Danielle's New Life
By Scott Wilson
My name is Danielle Patricia Ricci. I live just outside Milan, Italy
with my husband Carlo and our two daughters, Maria (5) and Sophia
(3). Carlo and I have a small, but high end, fashion design house. We
sell our fashion designs all over the world, to some of the most
exclusive fashion houses.
My story actually starts much earlier. I was born on July 6, 1990, as
Daniel Patrick Murphy, to my parents John and Susan Murphy. I was
named after Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a man that my Father really
admired. I was an only child, as were my parents and were my
grandparents. As most 1st born children are, I was a bit on the small
side. In high school, I was only 5'6" and 140lbs. I enjoyed playing
sports, including football, wrestling, baseball and basketball. But,
I was never very good and/or big enough for any of them.
Through the last two years of High School, Jamie Patterson was my
girlfriend. We were the same age and shared several classes together.
Since I was a bit shy, she actually asked me out the first time. We
were very close and spent much of our time together, to the dismay of
our friends. Her parents loved me as much as my own parents did.
Unlike most of my friends, I never grew up in a house. When I was
born, my parents moved into an apartment and that's where I grew up.
They never wanted the expenses and responsibility of taking care of a
house.
After a 2007/2008 New Year's Eve party, my parents were driving home.
It was stormy and a tree fell over, hitting the top of their car and
killing them both. It was ruled an "Act of God" and no one took
responsibility. Jamie's parents took me under their wings, so to
speak, while things were getting worked out.
My only living relative was an 81-year-old 4th or 5th cousin, from my
Great Grand Father's side, who lived in Florida and who I have never
met. Because I was so close to turning 18 the Court emancipated me.
But, under the understanding that Jamie's parents, Sam and Megan,
would watch over me.
They offered to let me move in with them but, I wasn't ready to let
go of the apartment that I had been raised in. I ate most of my
dinners with them but, went home to spend the night in my room. To be
honest, I am not sure I could have survived that time without their
support.
My parents weren't wealthy but, between their savings and insurance,
they left me $200,000. With Sam and Megan's help, I put it into a
Trust Fund that would pay for my college and to help me get settled
after I graduated. My trust was all of the money I had. Being raised
in an apartment, I wanted to buy and live in a house someday. At
Jamie's parent's suggestion, yes kids do listen to adults, I decided
to spend the first two years at our local Community College. It would
save me a ton of money I could use later towards the purchase of a
house. Plus, Jamie was going there and we could spend more time
together.
My last semester of High School was tough. Not because of the
academics but, because I had to deal with the loss of my parents. I
have to say; my friends and teachers were amazing with all of the
support they gave me.
One thing I have always have loved to do, and was good at, was to
draw. I especially loved to draw my friends. I didn't have any
training, it just came to me. My Father once told me that I was one
of those people that are just born with a talent. Such as, those who
are really musical or smart. They had offered to send me to some art
classes but I said no.
For my last semester I thought it might be fun, and a way to take my
mind off everything, to take a drawing class that the School offered.
I had a really good time. I continued drawing caricatures of my
friends, which everyone wanted. Towards the end of the class, we were
given an assignment to make a full body drawing of someone. To make
it a bit harder, we were not to draw what they were wearing but what
you could visualize them wearing. At the time, I didn't realize the
huge impact this one assignment would have on my life.
Jamie offered to be my model. I have drawn her many times so that
part wouldn't be that hard. I just wanted it to be the most
flattering image I could draw. The first person that came to my mind
was Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly had both grace and beauty. She was the
epitome of elegance. I looked at various pictures of women's/girl's
dresses and outfits. I found what I was looking for.
Jamie sat there for me, like she had many times before, and I just
drew from memory. With-in an hour, I was finished. She was looking
very demure, Grace Kellyish. I had her wearing a flowing floor length
dress, with long sleeves and not so low cut to show any cleavage. I
had her hair in curls cascading down each side of her head.
When Jamie saw it, she cried saying she loved it and my best so far.
I told her about Grace Kelly being my inspiration. She smiled, and
said that this shows that I have a sense for fashion. She predicted
that, if I put my mind to it, I could probably become a famous
fashion designer someday. I told her that I had never thought about
it before but, it did come easy for me. I got an A on my project and
my teacher echoed Jamie's thoughts perfectly and told me to give it
some thought.
Soon school was over and I decided it was time to move out of the
apartment. There were too many memories there that made me sad. Plus,
if I got a one-bedroom apartment I could save around $750 per month.
Sam offered to let me move in with them. But with the way I felt
about Jamie, I thought it would probably lead to getting into
trouble, as if having my own apartment wouldn't.
I used the some of the furniture from my old apartment and sold the
rest. With my new start, the hurt started getting easier to deal
with. Jamie and I took a couple of camping trips including hiking the
John Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
When school started in September, I took the required lower division
courses. At Jamie's insistence, I also enrolled in the Apparel &
Fashion Illustration class. After the first month, I was hooked and
declared my major as Fashion-Applied Apparel Studies.
I sailed through those first two semesters. My instructors seemed to
think I had a real knack for designing and sewing women's clothes,
they liked my designs. By the end of the 2nd semester, I moved from
my one-bedroom apartment back into a two bedroom. The 2nd bedroom
became my design studio with a table to draw on, another to lay out
material and a sewing machine. I had made Jamie a couple of outfits,
as I did for her Mom and a few of our friends.
