My Wig Adventure - Part Ii

Persistence pays off.

The last time I posted on this topic, I mentioned that the wig store proprietor told me "absolutely not"

when I asked her if she would allow a TG person to browse through her merchandise.

Not to be put off for long, I found a wig store in an area of town that I thought would be more trans friendly.

I was not disappointed. I got to the shop just as the young proprietor was opening up. She asked what I

was looking for, and after I explained, she offered her assistance to find the perfect wig. She

suggested styles, lengths and colors that would go well with my facial type and coloring (I have a

reddish complexion). I tried on 4-5 and settled on one that I thought was just right.

It looks very similar to this: http://www.wigs.com/product_info.php?cPath...products_id=444

The young lady was totally professional, treated me with the utmost respect, and showed me how to

care for the wig and how to put it on and style it. I assured her it would not be my last visit to her store.

What a great experience. OK, I have to admit that, looking in the mirror, I thought I looked silly. But what

would you expect with no makeup and the wrong clothes??? It's a start, right?

Anyway, I had fun! :):) What more could one ask for?

Congratulations on finding a good wig store and one that is open to helping everyone. That one looks very nice. How many other styles did they have?

They probably had over 100 different styles, and they would trim them if you wanted, and if you wanted one

in a color they didn't have in stock, they would order it. Really great service.

Hi Carolyn,

Congrats on your new purchase! I am glad you found a place where you feel comfortable and they treat you with respect. Nice job on not getting discouraged after your first attempt. I hope you work out the make up soon - i would also love to see a pic!!

      Decided I am going to my boyfriend's family get together tommorrow.He has family members that have not met me yet and do know about me.

      April, that is def good advice. I have had some really bad experiences with a therapist in the past. She way violated my trust. That caused a massive amount of damage to every corner of my life. Truthfully, because of that i have alot of deep seeded trust issues. I'm not sure i could ever go back to therapy. You are of coarse right, therapy would help, suppose its a matter of finding the right one and learning how to trust again.

      I look for purses with a shoulder strop that goes across the body. I also like many pockets. But one purse is not enough. I like purses that are artistic and make a statement about my personality. It doesn't have to be flamboyant, but matches my character. I also need a purse when I want to blend in and not be noticed so easily. One that won't draw attention to me when I don't desire it.

      I hadn't thought of a hat! The dress is really comfortable.

      What if a social media platform giant, (we all know its name) on devices we own, is held responsible for creating rules to intentionally target our community? for political reasons?

      Hi Carolyn, I thought Macy was going out of business?

      Well just got back back from a visit to our oldest and family. It was nice having my granddaughter snuggle up to me on the couch. Gave me a big hug when we went over yesterday. Spent all day yesterday with them.  I envy my granddaughter, being able to grow up a girl. Something I wish I got to do.    Hugs, Kymmie

      Wow.  Sounds terrible.  Stay safe yourself.

      I hope our members from the Mid-South are doing OK today.  A lot of places had a real disaster overnight.  Tornadoes dropped all over, through Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee.  Lots of damage, and many people missing.  Pray for those involved, and that there won't be another wave of it tonight.   My county was spared almost all of it, but a neighboring county was hit hard.  Our Defense personnel were mobilized this morning to assist with access control, because all their local LEOs are needed for search and rescue.  No idea of how many are injured and missing, but there have been several deaths.  We may not know for weeks.  Rural areas here have a lot of shacks and trailer houses, and most people were asleep because it hit at the worst time - early morning on a Sunday during a holiday weekend.  Tornado hit a retirement home, and lots of elderly folks were hurt bad.  There was no forecast for this, and little if any warning.      Electrical outage is widespread, and it has been followed by a really hot, humid day.  Heat index is around 115 - it's killer heat.  I went out with my husband this morning, since everybody with a CDL was needed for a convoy.  I'm back home now, since I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night.  He'll probably be there overnight, and GF is there also helping with mechanical issues.  They've converted a big Baptist church into a community shelter for people who have lost their homes, and set up a generator and AC.  I'll probably go back tomorrow to help some more, as they're working on setting up a kitchen...nobody wants to eat MRE's forever.    They're getting no help from the state at all yet.  Governor didn't bother to declare an emergency until this afternoon!   The National Guard hasn't been activated either.  If it wasn't for Defense personnel, there'd be gawkers and looters. Its ridiculous, like only the cities matter.  Two rural towns literally no longer exist - its like a bulldozer a half-mile wide went through.  I've seen tornado damage before, but this is the worst.  Its just heartbreaking to look at it.
