Biggest Embaressment while out en femme

[SarahHall]

About I month ago I took a weekend cruise that left from my hometown. I had my own room with a private balcony. I bought a pink nighty and matching panties and a pair of soft pink mary jane pumps with 3 1/2' heels. The first night I had an early dinner and went back to my room and wanted to enjoy some time on the balcony. I got dressed and laid out on the lounge chair. I decided to paint my toenails and it took about an hour for them to dry. I slipped on my mary jane pumps and was heading back into my room when I came upon the room attendent. I couldn't hear her come in or knock and she didn't know I was on the balcony. She had turned down the bed and in I came alldressed in pink. She smiled and left.

I was going to work one day and I was underdressing to a degree. I had on my forms a nice top, tight jeans and 4 in black pumps, no make up, no wigs or anything. I stopped to get gas pulled the keys out and then opened my bag to get out my credit card to pay for the gas. I got the card jumped out closed the door and as it was shutting I remembered that I didn't have the key. I managed to keep the door from fully locking and closing tightly. I was there in drab neck up and fab neck down. I went inside the convenience store associated with the service station to see if they had a hanger or anything like that and of course they didn't, I spent the next hour or so asking strangers if they had a hanger or something and finally, help came from one of the hardest looking brothers I had ever seen. He had a one of those slim jim tools and was able to get me in my truck. This was very embarassing.

. . . finally, help came from one of the hardest looking brothers I had ever seen. . .

Another one of my embarassing moments was getting my truck stuck on a curb. The guy that helped pull me off (at great risk to his own truck) was clearly a cowboy / "redneck" type. One of the those you might expect to go get a rope to hang me and yet he was kind and helped. I'd say we should never make assumptions about folks 'cause you just never know. :-)

My sympathy Kim. My daughter also had her car towed in Washington DC.

My experience. I had my wig in a bag. I bought a complete femme outfit from a nice lady at a Salvation Army store for my "Halloween costume". Panties, pantyhose, half slip, bra, blouse, skirt suit, earrings, necklace, purse, heels. She put my boy clothes in a bag. I put on my wig and paid and left. Very nervous, but got brave and went for a brief walk in nearby mall. I heard a giggle and a strong clearing of throat. I looked and a woman was pointing at me--sort of down low. My half slip had fallen down to my knees.

Years ago I went to a Wal-Mart dressed in a blue dress and the SA girls were talking and looking at me pretty hard.

Last fall, I had just purchased the cutest pair of Jean at Fred Meyer (a chain store here in the NW). After purchasing them I just had to try them on. I went to the ladies room, pulled the tags off, keeping them in my purse just in case they questioned me on my way out. They fit like a second skin....anyway. I decided to go see what WalMart had on sale. I went about my business, had no problems, the SA girls were great and helpful. I did find a couple items, and went up to the front to pay. As I was paying the clerk asked if I had a receipt for the jeans I was wearing....
I had cleaned out my purse a while before and could not find the receipt from the other store. She was not going to let me leave until I could prove to her that I had bought them somewhere else. So off to the car to see if I can find anything. I do find the tags that I took off of them that had the UPC bars on it, no receipt. I took that back into her and she scanned it, and it came up as unknown.....thank goodness, I then asked her what made her think I may have not paid for them. She told me that there was still that clear size sticker on the back of the leg.

In the end though, she treated me very well. Looking back she was simply doing her job. I was honest with her and things worked out. Not sure what would have happened if I had thrown the tags away.....

until my next "moment"

Several months ago while dressed and at a club, I managed to lock my keys in the car. The people at the club were very helpful and I wound up having to get a cab to take me home to get the spare keys. On the way over the driver said that he had always been interested in trannies. Needless to say, he got a different type of tip!

OUCH!

You know, I've been heckled a few times, stumbled in my heals in the early days, had clothing or other things come "un-tucked" while out, I've even been extremely drunk, dancing with garland around my head on New Years Eve, but I can't say I've ever been truly embarrassed or intimidated.