One common comment I did receive, was that my designs looked like
clothes a man would design for a woman to wear. They said, what I
needed to start thinking about was, how a woman would design clothes
that women would want to wear.
To sweeten the pot, so to speak, they said that, "There is a very
real possibility that you could get a scholarship from one of the big
design schools. But, for you to be considered, you would need to
start producing clothes from a woman's perspective. Being a straight
man, you are somewhat of a disadvantage, in that you think like a
man. Gay men tend to think more like women. That is why they tend to
be more successful than straight men."
I mentioned this to Jamie and asked for her help. I could see a
lightbulb go off in her head.
"Well, I certainly don't want you to become gay, not that there is
anything wrong with that. But, if you need to start thinking about
how a woman thinks, for your designs, why don't you spend some time
as one?"
"Huh, what are you talking about?"
"It will be fun. I can teach you how to become a woman. By spending
time as a woman, and observe other women, you learn and better
understand how we think."
"There's no way I could ever pass as a woman."
"Let me dress you and if you still think you won't pass then I will
drop it. If you think you will pass, then you will have to spend much
of this summer as Danielle. Do we have a deal?"
She had me in a corner so I said yes. The next morning, she came over
carrying a suit case and a couple of other bags. She handed me a
bottle of Nair and told me to shower, wash my shoulder length hair. I
was to use the Nair from my eyebrows, down to my toes. I wasn't very
hairy but, I was a bit shocked by the results.
Jamie came in, handing me a pair of panties, a bra and gel inserts
and a summer dress to put on. When I finished dressing, she had me
sit down. She blow dried my hair and used her curling iron until I
had beachy waves. She cleaned up my eyebrows by doing some plucking
and applied make up to my face. She then applied a bright pink nail
polish to my fingers and toes.
This whole time she never allowed me to look into a mirror. When I
did finally see myself, I tried not to look shocked. I have to admit
that I looked like a girl but, I didn't tell Jamie that.
Trying to save my dignity, "See I told you I would look like a guy in
a dress."
Jamie just smiled, "I saw the look on your face. Come on, we will
test this out. Let's go to the mall and if anyone sees you as anyone
other than a 19-year old woman, then we will come home. If not, then
you will spend the rest of the day as Danielle and we will discuss
further excursions. Deal?"
What choice did I really have? So, I said, "Yes."
She gave me a pair of sandals to put on, a necklace, clip on
earrings, a couple of rings and a purse to carry. The whole drive
there, I was scared shitless. Jamie almost had to literally drag me
out of her car. We went inside and no one was paying attention to us.
Of course, Jamie had to say, "I told you so."
We had been there about a half hour when two of our friends, Beth and
Sarah, walked up to us. I started to panic and Jamie calmly said,
"Don't worry they know all about this and they are here to help you."
They joined us and couldn't help but gush about how good I looked.
We had lunch and spent the rest of the day shopping. They had me try
on all sorts of outfits. I must admit I was enjoying myself and knew
this wasn't going to be the last time. By the time we left, I had a
couple of new outfits, my own bra and panty sets and 3 pair of shoes.
On the way out, we passed Claire's. Jamie took my hand saying, "You
need to get your ears pierced." I tried to protest and her response
was, "Lots of guys have pierced ears, especially in the area you want
to work." Of course, Jamie made perfect sense. Half an hour later, we
were leaving with me wearing a "diamond" stud in each ear lobe.
I knew I had lost the bet. Jamie had me going out, as Danielle, at
least 3 times a week. We did more shopping but, I ended up buying
most of my new clothes at places like Ross and Marshalls. We also hit
some of the local Thrift Shops. The more we went out, the more
comfortable that I felt. After a couple of weeks, we went to San
Francisco for a couple days. We just two girlfriends spending time
together.
One thing I tried, before Danielle, was to take some of my drawing to
the mall. I would ask random women what they thought about them.
After talking with at least, 50 different women, I never got any
constructive criticism. Most of the time, it was just, "Oh they are
nice." When asked if they would buy one, they would say something
like, "I don't really know."
By the third week, I was feeling comfortable enough to go out on my
own. Dressed as Danielle, I went out with my drawings. I asked 20
random women for some feedback on my drawings. The difference was
huge. They were more than happy to make suggestions how they might be
changed.
I made the changes, that were suggested, and went to the mall again
as Dan. I did get some better responses than I had before. But, the
results were pretty much the same. The responses as Danielle were so
much better. In fact, I had a couple of women say they would
definitely buy one of my dresses if it was available.
I kept redoing my drawing and making new ones. As I did this, my
responses got more positive. By time the summer was over, I was
spending almost as much time as Danielle as I did as Dan. I felt very
comfortable as Danielle and I learned a lot about now women thought
and acted. Jamie made sure that I learned to be a woman from other
women.
As much as I felt comfortable as Danielle, I never had any over
whelming desire to become Danielle. I looked at Danielle as a
character I was playing. Similar to an actor playing a character in a
play or movie. But, I did start wearing panties exclusively, they
just felt better. I also, kept my body hairless. Jamie liked me that
way.
