Graduation Day (and Beyond) - Part 1 free porn video

Graduation Day (and Beyond) - Part I By Janis Elizabeth Prologue: Janet stood in line in eager anticipation outside the auditorium waiting for the processional to begin. Under her gold graduation robe, she wore a short-sleeved white dress, which fit nicely across her teenage bosom and then flared at the waist into a knee-length skirt. Beneath her dress, she was wearing a lovely white satin bra ad panties set and a white satin garter belt that her mom had gotten her especially for today. Nude stockings covered her legs and were attached to the garters, making her feel even more feminine as she experienced the tautness of the stockings and garters with each step in her white two- inch heels. Over her hairdo, just done that afternoon, she wore the gold graduation cap with the tassel in the school colors of blue and gold. She was the very picture of a typical teenage girl getting ready to graduate from high school. Standing there, Janet paused to reflect back over the last several years. This was not the scenario she had envisioned before she entered high school. Yet it was what she had come to want and desire. Despite the outward feminine appearance, Janet was actually a teenage boy named Josh. Outside of the school, only her Mom, her girl friend, and her girl friend's Mom, who also happened to be Janet's hair stylist, knew of the changes that had occurred making a young man into a pretty young lady. The Beginning It began one day in the middle of summer when Josh was home alone with nothing to do. He had no friends who lived nearby and the only way he could get to the mall was to be driven. So, more often than not, Josh was left to his own devices. Today, he was at a loss of what to do. He was tired of playing computer games; there was nothing worth watching on television; and he did not desire to spend any time reading. He was small of stature and body structure, genetic characteristics he had inherited from his Mom, which ruled out many sports activities. In fact, he and his Mom were approximately the same size and he seemed to have stopped growing. His Dad had died a few years ago in an auto accident. Mom had been left with enough money, from the insurance settlement and her husband's investments that she and Josh could live comfortably. However, Elizabeth, Josh's mom, had chosen to continue her career as a mid-level advertising executive. She didn't want to just sit around at home; she wanted to remain active and involved. As he wandered about the house looking for something to do, Josh came upon the laundry basket, sitting just outside the laundry room, filled with clean clothes ready to be put away. Mom usually put the clothes away in the evening, but had not had the time to do so last night. Since his clothes were neatly folded and on top of the pile, Josh thought he would help Mom by putting them away. As he lifted his things out of the basket, his eyes fell upon a soft, silky slip in emerald green with lace all over. Instinctively, as if being magically drawn to it, he reached out and touched the satin garment. As he did so, he felt a strange electrifying sensation, one that he had never experienced before. Quickly, Josh broke hand and eye contact with the slip and stepped away from the basket. He did not know what to make of this and felt that if he went on and put his things away, he would forget about the feeling of touching the slip. He set out to put his things away, only to be drawn back to the laundry basket once he had completed the task. He gazed longingly at the slip, as if it were some strange siren calling to him. When he finally moved from his trancelike state, he reached down and picked up the slip by its straps, letting it unfold as he lifted it up. As if it were fate, under the slip were the matching satin bra, panties and garter belt. Quickly Josh gathered up the rest of the lingerie and stood there feeling the smooth satin against his hands and arms. Instinctively, he knew that he had to try on these heavenly items. He retreated to his room, where he quickly undressed and then began to put the lingerie on. He figured if he hooked the bra in front of him and then slid it around and put the straps over his arms, he could get it on. He trembled with excitement as he put the garter belt on around his waist. He then stepped into the silky panties and drew them up around his legs. Once he had the panties and the slip on, he knew that he wanted to see himself in the full- length mirror in his Mom's room. As he entered her room, he noticed a pair of her stockings lying on the dresser. Josh picked them up and felt their softness on his hands before he sat on the bed to put them on. On many occasions, he had observed his Mom putting on her stockings when he passed her room and she had left the door slightly ajar. Now, he made sure that he did exactly as he had observed his Mom doing. Carefully he slid one stocking over his foot and up his leg, making sure to properly attach the top to the garter tabs. Once Josh had that stocking secure, he repeated the process and then stood to look at his reflection in his Mom's mirror. He could feel the tautness of