Four Fun Days

By JamiLee

I rose at 6:00 AM Saturday morning to start getting ready for my big day. After shaving all over and putting on something casual to wear to the beauty salon I sat and waited for my brother to arrive. He called and said that he'd be late so I went over with out him. I arrived at 9:00 sharp for my appointment with Yolanda, she works at Hair World where I get my wigs styled, I had asked her one day if she could do makeup for glamour photography and she informed me that she used to work for Glamour Shots, so there was no problem there. Yolanda hadn't arrived yet when I got there so I spent a few minutes looking at all of the wigs that they have on display. Yo came in and took me to the back room and started to go to work on me, she got all of my makeup done except for the false eyelashes that I was buying from them when she realized that she had no adhesive to attach them with. I figured that they would come with adhesive so I hadn't brought any. I called my brother, and sent him on a search for eyelash adhesive, normally that wouldn't be a problem, but on the Saturday before Halloween it was. He finally found some at a Walgreens store that had just opened earlier in the week so they were pretty well stocked. He dropped the glue of at the salon and went on his way to finish setting up his equipment at my place for the shoot. I finished up with Yo and went out and visited with Lois, the owner for a little while and then headed over as well.

When I arrived at my place John was almost set up and ready to go. He just had to run and get some minor things. While he was doing that I changed from my casual outfit into a blue evening dress with blue and silver beading, and was sitting in the modeling chair waiting for him when he returned. He loaded his camera and did some light readings and then the fun began. He was very good at putting me at ease and coaching me as to poses. He was amazed at how well it was going saying that I was a natural and that he didn't have to coach me as much as some real women. He was real good at getting me to smile and we had a good time. We had done two outfit changes and shot three 36 shot rolls of film when he said that we were done and that it was time to go to the park.

I changed from my black sequined bustier and purple bolero jacket into a black suede mini skirt and a sequin top with rows of black, silver and, blue sequins since we would be walking on a wooden bridge I also put on a pair of 3" black pumps instead of my usual 5" ones. We got to the park and I was surprised to find that I really wasn't nervous at all. Like a good little model I just followed behind him and let him carry all of the equipment. We tried shooting a few shots, and they just weren't turning out right at all. The sun was just to bright and the pictures had to much contrast between darkness and shadow. We decided to return Sunday morning to complete the shoot. I was having a great time and I was going to get to do it again tomorrow.

John told me that we needed to get the glamour shots that we'd taken developed right away so that if they needed to be re-shot I could call him and he'd come back over. I couldn't change back to Bob yet just in case the pictures did need to be re-shot. So we drove over to a local CPI and he dropped the film off under our last name. He came back out to the car and said they would be done at 4:30 and that I should pick them up and call him if they didn't turn out. He dropped me off at my place and went home.

At 4:30 I went to CPI and picked up the pictures. They had no idea who the model was until I arrived to pick them up. I pass pretty good until I open my mouth and then I usually get read. They treated me quite well at the store although one of the women did call me him when someone asked her a question about something. I paid for my pictures and was on my way knowing that I had just made their day and that they would be talking about it for some time to come.

I stopped off on the way home at Hair world to show them how the pictures turned out and then went home and called John and told him they were great. We got together for dinner that night with me in my male role and looked through the pictures and made planes for Sunday morning.

I was up early again Sunday morning with not quite as much shaving to do, but we were starting at 8:00 AM so that the sun wouldn't be to bright to shoot. I did my own makeup this time trying to duplicate what Yo had done the day earlier. I got the placement right but not as dark since the colors that she used were from her kit and not mine. I was all made up and ready to go when John arrived right on time. For Sundays shooting I decided to go a little more casual than before so I wore a tan sweater with light rose flowers, a tan miniskirt and, my 5" tan pumps. I was real careful so they weren't to bad on the bridge. We were off to the same location as the day before, but let me tell you that at this time of year it's a little on the chilly side at 8:00 in the morning. I think that I can feel a little for the real girls who do this kind of thing for a living. It's a strange filling to be walking around in a mini skirt at that time of the morning when everyone else is in sweats. Again everything went well with lots of shots in front of the lake and on the bridge. I don't think that anyone ever realized that I wasn't what I appeared to be. We shot 2 rolls of film and we were on our way. I was feeling really good about myself by this time and asked John if he wanted to get some breakfast. He said sure and I asked him if he wanted to eat with Jamie or Bob? He said it made no difference to him. I wanted to invite a friend of mine to join us so we went to my place to make the call. Dan was working so he couldn't join us.