As my 3rd semester got started, my instructors looked at my new
images from the summer and immediately noticed the difference. For
the rest of the school year, Danielle became a big part of me. As the
season's changed, so did my drawings. I continued to spend as much,
or maybe a bit more, time as Danielle. Jamie's only comment was that
maybe she was going to have to become a lesbian.
On thing I learned about being Danielle, was how I was treated
different. When I went out as Danielle, I would only use products
made for women. I was shocked that I would have to pay more for
common household items, such as shampoo and deodorant than I would
for men's products. As my designs showed more a female perspective, I
asked what the women thought I could sell them for. I was shocked
that Dan could actually charge more than Danielle could, and that was
from other women. I was constantly getting hit upon by men, who many
times wouldn't take no for an answer. I felt degraded by all of the
cat calls, getting my butt pinched or patted and comments that were
made to me. Jamie and Danielle went to a Taylor Swift concert. I can
now appreciate having to wait in line to use the bathroom.
Jamie was constantly getting me to open up and let my emotions take
over. She had me keep a diary, writing my thoughts as Danielle. Those
nights we spent together, she had me assume the "girl" role and she
assumed the "guy" role. She would wear one of my tee shirts and old
boxer shorts. I would wear a nighty. She gave me a male chastity cage
to put on when we were together. She said that this was so I wouldn't
be thinking about my cock. She also introduced me to "getting laid"
by her and her dildo.
At that moment, our roles changed forever. I had become the
submissive "girl" and she became my Dominant "guy." About the only
time Dan would come out was when I had to go to school or to take my
drawings out for review. Danielle was so taking over my life that,
Dan was looked at as being gay Dan. Gay Dan's drawing were much
better received than Dan's. Plus, they were given a much higher price
that Dan's would have.
I applied to several different Fashion Design schools, literally
round the world.
I was accepted at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Pratt and the
Parsons School of Design (all in New York City), School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti and Instituto
Europeo di Design Milan and the University of the Arts London,
Central Saint Martins. I purposely didn't apply to any California,
especially LA, schools. Jamie had been accepted to UCLA where she was
going to major in Pre-Med. We thought that being so close would be a
distraction, for both of us.
Of all of the schools, the only one to offer me a scholarship, was
the University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins. The
scholarship covered my tuition and other costs, e.g., books,
material, etc. I would have to provide for my living expenses. But,
they had arrangements, with several building owners, to rent out
furnished flats for ?500 ($650) per month, including utilities.
All of the other schools were charging $15,000 - $25,000 per
semester, for tuition and expenses, plus living expenses. Going to
London seemed like a no brainer. I accepted their offer. But, I had
to have a sit-down interview to finalize my acceptance and
scholarship. During our Spring break, Jamie and I flew to London for
a few days. I brought my drawings, and 3 samples of dresses that I
had designed and sewed.
They loved what I had done but, said they were much improved for what
I had submitted earlier. But, I still needed to work more on trying
to design from the female perspective. They accepted me and I was to
start school on Monday September 6, 2010. I was to come a week early
and sign up for my classes.
Jamie had an idea. She suggested that I spend the summer in London as
Danielle to further refine my female persona. I would leave the first
week in June and find a flat to live in. Then she would come a week,
or so, later and we would spend the summer there together.
I gave notice at my apartment that I would be moving out June 1. I
started going through my things and put them into 3 piles. One for
what I was taking to London, one to be gotten rid of and the 3rd to
be put into storage for when I came back. June 1, my bags were packed
and I left my apartment for the last time.
The plan was that I would fly over, get a hotel, transform myself
into Danielle and start looking for a flat/apartment. Jamie would
meet me there a week later. She wanted to have everything packed, for
her move to UCLA, so she could spend as much time in London with me
as possible. We would talk every day and see each other on breaks,
holidays, etc. It was only for two years. After that, I would be
finished and could move to LA to be with her.
I had an overnight flight and arrived in London early in the morning.
I had made a reservation at a hotel that was near the University of
the Arts London, Central Saint Martins, where I had been accepted. I
checked in and took a much-needed shower. I put on a bra and gaff, a
pair of tight jeans, a long sleeve blouse boots with 4" heels,
earrings and a necklace. I put on some makeup, and rearraigned my
hair, which was well below my shoulders now.
Somewhere along the line, I had been given a card for the Vidal
Sassoon school nearby. I called and was told they could get me in at
1:00. It was actually close enough to walk. After sitting for 12
hours on the plane, I felt I needed to "stretch" things out.
I arrived a few minutes early and they took me right to the back, to
change into a smock. As I walked back in, one of the stylists,
Christy, met me and showed me back to her chair. I told her that I
was going to spend the summer as Danielle and that I wanted her to
give me a makeover. After a few minutes, we agreed that I would get
highlights and have my hair cut in layers with side bangs. My
eyebrows would be arched and I would get gel nails that extended ?"
past the end of my fingers.
After I was finished, I went to have a cup of coffee. As I sat there,
a woman walked in. There weren't any tables available and she asked
if she could share mine. I said yes and we started chatting. I told
her I was planning on spending the summer in London before starting
my design classes in the fall.
Jenn asked him, "Where are you going to live?"
Danielle said, "I am not sure yet, I am going to start looking
tomorrow morning."
"There is a flat available in my building."
She gave me the address. On the way back to the hotel, I remembered
that I needed to take of picture of Danielle to send to Jamie. I
happened to be at Trafalgar Square. I asked someone to take my
picture with Admiral Nelson's monument in the background and I sent
it to Jamie.