the stocking pulling against the garters as he stood. With his longish hair and slight frame, Josh felt that he was looking at a teenage girl in the mirror instead of himself. As he savored this sensual experience, his one disappointment was that the bra hung limp and empty over his chest. Quickly he went to the dresser looking for some more of his Mom's panties to properly fill the bra cups. He took several silky pairs of panties and placed them in his bra. He loved how it made him look like he had breasts. He then sat at his Mom's vanity and briefly brushed his hair until it began to look more like a feminine hairdo. He again looked at his reflection in the full-length mirror and liked what he saw, from the enhanced breasts to the lingerie over his body to the style of his hair. Briefly, Josh turned away from the mirror and went to look in his Mom's closet. He carefully looked through the blouses and skirts hanging there until he came upon the gold satin cocktail dress that his Mom had worn on special occasions. He took it from the closet and removed it from its hanger. The feel of the satin dress in his hands increased his excitement. Carefully, he slid the dress over his head and put his arms into the short sleeves. He settled the dress over his body and then struggled to zip up the back. Josh could not have imagined how nice it would feel wearing his Mom's satin things. Before he moved from the closet, he saw the gold three-inch heels that went with the dress sitting on the closet floor. He picked them up, moved to the bed and sat down to put them on. He had observed his Mom sweep the skirt of a dress under her when she sat down and he now did the same thing. He slid his foot into the pointed toe pump and was pleased that it fit perfectly. Once the other heel was on, Josh made sure he was used to feeling the heels on his feet before trying to stand. When he did finally stand, he was a little wobbly but he did manage to hold onto the dresser until he could stand easily and start to walk in the heels. He again looked in the mirror and observed his image. He knew that he felt good dressed like this and his reflection confirmed that he looked good. He wanted to be totally feminine in appearance and apply makeup at this point but he knew that his inexperience could easily be his undoing. He just decided to savor the feel of the satin against his body rather than try to be fully feminine all at once. Josh stayed dressed for almost two hours that first time. He moved to his room while dressed and began searching the Web for more information about men that liked to wear dresses. He found all kinds of information from story sites to articles to sites that dealt with petticoat punishment. He even found a chat room where males who liked to wear women's things could meet and chat. Although definitely underage, he decided to go in and see what he could learn. When asked for his screen name, he thought for a minute or so and then entered "Janet." Josh decided, right then and there, that when he was dressed he would become Janet. He entered and chatted with others who seemed to share his newfound passion. When he realized how late it was getting, he quickly signed off. He did not want to be caught by his Mom. He removed her things and then dressed in his normal clothes. He tried to replace Mom's things just as they had been. Of course, he could not do it exactly and later in the day his Mom noticed the ill-folded lingerie in the laundry basket, her panties drawer in disarray and her cocktail dress slightly askew on the hanger. Although she had her suspicions, she said nothing to Josh at that point. However, Elizabeth did start to regularly leave one or two pieces of her lingerie on her dresser and one of her dresses hanging on the back of her bedroom door to see what would happen. For the next few weeks, Josh was a regular visitor to his Mom's room. He would select lingerie and a dress to wear, sometimes wearing what his Mom had intentionally set out for him, though not realizing she had done it purposefully. He would then go to his computer, perhaps read a story or two and then wind up in the chat room. He soon discovered that those that enjoyed women's apparel ran the gamut from the simple crossdresser such as himself to the full-fledged sissy to a wife, girl friend or Mistress. After he ended each computer session, he would reluctantly change clothes and try to put everything back as he had found it. Usually, there was a slight difference that Elizabeth could and usually did detect. One day, prior to leaving for work, Elizabeth left a white satin ankle- length nightgown and matching robe hanging on her door. She had just purchased this set especially for her son, if he wished to wear it. On her dresser, she placed a new lacy white satin bra, white satin garter belt and a pair of matching panties and a pair of black seamed stockings, also purchased at the same time the negligee set was purchased. She left a pair of fluffy white mules on the floor in front of the dresser. All of these items were meant to be pleasing both to the eyes and to the touch. She was hoping that Josh would not be able to resist the urge to wear