I bought my very first prom dress yesterday!!
Never one to pass up a new experience, I decided to give cross-dressing a go. I may be experimental, but I'm not stupid . . . so instead of going to a fancy department store to look at all of their fine apparel, I took Michelle (yes, I included her in this adventure) to a local thrift store, and found a lovely, shiny dress. I snatched it up and brought it home. I'm really excited to try it on, but it will need some alterations . . .
1. Take scissors to the prom dress and cut it up into a bunch of smaller pieces.
2. Take the smaller pieces and stitch them in to the thrift store sportcoats I also purchased yesterday, making lovely new designs.
I look forward to the creative process, and to being able to wear my new promcoat out in public.
O.k., so it doesn't actually qualify as cross-dressing. But hey, if I'm going to dabble, I'm going to do it slowly. Perhaps some day I will be bold enough to do what Michelle and I observed with one of the thrift store employees - a teenage guy . . . wearing an impressive kilt. Takes a real man, and nice looking legs to pull that one off.