I went out looking for a flat the next day. I had a cab take me to
the address that Jenn had given me. She was home and invited me in
for a spot of tea before I could contact the manager. I went in and
we mostly made small talk. When the tea was ready, Jenn poured us
both a cup. Jenn kept talking, not touching her tea. I didn't seem to
notice and took a sip of mine. After a couple more sips, I started to
get drowsy and was out like a light.
Jamie's parents dropped her off at the San Francisco International
Airport for her flight to London. She was a bit worried because she
hadn't been able to get a hold of me for a few days now. She received
a text message saying that I had found a flat. I was in a hurry and
would call her later. I also told her that I was going to meet her at
the airport and take her to our new flat.
When her plane landed, I was nowhere in sight. She tried to call me
and it went directly to voice mail. She waited an hour before hailing
a taxi to take her to a hotel somewhere. She tried several more times
to call me with no luck. The next morning, still no contact so she
went to the local police. She told them how I went missing and asked
for their help.
They ran the name Daniel Patrick Murphy, July 6, 1990, American,
through their system.
"I am sorry Miss but, no one by that name has entered the UK in the
last 6 months."
"That's impossible. I was with him in March when he came to interview
for the school."
"What is your name?"
"Jamie Marie Patterson, American."
"Oh yes we see you entering on March 23rd and leaving on March 25th.
But, we have no record of anyone accompanying you."
"Please check again."
"I am sorry Miss there is nothing here."
"Here is his phone number can you get a trace on that?"
"I am sorry Miss but, we aren't getting anything on that either."
Jamie showed them the picture that I had sent her. They went through
the video coverage and I wasn't anywhere to be seen.
Jamie was devasted. She went to the American Embassy and told them
her story. They checked their data base for Daniel Patrick Murphy,
1876 Howe Ave, Sacramento, CA 95864, DOB 7/6/1990, SSA and Passport
numbers unknown. Their data bases showed that was no such person
existed. They did find a total of 12 Daniel Patrick Murphy's. None of
them were even close to my age. They gave her a case number. She was
told her to return home and see if she could find his SSA and/or
passport number. If she could find those, go to the local FBI office
and see if they can help.
When Jamie got home, she went to my storage shed. She opened it up, I
used her birthday for the combo, and found it to be empty. She went
to the FBI, giving them, the case number and she told them what had
happened, including the storage shed. They said they would check and
get back to her. The next day, she received a call from the FBI
saying that they couldn't find any evidence that I ever existed. They
said they would keep the case open.
A week later, a "rumor" went around that my parents were in the
Witness Protection Program. They had been discovered and the
"accident" that killed them, was staged. "They" just recently found
out about me and I was whisked away and put into protection. That
seemed to make sense. Jamie had no choice but to accept it.
"Hi Diane, she is starting to come around. ... Yes, I will let you
know when she is fully awake."
I felt drowsy and groggy. I had the sense that I was in a bed but ...
I fell back asleep. This time I could better focus and see that I am
in some kind of room, lying in bed with wrist restraints on. No one
is in the room and I start yelling, "Hello is anyone there? Where am
I?" My voice sounded a bit weird. A few minutes later this woman, in
here late 40's or early 50's, walks in.
"Hello Danielle, my name is Diane, how are you feeling?"
"How do you think I feel? Where am I and why am I restrained in this
bed? What's going on, why does me voice sound so different?"
"All in good time, just relax and as soon as the anesthesia fully
wears off, I will be back in and we will talk."
I was still a bit groggy and thought I misheard her when she said
anesthesia. But, the way I was feeling, it made perfect sense. Half
an hour later, Diane came back in.
"Okay let's talk. I will answer all of your questions but, let me do
the talking. Okay?"
I nodded yes and she proceeded, "Like I said, my name is Diane. You
are still in London and you have been here for 6 weeks now. I have a
business where I help young gifted artists, like yourself, get
started and excel in their art. We have been watching you for a while
now. We know that you have great potential to become one of the top
Fashion Designers, of your generation.
What we do is to sponsor, support and encourage people like yourself.
In your case, we are offering to give you a full scholarship to the
Instituto Europeo di Design in Milan, Italy. You will also be given a
monthly stipend to cover your living expenses. When, yes, I said
when, you graduate, you will be placed in one of the most exclusive
Design Houses in the world."
"That's nice but I still don't understand. I have always found that
if something seems too good to be true, it probably isn't. What's in
it for you?"
"Okay, long story short, we get a portion of your earnings to pay us
back and to make it worth our while. By the time you start work, we
will have invested more than $150,000 in you. We anticipate,
conservatively, that with-in 5 years, you will be making a 7-figure
income. So, for the first 5 years, you will pay us back with 25% of
your income. After 5 years, that reduces to 10%. We anticipate that
our investment, in you, will yield us well over $2,000,000."
"What prevents me from just leaving or flunking out of the school?"
"Let me finish and then you are free to sign on or leave the choice
is yours."
"Okay, I'll listen."
"Good. We were especially impressed on how you would transform
yourself into Danielle to gain a greater insight on how women think.
The differences in your designs before Danielle and after were
dramatic. We have found that when someone adapts to being the
opposite sex so easily, they have a deep seeded need to become the
other sex.
