prom date
yeah if only
.
I could write so much about that little past dream and did have a narrative for this photo however events today have meant that I can write something different instead.
Well I went into town today to get some rollers to give my hair a little wave (I will let you know how that goes) and after popping into one or to shops I headed back to the car. to do this I had to pass a dress shop that does the normal kind of thing prom/wedding dresses! I had noticed a few day prior that they were having a sale so as I was passing I dropped in.
Ok I wasn't Helen but hey who who cares when fancy frocks are involved lol
As I walked through the door the bell rang like a peel from the local church. Then this little lady appeared I asked if she had anything in my size. That was the start of an interesting hour and a half chatting about makeup dresses trans life and all thing girly.
She left me to look around but nothing really jumped out until I found one 50s style green satin dress it is to due for from this point nothing else compared apart from a very tranny purple number with purple and black feathers around the top of the bodice. I then went into the next room with all the wedding dresses in. at this point she asked if I found anything.
Well I told her about the green number and that I just could not afford it but she dragged me back to view it again and it looks like maybe a deal could be struck.
She then started to drag some other dresses out all I liked but not enough to buy. the funny thing was she chose one or two drag queen style frocks she thought I would look good in. Well a conversation about positive presentation followed and the time just rolled by.
It was left that I will go back and try the dresses I liked and maybe come to an arrangement as to the cost of the green one but I don't think that will ever me mine :-(
It turns out the owner is retiring and is selling off her stock. so if any one is looking for a ball gown/prom dress or a wedding dress and you live in Essex or Suffolk drop me a line and I will pass the details on.
Well looks like this dress will have to do for now.