I realized as I was hanging up the phone that I had broken a nail. It would have taken much longer to fix it than it would take to change back to Bob so that's what I did. We decided to take the latest shots to a local Super K store for developing as John said that the CPI shots had a little to much green in them. The Super K had one hour service so we dropped of the film and went to breakfast. I had decided to get one of the shots enlarged and framed so we stopped in at CPI to see what the largest print they could do in-house was. The biggest they could do was only 11"x14" and I wanted bigger, so we left, I don't think they had any idea that I had been there just the day before to pick up my pictures.

After finishing breakfast we went back to Super K to pick up my prints. I saw the film department manager out in front of the store supervising some kind of event for the stores 1 year anniversary so we went up and talked with here for a while and then went in a got the pictures. The girl in the film department was just finishing up when we went in, she had the pictures done and was cutting the negatives into strips and putting them into protective sleeves. I told her that I was there to pick up my pictures and she commented on how nice they were and asked me if I had taken them? I told her that no I hadn't taken them and that they were pictures of me. She couldn't believe it so I told her to ask John who was standing beside me since he was the one who had taken them.

John is a lot more talented that just being a good photographer, he also sings and play the guitar, and on Sunday evenings he hosts an open stage for local musicians at a coffee house in the area. While we were out running around after picking up the pictures that morning he mentioned to me that I was welcome to come and watch that evening if I wasn't doing anything. Well I was having so much fun so far this weekend being Jamie that I told him not to be surprised if I showed up as Jamie. He said that was fine with him, so I did.

I got there at about 6:30 PM I was wearing a black sport bra under a black sequined bustier, a black mini skirt and black 4" heeled boots that were calf high. I walked in and stopped to chat with John for a minute and then went and ordered some coffee. Sue the girl behind the counter just stood there staring at me and smiling as she took my order. She didn't recognize me so I told here that I was John's brother. I showed her the pictures from the photo shoot and then went and sat and watched the musicians for a while. I chatted with John when time permitted and after a while got bored.

I went over and said my farewells to John and Sue and headed to another coffee house closer to home. Johns' guitar teacher was playing there with another friend that night and I wanted to hear him play. I walked into the place and found that it was almost empty, there were only 4 or 5 people there and a few of them were employees as well as the owner. I walked up to the counter and ordered a cup of decaf coffee. Johns' teacher walked by twice while I was waiting for my coffee during a break in the music and said hi both times. He has since told me that he knew that I wasn't a girl that night, but after talking to his girlfriend about it I'm beginning to wonder since she says that he usually tells her when he sees a crossdresser and he hadn't said anything to her about it. There wasn't much happening there either so I stayed around and had a few coffees till the music was over around 9:30 and headed for home.

Monday morning I went to the Super K with my boss for morning coffee. He had something he wanted to check on while we were there, so I told him I'd meet him at the front of the store. I went over to the film processing department and Sharon, the department manager, was working so I chatted with her for a while and mentioned that I'd shocked her employee the day earlier, she said that it didn't take much to do that and asked how I'd done it, so I showed her the pictures. She picked them up and said, oh yeah she told me about this guy who made such a great looking girl. We talked for a while and then I went to meet my boss and headed back to work.

