Swimming in the Ocean

My job sent me to North Carolina a few seeks ago and it was absolutely beautiful.  Wilmington to be exact.  Anyway while I was there I took some vacation time to go to the outer banks.  I was not going to miss the opportunity to see the outerbanks.  While I was visiting Avon a city on Hateras Island I decide I would not pass up the opportunity to go swimming in the ocean.  Before I left I purchased a two piece tankini as I thought that was the most appropriate thing to wear so I was out in the ocean swimming and I noticed that people kept looking at me.  I finally asked a girl did I have something on my face because people continue staring at me she stated it was the something on my chest not my face and the fact I was wearing a womens swimsuit.  I answered logically so your answer would be that I go topless and left whatever hang out hang out.  She stated ofcourse not then I was like how about a bra and swimsuit she was like dont be ridiculous.  I was like than thankfully I decided on this.

Forgetting I have them

I have had a few instances so far when I have forgotten I have boobs.  The first time, I was changing my shirt outside of a home depot.  I had brought an older shirt I would need as I was picking up concrete. 

After I got my work blouse off I noticed that people were staring at me, I quickly put my tshirt on and went about my day.  One customer came up to me and said heah that is inappropriate to be changing your clothes in a parking lot.  I stated they didnt have a problem with those other two guys loading there lawn mower with no shirt on.  The customer stated they didnt have boobs and you do.  So they can and you can't.

I offered that was a double standard didnt they think.  They were plain in their argument that if you want to go topless outside than do not wear a bra or have boobs. 

The second time I was at the gym and was changing from my work clothes to my work out clothes and i normally change with my back turned completely only this time it was only slightly turned.  I noticed all the other guys staring at me.  I was like heah what is going on they were like heah you have boobs.  I was like yeah.  I was like are you going to stare at them while I am getting changed they said probably.  I went ahead and changed and went on.

The third time which is probably the most embarassing is that I was playing a 5 on 5 basketball game and to divy up players we played shirts versus skins.  Initally I was suppose to be a skin.  That was bad enough however when I took my shirt off and was just wearing a sports bra they decided I should be a shirt while I didnt initially have a problem with that I agreed I should probably keep my shirt on.

The best feedback has been at the lingerie store I shop at when they ask why go through all that trouble.  I advised I thought it was a growing expereince for me.  Second they ask me if I wear other clothing as well.  I advised I always wear other clothing.  I am wearing clothing now.  They finally get to the dirt of there question.  They always want to know what if I wear panties or other lingerie.  One girl asked me what I wear swimming.  I asked her what she wore she told me a swimsuit I told her that is what I wore.

I have received all kinds of feedback from the curious to the positive to the indifferent.

Boobs will be Boobs

I have found that people treat me vastly different with them than without them.  Before I got them people were always nice and polite and treated me with respect.  However, now that I have boobs people make alot of assumptions about me.

First people assume I am gay,  I was sitting at a restaurant and these two guys were arguing over Obamas single handed distruction of a nation and I tried to keep to my own business but they put me in the middle of it.  I advised them that the only people that can take our nation away is us. 

The drunker of the two stated that is what all queers think, I advised I was not homosexual while I have no problems with adults sleeping with other adults whoever that might be I was not attracted to men.  This isnt the first time people have assumed I am gay, probably not the last.

The second assumption is that now that I have boobs I am weaker or dumber.  I went to pick up corners posts and h posts for my livestock fence when I called the shop they advised I needed to come by and pick them up.  I would need to load them as they had no one to assist.  When I arrived I was in a dress and the manager a male and a lady told me how heavy they were and I would probably need some help loading them.  I asked onhte phone and the lady was honest enough to explain that she didnt realize I would be looking different.  I advised just because I have boobs or wear a dress doesnt mean I am any dumber or less weak. 

On hindsight I think this journey has made me tougher.

Eating at Hooters with Hooters

I went to Hooters last friday.  I had been out and about running errands.  I was getting alittle hungry and thirsty so I thought I should get something to eat.  Hooters seemed just as good of a place as any  So I went to the Hooters in south OKC.  I initially was going to sit in the restaurant but settle for the bar.  I order 10 wings and a angry orchard.  Boy is Angry orchard tasty.