We have made some changes to help you start living as Danielle
fulltime. You asked about your voice. Your vocal cords have been
surgically changed to give you a higher, more natural pitch. You have
received electrolysis on your face so you won't have to worry about
shaving ever again. You have been given breast implants. Nothing to
radical, you are a full B cup right now. You have been castrated, the
head of your penis has been formed into a clitoris, your urethra has
been relocated to the same area as a female. The skin from your
scrotum and penis, have been used to give you a vulva and both a
labium major and minor. We don't do the full vaginoplasty because it
requires too much time for healing. Unless someone looks very close,
no one will be able to tell that you aren't a natural woman. You have
started HRT. Estrogen pellets have been implanted in your right hip.
These will last for about 4 - 5 months. You can get them replaced if
you want to."
I immediately looked down and saw that I did have two mounds pushing
up on my hospital gown. I couldn't reach to between my legs but, I
had the feeling that Diane was telling me the truth.
"I don't know why you are doing this. I never wanted to be a woman.
It was just a role I was playing. It was my girlfriend's idea and it
worked out very well. As soon as I get out of here, I am going to the
police and have you thrown in jail."
"What you don't understand, yet, is that you have only two options.
You can go right now, there are clothes in the closet and drawers. No
one will stop you. Or, you can stay here and become more successful
than you could ever imagine. The choice is yours."
"Release me and I am out of here!"
"Oh, a couple of other things first. Daniel Patrick Murphy, no longer
exists. All records of you have been expunged, right down to your
Birth Certificate and School Records. Your Trust fund is now under my
control and at a different location. You are broke, with no identity.
The only things you will have are the clothes you will be wearing.
This isn't the first time we have done this. We have had others
choose to leave but, they come crawling back after a few weeks of
begging just get something to eat. If you leave, you will have one
week to come back. Otherwise you are on your own.
On the other hand, if you accept our help, then your identity as
Danielle Patricia Logan will be fully restored. Complete with a new
Birth Certificate, Driver's License and Passport. At the end of the 5
years, your Trust Fund will be returned to you. I will keep any
increase in value to off set my investment in you. The choice is
yours."
"I just want to get out of here!"
"The choice is yours."
She handed me a small piece of paper with a telephone number on it.
"This number will be good for only one week. If you don't call, the
phone will be permanently turned off and you will have no further way
to contact us. If the police try to call it or track it, it will be
permanently turned off. You will be totally on your own. Do you
understand?"
"Yes, I understand, just let me go!"
"Somehow, I don't think so," she said with a bit of sadness in her
voice.
They released me and showed me the closet full of clothes. They left,
giving me the room and for the first time, I was able to look at my
new self. Yes, I did have a pair of very nice, but on the smallish
side, tits. My cock and balls were gone but, I did have a smooth
front, a slit and no vagina. My face looked more feminine than I
remembered. There was no way that I could pass for a Dan, even gay
Dan.
I went to the closet and picked out a pair of jeans, a top. A coat
and a pair of shoes to wear. There was a dresser which contained an
assortment of bras and panties. I picked out what I wanted to wear
and got dressed.
Diane came back in asking if I was ready to go. I said yes and she
told me to turn around. I did as I was told and she put a blindfold
and a hood on me and a pair of earphones over my ears. I couldn't see
or hear anything. She led me out the door and to a waiting car. We
drove for what seemed like an hour and we stopped. The door opened
and someone helped me out of the car. Before I could take the
blindfold off, the car was gone.
There it was, early morning and I was standing in Trafalgar Square.
As soon as I got my bearings, I walked to the closest police station.
I told them my story. As with Jamie, I was told that I didn't exist.
I gave them Diane's phone number and it immediately came up as an
inactive phone number.
Since I was an American, they suggested that I go to the American
Embassy. It was the same there. I didn't exist and unless I could
prove I was an American, there was nothing that they could do to help
me. They too tried the phone number with the same results, "There is
no such number." They even tried Danielle Patricia Logan with no
results that fit me. I was literally a person without an identity.
I wandered around the city trying to think of what I wanted to do. I
started getting hungry but had no way to get something to eat. I went
into a couple of restaurants and pubs but got kicked out. One pub
owner, Frank, offered to give me a meal if I washed dishes for him. I
said yes and after the pub closed, he asked me if I had anywhere to
stay.
Foolishly I said no. He offered to let me stay with him. I had no
choice and went home with him. Frank was good looking and had a very
nice flat. He told me to go and sit on the couch and he would get us
a couple of drinks. He handed me my drink and sat next to me. He
leaned in for a kiss. I pulled back, I had never thought about
kissing a man, though for some reason it didn't seem wrong.
This time, he grabbed the back of my head and pulled me in and kissed
me. Instead of pulling away I returned his kiss. I am not sure why
but, I was really getting turned on. More kissing led to him getting
hard and me taking my top and bra off.
He stood up, lowered me down to my knees and dropped his pants,
allowing his cock to fully come to attention. I tried to tell him
that I have never done this before. Though I did kiss Jamie's dildo
several times. Frank didn't care and before I knew it, I was gagging
with his cock down my throat. He made sure that I was looking up at
him. He came, just as he was pulling out. He spewed his cum all over
my face and chest.
