Recently I completed a five day trip to Troy Michigan for some training. I had to spend 5 nights at a hotel and those I went out enfemme.

Here is what happened. I arrived too late on Sunday to do anything. I spend the evening ironing the clothes I brought.
Monday evening I got out of training at 3:30 pm and went to the gym, worked out then to the hotel to shave and dress. I was out the door by 7:00 and went to the mall down the road. I went into Macy's thinking this the wisest since fewer teenagers would be present. I headed straight to the ladies room to check myself out for no 'forms peeking' or hair or straps showing that shouldn't. I knew I passed after I left the restroom and said, okay ... here goes nothing. I closed the mall and if my dress wouldn't have been so difficult to put on and off, I would have tried on some bras. I did buy some shoes and a top.

Wednesday, I went out earlier, this time wearing a skirt and blouse. I went to Penny's and tried on bras. I was amazed at how many bras were in the dressing room, no one puts any back! Try them on them leave them! I wear a 42B and sometimes a 40B, but I found a 38C full coverage bra that fit exquisite. I loved it and bought it. ( I love bras and I have so many of them now.) I also shopped at Macy's, Penny's, Kohls and several other stores. I did not lose a beat and walked with my head up, proud and confident I passed. I was called ma'am numerous times.
I closed the evening by going to the movies.

On Thursday, my biggest night, I again went to the gym, came to the hotel, dressed and went to a restaurant! After a nice meal I received the check and had to pay. I keep a credit card with me that has 'NO ID, NO GOOD' on the back and and decided I didn't want to use cash so here goes. I gave it to the waiter, he left, returned and said 'I don't have to ask you for your ID do I?" I said 'No, not unless you want a big surprise." then left him a nice tip. Whew... risky but kinda fun.

I again went to the mall. I bought some more blouses and went to a ton of stores. Around 8:30pm (the mall closes at 9:00) I was at Macy's walking by the MAC makekup counter (the brand I use). No customers were there and just one sales clerk. She said Hi and I leaned over and told her I use MAC and I was a CD. I asked if she had any advice on the makeup I had on and she gave me a few tips. We chatted and laughed till the store closed. I closed the evening by attending another movie, still not wanting to go back to the hotel.

I will be returning to Troy in September.
It was the time of my life. I can't wait to go back and go out again.

Congratulations on a fun-filled week, Carla!

I know the mall you were at, I've shopped there on a weekly basis as I lived and worked in the area almost all my life (I'm a "Warren-ite" but Detroit born), and my family is still there.

If you're interested in a more upscale shopping experience, try the Somerset Mall which is also in Troy . . . and bring *lots* of money, honey!!

PM me if you'd like to know about any other malls or stores in the area . . . Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights is absolutely wonderful, about 3x larger than the mall you were just at, and lots of "upscale strip malls" in the immediate area, too.

*Hugs*

Carla,

Good for you! What a great little "vacation". You always look so nice and natural, quite feminine. Ain't it a great feeling!

proud of you, ain't it great!

You've all hit it right on the button. It is such a great feeling.

The biggest test was the restaurant, but I really felt confident the whole time. And feminine.

I can't wait till September when I do it again!

Sounds like you had a great time. Way to go. And BTW, I am always using my male CC's while enfemme and they have "see ID" on the back. I get some second looks if they see my ID, but I have yet to have any problems.

Hi Carla--
That's a great account, and quite a good amount of time out. I got debit cards in my femme name, but I hardly ever use them. Major stores in California do not ask for ID with debit/credit cards, and no restaurant ever does. Especially not ones where the waiter brings a tray for the bill.

I'm sure you are looking forward to September! I have not been to movie enfemme for some time, but that's always enjoyable. You're in public, you're out doing something, but there's a lot of privacy and very little interaction of any kind. I don't see movies very often, in either gender, so I don't know how much of it I would do in girl mode if it were one of my steady habits.

I liked going through the mall and having dinner even better than the movies. In fact, the time I spent talking to the girl at Macy's was really fun, but I would have rather talked as a woman than a cd to her.

Now that is something I have never dealt with.
When dressed enfemme and talking to someone, do I talk like a man dressed as a woman? Or should I try to talk as a woman? I'm not talking about simple things such as ordering a dinner or a ticket to a movie. What happens, like the situation at the makeup counter. Once I told her I was a cd, (should I have told her? I think she would have made me as soon as I started talking to her. ) Anyway, should I have talked to her as a woman or a man?

hmmmm... what about in the future. What happens if I am ever approached? I had to respond throughout the mall from clerks asking if I needed help and such, but a simple 'No thank you' was suffice. One day someone will try to strike up more of a conversation. I'm not prepared for that.

Depends on what you were looking for. If you wanted her help, say, with beard cover, it would be kind of hard to get the necessary help without divulging you are a CD.

If it was for general help, like any woman, then talking to her as a woman (or more specifically, as a person) would be fine. Divulging you are a CD isn't necessary, even if she would have made you. But it's not wrong to do so.

If you got the help desired, and had a good time doing so, then that's all that matters. And maybe divulging made it easier for both of you.