As I was sitting there I was making small talk with the bar tender she was friendly but busy.  We talked about life and everything else.  One of the patrons saw me sitting them in a dress and walked over and made small talk with me.  She was very polite asked inquisitive questions both personal and more generic and overall had a plesant conversation.   

I still have not got used to them as I am always spilling food on them and I tried carry boxes with food down some steps and they sure do get in the way alot.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed that

Beers and a game with the guys

Last saturday I got a called from from of my friends Justin he asked me if  wanted to go out with the boys as they were getting together I stated sure.  So we all went out to Twin Peaks in OKC to watch some basketball and have some beers.  My friends had not seen me since i started my quest for a year of boobs so when I showed up in a dress they were taken by surprise.  The dress was just a normal knee length dress nothing special.  After the good goshing or ribbing they gave me we all got to sit around and enjoy ourselves.  One of my friends chris kept staring at my chest so I kept saying Chris my eyes are up here.  The reason we got together was Josh is getting married his girlfriend happen to work their at Twin Peaks. so after she (Christy) got off she joined us.  We had a fun time, Christy was like heah can I ask you a personal question I was like okay.  She was like you are a guy right I said yes she said you are straight I said yes.  I then chimed in and said she couldnt leave Josh for me.  Josh was like whatever.  She stated you are wearing a bra right I was like yes.  She ask if I was wearing panties I asked her if she was, she told me that was kind of personal I reminded her she just asked me she told me she was wearing panties I told her Me Too.  Overall the night was funny out of all my friends I was the most boring and had the least to talk about apparently that has changed.  Terry one of my responsible friends you wife kids the American Dream.  He was giving me crap he asked me if I was coming over to his daughers birthday party on Saturday she is turning 6.  I told him I could but I wasnt sure how his wife would take the whole dress thing.  Terry called his wife and she was like I better come over and bring a good gift.  I asked her about the dress she said dont dress like a hooker.  I told her I wouldnt and the date was set. 

Bra Shopping and Having Boobs

I went bra shopping Friday at Soma Intimates what a great store with good products and a superb staff.  One of the sales staff talked me into trying a Stunning Support Full Coverage Bras.  The sales clerk asked me if I wanted to try it on and I inquired to why did she think it was for me.  She had stated it looked like it could fit me and my breasts were notificable.  Up till that point I have become so familar with my breasts I had completely forgot I had them.  I tried the bra on if gave lots of lift and put the girls on display for all to see.  One of the girls called it a date night bra i bra to wear when you want to feal sexy.  I said a date night bra is a luxory I need bras I can wear everyday she talked me into buying a apricot one even though she wanted me to buy the taupe because I could wear it with more colors than you can apricot.  I thought the apricot was prettier so went with the apricot and got the matching panties.  The first day I wore it was stiff however I was told it would flex the more I wear it.  I hope so

Out to Dinner

My daily expierence has been more interesting than any one event.  However, I took myself to dinner after doing some bra shopping at Soma.  The little bit of time I have wore bras the Soma Allura I swear is the most comfortable.  After leaving the mall I decided to go get a bite to eat.  I had it narrowed down to two locations.  Spaghetti Warehouse and Deep Fork Grill.   I went by Spaghetti warehouse and couldnt get any parking so I went ahead to the deep fork grill.  When I went to the deep fork grill the place wasnt very busy but getting simple things was complicated.  There was various reasons for it being complicated I suspected by their reaction they have never had a man in a dress eat there as I had a semi attentive waitress but their entire waitstaff brought me something.  Overall the food was okay I had the chicken and dumplings.  After dinner I went to the Garage and had an Angry Orchard both Bartenders their are cool. and make small talk with me. Overall I am still learning to do everyday tasks like eating without wearing the food all over me.

This experience so far as really let me know who my firends are my good friends still want to hang out with me they tease me about the dress and boobs but since I give as good as I get they are okay with it.  However some of my friends decided I wasnt worth being around anymore and that is okay with me.
