Rachel, by any chance do you use the Sally Hansen spray called "Airbrush Legs?" I've seen that in the cosmetic aisles of grocery stores. They usually have it in several shades, and the one I'm tempted to try is called "Tan Glow." If you or anyone else reading it has ever tried it, let me know if it's any good. As much as we already have to mess with make-up, nail polish, etc., I'm not in a big hurry to have something else to wash off or take off unless I'm pretty sure it works!Originally Posted by Rachel Morley
Yesterday, I did a little of what jjjjohanne was talking about, wearing fem shoes but otherwise being in guy mode. In my case, it was a polo shirt or something close, ladies' split-side running shorts, and wedge sandals like the one in the pic. I didn't have on hose, but I'd just shaved my legs the night before, and painted my toenails one of those sparkling/glittering red colors I'd found. Even if it weren't for all that, there'd be no question about the sandals obviously being women's to anyone looking, but it seemed hardly anybody did - or let on, anyway! Then again, this was in two grocery stores in a section of town that's mostly Orientals and Hispanics, so even if people noticed, I wouldn't know what they said! Still, I don't think anybody really goes out of their way to look and see what kind of shoes a guy has on, because they're not usually going to be worth noticing.
The only "incident" I had, if you can call it that, was at a Payless store where I stopped on the way home. I went to the women's aisles to see if they had a style I was looking for, either in a 12 wide or a 13, which they didn't, so I left. As soon as I got out the door, the sales lady came outside and asked me if the shoes I had on were mine. (They're a current style Payless sells.) I told here yes, they're a size 13, which they didn't have there. Some Payless stores have a section in that size, but this one didn't. She went back inside and, as far as I know, that was the end of it. Maybe she asked if anyone had noticed if I'd come in the store wearing those. All I know is, if they hadn't noticed what I had on before, I'm sure they did then!
In case anybody DOES say something, asks why you're wearing them, etc., it always helps to have a few "on the fly" answers. "Just breakin' 'em in" is always one, and usually it's the truth! I've got many that I've hardly ever worn. "Just for fun" is another, depending on who's asking. "They looked like they'd go with this outfit" is always a contender. Basically anything that puts them on the spot as to what's their point in asking is usually best.
Anyway, if anyone has tried that "Airbrush Legs" spray, or any other you think is better, let me know. Maybe I'll add that for my next outing, whether it's drag or drab!
