The "Lady" Of The House
By Anonymous Writer
I left my apartment early to try and get a jump start on the
long week ahead. I stopped at the mailbox downstairs to check
any mail I'd missed from Saturday when the owner of the building
came in. Lawrence Gordon seemed to be a nice guy but I didn't
know much about him. He was in his late 30's and some kind of
rich lawyer who had recently taken over the apartment complex as
part of an investment. He was an attractive man as guys go I
guess, a snappy dresser with manners and just a hint of the
"upper-crust" about him that probably came from traveling in the
kind of circles his job and money would allow. He greeted me and
asked my permission to enter my apartment the following Friday.
I then found the note in my mailbox that mentioned the same
thing. He had notified everyone about doing a quick inspection
to look over all the apartments to make sure they were up to
code and appearance. I told him it would be fine with me then
left for work.
I liked my apartment but could only afford a one bedroom unit.
They didn't offer any studio apartments here. I might have taken
that route because it would have been cheaper, but I needed more
space than just one room anyway. Housing in the city was tough
to find and when this unit came open I jumped at the chance. It
was on the 18th floor, had a nice view, great security and all
the other amenities one would expect from an upscale apartment
complex. It wasn't the top-of-the-mark to be sure but was far
better than some of the other places I had looked at. And, it
was in an area of the city that was more upper class with less
crime and, it was close to work.
After a quick bus ride I got to the office and quickly began
getting caught up on everything. I hated the job though. I had
only been working here just over a year and it didn't take long
to realize that this was just another a dead-end position. I
thought about going back to college but I was already in my mid
20's, and with the rising cost of tuition it was simply out of
reach. I had gotten a liberal arts degree and had gotten good at
organizing, researching and computers. My typing skills were
pretty good as well. I had moved to the city in the hopes of
finding a decent career. I didn't like doing secretarial and
office work but in looking at all the blue collar jobs that paid
nothing like waiting tables, washing dishes or driving a cab I
could see those were dead-enders as well. I could have worked
construction and made a little more but being slightly built
like I was I decided that wasn't the way to go either. I could
have had a worse job I guess. I'd just have to put up with it
until something better came along.
The week went quickly and soon it was Thursday. I had managed to
get caught up with my paperwork and even get a bit ahead so I
decided to ask for a day off so I could get a three day weekend.
The boss gave me a break. It was nice to see things go my way
for a change.
I entered my apartment then looked over my mail, the bills and
my checkbook and didn't like what I saw. I was just going to be
able to cover the rent for the month but not much more! I was
low on food and still had to get a couple suits back from the
cleaners. But I had to pay the rent first. I had come up a week
late a few months back but managed to work around it and get
caught up.
I put the papers aside tossed some left over chow-mein in the
oven then decided to take a hot bath. It was nice to have a long
weekend in front of me. I soaked in the bubble bath and then
shaved completely as I usually did on the weekends. I didn't
like body hair and always kept my legs silken smooth and my
toenails perfectly polished as well. After washing my long brown
hair I drained the tub, took a quick hot shower then toweled
dry. I checked my look in the mirror and plucked my eyebrows
just slightly to give them a well groomed look being careful not
to pluck them too much to show too sharp an arch. It was bad
enough having a pony tail at work with pierced ears but these
days if you're careful and keep a low profile you can get by
with seeming to be "style-conscious."
But that wasn't it at all. Not really. I guess I was pushing it
about as far as I dared. And although lots of guys have long
hair and earrings not many have shaved chests, underarms and
legs including gloss red, polished toenails! I thought it mildly
amusing as I sat down at my little dressing table. In a half
hour I had finished combing out my hair and rolling it into
tight curlers and putting on a pink nylon bonnet and had added
an herbal mask treatment to my face to keep my skin clean and
flawless. I then carefully tucked myself into a pair of pink,
lace trimmed nylon panties then slipped into a matching bra
complete with silicone falsies. I wished I'd had more money to
continue my wardrobe for my little hobby but figured that would
have to come later. I put on my pink nightgown and the matching
pink chiffon robe then slipped into stiletto heeled pink
slippers complete with Marabou trim. After adding a few spritzes
of a mildly floral perfume I gave a twirl in front of the
mirror. My face and curlers didn't help but I enjoyed all the
lace trimmed floaty nylon chiffon of the nightgown and robe and
the swishing sound it made as I moved. I started feeling
adventurous then decided to add a garter belt, with a pair of
glossy seamed opera length hose. I was always amazed at the
cool, slippery feel of the nylons and how they sounded when I
crossed my legs or walked and let my thighs rub together! But,
I was getting tired and a bit hungry so before things got out of
hand I checked my seams, slipped back into the slippers and
headed into the kitchen to eat and read the evening paper. It
wasn't long after that I decided to turn in early. Back in the
bedroom I closed and locked the door then tossed my robe at the
foot of the bed then climbed under the white satin sheets,
curled up and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning I got up, put my robe back on and went to the
kitchen for a breakfast of toast and orange juice. I became a
little worried at looking in the refrigerator though. Aside from
a pound of hamburger, three stalks of celery, peanut butter, a
couple of beers and a quart of milk, the orange juice and bread
was just about all I had left to eat! It was a shame too because
I loved to cook. It was always easier to cook on the weekends
then come home and just have to heat up what I had already made
ahead of time. I guess I would have to figure out something else
until the next payday rolled around.
I ate my "continental" breakfast then figured I could at least
give the place a good going over to stay ahead of the dust. I
always kept my place as neat as a pin and being single and
living alone it wasn't that much work. But with little money to
head into town to shop or see a show or visit a nice restaurant
for something to do, I would have to be satisfied with cleaning
and spending the day reading and watching television instead.
After peeling off my herbal mask and washing up for the day I
was back in the bedroom. I moved all my clothes aside in the
closet so I could get at the clothes in the back. Not much to
show for really. A small trunk containing my lingerie
collection, a little makeup kit and a few odds and ends, four
pairs of high heels, and on the hangars in a garment zipper bag,
five dresses, three blouses and two skirts. Since I had a three
day weekend I decided to have some fun.
