I'll be visiting LA, where I am hoping I will have more success going out enfemme than where I live in Calgary. I decided I need to buy a few things for my first excursion out so I went shopping tonight. No one seemed to mind me in the clothing stores and were generally very helpful (thinking I was buying a gift I am assuming). I went into a shoe store where I found a pair of shoes I could wear with a pair of jeans; I really wanted the shoes but it was a clearance store ie no returns, so I decided I have to try them on. I asked the clerk ( a young girl) to come over and told her I wanted to try them on behind one of the stacks (the store was almost closing) Well she looked at me as if I was from another planet, and kept asking why? (She was oriental and her english was not all that good)Why would you want to try these on she asked as she looked at me incredulously? Well they kind of fit so I took them, and the other two girls at the counter didn't say a thing. I heard them giggle when I walked out.
Funny thing is I didn't really care much this time. But I guess the moral of the story is we are not accepted everywhere... some places more than others. I also think young girls and seniors have the hardest time accepting us. A lot of 30 to 50 women don't seem to care.
Well thats my adventure for the night. I hope I have better experiences in LA. By the way if anyone has any suggestions where to shop in LA, I would appreciate it. Does anyone think I could go into a Macy'e enfemme?
Hugs all
Jen
