Security Check and Tights

Last year I posted about how i like to add a little of my whole self into my everyday life . This is done through things I can hide since most feminine clothing is easy to spot. At least for the obvious and I hate to say it, but most mornings I wake up hoping to increase my options in clothing choices. This will only happen if I see on the news that "World Agrees, Female Fashion is now Males Fashion!"

Well, the reason I'm bringing this up comes from a little tourist moment I had today with my friends. (Who I haven't told directly about myself.) We decided it would be cool to see the St. Louis Arch during their visit and when we got there a security checkpoint was waiting. I looked ahead and saw it wasn't as stringent like the airport and so I went ahead confidant. When it was my turn I removed most of my metallic garments but forgot my necklace. Of course I set off the alarm and unlike the last person who got the wand from security, the yelled across the X-ray counter to lift my pant legs. Oh dear god I thought to myself. He said in more detail that I needed to lift them above your socks. I reluctantly pulled them above my ankles all the way to my calfs. I said to him with everyone in a ears shot (My friends) that they went up the whole leg. By the way to give you a visual I was wearing muted green tights under my pants to go along with my earthy tone outfit. After seeing I wasn't packing any heat the guard let me pass. Curious of my friends reaction I saw they looked spaced out as nothing happened and we enjoyed the rest of the day.

I'm happy this didn't bring anything up, but I'm also wondering that if what I do comes across as normal will I be able to do more. If that's the case I might finally get the rest of my footwear some rightfully deserved adventures.

T Party

Last Saturday I went out to a St. Louis local gay club called "The Complex" where the lovely Cherista threw together a T Party. Transgender that is. Now I normally don't visit anything this organized because I shitty supporter in TG/TS/CD community, but the overall opinion coming from the ladies I talked to was that it was a great idea and something to look forward to. The laid back atmosphere is what sold me. I guess this party was needed because the other choices for gatherings involved a list of requirements dealing with your identity. It's alot of drama I personally stay away from stuff like that.

The main reason I came across this event goes back to my friend Kristen (who I've only hung out with once last year) clued me in on it. It was nice talking with her and we have some geeky things in common instead of the usual hey I like wearing womens clothes too! I had fun getting out of the house dressed the way I want to and meeting some new people. This T Party is certainly an event I'll keep on my calendar.