My clothes were pretty much old style stuff from the 1950's and
60's I had picked up in and around the city at estate sales and
thrift shops but they were all nice outfits some of which seemed
to have been rarely worn. I gathered my things then put on a
fresh pair of panties, a pair of nude support pantyhose then
made sure I was tightly tucked before I pulled on my panty
girdle. I added some beige, seamed nylon hose and marveled how
easily they slid up the already glossy support hose. I then
tightly gartered the stockings to the six garters of the girdle
and then smoothed and straightened the stocking seams as I
pulled and worked the girdle up high on my waist. Another bit of
tugging and smoothing and my tucked little package looked like
a smooth, tight girdled "V" shaped mound just like a woman! I
added a white long line brassiere and fixed the silicone breast
forms in place, then to shrink my waist a bit added a white
nylon and spandex waist cincher. The padding of the girdle gave
my hips a rounded and wider appearance and the breast forms
filled out the top half. I really liked how the tight waist
cincher seemed to add to all the curves!
I sat at my little vanity table and put on my pair of black,
patent leather high heeled T-strap pumps. I buckled them in
place then went to work on my hair and makeup. Even though I was
only in my 20's I had been doing this so long I had gotten good
at it. The makeup part wasn't really needed I guess, since no
one was ever there to see the finished look. The only enjoyment
I would get would be when I would catch a glimpse at myself in
the mirror when moving around the apartment. Since I wanted the
vintage "housewife" look in my clothes the makeup was, I guess,
a prerequisite.
I unzipped my little makeup case and rummaged through it and
soon had a smooth coat of foundation in place. I did my brows,
added false eyelashes, then a blue eyeshadow and finished with
eyeliner and mascara. Classic red lipstick came next followed by
gloss. Then a pale rose blush rounded out the effect. With a
dusting of powder and a few dabs of perfume I was soon finished.
I then took the rollers out of my hair and carefully combed out
my curls. After affixing two hair combs to put my hair up on the
sides, I used a hair band to put my hair in a high, tight pony
tail. Then, using a pink satin ribbon, I finished the look by
tying it into a large, feminine bow leaving a sweeping, curly
pony tail hanging below. A bit of hair spray finished the look.
My appearance became even more feminine now as my neck appeared
longer and I knew the look would really set off the necklace and
pearl earrings I reached for next!
To finish I put on a white, full length satin slip. It was
tailored and had a long zipper on the side. I had been fortunate
enough to find this a few months earlier. I was lucky to be only
five-foot-five inches tall. Although a bit tall for the women of
the 1950's it was amazing how well I was able to get clothes
that fit. I then stepped into a fluffy, white nylon chiffon
petticoat with lots of layers and ruffles then tied the ties
tightly in back over the waist cincher. I then picked out a
vintage 1950's house dress. It was a pullover affair with a full
skirt, self belt and buttons up the front with an open collar to
show off the necklace and short sleeves that had decorative
buttons on the cuffs. The cool, slippery rayon fabric swished
loudly as I put it on being careful not to muss my hair or
makeup. I smoothed it into place over the voluminous petticoats,
buckled the little belt then fixed the little collar marveling
at the shine of the dress that was done up in a soft, pastel
floral pattern. I then added a delicate ring and bracelet then
added a matching gold ankle bracelet complete with a little gold
heart. I usually didn't want to go to all the trouble of
painting my nails as the polish was difficult to completely
remove and my nails weren't long enough to begin with. So, I
settled for some glamor length glue on nails already done up in
a bright gloss red. I entered the kitchen, got a cup of coffee
then sat down at the kitchen table with a swish as I crossed my
legs then waited for the glue on the nails to set.
After coffee I went to the sink and took out the apron I usually
used for these occasions. It was another relic from the old
days, one of those frilly, feminine affairs that every housewife
used to wear. After tying the apron sashes into a fluffy
feminine bow at the back I then grabbed a dust cloth and a can
of cleaner then set about by starting in the living room. It
felt exhilarating as I walked, mincing on the black, patent
leather stiletto heels. It had taken a while to learn to walk in
high heels but after a lot of practice it got easier over time
until finally even the really high ones were effortless for me
to walk in now. I loved the sound of the nylons swishing and
zipping on my thighs and how the petticoat swished and swirled
as it held my shiny rayon skirt out as I minced along, my floral
perfume following me like a feminine cloud.
It took a bit longer to clean when dressed totally as a woman in
the skirts and heels and all but it was exciting. I often
wondered how easy it would have been to just have been a stay at
home "wife" instead. But I put the thought out of my mind when
thinking of children which I didn't care for and in the fact
that I wasn't a woman to begin with. I just liked the clothes
and the illusion. It was hard to deny the thoughts though,
because I sure did look like the lady-of-the-house! It would be
fun to have the whole three day weekend to just stay home and
relax. I finished dusting then straightened the kitchen and
whisked a mop over the floor. After straightening out the
bathroom, bedroom and making the bed I was nearly done and it
wasn't even noon yet! All that was left to do was vacuum.
I swished through the living room and took out the vacuum from
the hall closet then started in. I was nearly finished when I
saw the front door close! It was Mr. Gordon! He had already let
himself in and had seen me! Then I realized it was Friday and
not Saturday! I had forgotten about the inspection!
He approached with some papers and a clipboard as I shut the
Vacuum off and put the handle up. He had been standing there,
looking me over as I worked! I didn't know he had used his pass
key and entered the apartment because of the noise of the
vacuum! He had obviously already noticed the stiletto heels, the
seamed stockings and the swish of my skirts. He seemed to really
enjoy this hyper-feminine retro-look as he continued looking me
over. He noticed the perfume too, then he spoke. "Ungh excuse me
ma'am I'm looking for..." But with seconds seeming like hours
now the truth began to come into focus for him!
"Bri...? Brian? Is that you?..." He said with a puzzled look and
then with a faint smile. I couldn't look him in the eye. Staring
at the floor I said "I'm sorry, please leave, you can come back
later, maybe tomorrow, but just leave now." I could feel my face
flushing beet red but with all the makeup on it most likely
didn't show. I let go of the vacuum then quietly turned and
minced to my bedroom as quickly as I could, with my nylons
whistling and my slips whispering under my dress all the way! I
quickly closed and locked the bedroom door then fell against it
limp, my heart pounding in my throat, my knees weak and nearly
buckling causing me to wobble as I teetered on the stiletto
heels.
I waited to hear the front door but heard footsteps coming into
the kitchen instead! I heard the cupboards open and close and
some of the drawers. I heard the refrigerator open and close.
