Fake It Til You Can Get Out And About For Real Again

 

Previously on Julie Out And About - I have been out of town for a month now - and due to my work/living situation, Julie had to stay behind in WA. 

Being an actor, I know the power of "let's pretend". Or, as some say, the "fake it til you make it" attitude. Well, I have been trying to keep MY attitude rose colored, but it hasn't been easy. Walking around NYC, all I can think about is how I'd enjoy it SO much more if I was dressed pretty.

What's a girl to do? Grin and bear it, I guess. Try to occupy my mind with other stuff and not dwell on it. But when I see women walking down 8th Avenue in GORGEOUS outfits, when I hear their heels click-clacking across 42nd Street, it becomes VERY disheartening. It makes me think, "when will I be able to let Julie Out and About again?" (well, I know when that may be, because I get back home January 5th, but you know what I mean)

Time for a photo

So I will continue on, trying to enjoy this chapter of my life/career without letting my Lack Of Pretty interfere. But it sure ain't easy.

OH! I almost forgot . . . 

I have been occupying my mind by entering a contest! It's called Fab Over 40, and thus far I've made the cut through 4 rounds of voting. If you'd like to help me move forward, it only takes 30 seconds of your time. Just go here and cast your free vote, and help a gal forget about her troubles.

Until I can put on the hose and heels again, Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.

National Girls Night Out - A Pictoral Essay

Image
 Well, not ENTIRELY pictoral . . .  It was a Tuesday night, and I was alone - so maybe more appropriately called A Girl's Night Out.  But I made the most of it. I walked around downtown, visited a few of our classier hotels, but didn't meet anyone who offered to buy me a drink. (sigh) I felt beautiful, and had to assume it was true since no one complimented me, or even spoke to me. Oh well, maybe NEXT year. Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.

Who Was That Lady?

Image
For those of you still using Facebook, you know it can be a rather interesting forum. Questions get posed, statements made, arguments inflamed. Recently I posted one of my "I Love Dressing" Memes that stated, "I'm a straight male. I just have a feminine side, and I'm really comfortable with that". A friend asked me to elaborate on that statement, so I composed this response to him. I hope this not only informs but possibly assists someone who may be going through a similar journey. " As you pointed out, I said I identify as a Hetero Male To Female Crossdresser. By this, I mean I am a genetic male, attracted to genetic females. You asked if I was also attracted to trans women - that gets difficult to reply to. I am married and faithful, so I wouldn't have sexual relations with anyone other than my Darling Wife. I have never found myself (knowingly) attracted to a trans woman. However, I do appreciate the female form and figure. As I tell people to w...

At Long Last Loved Getting Out

Image
They say "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait". Well, I waited, and it was . . . . pretty good. It would have been better if I had someone to share it with, but I got out and that's the important thing. Getting the house to myself is always the hardest part, and that I did. Which allowed me to get ready at my leisure.  I got home from work at 5 and started the Julie-fication Process. The Outfit Of The Evening I ultimately changed shoes - and hair - before going out.  As we are now a 1 car household I was relegated to the bus and walking. Not that I don't like those transportation methods, but it does limit my options for where to go. Just another lady on the bus My neighbor - a friend but very conservative - was not at home, so walking out the front door wasn't a problem. To the bus stop, then to one of our newer shopping areas - Kendall Yards. I wasn't sure what time places closed there on a Thursday, but I took my chances. Turns out most of the shops closed a...
