A Surprising Event Continued

As mentioned in my earlier post, when I booked the hotel room I was referred to in the feminine and as Aurora all through the phone conversation which made me feel very good.

On my arrival at the hotel, I was greeted with the same hospitality as everyone else. I booked in with my new credit card bearing my name 'Aurora Eden'. This was accepted without any drama and I signed the registration forms the same way. I would think they compared my signature on the forms with the one on the back of the credit card.

After that, whenever I left or returned to the hotel the staff at the front desk would greet me as Aurora and one of the young women in particular was always keen to delay me for a chat.

One of the staff in the breakfast dining room complimented me on my outfits. Riding in the elevator, more than one woman admired my nails.

All in all my experience at the hotel was very good. I didn't notice any strange looks or hear any negative comments.

The town where I stayed is one where I go for days out quite often so the staff at the restaurants and places of business I go to already know me.

One day, I went into the city to a bookstore on one of the busiest avenues. Walking along the avenue in the bustling crowds, no-one took any particular attention to me.

I have been in the bookstore before in guy mode. Fairly recently as well. The owner is from Kent in England and what he doesn't know about books I suspect is not worth knowing.
I am certain that he recognised me, in particular as I was buying signed copies of books by the same author as the time before. In that bookstore there is no used in being in a hurry because the owner engages his customers in lengthy conversations. Anyway, although I am sure he recognised me, he never so much as batted an eyelid (as 'they' say) even though now I was wearing a skirt outfit, make-up and had shoulder length hair.

The following day I went to the other side of the city to a dressmakers where I am having a pleated skirt made. I had an appointment to try it on before the dressmaker makes the final adjustments.
She also spoke again of the material that the skirt is made of and how a plain skirt would also look good on me. She said that I have good legs and a short black skirt would go with any outfit.
So then, I am having two skirts made, one pleated with the hem just above the knee and one plain with the hem at mid-thigh.

All in all, I had a really enjoyable time and it felt good to be Aurora from morning to night.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this brief resume of an enjoyable holiday.
