Went out Oct. 14th...

Oh Hell YES!

I managed to get out once again on Saturday last (11/14/09). I got a later start than I wanted, but I acceded to the wife's wishes for socializing prior to my dressing (what can you do?) I was finally ready about 9:30pm (after trying on various outfits and wigs), but I still had to do the nails. I finally left around 10:30pm, and had a photo taken by the wife before I left (uncluttered background settings were extremely limited). I stopped to buy gas on the way, and was eye-balled by a number of (male) patrons.

I arrived at Gigi's around 10:45pm, and got a prime parking spot. I went in, paid only for upstairs and sashayed my way in. I saw many of my friends immediately- Tracy, Debbie, Brandie, Leah, Jacki, Chrissy, Laurie Beth and Anton. I ordered a ginger ale, and said hi to those I recognized. Other gurls who walked in (or came up from the show) were Wendy Seymone, Megan (finally in gurl mode), Jaye Marie, Brian, Angela, Tammy Brianne and a few gurls I've talked to before, but don't remember their names. Russ was spinning the tunes I could dance to, so I did! Once the music got too young for me, I circulated around, chatting up many of the ladies. Apparently there was a 'tour'group there, and someone with a boat air horn kept calling the missing people for departure- What a distraction AND a headache! Jaye introduced me to a gorgeous gal I hadn't seen before, and who I can't recall her name (damn my failing memory). I hung around till closing and left before the moment of truth (when the lights come on, and you find out if your make-up cuts it or not).

I got home around 2:25am, and the wife was already in bed. I cleared a spot in our living room so I could take some pictures (and a video or two as well). I shot for almost 45 minutes, and decided to try on the Star Trek "Uhura" dress I bought for Halloween. It was a tight fit, but I still love it (I'm going to get a custom made one by next Halloween). A dozen more photos in different wigs, and settings (outdoor) before I filled the memory card. Since it was way after 4:00am, I reluctantly put away the photo gear and made my change back to male mode, after cleaning up the pile of wigs and clothing I had created!

All in all, it was simply wonderful to dress and get out again. My last outings since May were Hellbound on Oct. 10th, and Gigi's Sept. 19th. I hope to get out on Nov. 28th.(if I'm lucky), which is another Hellbound night. Thanks to all the gurls who welcomed me back- it made all my effort worth it!!!