My biggest shame was one time forgetting to pay my bar tab at the hotel one night out with the SISTERS of Boston. No biggie, since as soon as I got home I e-mailed my friend who lived in the area and had her take care of it for me. I paid them back the following week. It was really just a simple human mistake, and had nothing to do with being dressed.

That's about it. No big embarrassments. I've always been one for whom if things got messed up a little, just smile and press on.

My most embarrassing moment was when I answered the door, expecting a friend, to find two policemen wanting to talk to me and my son. I was wearing 3" pumps, fem jeans, forms and a sweater. I had to stand there and talk to them for about half an hour but they were very professional about it and never said anything to me but commented on my shoe selection to my son when they had him in the car.

I think I've posted about this in another place in this forum, but in short I was a victim of the old 'failed to notice my skirt tucked up in my PH' trouble after using the ladies room in a Kohls.

The skirt I was wearing was so light and flowing that even though I'd tried to be extra careful to make sure everything was as it should be, I returned to the store and was browsing for at least 15 minutes in the women's section before a kind lady came up to me and whispered to me that I needed to 'fix' something.

Now I didn't know HOW many people noticed as I shopped, but were too embarrased to come up to me to say anything! Oh well, at least I had nice panties on that day... (Out of curiosity, I 'recreated' the issue in front of a mirror when I got home so I could see just how bad things had been. Lets just say that anybody who had seen me would have easily been able to describe the lace and flower pattern on my panties as seen through the sheer nude PH...)

I've had a 'close call' with this a few other times, but always corrected things before being seen. There is just something about a really light full skirt that makes it difficult to know for SURE if things are as they should be if there is no mirror around to double-check.

To make up for it, something NICE happened within a few days of this incident. I was in a Target clothing store (en femme) and had a few items I wanted to try on. The woman at the changing room glanced at me as I walked toward her with a skirt and dress in my hands, gave me a tag from the woman's side of the dressing rooms, then waved me back into the woman's changing area.

I think I carried off the entire trip to the changing room, plus trying on several items and giving the ones that didn't fit back the the attendant, without her ever 'reading' me, since she treated me just like any other GG in the changing rooms. I really don't think I would have been sent to the busy woman's side of the changing rooms if she had read me.

My second moment that I don't want to ever repeat was entirely my fault. I went out for a walk downtown on a fall day and really shouldn't have been wearing the skirt I had on. In general, the wind wasn't too bad, but once I got onto 'main street' with its tall buildings and narrow road, the wind turned into a gale. I was wearing a knee-length pleated skirt that had a lot of movement to it... and boy did it MOVE! Every time the wind came across the road and hit the building I was walking next to, it went UP... and so did my skirt! At one point, I did a real Marylin Monroe and could see the hem of my skirt floating at chest level with me trying as hard as I could to fight it back down (while holding a coffee in one hand and my purse in the other).

By the time I knew I was in trouble, I was already at least half-way down the block so had not choice but to continue on then find a quieter less windy street for the trip back, which meant going several blocks out of my way. It made my one block stroll into something more like a mile walk (in 3" heels and plenty of stops on park benches to let my feet rest) before I got back to the car, but at least I avoided a repeat of the wind tunnel!

By the time I got back to the car, I was getting pretty good at grabbing the hem of my skirt and holding it down at the first sign of a gust of wind... a skill that comes in handy for every girl at some point!

Thanks for all your replies and it helps me to watch out for all the pitfalls while out en-femme.

Hi girls want to know what your biggest embaressment has been when you have been out en-femme. No such embaressment yet no know doubt it will happen.

When I was in the changing room at the local Wal mart, trying on a few skirts and blouses, the door lock was loose or broken, and usually the sales ladie is near by but they had changed the area around, well this ladie opened the door and Im standing there in panties and a bra and my46 boobs, she was startled and appoligiezed, I just smiled too myself,when I was leaving she again said sorry, I just nodded and as I was leaving she told me that the panties and bra looked real nice, and good luck with your cloths. made my day, Charolette

While vacationing in las vegas I had a make over and then my wife and I went thru New york new york and several other casinos. Very High traffic.
I must have thick skin.

