11/14/00 through 1/31/01
There was a series of 4 dress up sessions, I would come home from work, shave and take a shower. I would then dry up and put on make up and powder. I would get my eyes ready and put on lipstick and then do my nails. I usually would be ready by 11pm or so. It would then take me 1 hour or so to get up the nerve to go outside like that. The first time I did it I was chatting with a friend of mine from CA and she said to just do it. So I went out and got my phone out of the car and then I decided to go driving around. I was only gone for 10 or 15 minutes and came back and told her what I did. She was surprised I did it. The next 3 times I went further and the last time I even got out of the car under a bridge and walked around. I was wearing a flowery dress and black heels. That was fun, I love hearing my heels on concrete. I then would go back home and sometimes take a few pictures and I will admit some of them are not that great. I then would take all the makeup off but leave on my corset and put on a red silk nightie and go to bed. I have tried some new make up looks and the last one I purposely put on thick makeup for the slut look even though I had on conservative clothing. Well those times were fun.
Dress up on 2/06/01
This time started out like the above 3 times, getting ready and the fretting at the door wondering if I should go out. This time I chose light make up light on the eyes and a new shade of pinkish purple lipstick and almost the same color nail polish which I think is too light. I then put on some stretch jeans and this new black sequin top and my wig and went out after waiting for almost 2 hours. I chose some white flat shoes and a black jacket and I finally left a little after 2 am and realized I didn't have a lot of gas in the car. Well that is no problem. I had my debit card and some cash on me but the problem was to not go inside to pay. I remembered there was a gas station that was open 24 hours if you had a debit card. I went there but forgot it was next door to a grocery store. I decided to put gas in and some guys started whistling at me. They didn't come over and get a look but they did look my way. I was half way through filling up when they went by but they were about 50 yards away and I noticed they were looking at me again. They kept on going and I finished at that time. I got my receipt and got in and quickly locked the doors. I went out driving more and found another bridge and walked around again, got back in the car and drove some more then came back home. I remembered I had to take a note to the office and went back out dressed like that and took the note to the office and on the way back someone drove into the apartment complex. I stayed behind some cars and waited until they went by. I walked quickly across the driveway and got to my building and went in. I was afraid they would follow me but they didn't. I took some pictures that night and some even with my nightie on and then took off my make up and went to bed. That night ended too soon.
Dressing sessions 02/12/01 till 03/19/01
I had 3 more sessions during this time and also had bought more clothes on ebay. One night I got dressed in a suede black leather skirt and the black sequin top but didn't go out. It was noisy out and on a few occasions I was getting ready to go out but someone would walk by. On another occasion I dressed up in the blue stretch pants and black sequin top and it started pouring down rain so I decided not go to anywhere. I got dressed up in the suede leather skirt and the black sequin top again and took a picture and decided not to go anywhere but I should have since it was really quiet for a Sunday. The next night I wore the same sequin top but with some black chartreuse pants and some white keds type shoes.
Trip to San Antonio, 032401
I dressed up at a motel and this was shortly after I told Sylvia's mom that I dressed, she didn't have a problem with it and we went back to her house to show her mom how I was dressed, they both said I would pass pretty well. Her mom had a blouse she was going to sell and said it was my size and she got it and I tried it on. She said I looked so good in it she decided not to sell it. I took a picture in it and it did look pretty good. Later on she gave the blouse to me for helping her out with groceries or something like that.
More dressing 041001 through 050101
Things got quiet for a bit, I didn't dress up again until 041001, I had a camping trip the weekend before and couldn't do what I wanted. I took some pics in a pair of black shorts, a pink top and no hose and some white flats, then took off the flats and put on the keds type shoes with pink socks. I then changed, put on some white hose and the flowery dress and didn't go anywhere even though I should have since it is quiet but it looks and sounds like it is going to rain. I dressed 2 other times, one time I tried on the dress I would wear to the meeting and other dresses I had but couldn't wear because I didn't have a silky top. I took a few pictures and didn't go out either. I guess my confidence ws shaken because now I can't wear a jacket to cover my arms.
Jessica's first Tri-Ess Meeting 5/05/01.
Boy, I don't know how I got myself into it but just before the time I went to San Antonio in March, I made contact with Bonnie and she talked me into going and dressing up to the 2nd unofficial meeting of the Fort Worth Tri Ess Chapter. It was on Saturday May 5th. I almost backed out at the last minute but I decided what the heck, I haven't seen or even met another CD person. I drove over there, got to the room and knocked on the wrong door, Pamela answered and got Bonnie for me. We then chit chatted for a bit and met his wife, Alta and they made me feel comfortable. I put on nail polish before I got dressed. I put on my dress before the makeup and Alta loved the dress. Pamela walked in shortly after and both of them said they wanted the dress. They said they hoped I brought another outfit because they would take my dress. Hehe. I am glad Sylvia talked me into wearing it. I wore black hose and the gold sandals I got when I was in SA last. I then ate, too bad the lipstick got all over my food. I remembered what Sylvia told me about the perfume and lipstick, to put them in my purse so I could touch up if I needed to. By then everyone showed up and was either dressed or in the process of dressing. The couples that were there were: Bonnie & Alta, Mandy & Pam, Lola & Gricelda, Toni and Babs, and Angie and Cheryl. Also in attendance were 3 singles, Katharyn, Christy, and myself. I told them about Sylvia and they encouraged me to bring her to a meeting. We then had the meeting, it was unofficial, but we talked about reforming and some different meeting places. About 10 or so we wrapped up and the started talking about life experiences, places to shop and our jobs. We then talked about ordering a pizza and sending a newbie to go get it but we decided no to. Then we finally took pictures. I loved that. I took a few by myself and a few with other people and I had a blast. Again some of the women said they were going to take my dress. Some of us did walk down to Toni's room and helped them take their stuff a few doors down. We did get some strange looks from a couple but they didn't bother us. Little by little people left and I was the last to leave, it had been raining off and on and had settled down for the night. I then drove home and told Sylvia all about it. I didn't go to sleep until 5am but it was too short and I regretfully returned to guy mode. I hope to make it to the Dillards outlet mall today, Sunday, and get some new dresses and shoes if they have the larger sizes.
Trip to Dillards.
Well we did make it to Dillards and thank
god for plastic. I found a purple dress with silver glitter on the sides
in a curved pattern. It is long but I will get it hemmed up. I found a
black velour skirt and a burgundy blouse Alta and Babs suggested that
I get Sylvia something and I found a pink long sleeve blouse with little
flowers on it since she gets cold easy. I paid $77 for all that and just
the blouse I got for Sylvia cost 64.00 originally. Regular price for all
4 items was about $320 or so. The purple dress was about $200. So it looks
like Jessica got a good deal. Babs suggested I get the extra fabric made
into a small purse and I just might do that.
