Have you ever had a pro pedicure? GET ONE!!!! It was wonderful!!! It did end too soon though. I couldn't sleep I was so excited and scared. This was the first time I would go so far and let the world see Melissa for what she is. I changed outfits in my head a dozen times. I finally decided on my new khaki skorts and a blue polo. I was about to go and changed from the polo to a red t-shirt. I am wearing some new sandals too. They are thongs with a little sparkle on the straps. I just put on a little jewelry. My silver hoops and a couple of silver chains. As the time to go got closer I kept thinking of excuses to not go, but then I thought that this was her livelyhood and I didn't want to hurt her. I grabbed up my purse and left to go show the world Melissa. When I went in the lady at the counter looked at me and ran screaming into the back room. At least that's what I saw in my head. She didn't even blink. I had to wait a few minutes and kept wondering if someone came in what would the reaction be. I was called back before that happened. The nail tech took one look at me and started laughing and pointing. Once again this was all in my head. She was great. We chatted about this and that the whole time like it was no big deal. She soaked my feet and exfoliated them and massaged them, FANTASTIC, and filed them. We did have one little thing when she thought she was done. I had to tell her I wanted color. She hesitated just a second then asked what color I wanted. She uses OPI, which I love, and painted my nails a nice pinkish brown with a little swirling in it. At that point I had to ask if she had ever done other CD's or was I her first. She said she had done a few, some gay. She is one with the misconception that we are all TG. , in a very calm and nice way, told her the truth about us. After a few minutes we were back to normal. She was willing to set up another appointment in 4 weeks, I guess that's the usual wait, but I will have to check my calendar. My work schedule might be a little off next month but I AM going back.
Whew, am I rambling? I am so high from this experience. I now have 2 ladies in the real world who know and don't care.
Wow what a wonderful experience. And a learning one for the young lady who did your pedie. Sounds like a good day all around to me. Cool beans on some pampering and 
on having the courage to go for it. Well done Melissa.