That evening on our way back to the room nature called and I ran into the girls room at a burger king. As I was opening the door an employee was walking out. Me being the linebacker girl that i am she read me. I was already sitting down doing my business when a female manager barges in and screams "is there a man in the ladies room" several times. I couldn't stop doing what I was doing till I was done and couldn't reply do to the lack of a fem voice.

I finished as quickly as I could and opened the door and she realized I was a crossdresser. I appologized and tried to leave but she reminded me to wash my hands!!

I find being read in public embarrassing, and luckily that is the worst that has ever happened...

But the most aggravating event is being caught by teenagers buying something femme when in drab. They show no mercy. The younger generation really cannot brag about being tolerant it appears, though I am sure they do. Old fogeys are if anything more tolerant, and occassionally even put them to shame in comparison.

Amen to that! Teenage girls show NO mercy!

[Emily Anderson]

Not en femme, but as a result of having recently been en femme...

I was at a hamburger restaurant, and after taking a bite of the burger I suddenly noticed that I was leaving bright red lipstick marks on the bun!

Strangely, nobody had given me any funny looks before I noticed it myself...

[mike47]

That would be hard to say. There have been alot actually. I seem to get over it though. Probably the way people that you know seeing you and reconizing you. Especially co-workers. So far so good though.

No offence, Michelle, but I've just got this image of a hillbilly gal spittin' into a bucket, with that 'ting' noise accompanying it! Was the trucker jealous of the distance covered??

Just last Thursday I was having coffe at my neighborhood Starbucks. I was dressed in a T and capri pants. Very simple and very proper. I was enjoying the brew and reading the paper when out of nowhere my hand catches my coffee and knocks it all over the table and to the floor. Gosh I felt like such a klutz. A nice guy sitting alone behind me said "I'll get someone to clean it up" I thanked him and waited for what seemed like an eternity. No one showed up so I decided to go to the ladies room and try to repair some of the damage to my hose and shoes.

Got to the rest rooms and the ladies room was occupied. I waited in the hall and in a minute the store cleaning lady came to my rescue and told me to go ahead and use the mens room. Boy did that feel wierd. I thanked her, apologized for making the mess, did my business and proceeded to leave the shop.

As I was walking down the sidewalk pondering my stupid mistake, I am surprised by the same cleaning lady. She was so kind. She wanted to be sure that everything was OK and that I had not burned myself on the coffee. What a sweet lady!!

A very pleasant end to an embarassing incident.

[Zina]

It happened on one of the first times I went out fully dressed. I was driving around having a great time. Then I realized that I had driven too long and was almost out of gas. It was about 2:00 am when I had to stop.

I pumped the gas and went inside to pay. My heart was pounding. The cashier was a young lady and she was very nice. She even said I "looked cute". I loved it. I even stayed in the store for a few minutes to get something to drink.

One night I was walking around the outside of a resort hotel and a guy started following me and called out "Excuse me, ma'am" . I began to run and he called me to stop. I relpied in my male voice "What do you want" as I kept running. He soon stopped chasing me. Could have been a lot worse.

I think my biggest embarasment so far has been when I was first going out with my wife. We were at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and went into the ladies room. I had just started using hip padding and wasn't used to it. As I started undoing things the pads, quite large, flew out and landed on the floor of the stall next to me. Luckily my wife was in that one and I grabbed them before anyone outside noticed. Just then a busload of ladies entered the room and were very noisey and waiting for open stalls. I wasn't able to do anything anyways so hurredly stuffed everything back in place and left. I'm much more adept now at balancing hip pads and bottom pads while using the facilities!

A run in a new pair of pantyhose. A REAL bummer. Had to go into a store I never been in before to buy another pair. Salesperson about fainted when I asked to use a dressing room to change

[tamarav]

Man, that's hard to top! Post a pic of how you looked in the Pic Section!

Me, my most embarrassing moment occurred only when I got read by guys and laughed at. Give em a good laugh and it's harmless!

What did you do when they laughed. I probably would've cried.