He had me clean himself up just using my tongue. Again, this was
something that I had never thought of doing to a real cock. But, for
some reason, it didn't seem wrong. Frank brought me to my feet and
led me to the bedroom. He laid me down on the bed and laid next to
me. He started licking, kissing and tweaking my nipples. When he
started to finger me, he was shocked that he found no hole there.
"What the fuck is going on?"
I told him what happened and the partial sex change that I had. Frank
was furious saying, "I'm no fagot!" He told me to get dressed and get
out. I told him that I had no place to go and he said he didn't care
just get out.
It was pouring down rain and the only place I found to get out of it
was a covered doorway. Soon I was kicked out of there and told to
find someplace else. I found another overhang and curled up there and
went to sleep. I got up the next morning and I was soaking wet. I
walked around trying to get warm. I found a homeless shelter and was
able to get a hot meal. But, they had no beds available. That night,
I found another overhang to sleep in. The next morning, I went back
to the shelter and got something to eat and to be able to take a
shower. But, my clothes were filthy by now. But I had no other choice
but to wear them. I tried to get a job at a couple of places but,
without an ID no one would hire me.
I had been beaten, figuratively, and was going to call Diane. I
looked for Diane's phone number and tried to call it. As with the
police, it came up being disconnected. I now knew that I was in
serious trouble.
The 3rd night I met a woman, Jasmine, who was obviously a prostitute.
She said she was in my position 6 months ago. She met her "boyfriend"
Johnny and he gave her a place to stay, food to eat and nice clothes
to wear. She said he was looking for another girlfriend.
I was desperate and went to meet Johnny. He let me shower, gave me a
change of clothes and dinner. There must have been something in the
wine because started to feel a bit weird. I was sitting in a chair,
very relaxed, when he said he had something special for me.
He put a band around my arm, sticking a needle into it and injecting
something into me. I almost immediately had the feeling of a surge of
pleasurable sensation a "rush" going through my body. I had a warm
flushing of my skin, my mouth was dry, and had a heavy feeling in the
extremities. It was a wonderful feeling. Soon I got drowsy and passed
out. When I start to wake again, he gave me another shot and I was
out again. I am not sure actually how long this went on for but, I
know I needed it.
Johnny started to space out my "medicine" as he called it. Soon I was
hurting all over. He would only give me my "medicine" to make me feel
better, only if I earned it. At first it was as simple as a giving
him a blow job, but, it soon escalated to me doing tricks for him.
One night, Johnny got a phone call and told Jasmine to take me along
with her. I asked where we were going and he just said, "You are
going to have some fun." I wasn't naive enough not to know what was
going on but, I was still high and just went along with it knowing it
would get me another fix. He dropped us off at this hotel and we went
upstairs. The door opened and there was this 6'6" guy, Steve,
standing there.
"Oh, you brought a friend, you are going to charge me twice, now are
you?"
"No, Danielle is new, so this will be her OTJT."
With that, Frank paid Jasmine and led us to the bed. We undressed
down to just our thongs. He motioned for me to come over and start
sucking him. Jasmine came over so he could suck her tits. I went
through the motions of giving Frank the best blow job I could think
of. I don't know if it was the drugs in my system or something else
but, it wasn't a bad experience for me. The more that he got excited,
the more I started to get into it. I think I actually enjoyed it.
When he came, he filled my mouth and throat with his cum. He wanted
Jasmine and I to kiss to share his load. He got off on us kissing and
wanted to see more. We proceeded to make out until she went down to
give me oral sex. She knew about my secret but, never said a word.
An hour later, we were done and Johnny was outside of the hotel to
pick us up. When we got "home" Johnny told me that I did good and
that he would give me my shot of "medicine" to feel better.
Johnny had quickly found out about my secret. He told me that, in
order to get my "medicine," he was going to set me up with men who
either wanted oral and/or anal sex. He slowly started to "train" me
to receive anal sex. The better I did, the more of my "medicine" I
would get. With-in a few days I was a slut.
For the few weeks, I was in a state of stupor. I was starting to look
forward to the tricks. The more that Johnny gave me, the more that I
wanted. Soon, Johnny had me doing 3 to 4 tricks a night, 6 days a
week. When I wasn't doing tricks, I was constantly wearing a butt
plug to keep everything loose. I was so strung out on my "medicine" I
didn't care, I would do anything.
After 4 months, I was emaciated. I had dropped down from 140lbs to
100lbs. The only thing that brought me any pleasure was my next fix.
It was a bit of a Catch 22 for Johnny. The more he had me strung out
on drugs, the more compliant I became and would take on any customer.
There were a couple of times where the clients just wanted to beat
me. Johnny didn't care because they had to pay 3 times the usual
rate. The only stipulation was no hitting the face. On the other
hand, the way I had become strung out and "let myself go," the less
requests he got for me.
It finally got to the point that I was costing him more than I was
able to make for him. One night, he drove me to a dark corner and
told me to get out. He said I was on my own from now on and drove
off.
Soon I started going through withdrawals and thought I was going to
die. I needed to get some money for my next fix. I just stood on the
corner and before long, a man stopped. I got into his car and
immediately knew I was in trouble. He took me to a shabby motel room,
dragging me inside. He proceeded to beat me until I passed out and
then he left.
