Wow, I let this one go didn't I? But, I assure you, for some decent reasons.
So since that trip prep, lets see...I was in Texas..then vacation, then sick, then in Texas again, and now here. some stuff skipped over, but lets get into it, shall we?
The first TX trip? Yes, I did go to storage and half my suitcase was Jamie's clothes. yes, i dressed up. i tried to find a hair place to cut my wig, that didn't happen. I did find a lane bryant and they had a younger woman who was super super awesome and i got some nice stuff.
my big moment? i got dressed-jeans, top, shoes, wig-everything but the makeup and nails and such. And took a drive for the better part of two hours to Buccees. In my shyness and given i know TX has an iffy rep, I did take the wig off when i went in. but i def got looks because this girl had boobs.
downside? i did meet someone on a certain male centric mostly hookup app. thought he would be nice, he was not. nothing bad happened, but as soon as we met, there wasnt a click and he was NOT picking up my body language at all.
beyond that, the first texas trip was fun.
then we went on a family vacation, got covid and was basically out of commission for July.
then, back to texas--different part. same plan though, i ran to storage the day i flew, filled half my suitcase with Jamie's clothes and went on my way. but i had a mission or three. first, i knew there was a torrid and a lane bryant. i like shopping, what can i say. but, i also found several wig places, and even in some more conservative spots, they were cool. and...i decided to give waxing a try. then i thought i was going to back out, but then when i decided to cancel, i could not, so i went.
hurt a touch, but nice. made it a nice monday evening, went there, then as luck would have it both stores were right there. LB was a bust, nothing i liked and cranky old dusty women. but i went to torrid, not needing a blessed thing, and it was empty and they had a sale AND there was a girl there, named jamie too, and she was super super chill. i did wish she'd call me, i did call her to thank her for her pajama recommendations. spent like an hour hanging with her, made my night-even counting the wax. tho i must say, waxed and then wearing my nicer undies was an amazing feeling, felt very feminine just going out of the wax place (and the waxer was like a whole new therapist. she was awesome).
the rest of the trip was sadly a bust. tried to meet some peeps, but too many were all talk. did get to a wig place, got some professional advice. downside it was more for older women/breast cancer type needs, so she had nothing on hand for me...but i did get recommendations of brands, what i was looking for, and realize why i will need to spend ~400 on a good one. she also thinks i should go blonde, but we shall see.
and that brings us to about now. after the 2nd trip, things have wound down for the summer-kids started college on monday, little guy goes back next week, its a whole bunch of craziness. but i do have more trips coming in the next couple weeks, so more time to dress and have adventures...i do believe next is either the pricier wig, and/or a makeup session. maybe both. the wig blew me away, to be honest (outside of her putting a gray one on me), because she put it on, and while the sample was too snug, once she put it on, i had no hair in my face, no issues, nothing moved and it looked real. so...winning.
