"Pardon me, Miss . . . "

I had one day to get out - not even a whole day, a mere 5 hours - so I decided to make the most of it. Being a Sunday, I went with the "I just came out of chuch and am running a few errands before going home" look.

The weather is starting to turn "Autumnal" here, so some grey L'Eggs Sheer Energy pantyhose were the perfect choice. *FOOTNOTE about this top (which would make it more of a "Top Note", I guess) In real life it is a nice shade of forest green, but in photos it can appear every color from brown to grey to beige! Go figure.

I went to Costco and Wal*Mart -- I know, real High Class shops, eh? As I was leaving Wal*Mart, walking toward my car, a gentleman was approaching me. As we got closer he stopped and asked if he could compliment me on my appearance. He said something about looking classy - I cannot recall his exact words because as soon as he started talking to me I was in a pink fog. This man was actually complimenting my appearance! ~~ sigh ~~ Then he said, "May I ask you a personal question?" ---- I was ready. "Are you a cross dresser?"

Oh well. I said yes, and he shared that he is also a cross dresser. We talked about fashion, starting a support group in Spokane, and like that. Then I asked the question I always wanted to ask, "What gave it away?" He thought about it and was hesitant - even after I said I really wanted his honest opinion. He said that it was the make up. From a distance, my posture, my walk, my mannerisms all said "Woman", but my make up was more than the average cis gender woman uses these days. ~~ double sigh ~~

It's nice that he then shared about his make up experience, how when he had a make over the gal suggested the make up air brush and how that was what helped him turn the corner. It covers without the heavy look. Hmmmmm - as an actor I've been "sprayed" before - for TV commercials and movies and like that - but I have never considered purchasing one for Julie. Maybe that will be my next Beauty Investment. Probably a lot cheaper than electrolosis, too! (giggle)

So, until next time, Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties!
