I just had my first shoe shopping expedition a few minutes ago at Payless. (see http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...30#post1594830). I was in drab and no-one gave me a second look. The cashier even asked me if i wanted any "accessories - socks, stockings, perhaps a purse?" He seemed totally sincere and not at all making fun of me or anything like that. I'm hooked, now. Watch out, bank account!!!