I go to meeting for a support group out here called The Gender Identity Center and Monday night they were having their monthly social night at the center. It also corresponded with Halloween being the next night, so people were welcome to come in costume if the wanted. I had been working on some thing to wear that night that didn't work out so I just wore my black sequined bustier and Purple bolero jacket, only this time I teamed them up with a pair of black velour leggings and thigh high black leather boots with 4" heels and a set of 2" long dragon lady nails. After getting dressed and starting out for the party I decided that I may want to get some pictures, so I went back in the house and got my camera bag and headed out to get some film. I went to the Super K store just on the chance that Sharon may be working.

As I was walking into the store I heard more than one comment about my boots. I walked into the camera department and found the film that I was looking for. As usual I wasn't read until I opened my mouth. Sharon glanced up at me a couple of times while she was helping some other people, at the third glance she finally realized who I was and she almost got whiplash when she snapped her head back up. She just smiled and I waved at her. She finished up with her customers and then came over to help me. I was fun watching the people walk by looking at me and then see the expression on their faces change if they happened to hear me say something and give myself away. A few of them even came back for a second look. I talked with Sharon for a few minutes and then headed for the pot luck at the GIC. It was pretty un-eventful and I stayed till around 9:30 and then went home. I never did get any pictures as I couldn't load the camera with my dragon lady nails.

It was Tuesday and Halloween and I wasn't about to just sit around the house and veg. out, so I called a friend of mine who wanted to buy a used modem from me. I told him that I'd install it for him. I called him about 3:00 and asked if he and his wife were going to be home? He said that he thought so but that I should call first as he didn't know what his wife had planned. I warned him that I would be in costume and he said okay.

The new Batman movie came out Tuesday morning and I had planned on picking it up Tuesday night, just another excuse to get out as Jamie, This time I wore the same top and jacket as before only with my black suede mini and calf high boots. I was expecting to have to wander the store for a while to find the movie that I was looking for, but they had a display right inside the front door so I picked up the video and headed for the checkout counter. There was an older couple in line behind me and when my turn came to pay I handed my card to the girl at the counter and she tried to scan it to pay for the movie, it wouldn't scan so she had to enter it manually, she asked me if I always had problems with it scanning and when I told her, only at their store, the old couples eyes got about twice their normal size.

Sharon had noticed me in the checkout line and came over to show me the costume she was wearing that night. I walked her back to the camera department and she asked me if I had any plans for the evening. I told here I was headed over to a friends house who had never seen me dressed like I was and that it should be fun. As she was walking me to the entrance we walked past 3 young girls who were handing out candy for the store. They asked me if I'd like some and when I said no thank you one of the girls mouth just dropped opened and the other two got very surprised looks on their faces. One of the girls said that I had better looking legs than she did, they just couldn't believe how good I looked.

I decided to stop in at the Stuarts store in the same mall and see if they had anything that I couldn't live with out as I was looking around one of the younger sales girls came up and asked if she could help me find anything. I told her that I was just looking and she realized what was going on and smiled and went back to her work. It turned out that they did have something that I couldn't live with out and it was on sale. It was a purple lace body suit, and I just had to have it. I decided that I was going to wear it over to my friends house so I went home to change and to call and make sure that they were home. They were so I headed over there.

I have known Lenny for a few years and had never in that time told him about Jamie, so I figured that it would be a real surprise for him and his wife. Well I don't really hide the fact that I crossdress and I have a picture frame in my office at work that has 6 pictures of Jamie in it. I didn't think that he had ever noticed it. As it turns out he did know about Jamie from either the pictures or some other source so he had pre warned his wife as to how I might come dressed. He was right about that, but wasn't as prepared as he thought he was. When he opened the door it took him a second to realize who I was and when I walked into the front room his wife was also surprised. Neither one had any idea that I could pull it off so well. They loved the total look and I got a picture of me and Wendy that I hope will turn out. I helped him install the modem in his computer, letting him do most of the work, and then went in and tested it.

Things worked out just fine.
