Carol, I can assure you it isnt a nightmare, its so much fun and freedom. If you was out shopping in drab, and you saw what you thought was a man in a dress, would you run across to them stop them and ask "hey man why you wearing a dress !!!" Nope you wouldnt and neither does anybody else, they might glance at you think it, but then just walk on by, I know because I go out shopping in many towns and cities dressed, and that about as bad a nightmare as it gets, 99% of the public will interact with you in a very pleasant way. I was even in Boots makeup last week having my makeup touched up with Helen Highwater and we had an amazing time with the sales assistants (see Helens posts about our adventure out). Its all in the mind, and the more confident you present yourself, the easier it is. But you have to start somewhere with that first step out of the door. When I used to go for a makeover, there was a coffee shop across the road which I used to go to, a little trip out into the public world, but safe enough to scurry back over the road should I lose my bottle. Is that not an option when you have a makeover ? after all you will be feeling a million dollars at that moment and theres no better time to do it.