them. Later that day, when Josh went to his Mom's room to see what he would wear; he saw the negligee set and the lingerie that appeared to be waiting for him. He was totally entranced by these things, just as his Mom had hoped he would be. He knew that his Mom had some nice clothes, but until today, he had not seen anything that looked this nice. When he looked at and touched both the negligee and the lingerie, Josh just knew that Janet must wear them today. He gathered all of the items up, including the stockings and the mules, and went to his room to change. It did not take him very long to put on these luscious fashions. Once dressed, he returned to his Mom's room for the panties he needed to fill his bra and to see the reflection of himself in the mirror wearing the negligee. As he walked to her room, he savored the feel of the satin nightgown and robe surrounding and covering him, as well as the usual tautness of his stockings tugging against his suspenders. He felt so wonderful and that feeling intensified after he filled his bra with panties and observed the pretty, feminine young woman looking back at him from the mirror. He turned and lifted his negligee to make sure the seams on his stockings were straight. He wished though that he could do something with his hair and had the nerve to wear makeup. After a few minutes of self-admiration and parading around in front of the mirror, he felt that he might need some protection, in the event of an accident. He did not want to leave a telltale stain on either the panties or the negligee. Several of his chat friends had mentioned using a maxi pad in their panties, both for protection and to keep themselves properly tucked in to maintain a feminine appearance in their panties. He went to the bathroom and found Mom's box of maxi pads stored under the sink. Josh opened the package, removed the adhesive strip and positioned the pad properly in his panties. It was a unique feeling for him walking with the pad between his legs. He took the packaging and the adhesive strip to his room. He planned to discard them later after he transitioned again from Janet back to Josh. Josh returned to his room and immediately went to the online chat room. He could not wait to tell anyone in the room who asked him what he was wearing that day. As he sat and moved around in his chair, he savored the feel of the bra tight across his chest and the satin panties and negligee caressing his body. He became so absorbed in chatting with two others that he did not hear his Mom return home and enter the house. Elizabeth had taken a half-day off to see if her thoughts about Josh and his behavior were correct. She took off her shoes and quietly made her way to Josh's room. Carefully, she looked in and saw her that her son was clad in the satin negligee and seemed to enjoy being dressed that way. Without being observed, she was able to move in behind him and notice both the screen name and the private chats that Janet was having. Before she could say or do anything, Josh noticed a slight movement behind him. He quickly turned around and saw his Mom standing there with a big smile on her face. His face reddened in embarrassment and he wanted to hide from her. Josh lowered his head, looked at the floor and felt that the world was about to end as he waited to receive his Mom's wrath. Instead, she quietly sat down on his bed and said how pretty he looked in the negligee. She mentioned that she wished she could have seen Janet dressed in some of her other things, especially the gold cocktail dress. Mom then asked if Janet was the name he had chosen for when he was dressed. All Josh could do was nod his head in response. Elizabeth commented that Janet was a very nice name and it seemed to fit her. She then asked if Janet liked wearing soft, silky clothes. At this point, Josh managed to regain some measure of speech and started to stammer out an apology for dressing in her clothes and promising never to do it again. He hadn't gotten too far into his halting statement when Mom took his hands gently into hers and said that she did not have a problem with Josh or Janet dressing femininely. If this was what he / she wanted, then it was fine all with her. But Mom expressed her concern that Janet had borrowed her clothes without permission. Elizabeth felt that it would be more appropriate if Janet, when she desired to dress, had her own wardrobe rather than having to continually borrow from her closet. She did say that Janet could still borrow things from her closet to wear, whenever she liked. Josh was stunned to hear his Mom say all of this. He had expected her wrath to come down upon him and to be called every vile name under the sun. Instead, she was offering him the opportunity to be Janet and have her own clothes. With tears rolling down his cheeks, he looked up at his Mom's smiling face and asked her if she was serious. Elizabeth nodded and then reached out to hug and to comfort Janet. She stroked his hair while he quietly sobbed on her shoulder. When she felt that he was calming down, she reached for some tissues so Josh could dry his eyes. She then asked if Josh would like to be Janet and dress full time. He