"Pretty nice apartment you keep here Brian!" He said as he
started his inspection. "Always nice and clean. You're my best
renter! You don't seem to have much food around here though." I
waited further and listened as I leaned against the bedroom
door. My heart was still pounding, my throat was dry, my hands
were shaking. I could feel the sweat beading on my brow then
noticed two drops of foundation colored makeup as they hit the
gray carpet of the bedroom floor. I grabbed some tissue to clean
it up and then some more to wipe my forehead.
He knocked at the bedroom door. "I guess what you do in your own
place is pretty much your own business Brian. Anyway, I've
looked the apartment over and so far, so good. Just let me check
the bedroom and bathroom and I'll be on my way." "No, not right
now" I said as I croaked through a dry throat. I managed to talk
him out of finishing but he said he was busy and had to get the
paperwork done for the rent commission. He said he would stop by
Monday. I didn't have a choice so I had to agree. I listened for
a moment longer until it got quiet, then finally heard him exit
the front door and leave the apartment! Shit! I thought. I had
been found out and knew that I was really fucked now!
I kicked off the heels then got out of all the clothes in a
whirl and didn't stop until there was a pile of lingerie and my
dress on the floor in front of me. I felt sickened! I wobbled
over to the sink in the bathroom still feeling weak on my feet
as my head spun. My stomach churned and was in knots. It took a
few minutes but I quickly went to work and took all the red
glossy polish off my toenails, then got back in the shower and
scrubbed all the makeup and perfume away and washed all the curl
out of my hair. I toweled off, combed my hair back then used the
Right Guard and Old Spice that were sitting on the shelf. As I
put on a T-shirt, a sweater and blue jeans then socks and tennis
shoes I was already wishing the hair on my legs, chest and
underarms would hurry up and grow back!
I quickly folded up the clothes and packed everything at the
back of the closet once again. After zipping the dress back into
the zipper bag I put a few boxes in front of it before sliding
my regular clothes against them. I shut the closet door tightly
then went into the living room. Needless to say, even though it
was "out of site, out of mind" the rest of the weekend was
ruined. It would now be wasted in the "what if" world of worry
and speculation.
Monday morning came once again and even on the bus on the way to
work I was still thinking about how Mr. Gordon had walked in on
me and how stupid and forgetful I had been. I could have at
least chained the door I thought. Now I was paying for my
carelessness with an acid stomach brought about by the sheer
terror of what might happen next!
I didn't leave work right away at five. I hung around and did a
little extra work to get my mind off things then took the
elevator down to the lobby. I headed for the bus stop but after
seeing the merriment in the local tavern across the street
decided to go in for a couple stiff drinks. The drinks seemed to
help but not much. I was soon on the bus for home once again.
Thankfully, the building was quiet when I entered. I didn't have
much to do with the other tenants anyway but didn't feel like
bumping into anybody at the moment. I took the elevator to my
floor and entered my apartment. I noticed the paper on my
kitchen table. It said that my apartment had passed the
inspection. I entered the bedroom and turned on the light.
Nothing seemed out of place. I checked the bathroom and that was
fine as well. Then I opened the closet, it looked alright. Then
I pulled my clothes aside, moved those boxes and decided to see
if my other wardrobe was okay as well. It looked alright at
first but then I noticed the little trunk I used for my lingerie
looked like it had been moved! I could see on the carpet that it
wasn't where it had been! But I figured that in my state from
the previous Friday that I must have bumped it.
Then I noticed the clear plastic, hanging zippered garment bag.
The zipper wasn't all the way up! Then my stomach started to
churn when I noticed that the clothing inside were not how I had
left them! They were all in the bag, but out of order now! Mr.
Gordon had found my stash and had been looking through my
things! I zipped the bag up, put the boxes back in the front and
slid my suits and other clothes back in place then shut the door
and tried to forget what had happened. But he knew now, so I had
to live with that. I figured that if worse came to worse I could
just move out. It would be tough to find a better place or a
better paying job but I figured I would deal with that end of
the problem later.
A couple more weeks went by and I was beginning to forget the
whole incident. Maybe Lawrence had decided to stick to his live-
and-let-live attitude. Then it was time to pay the rent for
another month. I had paid my utility bill, phone and cable bill,
my cleaning bill for my suits and had managed to buy a few
groceries then realized my checkbook was going to be fifty-
dollars short if I wrote a check for the rent! I wrote a check
out for one hundred dollars less and then managed to raid my
"cookie" jar for every spare penny I could find. Luckily, I
found enough. The rent was due the next day so I made a side
trip during my lunch break and dropped the check and the cash
off at the apartment manager's office. After getting the receipt
I then went back to work to finish the day and try to make more
money to stay one step ahead of the bills that would be coming
again next month! A few nights later while watching a show I
heard the doorbell ring then after going to the door I looked
out the peep-hole to see Mr. Gordon standing there!
I told him I was busy but he said he wanted to talk. He said
that after noticing my empty refrigerator he thought he would
bring by some food! I thought that a bit strange but after
seeing the grocery bag he was holding I decided to let him in.
He looked me over but only saw a man named Brian now and he
seemed different somehow, like he was a bit disappointed! He
handed me the bag and I took it to the kitchen. I started taking
the groceries out and noticed a head of lettuce, a prime rib
roast, a couple large potatoes, some asparagus some dinner rolls
and a bottle of wine! "I thought maybe you could cook up a prime
rib for tomorrow night" he said, "we could have a little 'dinner
party.'" I began putting the things back in the bag. "Look" I
said, "I would just as soon stay by myself, you know? I'm sorry
about what happened, and it's embarrassing but think of it as
just a little harmless 'hobby.' I am not hurting anyone, not
bothering anyone and it's my personal business." I handed him
back the grocery bag but I must admit that after eating "Ramen
Noodles" and "Rice-a-Roni" for the longest time, that roast was
a tough give up. Lawrence knew I could cook and in saying I was
his best renter he knew I kept a nice house as well. I was
prepared to end the conversation and show him the door when
things started taking a different direction!
"You know, you seemed like quite the 'lady-of-the-house' the
other day." He said as he put the groceries back on the kitchen
table. "I think we have a lot in common" he continued. " I love
women but these days women are trying to be too macho, too much
like men! Most of them don't even wear stockings or makeup
anymore. I like that 1950's 'housewife' style, when women were
attractive, and dressed feminine. I'd like to see more of your
alter-ego, your other self. Why don't you take these groceries
and I'll stop by for dinner say, tomorrow night at eight. You
can get all dolled up and we'll have a nice dinner. At the very
least, wouldn't it be nice to have a descent meal for a change?"
He said.
