes I was walking the mall probably half of the people I passed looked at my boots and then at me. I still don't get it, I know the mall wasn't crowded that time of the morning so it was easy to notice me without crowds of people around me but I was shocked to such a reaction. What happened to people caught up in their own thing, they don't notice, acceptance is starting. Now I'm wondering do I take my boots out of the house?
I did go in a PayLess and try on some pumps, the S.A. acted just like I was just another customer. So where are we; REALLY????
