Hi from Melissa

[Melissa Little]

Hi, I'm Melissa. I was introduced by Jean Marie. I started dressing up since 5 y/o or so. I still get very scared to be seen by the public in general. Of course in my neighborhood it's a no-no. This one time, not too long ago, I accidentally put the wrong t-shirt on and stepped in a store. Soon afterwards, I was confronted by a guy who didn't like the t-shirt. As a result, my face fell against his fist. It's a good thing I wasn't wearing a dress that day. Unless I feel secure, I seldom dress up. That would be ok, but I have this burning desire to get my ears pierced. The trouble is, how do I hide this when I need to?
Thanks for reading.

Jean Marie and I got in contact through EP (Experiment Project). My recent book raised some eyebrows which also caught Jean Marie's attention.
I am trying to improve my "en femme" look to passable. I enjoy the attention I get when I'm dressed, but it's not always good. One day, I would like to get my ears pierced as well as getting a makeup job; oh what the heck, a whole body job as well.

Hi Melissa, aboard.

Why the need to hide pierced ears? Everyone is doing it these days.

I hope you reported the guy that hit you.

[Melissa Little]

Hi Donna;

The reasons are complicated and rather lengthy, but no I didn't report him. Donna, I wrote a book recently which was released last Monday. If I would have reported him, it could have jeopardized the release of my book, I mean if I brought in the law into this. Thank you for caring though.
I will promise one thing, if ever anything like that ever happens again, I will be more than happy to report it. As I mentioned, if ever you read my book, you will see the reason for my decision.

Now, to the earrings department. It's like an obsession having my ears pierced. There is so much variety for pierced ears as compared to the 1950's look. It would make me feel like a "little girl" in a way. The problem is I'm not fully out "en femme". I have been in the closet for so many years, that most times I am in my male persona. The problem is not my wife; in fact, she is very ill and she is hoping that I will find a nice girlie friend to dress up with. She also loves it when I'm wearing a dress. The problem is with the public in general, my neighbors, my relatives, etc... Most would not accept this.

If there was a way, well.... I thought of one excuse. I don't know if it would fly, but I was thinking of telling everyone that I had a small growth on my earlobe and the doctor had to remove it. I had the other ear pierced so it would match.
Do you think that they would buy that Donna? I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks for reading.

I doubt anyone would buy that, Melissa.

out of several hundred people that know me personally, only one ever mention my pierced ears, and I simply replied, "purty ain't they?!" Then the subject was dropped.

A good answer for anyone curious may also be, "I felt I needed a change!"

[Anthony Simon]

Welcome, Melissa.

[Melissa Little]

I remember that one Anthony. I have it DVD somewhere. That movie was amazing; "impossible" Albert Einstein would have said, but I'll bet that he would have loved it!

Hi again Donna;

Should I reply here or through your email?

[Martina Hall]

Welcome to the forum, Melissa! There is probably no way to hide the fact that one's earlobes have been pierced. Several years ago, I took the plunge. No one has asked me why I have pierced ears, believe it or not. Actually, I have a snappy comeback ready: So I can wear cool earrings when dressed up, of course! Most people I know are aware that I am a transvestite, and the rest of them may as well.

[Melissa Little]

Thanks Martina. You are right; I was hoping that someone would have invented, I don't know what, maybe a fake ear lobe or something like that. (Just kidding of course)
I'm asking around if I said something like, I had a small growth on my earlobe and the doctor removed it, then I got the other side pierced to make it even. Most told me that no one would believe that.
It feels like when you were about to jump in the deep end for the first time, except, I was more daring back then.
Well, here goes....No, wait....ok, now I'm ready....no I got water in my ears....ok, all clear....wait, how deep is it......???

Melissa the chicken.
