Transvestia

I admit I blushed as I put down the letter "F" where sex was to be indicated. The written exam was a snap for me since I had been driving for years.

I followed Mr. Smith to our car and was surprised when he opened the driver's door for me and said, "Please get in Miss, and don't be worried about driving with me. I was not used to this little courtesy nor extra considera- tion for me.

I can still remember has complimenting me after the test by saying I was the best driver he had had that week and "that I drove like a man.

I worked very slowly applying the eyeliner with the fine brush that she had used but the result was worth the extra time it took. I was intrigued by the extension of the liner beyond the eye which made them look larger and more attractive.