Trying to diffuse the situation I told him that I knew he had
been through my closet and my things and that I didn't
appreciate it. He told me to relax and that he hadn't taken
anything. He was just curious. Then he continued. "What would it
hurt? Hummm? Nobody has to know. It's only a little dinner. How
bad could it be?" I wasn't receptive at all, I told him it was
just my hobby and none of his business, I wasn't into 'guys' and
wasn't gay but it made little difference to Lawrence. Then
things got a little more serious.
"You know, things could get worse." He said in a more direct,
serious tone but still trying to be a gentleman. "How about that
guy down on three, what's his name, Benson? Really suspicious
isn't he, think's every guy who is in his twenties or thirties
who lives alone, isn't married and doesn't date is a fag, he
really hates them." I interjected "I'm not a fag!" Then he
continued. "Imagine what he would think, what he might do if he
learned you liked playing dress up here in your apartment! A
little "sissy" in the building. I don't think he could stand it.
Then others would soon find out and start talking, there would
be whispers, they'd stare at you when ever they saw you or
worse."
It became a game of chess. I said I could take care of myself,
he mentioned that as big as Mr. Benson was I wouldn't have a
chance. I said I would get a concealed weapons permit and get a
gun. Then Lawrence mentioned "I wonder what would happen if your
employer found out you had a 'softer side' Hummm? I suppose it
wouldn't be any time at all until something like that got around
the whole office. You might be fired. But at the very least just
Imagine working in an environment like that." He was gaining the
upper hand but I continued on. "I'll get another job." "The
market is pretty tight, you might not find one that pays what
you are making now. Then what if your rent should say, go up
another couple hundred a month." He shook his head. "Tragic.
You'd be out of a job, on the street, nowhere. If you didn't
find anything here in the city you might end up back in that
small, dink town you came from. And, there's nothing there
either, is there?" "I'll get another job somewhere" I said. But
he added that it could be a long time in coming and having to
move and find another job in another city would be most likely
impossible from a financial standpoint and I would soon be
living on the street before I landed something else. "You can't
even keep your refrigerator stocked." He finished. There was a
long silence, I didn't say anything, then he continued. "But, it
doesn't have to be this way you know. Why don't you leave the
office a little early tomorrow, come home, get all fixed up like
you were the other day then prepare this prime rib dinner? You
seem to like the clothes and well, I know I like the look.
What's the harm in it? It'll be fun."
He mentioned that he was a gentleman, that he wouldn't take
advantage of me and all the other lines men use to gain a
woman's confidence. I wasn't a woman! But, I also knew that for
the time being, I was going to play the part of one and cook
that dinner! At least I could stay out of any more trouble for
a little while longer. After I had agreed to the dinner he told
me he had to get a couple things from his car. I was putting the
groceries in the refrigerator as Lawrence left with a smile. He
returned with a long pink box held with a pink ribbon and
another box that looked like a shoe box! He set them on the
kitchen table. "Here's a little something for you. See you
tomorrow night" he said. And with that he left the apartment.
I didn't feel right. My head was whirling with thoughts at what
had just happened. Then I looked at the two boxes on the table.
There wasn't anything masculine about them at all. I knew I had
to see what he had brought so I undid the pink ribbon on the
long box. I pulled the top off and could immediately smell the
sachet perfume that many upscale women's dress and lingerie
stores use as kind of a trademark scent. I began to feel the
butterflies in my stomach. I pulled back the white tissue paper
then nearly panicked! Inside the perfumed box all folded up was
a brand new cocktail dress! I took the boxes to my room and set
them on the bed then began to pace the floor scared to death! I
then carefully took the shoulders of the sleeveless dress and
swished it out of the box. It was one of those expensive,
layered chiffon creations. It was mauve in color with layers and
layers of sheer nylon chiffon! I held it up to myself and
realized that it was in my size! I dropped the dress back to the
box then quickly opened the shoe box to see a pair of very
feminine sling back pumps done up in the same mauve color! I
didn't know what to do! I put everything back in the boxes then
put the boxes on the shelf in my closet then closed the door and
tried to forget this ever happened. But I couldn't and now I
felt hopelessly stuck!
I still had to do the dinner so the next night I left work early
and got back to the apartment. I fixed the roast up and put it
in the oven to slow cook then made salads and got the potatoes
and asparagus ready. I set the dinner table and brought out
candles as well. Lawrence wanted a fancy dinner but I couldn't
help thinking he wanted more than that! I tried to put it out of
my mind as I noticed the clock. I then had a lot of work to do
in getting myself ready so I got busy, took those pink boxes off
the shelf, set my makeup case on the table in my bedroom then
poured a hot bubble bath.
It's quite a process you know, dressing. Women take a long time
too but for a man to erase all the male characteristics it not
only takes longer, it takes a knack. I knew that this time I had
to play my game to the hilt. If I did, I might just get by with
the evening. Two hours after the bath I was once again looking
at my feminine self in the mirror as I fixed the little belt on
the vintage dress. My makeup was flawless and done up in an
evening look. I had styled my hair up as best I could and
thought it looked nice. It really set off the long, dangle
earrings and pearl necklace. The front of the dress was a bit
low cut but I managed to make it work. I swished the soft,
gleaming fabric as I looked it over. I must have cost Mr. Gordon
hundreds of dollars not including the shoes!
It was fitted with a long back zipper and had a slippery nylon
lining at the top of the dress covering from the bust down to
the belt and was covered in four layers of nylon chiffon. The
skirt below the matching mauve colored leather belt done up with
a feminine jeweled decoration was a continuation of the four
layers of chiffon from the top of the dress with another four
layers of the same slippery diaphanous material to provide more
fullness and more of a sweep in addition to providing see
through coverage. The look was finished with the matching,
"strappy-sandles" with five inch stiletto heels. With the open
toes I realized I could now see the red polish on my toenails
through the reinforced sheer toes of the stockings!
The stockings were seamless, very sheer and taupe in color. They
were opera length and fit all the way up, tightly gartered to my
panty girdle. I had on a proper brassiere complete with my ample
breast forms and I had on my waist cincher as well. For a
precaution against Larry getting out of control I went the panty
then support pantyhose look then after making sure I was
properly "tucked" I added the high waist panty girdle then the
nylon stockings. I pulled the girdle up as high as I could until
my bulge was once again totally hidden, now replaced by that
tight "V" shaped mound!
