Hi everybody,
I was having a conversation with one of the ladies on this forum about goals in CD. I didn't realize that my 'goal' was the "Aha" moment. That is to say, that instant in time when you look in the mirror and see someone else looking back. I guess it's a time of total convergence, when your makeup, hair, wardrobe, and attitude all meet up in total agreement. An epiphany of sorts.
Well, my "Aha" moment happened last night! And I owe it all to the woman in the cosmetics dept. at the Walgreen's I stopped at to pick up some lip liner. Her makeup was flawless, and I just came out and asked her for suggestions about what I could do for my look. Yes, I outed myself to a complete stranger! And it felt good!!! Anyway, she recommended some products, and told me that she would gladly do a makeover on me, if I'd like. Since I was unshaven, in boy mode, I told her that we could set something up for this coming week.
So I got home, shaved, etc., and got busy. When I got done, with everything, I turned and did a quick reveal pose in the mirror. I had no idea who it was that was looking back at me!! My oh my! My eyes were still a mess, but everything else was nearly perfect. I was having a hard time holding back the tears, as I was so elated. After I calmed myself, it was time for pictures of some of the new things I bought over the last few weeks (including a new wig.) I really wished that I would have had someplace to go, and now I have to hope I can do it again.
