dinner with my cousin
Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:50 am
Since I'm in LA these couple weeks, I figured I would meet up with my cousin whom I haven't seen in a couple years. Just now got back from that. Since I last saw her I've gotten my ears pierced, let my hair get pretty long, and decided that I will wear what I please, when I please and make no excuses about it.
Neither have I explicitly told her (or anyone) that I am a crossdresser. I guess they can figure that out by looking. So she was a bit surprised when she saw me. I was wearing women jeans, a turquoise top, and high heeled ankle boots. Her boyfriend was impressed with my earrings, they are very pretty blue dragon flies (which matched my top pretty well), hand carved and painted in Montana from elk antlers. So we talked about that for a couple minutes and then the conversation drifted on to other subjects.
We had a very pleasant time, and I was really gratified to be able to sit comfortably with a close relative, wearing what I liked and not feeling like I had to explain everything. She's pretty crazy herself, so she isn't one to jam her opinion onto somebody, and I knew she really wasn't going to care. So I'm pretty happy right now, I'm at a point where I can wear the clothes I like around the people I like, without pretending something.
