January 2, 2020 – It had been quite a while since I was able to get out, as discussed here already. I was itching to do so. I received a gift certificate a few months back as a thank you for volunteering for an event. There were two weeks left to utilize it, so I scheduled the facial that was the subject of the certificate. Now how to approach this? I could have made the appointment as myself, but what fun would that be? So I booked the appointment as Kandi.
No big deal right? Well, since I was getting a facial, no makeup could be used. Even after the closest of shaves (which is very difficult for my face, war torn for many years before all of this came about), there is that shadow. So I decided to do my best version of Kandi without a wig (it would only get in the way of the facial) or makeup. I went upscale casual with a lovely low cut burgundy sweater, my favorite skinny jeans and a little higher pair of heels than usual. Since this was basically me only walking into my car in our garage and then into the boutique and back, very little walking overall would be required so I felt comfortable in these heels. They are lovely, but would present long term problems if worn all day or at an event that required a lot of standing.
I also did a bit to enhance my female figure with a larger than usual cleavage and a little help in the hips and behind. My cleavage was on full display and I added a layered necklace to it to draw attention there. Not usually my style, but I was in a playful mood, it was tastefully done and not overdone. I did the close shave (still nowhere near good enough without makeup), wore my faux diamond stud earrings, a little mascara and pink lipstick. I decided to go with the leather jacket, pink hat and big sunglasses (which require contacts, a painful thing for me, but okay on a short outing like this). I knew there would be very few human beings that would actually see me, so I was good with my presentation.
I felt wonderful! Now, given the lack of a wig and makeup, no close up pictures will be posted here. Sorry, but I do have standards and want to shield the real me from any possible blow back. Here I am somewhat disguised. From the neck down, I looked great. Neck up? I’ll save you the comments, horrid!
My outing was only there and back, getting the facial and heading home. I only saw two other human beings while out. I discovered why the gift certificate was given to me (as opposed to being auctioned or sold to raise funds). It was not at a boutique, it was in a small office. It was appointment-only so I was the only one there. An older gentleman did my facial. Pleasant enough, but he talked WAY too much about everything in his life, and I mean EVERYTHING including deaths, divorces, family issues, etc. Anyone who would have paid for the certificate would not have been happy. Me, since I was given it and the gentleman was kind enough to donate it, I was okay with it. The facial itself was fantastic. I’d never had one before, nor would I spend the money it cost to do so. For that amount, I could have some more permanent things done (like hair removal). The experience, somewhat lacking. I felt uncomfortable most of the time there and was happy to leave. He asked some questions that would have been considered inappropriate by many if it weren’t for the fact that he was older and was a actually trying to be nice. Some outings are grand slams, some three straight called strikes. I whiffed on this one.
I was thinking in the shower the day before how, without realizing it, I have begun many a New Year with a hyper-feminine experience. Last year, with some Christmas money, I went on a bit of a dress shopping spree. Thankfully this year, I am in a “thin the herd” mentality, looking to weed the garden a bit instead of adding to it. The year before I set up a bridal fitting. One year I went to a movie, but that movie was The Danish Girl. Anyway….
