An Interesting few weeks as Louise

I don’t find that I post enough to my blog because I tend to get involved with other things and possibly the main reason I do so many things as Louise it just seems normal for me and I don’t want to come off sounding like a braggart.

The last few weeks have been very busy for me, first my wife was some what car jacked, not to go into details it was quite an experience, fortuity she wasn’t hurt but we’re still sorting out details. Next she recently left Studio Six in Atlantic City after 10 years as the Karaoke hostess up to 4 nights a week; it was getting too dangerous in the area besides other conditions. But she got a new gig once a week closer to our home and I help her set up and tear down as Louise.

A few weeks ago I was the photographer at a Civil Union, one person's parents were there and the other one’s ex-wife and children attended. It was a very short but beautiful service and the first I had attended of a same sex marriage.

I also had an appointment and I decided to go as Louise, it’s always interesting to see how people treat me as Louise when doing business, they’re either afraid I’m off balance and agree to my demands or my affect in femme mode over powers them, I don’t know but I do know I get what I want as Louise. From there I went to a friend’s beauty salon just to say hello, a young nail technician offered to do my nails for nothing but I still took care of her. As I turned while waiting for my nails to dry the lady behind me said hi and asked if I was an actress, I asked why would you ask that, she said well you’re a beautiful woman and keep yourself in great condition and your makeup is wonderful, you just don’t see people like you. I said no, I’m a cross dresser, she almost fell out of her chair, she was shocked. Turns out she was a Nurse Practitioner at the local rescue mission, I know the past and current directors because I raced bicycle with the past one and went to school with the assistant director’s brother. We had a long and very understanding conversation about alter egos because she says when she has her lab coat on she feels less veritable due to losing her left lower leg in an auto accident and the lab jacket covers it.

This past Sunday 07/20/07 my wife was contracted to be a hostess at a multi party (birthday, anniversary, graduation) there were about 200 people 20-30 were fireman with the lady’s husband, I have to say they were a very tough group to break, they’re all mucho types and are afraid to show any variability’s by accepting a cross dresser and were waiting for one brave hero to at least accept me so the rest of them could, it turned out reasonably well, I think at least 70% accepted me the rest I better be me or they might leave me to burn. Another pat of this is I was asked to come as Lou and set up and have people meet me as Lou, then I was to transform into Louise, the lady’s daughter is a makeup artist and did my face, I thought pretty good. An interesting thing was the 14 year old male cousin who was somewhat androgynous in looks and build; he had to stay to watch the transformation and loved it with a mixed manner. What I mean is he’s 14 and trying to be the boy he was born so he’s trying to be mucho like all the friends that were there but also has mixed inner feelings as to his sexual direction. I know this can open a lot of discussion so I’m mentioning it.

Anyway that’s the short version, if anyone would like more details so they might have an idea how to handle themselves in a situation they’re not comfortable with just ask, I always want to help.