I then worked the cincher down over the high waist girdle and
checked to make sure the garters were firmly attached. I fluffed
my white satin full slip down then feeling satisfied swished the
skirts back into place. After a few spritzes of perfume I left
the bedroom to check the oven then took a twirl through the
living room. I was now ready for my dinner "date."
The doorbell rang at a quarter of eight. I answered it to see
Lawrence and let him in. He had brought a dozen roses with him!
It felt embarrassing to stand there in the doorway and to be
given flowers like I was a woman, it was strange. I invited him
in and after locking the door securely took his coat to hang it
up. I could feel him looking me over and when I turned he pulled
me close causing me to stumble a bit on the heels. He held me
around my cinched waist as my skirts swirled in a perfumed,
chiffon swish. I could feel his pants start to tent! He was
getting a hard on at seeing me! I was quite unprepared for this
and pulled away. He seemed as embarrassed as I was and
apologized as he handed me the roses. "Better put these in some
water" he said. Sensing my chance I quickly took the flowers to
the kitchen to find something to put them in. He watched me
wiggle away then looked around the living room. He put on some
music before taking a seat on the couch where he could watch me
fuss with the flowers and finish up cooking dinner in the
kitchen.
I tried to put my thoughts out of my mind as I worked. Lawrence
came into the kitchen and opened the wine and as I took the
flowers into the living room he poured two glasses and followed
me. He motioned me to the couch and after I took my seat and
crossed my legs he handed me a glass. I took a sip then set the
glass on the table. I noticed the red lipstick on the rim and
began feeling strange again. I wasn't used to having anyone
around when I was like this and especially wasn't used to being
admired in this way! Lawrence was taking in the scent of the
perfume, listening to the sound of the nylons as I crossed my
legs and the swish of my skirts as I adjusted the dress and
moved nervously on the couch.
He was taking it all in and seemed excited as he gently put his
arm around me. He asked if I had a name for my "other self." I
said I had never needed one. He said he always liked the name
"Tiffany." It was a feminine name and it had class. He then
asked that I call him Lawrence. He preferred it to Larry as it
wasn't as pedestrian and it showed more class as well. He said
"Lawrence and Tiffany" it could be a magic combination.
I lifted his arm from around me and got up to finish dinner. I
told him "I'm a guy Larry, or 'Lawrence.' This is only an
illusion! And we both know how I ended up doing this for you for
whatever reason you may have. "You shouldn't have bought me this
dress or these shoes." I said as I stood there in the living
room. "I think you look fabulous! Don't you like the outfit?" He
asked. I had to admit it was nice, very nice but I felt wrong
about wearing it. I told him I felt uneasy being given a dress
and high heeled shoes by another man and then a dozen roses on
top of that. It was making me feel strange! I commented further
trying not to hurt his feelings or get in any more trouble.
"Let's just have that dinner and then we can go our separate
ways huh?" He took another measured sip of wine, then a bigger
sip then set the glass down, leaned back into the couch and
studied me with a smile as his arms spread out over the back of
the couch. "You're beautiful when you're angry. Did you know
that Tiffany?" I had stood firmly in the middle of the living
room, and pointed a manicured and painted index finger at him,
scolding him about the whole evening. But standing there,
teetering on stiletto heels in this wispy, knee length cocktail
dress that showed off my gleaming, nyloned legs and with my hair
done up and with earrings dangling and brushing against my neck,
I guess I didn't look very formidable.
"Dinner is ready" I said as I turned on my heel. Larry followed
me listening to the sound of my clothes as I minced along.
The dinner conversation was what I thought it might be. How did
I get to be like I was. "I have no idea" I said. There was talk
of fashion, the future, and a bunch of other things that seemed
to drift into one long run on sentence. He really seemed to be
enjoying the meal though and I had to admit that prime rib was
way better than macaroni and cheese! He also mentioned once
again how he liked how clean I kept the place, how good a cook
I was and how I had managed to achieve the "look." That classy
look that women used to have in that bygone era that had long
since faded away.
As we finished dinner and I got up and put that frilly apron on.
He watched as I tied it around my waist and took the dishes
away. He studied my every move. I paused for a moment and
turned, "It's only an illusion Lawrence," then went back to
straightening up which didn't take long. We then ended up back
in the living room listening to soft music with the lights down
low, the candles on the kitchen table still aglow.
I crossed my legs and smoothed my dress. Lawrence slid in close.
He took a layer of the chiffon at the hem of my skirt and rubbed
the silky material between his fingers. "I just love this
feminine look." He said, then put his hand on my knee and began
fondling me! The nylon swished as my skirt rose just a bit. I
was hesitant. "It doesn't have to be an illusion you know." He
said as he whispered in my ear. I moved away as I took his hand
off my leg and swished my skirts back down.
I reminded him of his threats and why we were here and how
uneasy I really was about doing this. The conversation
continued. I learned how much he liked old fashioned women, ones
who dressed like, well like I was dressed now, in the old,
classic women's fashions that are now considered little more
than fetish fare for men and clothing that was far to "girly"
for even women to touch these days. He loved women that dressed
excitingly but sadly, said they were most likely all gone now.
He didn't like their attitudes either, too macho, too
competitive. I guess I understood, but I really didn't want to
take this "relationship" any further. He leaned back in.
"I wasn't really serious about exposing you, you know, Tiffany.
I just wanted to get to know you, because I like your style. I
apologize, but it did work and here we are." "Yes, here we are"
I said. "Thank you for the nice steak dinner and everything.
Thanks for stopping by, have a nice life and all of that." I
started to get up, to end the charade. Lawrence took me gently
by the arm and pulled me back to him. "I know you are having a
tough time making a go of things. You know, it could be easier
for you, much easier." I started thinking again of how I hated
my shit job and my crummy life and always just scraping by. I
wasn't living, I was existing nothing more. When I didn't pull
away this time it seemed to please Lawrence to no end. I felt a
hand on my knee once again that startled me back from my
thoughts.
"You know, I live alone, don't get out much and hate the bar and
restaurant scene because it's all I do, I'm tired of it" he said
as he started toying with the gleaming chiffon of the skirt once
again. He then gently reached up under my dress and slip then
started feeling my nyloned thigh! I don't know how to cook. You
do" He continued. "It sure would be nice to maybe have you cook
for me once, maybe twice a week. And I will pay for all the
food! Imagine, eating real food again instead of all those
leftovers." I started to hesitate but listened further. "I
imagine that if you were to do me a little favor like that, that
I might be more than willing to forget about your rent payments
for a while!" I was still listening.