eagerly nodded but asked how it could be done, especially with high school beginning in less than two weeks. Elizabeth said that when she first found signs that Janet was getting into her things, she had made a few assumptions and then made some inquiries based on those assumptions. There was a private all-girls' school nearby that accepted both regular students and specially attired students. She said that Parkside High School, sometimes know as TG High in the community due to the number of male students who dressed and acted as members of the opposite sex, would be able to accept Josh as a student, depending on his previous academic record. Elizabeth had seen that it was provided to them in a timely manner and had completed the application process. All that was needed was for Josh's feminine name to be added to the application and acceptance was assured. Josh would be Janet every day and dress daily in feminine apparel. She looked into his eyes and asked if this would be acceptable. Janet broke into a big smile and hugged her Mom tightly. All she could say was "Yes! Yes! Yes!" She then asked if Janet would model the negligee for her. As Janet eagerly stood and turned around, Mom commented on how nice the items looked on her and said they were purchased especially for her and were the first items in Janet's new wardrobe. Janet, not hearing what her Mom had just said, started to say that these were her Mom's when Elizabeth stopped her and again said she had gotten them especially for Janet. This time Janet realized what her Mom was telling her. She beamed as she again threw her arms around Mom's neck in a big hug. Elizabeth asked if Janet would lift her negligee for a moment and let Mom see her panties, suspenders and stockings. Janet quickly agreed and daintily lifted her negligee. Mom immediately noticed the feminine bulge in Janet's panties and asked if Janet was using a maxi pad. Janet blushed but assured her Mom that she was. It was for protection and for keeping herself tucked in. Mom smiled at how smart her daughter was and promised that there would always be a large supply of maxi pads available for both of them. Mom asked Janet if she had selected a middle name, since the school application required it. After a moment's thought, Janet asked her Mom if she could use Elizabeth in her honor as a middle name. This almost caused Mom to begin crying. However, she controlled herself and gave Janet another big hug. Elizabeth then mentioned that she had been speaking to a female lawyer friend about quietly changing Janet's name from its masculine form to the feminine Janet Elizabeth and was assured it could be done quickly and quietly and would be taken care of by the time school started. Mom then said that she should go and pick out an outfit for Janet so that they could shop for the new wardrobe that would be needed. She also suggested that Janet should start hanging her new clothes in the spare room closet, which would soon be furnished properly for a teenage girl, including space for the computer, so Janet could continue with her chats. Elizabeth left the room briefly to get Janet a nice outfit to change into for their shopping trip. While she waited happily for her mom to return, Janet removed the negligee and the mules and carefully placed them into her new closet. She felt like this was truly the first day of the rest of her new life. Janet's First Beauty Salon Experience Although Elizabeth had shown Janet most of the basics of hair care and makeup, she felt that a visit to a professional was in order for a new hairdo for school. In confidence, she had briefly mentioned to Linda, her long time stylist and friend about Josh / Janet. This was while Elizabeth was getting her hair done after the first shopping trip with Janet. She was hopeful that Linda would be willing to do Janet's hair and makeup on the Saturday before school opened. Linda was more than willing to do Janet's hair and makeup but suggested that Janet come around to her house on Sunday instead. She had a small salon set up in her basement for neighborhood customers, which she operated some evenings and Sundays. Linda felt that Janet might be more comfortable getting her hair done for the first time there rather than be in the crowded salon on Saturday. This way, Janet could relax and would not feel intimidated or pressured. She could learn the step-by-step techniques that she needed for hair and makeup care. Linda even mentioned that her daughter Megan might help. When Elizabeth looked questioningly at Linda about this, she was told that Megan was two years older than Janet and had not shown any inclination toward boys yet. For that matter, she had shown no inclination toward girls yet either. She went on to point out that Megan attended Parkside, not because of the dress code, but because she was able to get a good private school education as well as work on her future career as a hair stylist. Before Elizabeth left the salon that day, she made sure she confirmed the time of Janet's appointment with Linda. On Sunday morning, Janet awoke earlier than usual. The previous day, her Mom had told her about her upcoming hair appointment with Linda and