The next morning, I woke up and realized that I had a broken arm and
I was hurting from withdrawals. I got picked up by an ambulance and
taken to a hospital. When I was discharged, they sent me to a shelter
for drug abusers. But, since I couldn't prove who I was, they had no
choice to turn me away.
I was out walking the streets again, with my arm in a cast and sling.
I had no choice but to share a homeless encampment. But there, with
the help of some of those who shared the camp, I was able to get
through withdrawals.
I truly didn't know what to do. I hated Diane for taking my identity
and money. But, I also now knew that I should have taken her up on
her offer. But, that ship had sailed. I wanted to find a way to get
back to the US and see if I could reestablish my life. But without an
ID, I couldn't get a job, other than the one I used to have.
I made a cardboard shelter and found a couple of old blankets to keep
warm. I went through dumpsters to get something to eat. I got a few
cash jobs helping around someone's house. I was only able to shower
once a week, or so, and my hair was so stringy.
On one of my dumpster diving trips, I found a pencil set and some
blank paper. I started drawing again. I would sit on the curb and
draw caricatures for the people walking by or sell some of my other
drawings. I signed each one telling them to keep it, because I still
knew, somehow, I was going to be successful. I told them they will be
worth money someday. I would only charge ?2.00 but, it was enough for
me to be able to shower, make sure I had something to eat and buy
more drawing material.
I was walking back to the homeless encampment, after I had sold out,
when I heard,
"Danielle, Is that you?"
I looked around and I saw Jenn, who I met that first day at the
coffee shop.
"I am so glad I found you, we have been looking all over for you."
She got out of her car and walked over to me. She started to give me
a hug but, I pushed her away.
"You bitch, you did this to me! You don't know what I have been
through for the last 6 months!"
"I know that you have a right to be mad but, please just listen to
me."
She told me that usually when someone tries to go on their own they
call in a day or two. When I didn't call and the police did, Diane
sent people out looking for me, fearing the worst. After a month,
they gave up figuring that I was probably dead.
I told her what happened and I started to break down. She held me
tight. I asked her if she thought Diane would take me back. She told
me that she knew for sure that Diane wanted me back.
"Hi Diane, I found Danielle. She is here with me ... Okay, I'll bring
her by tomorrow."
I got into Jenn's car and she took me to her flat, not the one I
first met her in. She let me shower, gave me something to eat and
clean clothes to wear. She fixed my hair for me so I looked
presentable.
We talked for a couple of hours. I found out that Jenn was like me.
She was from Northern England and she was born a male too. But,
unlike me, she was gay. Two years ago, she woke up, after being
drugged, to find that she had become sort of a female too. She had
been a crossdresser, with a boyfriend who tolerated Jenn. When she
disappeared, he thought she is dead and she hasn't seen him in the
last two years.
While she had been a crossdresser it was still a shock to have been
turned into a "female." She said she wasn't as strong as I was. She
had no choice but to get into playing the female role. Now, she
actually loves being a "woman" and looks forward to the day she can
have her surgery to give her a vagina.
She loved doing hair. Diane made arrangements for her to go to the
best cosmetology school, Vidal Sassoon, London. She finished her
training and was now traveling, literally, all over the world
teaching for Sassoon. They started her out at ?85,000 plus, travel
expenses.
We talked until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Jenn only had one bed
so we shared it. She held me the whole night making me feel safe. I
slept for 10 hours. When I woke up, Jenn left a note saying that she
had to go into work and for me to make myself at home. She would be
back around 6:00. After dinner, she would take me to see Diane.
I just relaxed but, had dinner waiting for her when she got home. I
told her that it was the least I do. We ate and then left for
Diane's.
"Danielle, it is good to see you again. Have you given some more
thought about my proposal?"
"You fucking piece of shit. With all you have done to me and
everything that I have gone through the last six months, you act like
nothings happened. Like this is just a continuation of some business
deal. Hell, I don't even know what Jamie, her parents and my friends
have been told about my disappearance. You don't know how just the
thought of killing you got me through so many nights and tricks I had
to perform. I was just lucky that I didn't catch anything nasty."
"I am truly sorry. You are the first who didn't come back and I sent
people out looking for you. ..."
"And that makes it alright? You don't know how close I came to dying
or even having something worse happen to me."
"Again, I am truly sorry. How can I make it up to you?"
I had the hook in her and just needed to set it.
"Here's the deal and it is going to cost you a lot of money. I will
take your offer of school and support. You are going to give me my
new identity, my money back, you are going to pay for me to finish
school. I am only going to give you 10% of my wages now and 5% after
5 years. You will give me my Trust Fund back, plus any interest I
earned. Plus, you are going to reduce Jenn's fee to 5% too."
"I can live with that."
"But that's not all. The only reason that I am alive today, is
because of several people at the homeless encampment who helped me.
They watched over, and cared for me, while I was going through
withdrawals from the heroin I was strung out on. You are going to
make a very generous endowment of ?500,000 to the St. John's Homeless
Shelter and soup kitchen. In addition, you will buy sleeping bags for
all 150 people at the Encampment."
"Your helping people get a start is a noble project. Considering your
expenses, your fees aren't unreasonable. You will continue your
business but, will not make any changes to an unwilling person's
body. You must give them informed consent. Who knows, in Jenn and my
cases, we may have realized the advantage of becoming female."
"What happens if I say no?"