Lawrence leaned close and put his arm over my shoulder and with
his other hand he began rubbing my leg. The nylon zipped and the
skirt rustled as his hand roamed up my thigh and under my skirt.
He held me closer. I was still thinking about the free rent and
the free food when I felt him put his hand between my legs! He
then began rubbing my tightly girdled crotch, working the mound
just like I was a woman! It felt surreal, like an out of body
experience! He then turned my chin and kissed me on the lips! I
felt the lipstick smear as he leaned in. I felt his tongue begin
to explore! I tensed up then pushed away. I could see that he
had a full hard on straining in his pants and became worried.
But then before things got out of hand he came to his senses,
regained his composure and sat back up. As I was straightening
myself up he apologized.
I wasn't gay, and it felt strange playing the "woman" on a date.
I just pretended it was all theatre and couldn't wait for the
evening to end. But he asked once again about the possible
arrangement. He then mentioned a "trial-period." For added
incentive he continued the deal. "Tell you what, try it for a
month, just one month. If you don't like it we'll quit and
everything goes back to the way it was, no harm, no foul and
nobody knows. What do you say Tiffany?"
I hesitated in thought, but like a consummate poker player he
drew another card and raised the bet. "And, if you agree to this
and after the month is over and you change your mind I'll take
care of your rent bills for an entire year starting from the day
the deal is over. That's worth thinking about, isn't it?"
He sat up, poured himself another glass of wine then waited for
an answer. Then it was my turn. I knew I was on the spot, I
didn't want to do it but since he already knew my secret what
did it matter? The room was silent as I thought. Then finally I
gave a sigh or resignation and asked: "What do you want for
dinner next time?"
He smiled with satisfaction then leaned forward and took out his
wallet. He opened it to reveal a stack of credit cards and took
two of them out and handed them to me. "You pick up the food and
choose the meals and I will take care of the rent. And, although
I have seen your wardrobe it's far to limited. Go shopping, get
some more of those nylons, some more pretty dresses and
lingerie, and some more of those nice high heels while you're at
it. There's a lot of nice shops downtown. I know you have a
flair for style. Pick yourself up some pretty things! Just put
everything on the cards, enjoy yourself!" With that he took
another sip of wine then got up. I walked him to the door and
got him his coat. He was soon gone and heading down the hallway.
I closed and locked the door then added the chain to the latch.
I shut the stereo off, gathered the empty wine bottle and
glasses then went back to the kitchen and blew out the candles
that were still alight. I then went into the bedroom and got out
of the dress then scrubbed all the makeup off once again. I took
a look at myself in the mirror. What the FUCK had just happened?
Okay, I had dressed like a woman, had dinner with a man, been
treated like a lady and then become a "kept" "woman" all within
the space of three hours! I started to panic once again!
It was a moment of weakness I never should have allowed! But I
hated being broke! I was going nowhere! I got to thinking about
Lawrence wanting me to buy something "nice" something "pretty."
I might get some stuff through catalogs or off the internet
maybe. I looked at the cards he gave me, all of them were
platinum, and either high limit or no limit. Exclusive credit
cards for the well-to-do. I had bought a few dresses from out of
the way thrift shops and if they asked why I wanted the clothes
I always tried to deflect suspicion by mentioning a costume
party or some other such thing. But I knew the kind of clothes
Lawrence expected me to get. I had no idea of how I could go
down the main avenue of stores and enter those exclusive ladies
shops and buy a woman's outfit for myself. No way!
Then I thought of how many meals I would have to make and
started thinking of what to get. That wasn't really a problem
because I liked to cook. I just never had the money to get every
think I needed. I guess that now I did. But now I owed Lawrence,
big-time!
I couldn't think anymore, my mind was still in a fog from the
wine and I was tired after the whole evening. I went to bed and
concentrated on the month long "trial period" and how soon it
would be over. Then I thought that if I could pull it off,
nobody would be the wiser and I would have this place rent free
for a whole year! I would finally be able to put some money
away, and while I was doing that I could look for another city,
another job. At least I would have a chance now and I figured
that playing a part for a month was well worth it. After it was
over I could just move away and disappear then get on with my
life somewhere else and put all this behind me.
As time went on days turned into weeks. There was duck
la'orange, chicken divan, pot roast, steaks, ribs, coco van,
cordon bleu and even a few "down home" casserole dishes I still
remembered from when I was a kid.. Then there was the new and
ever expanding wardrobe as well that added to the required
"fashion show" that accompanied every meal. Lawrence seemed
pleased. There was more wine, more flowers, slow dancing and
more conversation on the couch. And the game went on. He then
noticed some of the credit card bills and asked me why I hadn't
gone to those exclusive ladies shops downtown and I replied that
I didn't have the nerve. He said that with a little work and a
look more conservative and in line with today's upscale women's
fashions and with lower heels I could probably pass. But he
agreed that in a women's dressing room standing in only bra
complete with fake breast forms and panties, it might be a
little difficult. I mentioned the "illusion" once again and he
seemed to understand.
Towards the end of the month long "trial period" we were just
finishing dinner on another night and as usual Lawrence watched
as I minced about the kitchen like the lady-of-the-house. He
seemed deep in thought. "The month has sure gone fast hasn't it
Tiffany?" I told him I was ready to get back to being myself and
that my job and my boss had become a huge headache. I hadn't
gotten the raise I should have and had seen one of the guys in
the department get promoted above me, and I had trained that
guy! It sure was a dead end job and even though I had gotten a
break on the rent and was putting a little money aside, I knew
I was still going nowhere. "Well, how would you like to quit
that 'dead-end' job." He said. I turned, "What!?"
Okay, I would have rent and food paid for but without a job
there wouldn't be any more money going in the bank, money that
I would need! Lawrence continued. "You could move out and live
with me!" "No" I said, "I'm fine here." "You could think of it
as a job if you like. Your duties would be extraordinarily
light, just a few simple household chores, and the cooking,
that's all you'd have to do. The lawn and other heavy work I
usually have taken care of. Either way you wouldn't have to
worry about it." I thought for a moment then made my decision.
"Another trial period? No, my life is messed up enough already.
And continuing on with, with this? That's not for me." I went
back to straightening the kitchen and as I moved about I could
hear my nylons swishing and the heels clicking on the floor as
they always did. I could tell that Lawrence could too.