Linda's daughter Megan. She was excited and eagerly looking to her first beauty salon experience, although she was unsure how a girl near her age would react to a boy in panties and a skirt. Elizabeth had said that Janet would have a shampoo, hot oil conditioning, frosting, set and manicure. Also, Linda would show Janet how to do her makeup and to care for her skin and her new hairdo. The fact that Mom trusted Linda, both as a hair stylist and as a confidant, was the important item for Janet. She was also interested in seeing how Megan behaved toward her. She went into the bathroom, carrying the bra, garter belt and panties, all in pink satin, which she would wear after her shower. She properly disposed of her maxi pad and then removed her waltz-length pink satin nightie and panties and put them in the laundry hamper. Since her first day, one of Janet's chores in helping Mom around the house was to empty the hamper and sort the laundry. Gradually, Mom hoped that Janet would be able to do the laundry completely on her own. She was already hand washing all of their lingerie. Janet put her pink plastic shower cap over her hair and stepped into the hot shower. Mom had taught her how to shave what little body hair she had and how to use a depilatory cream when necessary. As she washed, Janet delighted in the feel of her soft hairless body. After the shower, she dried off, using one of the big, pink fluffy towels on the bath counter. She made sure to use some of the scented bath talc and then put on her bra and inserted her b-sized breast forms into the cups. When Mom had her first hints about Janet, she had gone out and bought a pair of realistic b-sized breast forms. When her son had said that he wanted to dress and be her daughter, she surprised him with the breast forms she had purchased to give him a proper feminine shape for a teenage girl his age. Mom felt that Janet would not look right or feel comfortable with her bra stuffed with panties day in and day out. Janet had been so appreciative of those from the very first day. Next she put the garter belt around her waist. Finally she put on the lacy, satin panties and the requisite maxi pad. Janet always felt so feminine when she first put on her lingerie. Before returning to her room to finish dressing, she checked her appearance in the mirror. Satisfied with what she saw, she then checked her toenails to see if they needed touching up. The other night, while they were dressed in satin nightgowns prior to going to bed, Mom had helped her do her toenails in a vibrant pink polish. Janet looked and saw that her nails still looked as good as they did the other night. Returning to what was Josh's room, as the spare room was awaiting the new furniture to turn it into a femininely decorated room suitable for a teenage girl; Janet sat on the bed and picked up the taupe stockings she had set out. Carefully she drew the first one over her foot and drew it up her leg. She stood briefly to attach the stocking top to the garters before sitting and repeating the process. She enjoyed feeling the tautness of the stocking and the garter belt as she moved. Mom had said that stockings and heels made Janet's legs look so nice and shapely. Janet put on the pink satin blouse she had chosen to wear and buttoned it up. It had a high neckline with long full sleeves and resembled one she had seen worn by the Mistress / hostess of one of the sites she regularly visited online. Janet felt that if she could look half as beautiful as this Mistress, she would be quite feminine indeed. She put on a straight gray skirt that ended just above her knee. As she zipped up the back and buttoned the top button, she glanced at the skirt for any lint, which might need to be removed. She smoothed the skirt over her hips and felt somewhat limited in her stride as she walked. Janet then put on her two-inch heels that matched her skirt. As she was getting her hair and makeup done a little later, she knew that she did not have to take the time now to do them. She sat there savoring what she was wearing, when Elizabeth called to her and asked if she was ready. Picking up her gray purse and putting the strap on her shoulder, Janet said she would be right there. She tied a pink silk headscarf over her hair, since Mom had said that it should be covered until they got to Linda's. As she came to the entry foyer, Janet heard Elizabeth say how nice she looked and that she hoped Janet would enjoy her day of beauty. Janet smiled and said she was ready for it. They drove the short distance to Linda's house, a rancher in a nice development. Elizabeth pulled into the drive behind Linda's sedan. She looked at Janet and asked if she was ready. Janet smiled and nodded, although she did admit to a bit of nervousness. Elizabeth assured her that she had nothing to be nervous about. After all, she was just getting her hair done. They walked to the door and rang the bell. In a few seconds, a pretty teenager dressed in a well-fitted pink uniform, stockings and tennis shoes opened the door. Once inside, the teen introduced herself as Megan, Linda's daughter. She turned to Janet and told her how nice she looked and had chosen a pretty outfit