Took Another Shopping Trip Again

I guess it's true when they say it's easier each time you do it. I first went to the lingerie/adult store and looked around. The same girl who checked me out last time was there. I looked around at all the store departments and finally decided to get this cute white babydoll. Right when I was making sure I didn't want something else some old guy who probably owns the store tried to help me out. He asked me if it was for my wife or girlfriend. Let's just say I didn't tell him the truth.

So I check out and decide to head down to the mall. It was early so there would be less people. So walk in the side where I always go and near it is Victoria's Secret. I was kinda worried because it's my town and someone might notice. Even if you get checked out without being seen, you still have to carry the bag all the way to your car, and everyone knows what VS bags look like even though this one was a different colored holiday theme I think.

So I take a look around me as I walk down to VS. Don't really see anyone I know. So I decided to say "what the hell" and barge on in. First people I see are the sales girl (who was pretty hot and had a nice skirt on) who was helping out a guy and girl. She was asking them if they needed a size fit, and she agreed and went off the dressing room.

So I take a walk around I'm dissapointed by the lack of cute babydolls and chemises around me. Though I did see a french maid teddy thing that was ultra cute, but it was too expensive. So since I didn't see anything I wanted within price range I decided to get some panties since I could use some more, but then again that's always my excuse. I ended up getting 2 bikinis and 3 thongs from the VS undies collection. Good thing they have little drawers to sort this stuff out by size.

I end up taking my panties in hand and look for one of the sales girl. The one who eventually checked me out kinda scared me because for a moment I thought I knew her, but as I got closer I could tell I didn't.

I check out and get the bag and hurry to my car. I luckily didn't see anyone I knew or at least I don't think so. So I get in the car and head home.

Sad thing is that they're still in my car I have to go get them when my mom leaves for work. The good side is that VS is giving out special cards that will give you 10 to 500 dollars off any purchase Dec 1 to Dec 24. So I'l be back on Dec 1 either online or retail and I'll have a heart attack if I got one of the 500 cards. Can't imagine how much lingerie that could buy me :D

Malls can be very intimidating at first but they do hold a lot of nice shops!

You will reach a point where it is easy to walk in and buy what you need without any fear at all.

Love ya,

Lingerie... I would spend all day shopping for it if I had the courage to enter a store like Victoria's secret...not to mention, the MONEY. My wardrobe is malnourished due to a lack of money.

Congratulations on being brave like that though! My therapist once told me that the things that can get you are things that happen that are UNEXPECTED. Like, a nice sales person asking you if you have found everything alright. Even positive things that are unexpected can be very startling.

In conclusion, good going girl!

it's scary but once you get in there, it's not so bad. Especailly since (at least mine) had a lot of the store blocked off by walls so I was able to pick panties out with practically nobody around. Too bad they had most of the sexy store near the front door.

I still can't wait to see that little Secret card's discount amount. It's worth at least ten dollars which makes me want to buy even more VS stuff since you get one with every purchase.

Hi Amy :)

Yes, lingerie is fun to buy. Gosh do I know. You know what is just so wonderful wearing with your panties? Dresses, skirts, blouses, shoes!!!

VS has just wonderful skirts and dresses too. Also their pants are awesome. Believe it or not, but a nice fitting pair of women's slacks really is a wonderful feeling.

HUGS

Up to a few months ago I could only dream of going into stores like that. I used to dream all the time, but I would always be too scared to go into it. Then eventually during one dream, I managed to go into a lingerie store, and as soon as I got in looking around and picked up something, my mom came in the door of the store.

Good thing that never happened in real life.

Now that I have gone into stores like that, I've never had those dreams anymore.

Well, I went ouit shopping to pick up some stuff like female razors, makeup, and stuff to make me look more girl like and did not feel scared or anything. But then of course I used the self checkout line which was a big help where there was no one checking me out and I did not feel self consincense.

But well talk to you all

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