"You're already doing it. I can see you are getting more and
more comfortable with this arrangement all the time." I told him
I wasn't and that I was just getting used to dressing up more
often than I usually did but he kept on. "Just imagine, no more
work, ever, if you don't want to. After some light housework and
planning the evening meal your time is yours. Go shopping, surf
the internet, visit the gym, take a sauna and a dip in the pool,
There's thousands of books in my library and even a complete
home theatre if you want, and out back a sidewalk that runs
through a nice garden with plenty of flowers and greenery if you
want to take a walk. And I've got to admit that it would sure be
nice to have someone to come home to." I began thinking again.
But no, I couldn't do it! I wasn't gay but Lawrence had been the
perfect gentlemen at all times, really. And he had been more
than generous too! He really understood my weakness for my
"hobby." "A trial period?" I asked once again, this time with a
more serious tone. "Of course! You can even have your own room,
and I'll continue to pay you what you would be making if you
kept your job! You decide to leave and you'll still have
something to get by on if you decide to move out. I think that's
a pretty safe bet!" he continued.
"Just imagine, you'll have a whole house in a nice secluded area
of an exclusive suburb. You'll spend your days in dresses, and
your nights in nightgowns on satin sheets. You'll have the time
and the wardrobe to dress as feminine as you like and plenty of
room to relax and move around. You can let your nails grow out
and keep them painted all the time, you can keep your hair
styled soft and feminine too and never have to comb it back to
hide the look you enjoy. You can play the part of lady-of-the-
house to the hilt, to your hearts content. Give it another three
months. Deal?" I waited for my thoughts to catch up with me then
made a decision. This first month-long trial period was set to
end in only three days. Then the day after that the movers
arrived as I phoned in to quit my job on the spot.
Riding with Lawrence we left the city and drove to the tree
lined suburbs. Each house had plenty of room with huge lots. I
had seen fancier and bigger places on TV and in the movies, but
this was pretty much the limit of my experience. As we drove
through the gates at the entrance to the estate I marveled at
the property as we drove up the long private drive. That part of
the suburb was a gated community already and the whole area
Lawrence owned was fenced off yet again like the other
properties and the huge trees and bushes lining the area gave it
a secluded almost country like feel. It was quiet and very
private.
The house was large. It was one of those rustic two story
affairs with timbers and fieldstone and a large drive way turn
that sat next to an attached four car garage. Lawrence pushed
the button on the remote and soon we were pulling inside. The
place was just like he said it was. It had a half a dozen large
bedrooms besides the even larger master bedroom. It had a huge
kitchen with a dining nook and a large formal dining room that
sat through an adjoining archway. The living room was grand and
included a large fireplace and plenty of opulent furniture. I
could see the pool from the kitchen window. It was even enclosed
so it could be used year around. The pool house, the gardens and
the back yard could be seen beyond that.
He had contracted with a service to do all the outside work,
even snow removal so my only duties would be indoors. I saw the
home gym down stairs and storage areas and back upstairs was
amazed at seeing the private library, office space and the
complete home theatre that Lawrence said he really enjoyed. The
house had everything!
I then noticed all my things stacked in boxes in the front
entryway. My apartment had come furnished so there wasn't
furniture but it was amazing that all the stuff that filled my
old apartment looked like such a small pile sitting in the main
front entryway. "You can sort through this stuff now if you
want" Lawrence said "Or better yet, why don't you go ahead and
change out of those street clothes." I was a bit worried maybe
because of all the space but Lawrence assured me that we were
alone. I asked him what about the yard staff and he said they
always called before coming to work and that I could spend the
time in my room or the home theatre or anywhere I would feel
comfortable staying out of site until they were finished
working. But he said that with my looks there wouldn't be a
problem and that I would get better at it and as time went on
even more comfortable with it. He then took me to my bedroom on
the second floor.
I really wasn't prepared for what I saw after he swung open the
large white door to my bedroom. It was a large room in a scale
the same as the others but this one had been really done up.
This was a woman's room! There wasn't any doubt about it! Soft,
pale pink, pastel carpeting covered the floor. There were two
large dressers, a complete vanity and a queen sized four poster
bed! The bed was all done up in ruffles and satin complete with
a pink satin comforter. Feminine lace dripped from the canopy of
the bed and the treatment continued on to the window curtains
which had white nylon chiffon sheers, ruffled valances and rose
colored satin curtains pulled back by yet more feminine ribbon
and bow treatments to hold them open to let in the afternoon
light. All the furniture was white and styled in a very feminine
French Provincial. A sweet, feminine perfumed scent hung in the
air.
I guess I froze a bit before entering but Lawrence took it in
stride and guided me inside. It was over the top, like those old
"boudoir" movies of the 1930's! It was almost too feminine! He
took me to the large walk in closet and opened the double doors
to reveal a mountain of clothes! Dresses, skirts and blouses,
long formal gowns and night gowns with robes filled the padded
satin covered hangars and lined the walls! The floor was filled
with rows of high stiletto heeled shoes with five and six inch
heels enough to match every outfit in the closet! There were hat
boxes, dress boxes and dozens of boxes of all types of old
fashioned vintage nylon stockings some with seams, some without
and in a complete array of shades on the top shelves among still
more boxes too, many in pink from some of those exclusive
downtown lingerie and dress boutiques I had been too afraid to
visit in person. Upon closer inspection of the closet I began to
notice that while there were some contemporary women's clothes,
all soft and feminine of course, and upscale too, I noticed that
dozens of the dresses were pure vintage and in my size or
slightly larger! And these weren't old either, they were all
brand new recreations! I couldn't believe the expense Lawrence
had gone to!
We continued the tour to see a full, complete array of makeup at
the large mirrored and lighted vanity with every female doodad
imaginable and then explored the large dressers. I was amazed to
find them brimming with all manner of feminine lingerie, most of
it period stuff from the hyper-feminine 50's era! Dozens of
girdles, slips, brassieres and pairs of pantyhose were carefully
folded and filled the drawers, in another drawer were several
corsets along with cinchers, camisoles, teddies old fashioned
garter belts and still more boxes of vintage nylon hosiery,
enough to last a lifetime! I couldn't take it all in!
We next visited the attached bath that was done up in a pale
pink as well. It was large and had a huge tub and a double sink
arrangement which sat along a wall in front of a full width
mirror. Pastel towels lined the shelves and the heated towel
rods. Lawrence suggested that I bathe and change then meet him
downstairs after I was properly dressed. He said that since this
was my first night he would have dinner catered! But eased my
fears by telling me that by the time I was ready to go
downstairs the caterers would be gone. He also asked that I
bring down all my male clothes after I had bathed and changed.