to wear. As she led then downstairs to the salon area, she asked Janet if she would be going to Parkside. When Janet said yes that she would be attending Parkside, Megan asked if she could be her big sister during her first year there and guide her through the rough and unfamiliar passages of high school. Janet said that she would be happy to have Megan as a big sister at school. As they entered the salon area, Linda greeted Elizabeth warmly and then turned to meet Janet. Her first comment was that Janet was certainly more feminine than many of the "new" girls that she knew at Parkside. Janet blushed but accepted this compliment graciously. She then noticed that Linda was dressed in the same manner as Megan, well-fitted pink uniform and all. When Janet asked about this, Linda replied that, in her home salon, she tried to maintain the appearance and feel of the 50's neighborhood salons, even though all of the equipment and fixtures were fairly modern. Linda had Janet sit in her styling chair while she fastened a pink plastic shampoo cape around Janet's neck and draped it over her clothes. She then took her to the shampoo bowl and had Janet recline in the chair so that her neck rested in the bowl's cutout. Having donned a pink plastic cobbler's apron over her uniform, Megan took her Mom's place to do Janet's shampoo. After making sure the water was the proper temperature, she thoroughly wet Janet's hair and applied the shampoo. She worked up a rich lather and massaged Janet's scalp in the process. Janet sighed audibly at how relaxing this was, which caused Megan to comment that many women found the shampoo as relaxing as Janet did. Rinsing the first lathering from the hair, Megan proceeded to repeat the process. Once the second shampooing was completed, Megan squeezed the excess water from Janet's hair and then wrapped a towel around her head and led her back to her Mom's styling chair. Linda had also donned a pink plastic cobbler's apron and was waiting for Janet to return. She smiled at Janet and removed the towel covering her hair. She quickly applied the conditioner and then placed a plastic conditioning cap over Janet's hair. Lastly, the heat cap was fitted snugly over the conditioning cap and the chinstrap was fastened under Janet's chin. Once the heat cap was turned on, Janet felt the warmth it generated all over her head. While enjoying the nice effects of the heat cap, she had a chance to look at the d?cor of the salon. The walls were done in a pastel color, in keeping with this feminine sanctuary. Against one wall were three hair dryers with plastic domes. The shampoo bowl was in one corner of the room and Linda's styling station was against another wall. There was a second styling station set up right next to Linda's station. Trays of rollers and perm rods were on carts between the two stations. Two large cabinets were against another wall, one holding towels and the other holding various salon supplies. There was also a small roller table with several bottles of nail polish, apparently for doing manicures along with a small chair. Posters depicting women with various hairstyles covered the walls. There were also three chairs set up, which could be used by waiting patrons. Mom, Linda and Megan, engaged in seemingly pleasant conversion, presently occupied them. Janet did notice that Elizabeth and Linda would hold hands like a couple of lovebirds. However, she did not think there was anything meant by this. At that moment, Megan rose from her chair and came over to Janet. She turned off the heat cap and removed both caps from her head. She led Janet to the shampoo bowl where she rinsed off the excess conditioner and then took another towel and squeezed water from the hair. Megan then had Janet move back to the styling chair. She placed a towel around Janet's caped shoulders and used a big hair clip to hold it in front. A close fitting plastic cap was placed over Janet's head and hair. While making sure it provided a tight covering, Megan explained that this was a frosting cap. She tied the ends of the cap in a pretty bow under Janet's chin. Picking up a small hook, she proceeded to pull strands of hair through the cap. Linda would monitor Megan to make sure she was doing it properly. When Linda determined that enough of Janet's hair had been pulled through the cap, she had Megan lay the hook aside. Linda put on plastic gloves and picked up a bowl of liquid and a small brush. She proceeded to cover the top of the cap and all of the hair that had been pulled through the cap with the liquid. She explained that this was the frosting and would give Janet's hair nice highlights and contrast. A plastic cap was placed over the frosted hair and Linda led Janet to one of the domed hair dryers. The dome was lowered over Janet's head and the air turned on. Janet sat under the dryer savoring each step in her salon process. Megan came over and handed Janet a ladies magazine to read while she was under the dryer. Janet glanced at articles and ads dealing with hair, makeup, exercise and even feminine hygiene. Before she could really start to read any of the articles, the dryer went off. Megan came over and lifted the dome