In light of getting my first wig and successful first attempt at makeup, I decided to tackle that last hurdle. Going out en femme.

I did my makeup again today, exactly like I did yesterday. Not the time to experiment. Then I went to the market in town. After taking a deep breath, I got out of the car and walked proudly in to the store. I bought a lottery ticket, wandered around the store for a little while ”shopping” then left. On the way out I got a big smile from a young man.

Then I headed back up to the lake, and out for a what I call "a dam walk." It was a little chilly, so I didn't walk the whole dam, just far enough to take a selfie so I have proof I was out in the wild. Hopefully the first of many times.

The most stressful part of the outing, was driving out of the neighborhood. The busybody of the neighborhood had her garage open and I was worried she would try to stop me to ask a question. I'm on the HOA board so she does that from time to time. Luckily she wasn't out.

Way to go Stephanie! It must have felt delightful. I bet it won't be long before you are out again. I'm so impressed and envious.

@astrosteve You are very brave. I do not have the nerve to go out alone. I am sure you presented yourself very well and it sound as if nobody "read" you.

@astrosteve That was a huge first walk, and now we can’t wait to see the selfie.

Fantastic, Stephanie! I have to say, you're a braver woman than I, to go into a shop on your first ever time outside the house. Well done!

Did your lottery numbers come up?

@jacquelinelarkspur I just figure, what the heck, you only live once. I've been out before but never with makeup and a wig, just as a man in a skirt, so this was actually a little easier.

Tonight is the lotto drawing, so fingers crossed.  @

Well done Stephanie it is very confidence boosting most people are not out and about trying to spot a crossdresser, the vast majority of people will just smile and not give a second thought. Some nice people will try to speak if you do meet an A***hole don't react just smile your not bothered.

Happy for you. 
Trust me, you will get better at it and it will get much easier. 
My best advice is stop worrying about others. If you are satisfied that’s enough. O

That was great start for you Stephanie. I expect the dam to burst from now on as the confidence soars.

I agree with Roberta, it will get easier, and the more you do it and get comfortable the less you worry about others, and then it becomes even easier.

Well done Stephanie 🙂  I love reading accounts of first trips out en femme to somewhere busy, I have yet to muster up the courage myself ... hopefully this year ...

So happy for you Stephanie. It is sure something to brave going out in public for the first time.
