As I've often stated, the reason I have risked everything in my life after discovering my "Alter Ego" as Louise, is the way people seem to be drawn to me. This is not a delusion, you can't make up the scenarios and experiences, at least I can't.
These are some experiences over the last couple weeks.
The Cat Scan
I had to have a CAT scan, most of the staff are now familiar with my wife and I, it seems as if we might be owners of some of the equipment there. After the scan I forgot to ask for a disc, sometimes they might burn one for you while doing the test, but I forgot to ask.
So I went back in about a week later dressed as Louise and as I expected the receptionist said I'll place the order and you can get it in 3-4 days, I said OK, but I have some things coming up next week so I'll be in later in the week. I didn't ask her to do anything special and accepted the condition, it's not a first time for me. She then said, wait, let me see what I can do and she went back to the area where they copy the files.
As I turned to take a seat, the was a couple there and the woman waved at me as if she knew me, I just can't remember most people. So I went over and sat next to her, she obviously knew me well and we were having a conversation. Then another woman walked in and said, Hi Louise, I just was at Millie's store and started talking with me too. A few minuets later the receptionist came out from the back and said, here it is all done for you.
Yes, I know it's a long story for just a simple experience, but I can assure you, Lou would still be waiting for that disc.
The Political Debate
The reason I had dressed that day was because the Chamber of Commerce was sponsoring a political debate at a country club, both Congressional candidates, the Sheriff and a few others know me as Louise and I just like to add spice to the mix, so I go as Louise, besides it makes me feel important or they think I'm NUTS, who cares.
I walked in and there were only a few people and no one I recognized, I sat in front of an older man (89 he told me later) who was speaking with a woman.The woman said, hi Louise so I turned to acknowledge her, she happened to be a Chamber staff member and she introduced me to the older gentleman. He polity said, I'm so fortunate to be surrounded by pretty ladies, of course Louise had to clue him in and he for a moment seemed caught off guard, he then says, I don't know what you are, but you are pretty.
The fact is, this guy was pretty sharp for his age, he heard and saw perfectly well without hearing aids or glasses and was "sharp as a tack", he was also a stanch Ocean City Conservative who was VERY vocal about his Republican party support. I try not to get into political party discussions other than point out what I like about each others beliefs. As we're talking, another lady comes over to me who works for the current Congressman and I get up to great her, she calls over to the Congressman, see I told you I knew Louise.
We chatted a few moments and when she left, the old man wanted to have a conversation with me, we started with, where from and then who we might know as mutual acquaintances, he seemed very comfortable with me and enjoyed meeting someone of my "lifestyle" it was a first for him and something I'm sure he thought he would never experience. It just goes to show that even someone as off beat as people might think I am gives people a chance to realize Cross-dressers might be more normal than expected.
The Garage Sales
Saturday morning there were a number of local garage sales. Since I stopped riding my bike (I hope temporarily) I thought I'd check them out.
The first one I went to didn't have anything of interest and as I was leaving, the lady said, I like the boots. Well of course I have to reply, I said everything I'm wearing is woman's and I even showed her my nails. She asked, what's that all about, I said I'll show you a picture, she said, OMG, I've met you out before. We had a nice conversation and her husband said, please say Hi next time you see us.
I went to two more sales, the woman running the second sale knew me and at the last one, a couple who used to be customers of mine were looking around and had a conversation with me about Louise too.
For me, if it weren't for Louise, Lou would have no life and that possibly answers why I titled my blog, LIFE OF LOUISE

I have no idea
A couple weeks ago my wife and I were at the Karaoke restaurant we normally go to on Saturday nights. As usual when we come in most of the people know us and great us with hugs and "Air Kisses".
We went over to our usual seating area by the front window, it's mostly blocked to the outside, so it's not a vanity issue for me and it's sort of in a very out of the way area. I usually get up to use the rest room or maybe just cruse around the bar area to talk to a few acquaintances for weekly updates about family or just general chit chat, so I'm not really parading obnoxiously around.
This night there were 2 women and a man, 40ish, sitting at the further end of the tables lined up from where we sit, they're usually 4 tables. They were pretty much not paying any attention to anything, I only know because when I get up to sing (embarrass myself) I like to look around to see the reactions, it didn't even look as if they noticed me.
Around 11:45 I motioned to my wife it was time to go, she wanted to say goodnight to a couple people and at the same time one of the women who was sitting by us came over to me and grabbed my face and said, I've been watching you all night and you have a great ass, well all I could say was thanks. She sits back down and the Karaoke guy puts on a dance song, the lady gets up again and drags me onto the dance floor, it's fine, it happens all the time. But, the guy she was with jumps up and runs onto the dance floor and grabs the woman by her hair and drags her off the dance floor yelling at the top of his lungs for her to sit and not move. He then looks at me like he wants to start something when my wife jumps in and starts to chastise him for doing what he did to the woman, she said you better check yourself into a woman's shelter, this was uncalled for and he's abusive.
On the way home my wife told me that when the woman went to the restroom he had followed her and stood in front of the door guarding it. I don't know what his concern was, she definitely wasn't anything to write home about, but he had a control situation going on in his mind.
At least he wasn't there this weekend, I think the manager flagged him.