up and led Janet back to the shampoo bowl. She also had on plastic gloves as she removed the plastic cap and rinsed off the excess. Finally, she carefully removed the frosting cap and returned Janet to Linda's station. As Linda rolled Janet's hair, she explained that Elizabeth had wanted a basic, low maintenance hairstyle for Janet. Linda felt that the style she was creating would satisfy this. Once her head was covered with rollers, Janet had a pink hairnet tied over them. She was again led to the dryer and seated under the domed hood. Before she could pick up the magazine to read, Megan came over with the manicure table and sat down before Janet. She had Janet soak the nails on both hands. Taking one hand, Megan began to work on the cuticles, cleaning and shaping them. She repeated on the other hand and then started to apply polish to each nail. The same vibrant pink polish that Mom had used on her toenails was now being applied to her fingernails. Two coats of the polish were applied and then a clear topcoat went on to protect the nail and the finish. Megan used a portable hair dryer to for quick drying. As she gazed down on her nails Janet was pleased with their appearance, perfectly befitting a teenage girl. After Megan finished doing Janet's nails, she lifted the dryer dome to see if Janet was dry. She untied the hairnet and then unwound one curl. Satisfied that Janet's hair was dry, she turned off the dryer and had Janet follow her back to Linda's styling station. Instead of removing the rollers and finishing the style, Linda took another pink hairnet and tied it over Janet's rollers. She also placed a large pink shower cap over the rollers, indicating that she was going to first do Janet's makeup before taking the rollers out. Linda carefully applied a little liquid foundation to Janet's face and spread it out so as to provide a light coating over the skin. She used some face powder next. Linda reminded Janet that she was a young teenage girl and, as such, she did not need much makeup. Her use of makeup should simply highlight her own natural youthful glow. She showed Janet how to apply just a little blush to give her cheeks some color and then advised her about using eye shadow and mascara for school. Lastly, she applied the pink lipstick to Janet's lips that was an exact match for her nail polish. As Linda worked applying the makeup, she also was teaching Janet how to apply her own makeup. Once finished with the makeup, Linda proceeded to remove the rollers from Janet's hair and begin the styling process. She used her comb, brush, styling gel and curling iron to fashion Janet's new hairstyle. She made sure that Janet was facing away from the station mirror, so she would be surprised to observe the finished product once Linda was done. Lastly, Linda picked up the can of hairspray and applied a light coating to Janet's hair. She then turned Janet toward the mirror and asked what she thought. Janet gazed at her feminine reflection in the mirror and was at a complete loss of words. Elizabeth and Megan both told Janet how pretty she looked and that her new hairstyle was perfect for her for school. Janet just simply beamed hearing these words as she gazed at her reflection. After Linda removed the plastic cape covering Janet's body, and the bill had been paid, the two mothers and two daughters chatted some while seated in the various chairs in the home salon. Soon the talk turned to the new school year. Megan was talking about the Parkside environment, the teachers and her fellow students. She said that Janet would quickly feel very comfortable there and would fit right in. Megan also offered to drive her to school, as she had to go right by Janet's house. Janet thanked Megan for her kind offer and asked what time she should be ready. Megan told her and then said to allow for extra time to get ready, as it would be her first day of school as Janet. Elizabeth at last realized how late it the day it was getting and they should be leaving to allow Megan and Linda to get some rest. As they made their way up from the basement salon, it was Megan who first realized that there was a steady rain falling outside. She wondered aloud what could be done to protect Janet's clothes and new hairdo, even facetiously suggesting that Janet borrow two of the salon's shampoo capes to drape over her pretty clothes and her hair. Linda suggested that Megan get her hooded plastic raincoat for Janet, since they appeared to be about the same size. This way, Janet would have a plastic covering for her outfit and hair and could return it to Megan the next day. Quickly, Megan went to the hall closet and came over to Janet with a clear plastic, belted hooded raincoat. She held it out for Janet, similarly to how a man assists a woman with her coat, and allowed Janet to slide it on. Megan watched as Janet buttoned the raincoat, secured the belt around her waist and pulled the hood up to cover her hair. Seeing Janet thus attired, Megan impulsively reached out and hugged her. While she had attended school with boys who wanted to be girls, she had never been involved in one's transition, let alone being a part of the beginning of Janet's new life.