I took my bath then returned to the large bedroom and began
selecting an outfit for the evening. With all the choices I now
had before me I realized that this could take some time!
I somehow managed and by the time I was done the caterers were
finished and had left. The food was now in the warming oven. I
swished, minced and jiggled down the hallway with a cloud of
feminine perfume following all the way and descended the stairs
leading to the living room carrying my suit on a hangar in one
hand and my wingtips in the other. Lawrence was there standing
by the fireplace that was now giving off a warm glow. He
instantly noticed me "Set those things with your other stuff in
the front hall would you Tiffany dear?" I complied and then
returned to the fireplace. Lawrence handed me a glass of
champaign then put his arm around me then led me to the huge bay
window at the front of the room where we could watch the sun set
across the large spacious lawn. "Ready for dinner?" He asked. I
nodded still a bit in a whirl with this estate all those clothes
and my new, but temporary situation. Lawrence smiled "You just
relax and enjoy yourself. When I'm through with you, you'll
never want to leave! You'll see."
I took in the grandeur of the living room. It was unbelievable
I thought, how some people get to live large like this, while so
many others have to struggle and scrape just to get by in an
endless cycle of misery that never pays off. I had my dreams
like any other guy, but what woman wants to date a guy who's
always trying to make it and still struggling to get there
"someday." Someday, more often than not never comes. Believe it.
But here I was, a million times farther than I ever thought I
would ever, ever get. Even though it was temporary and I was
playing the part of the woman I still couldn't believe it. The
clothes and the look weren't the problem really, it was fun
after all, my "hobby" even though I was more than maxed out on
the feminine side, I enjoyed the high it created, what I refer
to as my "brain buzz," I had never been totally dressed for more
than three days at a time and wondered what would happen when
the days started rolling by. Three months in this female
personae might be a pretty tall order and, I couldn't help
thinking that down the road there would be something more but
for now, I wasn't worried.
Then I decided to go with it, go with the moment. For a place
like this, yeah, yeah, I'd be the "lady-of-the-house for a
while." I'd play the part and be the best lady-of-the-house that
Lawrence ever had. He'd get his enjoyment watching me mince
around the house cooking and cleaning for him and I would get
mine and start salting money away. I let him keep his arm around
my waist as he held me close. Then I sipped my champaign as we
watched the sun dip below the tree line. That was the start of
the evening of day one.
Lawrence usually left for work around seven-thirty and returned
home by five-thirty in the evening. Although the place was big
I got it down to a system and managed to keep it neat as a pin.
I did get used to doing all the work and the cooking too all the
while dressed in women's clothing! I slept in my feminine,
perfumed room at night in my nylon nightgown under soft satin
sheets then in the day spent my time totally dressed and in high
heels yet again complete with makeup and hairdo! The days
started rolling by and things began to settle in. I started
getting used to wearing the heels and the petticoats and dresses
full time. It wasn't long before I realized that I hadn't worn
pants in over two weeks! I realized I was now living like a
woman in nearly every way!
A few days later the phone rang just after Lawrence had left for
the office. In my softest voice I answered. It was the company
that did the lawn and trimmed the trees. They said they would be
by, by ten that morning. I then locked the house up then grabbed
some coffee and went to the upstairs office to work on the
computer for a while and planned on staying upstairs until the
gardeners were finished. Things went well and they never saw me.
I told Lawrence about my day over dinner that night and he
reassured me telling me there wasn't anything to be worried
about then complimented at how feminine I was becoming. Or at
least getting into the swing of things.
He appreciated how I had taken to the place and kept it clean
and neat and how well I could cook. He then mentioned that three
women were going to stop by in the morning. I asked what for and
he told me he wanted me to change my hair color and my hair
style to a more feminine look and that one of the ladies was a
hair stylist. The other lady was a dressmaker who would check my
measurements and adjust my wardrobe so I would always look my
best. The third lady was to teach me all about feminine
comportment. "Charm school?" I asked. Lawrence told me to relax,
go with it, and just enjoy!"
He had taken great pains in setting everything up and the women
who were to be my source of feminine guidance were well
remunerated and understood that Lawrence wanted complete
anonymity in the matter. "Remember how you were worried about
going downtown to the exclusive salons to buy dresses and
lingerie?" He asked. "Yes" I answered. "Well, when these ladies
start working with you they'll get your look, your clothes and
your mannerisms up to speed for a proper lady! With a little
effort your feminine training will start to curb your male
impulses and mannerisms until they begin to fade. Over the next
three months you'll forget how to even act like a man, or for
that matter that you ever were one! When they get through with
you, you'll be the perfect lady, and you'll pass anywhere."
During this time Lawrence never pressured me or groped me. He
seemed to prefer watching me and how I was progressing and
couldn't wait to see more. I began to notice that over time the
little wiggle in my walk was becoming more pronounced and more
natural. I also noticed that my hair seemed fuller and that my
skin was softer somehow but I attributed that to all those
expensive salon soaps and shampoos I was using.
The next morning the bell from the main gate rang. I answered
the intercom. It was the ladies who were to look in on me! I
opened the gates and soon two cars were rolling up the driveway.
It was a bit awkward inviting them in but soon the three ladies
were standing in the living room entry way looking me over as I
stood there in heels, full makeup and a dress! Up until now
Lawrence was the only other person who had ever seen me this
way. I was a bit uneasy about the whole thing but the ladies
were very business like and professional.
The dressmaker lady started taking my measurements then went to
my bedroom to look over my wardrobe while the hairstylist went
to the large laundry room on the main floor off the kitchen to
use as a temporary hair salon. She had brought a large case with
all her equipment and began setting up immediately. The third
lady, the one responsible for teaching me charm and elegance
gave me a good look over and had me walk and turn and give a
twirl or two. "Well, we've got a start at least. You're much
better, and more convincing than most students I've had but
you'll get better dear, much better" she said as she then asked
for a cup of coffee. "There's some already in the kitchen, help
yourself" I said. A few minutes later she was sipping coffee and
looking around the living room, getting her plan set and going
through a few of her books and magazines on feminine manners
while I took a seat in the laundry room.
I was about to mention a style or two but the hair stylist lady
said "Don't you worry dear, Mr. Gordon has already told me
exactly how he wants your hair done. You just relax and let me
do all the work" she said as
