I have bee...This was one of your best posts, ever. I have been struggling for a while with your definition of 'civilian'. Are you limiting that class only to men who have never cross dressed or had the inclination to do so. I think that there are large numbers of men who may have never cross dressed or given the subject much thought but who admire, fear and do not understand women and who are intimidated by the mysticism of feminity.<br /><br />The only male 'civilian' you noted was 'E' and you seemed disappointed that he did not allow the discussion to go into the technical details of your well applied makeup or how you pulled the rest of your look together. Many men are clueless of the efforts and talent and experience that is necessary to get a good makeup job. They think that it comes naturally to all women and more often than not they cannot tell a good makeup job from a bad one. GGs on the other hand know how hard it is to get the makeup right. They appreciate the time and effort involved and they know that a lot of trial and error is involved to get it 'right'. I would take the comments about your makeup and the rest of your look from the GGs as supreme compliments and a strong affirmation of the not yet disclosed 'Meg'.<br /><br />GGs can spot bad makeup or a wardrobe faux pas from a mile away. They know that good makeup and wardrobe is not accidental or incidental.<br /><br />Therefore, if you include GGs as 'civilians' I would say you got great civilian feedback.<br /><br />It is not a surprise that 'F', your ideological opposite, would be comfortable with your dress and expressed admiration and appreciation for the effort that you went to in order to look as good and convincingly female as you did for the rally. It was also affirming that she shared her opinion that you looked better and did a better job on your makeup and presentation than the prior year. Your quip "I had a year to practice" may not have brought a response but I am sure that it registered and was duly noted and accepted in the good grace and humor in which it was offered.<br /><br />Good job,<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-62767803794417354512010-12-09T11:00:22.153-05:002010-12-09T11:00:22.153-05:00You lucky, lucky lady, I wish someone told me what...You lucky, lucky lady, I wish someone told me what 'C' told you.
