I have had artists BLOCK for over 7 months now and I sorely need a change of venue, a vacation from the boredom of work, home life and relief from lackunookie.
The artist in me has tried things like painting upside down and with the other hand in order to obtain a different perspective or jog other parts of the brain into action.
I tossed out the idea of getting more in touch with my feminine side to a few friends of mine and they loved it and provided me with some guidance into this part of the world where I have never gone before. One friend lent me the dress, shoes and wig.
I have never done this before.
Puppet was a major source of support when I was having second thoughts. She also did the make-up and photography.
I went to the local Wally world looking for assistance with a bra. The first girl was rather shocked at the idea of a man wanting a bra and called for assistance from a more mature woman that had a great sense of humor. The first bra was so small that the balloons would have been just below my collar bone. That resulted in some laughs and she asked me if I wanted to use a dressing room. I told her that it was not necessary – this is all in good fun. So she took me over to the boxed ones. Evidently, “Just my size ™, comes in boxes. I wound up with the biggest they had – a 52D! I knew I would have to get bigger balloons to fill those! I protested and asked for smaller cups, but the lady told me that a 6 ft woman my size would have at least a D cup.
I was filling balloons with water and they were exhibiting catastrophic failure so I needed a source of tougher balloons – more resistant to breakage. Then it dawned on me! Trojan un-lubricated condoms to the rescue! I was able to fill one to over a foot in diameter before it broke in the sink. First pair I made had air in them and they sloshed when I walked. So I made a pair without the air pockets. They jiggled and bounced really well.
I went to Penney’s in the mall and found some fishnet stockings on sale for $7.oo – OohhLahLah! When I tried them on at home, I saw that beautiful lattice pattern on my leg and ran my hand across to feel the texture. All of a sudden I caught myself just in time as I noticed that I was falling in love with my own leg!! That was rather shocking!
Dress Rehearsal – and decision time.
I was still trying to talk myself out of doing this, but if I’m going to make it to work on time for the costume judging, I have to know how long all of this is going to take. Turns out I will have to get up 3 hours early!! After the rehearsal we had a photo session which was a lot of fun.
On the way home I drove down to watering hole N. As I walked in, the owner saw me and a second later when he recognized who I really was he shouted, “My God! You’re UGLY!!” LOL!!
I sat down next to Lady E who is a regular, but her male companion is absent. She also appears to have had way too many drinks, but does recognize what is going on. She starts right in on me - about my boobs!
“Those aren’t real!! Those are fake!! Mine aren’t very big but at least they are real!”
I put my arm around her waist and told her that in spite of my fake boobs and what she thought about her boobs, that, “from what I can see I think yours are very beautiful, however, even in its present default and at rest position, my penis is bigger than yours.”
She started laughing so hard that I thought she might start hyperventilating. “I believe you! I have to get out of here! This is too much! I’m going home. Goodbye!” The watering hole owner is OMG! OMG!! And having a hard time containing himself too. The barmaid is laughing uncontrollably. I just sat there with a big grin on my face. They eventually calmed down and I had a couple of brews. The place was dead (thankfully) and I went home and took all this stuff off.
I was now ready for the Halloween Dress up.
