Hi Everyone! Hope you are all having a great weekend. This time of the year gets crazy busy for me, like everyone else. Last weekend, in-between MILF duties and being the sexy aunt, I was lucky enough to have a couple of hours out of town to stop at my favorite mall. I love that place. All my favorite stores and good eat spots. And this latest trip, I scored something even better than a good sale ~ a new friend. Actually, in a way, two new friends. It is not uncommon for me to see cross dressers and transgender ladies. (This mall is any lady shopper’s paradise – lol) One of my favorite stores is the Sephora there. It is huge and has an amazing staff. Although, I’m not the biggest fan of makeup, I am obsessive when it comes to my skin. Sephora not only has amazing lines of skin care but you can get samples and take them home. (not to mention if something doesn’t work for you ~ you can return it!! No drawers full of unused stuff!!) It was while picking up a refill of one of my most loved products, I met Toni. Let me tell you about her.
From across the room – she is more than passable. (yes – Toni is a cross dresser/trans) As a matter of fact, if it wasn’t for her actually comparing different skincare products – some for men/some for women – most people would have never been the wiser. At first, I was confused as to why she would be concerned over what type of products to use. She was very good with her makeup – I mean a flawless day look for day of shopping. I casually asked if she tried the line that I use. (it’s called Fresh and is AMAZING!) I don’t care for things that smell – scents get to me. I explained that I had recommended the same line to a friend and when they are in their “man mode” the products do not smell overly girlie ~ just clean and well, … fresh – lol. We continued to chat about what she needed and such ~ just like two girlfriends. After I grabbed what I needed, and she was given a few samples, we headed to the checkout. The store was crazy busy so we had a wait. And what do girls do while they wait in line??? We talk!!
It didn’t take me long to just adore her. Not only was she warm and funny ~ she was real. She shared her story. Like many of you, she started dressing very secretly and only rarely. Once she got only older ~ and more comfortable with her fem side and established in her career ~ she dressed more often and a little more openly. Yet she had a dilemma. As much as she loved her fem side, she didn’t want to give up the life her male persona had built. Anthony is quite accomplished ~ he is a physician. He also has many friends and a good family. And frankly, Anthony is happy. Toni also has friends and her own interests. Toni is happy. You see, for the most part, Monday – Friday is Anthony’s time and Friday night – Sunday is Toni’s time. Now some times, schedules change, but hey that happens to all of us!!
Anthony/Toni have found a win-win solution. I was so impressed with her. She’s balanced. Dare I say, has it all??? I am looking forward to meeting her again. And I would love to hang out with Anthony as well. Turns out he’s a Yankees’ fan, and as an Indians’ fan, I’m torn, but I am willing to overlook it – lol. But I assure you, you have not heard the last of them.
Until next time!
Hugs,
Ms Kay Marie

Ms Kay Marie- Sounds like Toni sure was lucky to run into you at Sephora! I think it’s great when a cd/transperson can really just be themselves and be accepted for who they are. As far as Anthony, it’s great that he is embracing Toni as a part of him, and not trying to keep her locked up. Allowing all facets of our personality to shine is what makes us the amazing people we are, and just because some of society has a hard time with that it doesn’t mean it’s wrong! Can’t wait to hear more about any adventures ya’all may get into! (and thanks for the heads up on the product line, too!)
Ms Kay Marie I must say that sounded like a lot of fun. It is funny when I was male I hated shopping. My female persona as you know has complete control and she loves shopping. It is funny now I spend more in a month on clothes than I ever did in a year before. Where is that mall? I would love going out on a shopping spree.
