My first thoughts?? probably the same as now.. I can't remember the first time I dressed up and looked in the mirror.. but I took pictures of myself dressed up and was surprised at what I saw.. not in a bad way nessesarilly but wasn't sure what I looked like.. I saw myself different then what I do look like.. I'm not dissapointed either but wish I could do makeup better to enhance my rough looks and transform to a moderately fem looking guy..
