RANSVESTIA

That crash was too much. My girl within at last had a name, now I needed a girl to fit the name. I took some advice from Virginia and threw caution to the wind. My money was as good as anyone elses, I was temporarily located over 700 miles from my home, friends and acquaintances; so who was going to ridicule me or recognize me? I decided to just bust in and ask for what I wanted.

My first step was to get Linda a new wig. I located a wig shop that had a display of styles which I liked and strode bravely in. At that point I began to feel weak kneed. I was approached by a salesman who asked if he could help me. I told him I wanted to buy a wig. He immediately directed me to a display of men's wigs and asked if I saw any I liked. At this point I almost was ready to buy a man's wig that I really didn't want just to get out of this situation. I collected my courage and announced that I wanted a woman's wig, not a man's. The salesman then suggested that I buy a gift certificate instead and allow the lady to come in and make her own choice, which could then be fitted and styled for her.

This was rapidly becoming much more complex than I had originally feared. It's at times like these we often find ourselves saying things we are thinking and not what we normally would have said. Thus I blurted out, "I'm the lady that it's for!" I still can't believe I actually said those words, but the deed was done. I expected to find the salesman in a convulsion of laughter or preparing to boot this pervert out of his establishment.

Instead he smiled and said, "What style and color would you like to try first?" I almost did back flips over that. He brought in several styles and colors, trying each one on me, combing them to fit my face. He made some suggestions as to how different styles would better disguise my height, reshape my face and highlight my skin tone. He also suggested that certain colors and styles would look better with certain clothing designs and colors. I chose two which he combed to my face shape and then made several adjustments in their caps to fit my head. He then instructed me in the care and storage of them and told me that they could be restyled easily if I desired or if they should loose their set. He took my money, thanked me and told me to please come back again.

Wow! was I ever charged up now. Two days earlier I wouldn't even buy my own scarves for my magic hobby for fear of being humiliated
