...and here was the scenario:
My family participated in a rather formal event this past weekend where dressing up for the occasion was pretty much expected. All the ladies were attired in their new spring finery, and dresses, heels, and pantyhose were conspicuous by their nearly universal presence there (how unusual/cool was that?). Next thing I know, my adult daughter takes off her coat immediately upon arrival at the event, only to reveal a dress that everyone "ooh's" and "aah's" over the moment they lay eyes upon it...the (gasp!) exact same dress that I had bought for myself online only a few months ago!
Needless to say, my heart jumped into my mouth at that very moment, temporarily rendering me speechless. On top of that, this also currently happens to be one of my favorite dresses as it fits me like glove, is super comfortable, and being of a bodycon style is also very slimming.
Of course, my daughter still wore it way better than I ever could, and if for no other reason than that she is several dress sizes smaller than me and is in great physical shape. Then again, what's a proper crossdressing Dad to do but smile inwardly after overcoming the initial shock of this visual, and reflect instead on the fact that good taste obviously runs in our family, and that she is a chip off the old block in more ways than she can ever imagine. And clearly, we also shop at the same places as it turns out.
But here's the kicker - after purchasing this dress and falling in love with it the first time I put it on, I wrote a glowing customer review on the company's website using my usual assumed name. This subsequently received several "likes" confirming that other customers had also found my review to be helpful. Of course, this begs the question as to whether or not my daughter unknowingly read the same review at some point, and that it may have played some part in influencing her to buy this dress as well.
As the old radio show would have put it..."Only The Shadow knows..."