"Simple, I will make it my life's mission to expose you and make sure
that you are thrown in jail. Jenn is willing to go to the Police with
me."
Diane looked at Jenn nodding yes. She thought about it for a few
seconds and said, "You have a deal. Do you need a place to stay
tonight?"
"Danielle can stay with me for as long as she wants to."
I looked at Jenn and said thank you. We went home talking even more.
Being with her was as easy as it was being with Jamie, though I still
missed her very much. That night, while we slept, Jenn held me close
to her and it made me feel secure and wanted.
Jenn had a couple of days off and we spent them together. She fed me
and, in a week, I had put 5 pounds back on. My hair was a mess. My
blonde hair was yellow and I had 3" roots. She took me back to the
Vidal Sassoon school and spent 4 hours correcting my color, taking me
back to my natural dark blonde with highlights. I also got my
eyebrows redone, a mani/pedi and facial. When we left, I felt like a
new woman.
Diane called to tell me that everything was in order and to come in
to get my new life. Jenn drove me over and Diane showed me my new
passport, birth certificate, student visa, driver's license. She
showed me my trust with my money in it. But, instead of the $150,000
there was $300,000 in it. She told me that I would have to pay for my
continuing education and that extra money should more than cover it.
But, they were all made out to Danielle Patricia Logan. I asked her
why she changed my last name and she said for a bit of extra
security. I said that was unacceptable! I wanted them changed to
Danielle Patricia Murphy. She said it would take a couple of weeks to
make all of the changes.
She told me I had two choices, I could either have my last name
changed back to Murphy and wait until next September to get into the
Instituto Europeo di Design in Milan. My other option was to keep
Logan and start at the University of the Arts London, Central Saint
Martins in January. The choice was mine.
I had lost enough time already so I chose to keep Logan and stay in
London. Jenn told me that she wanted to find a nicer flat, now that
she was working. She asked me if I would like to share it with her. I
said yes. We spent a couple of days looking and found a much larger,
and nicer, one-bedroom apartment that was close for both of us. Even
splitting the rent, it would cost us ?800 per month. We took the
apartment.
That night, Jenn and I were sharing a bottle of wine. She confessed
that she had never been with a woman before. She had been a gay man
and had only been with men. I laughed, it was good to laugh, saying
that I had never been with a man before coming to London. She asked
me what I thought about it and I said it wasn't as bad as I thought
it would be. With the right John, I started to enjoy giving head and
being butt fucked. She told me that she hadn't been with anyone since
coming to London.
We talked more until it was time to go to bed. Jenn cradled me like
she had done every night I had been there. I rolled over and gave her
a big kiss. She returned my kiss and I showed her what it was like to
make love with another woman.
The next day, while Jenn was at work, I went by the local adult store
and bought several items to share with her. That night as we were
getting ready for bed, I excused myself to the bathroom. I came out
wearing nothing but a strap-on dildo. Jenn took one look and started
crying with happiness. It wasn't my first time wearing a dildo. I had
a couple of "clients" who liked to take it in their asses.
That was the first of many nights where we would trade off, we both
had our own. I never thought I could feel for someone like I felt for
Jamie. But, I was falling for Jenn.
Soon, it was time to start class. I was at somewhat of a disadvantage
in that the other students already had a semester under their belts.
But with their help, I quickly caught up. This was completely
different than what I had experienced before. It was much more
challenging. With the challenge, brought out my creativity.
As much as I hated to admit it, my times on the streets had changed
me. I rarely, if ever, thought about what it was like to be Dan. When
I would watch men, and how they acted, I refused to believe that I
was ever like that. That was so foreign to me. I had to admit that I
really liked being a girl.
It was this, that help my work to excel. During the summer I was
offered an unpaid internship with Stella McCartney, who had also
graduated from Saint Martins. It was in Product Development and I was
able to work with some of their top designers.
Jenn wasn't too keen on my taking the internship. We had become very
close and lovers. Sassoon had her traveling all over Europe, North
America and even a little in Asia to teach their techniques, to sold
out classes. Jenn was going to be gone most of the summer and wanted
me to come with her. As much as I wanted to, I had to put my
schooling ahead of our relationship.
When we did get together, it was an intense couple of days. But, with
us spending so much time apart, we started to drift apart. By the end
of the summer, we talked and decided that I should move out. I found
a one bedroom flat and moved my things there.
Periodically, throughout the year, Saint Martins would send a few
students to seminars around the UK and Europe. It was at one of these
seminars that I met, and fell in love with, Carlo Ricci. I have heard
about love at first sight and the instant attraction. That is the way
it was for Carlo and me. He was a little older than me and was just
finishing up his studies in Milan. Carlo was the first man I met that
I could just sit down with and have a conversation. We spent the
whole seminar together and became very close. I told him about my
past and he basically said, "That's alright, we will fix what we can
and the rest doesn't matter."
At the end of the seminar, I am not sure either one of us learned as
much as we should of, we were inseparable. We would call each other
every day and meet a couple of times a month on our weekends. He
asked me to spend Christmas with him and his family and I said yes.
His family included: his Mother (Maria), Father (Roberto) and younger
sister (Alexia). I had started learning a bit of Italian and they
spoke a bit of English so we got along very well. When I told them
that I had no family, they immediately adopted me as their own.
Alexia told me that I was the first girl that Carlo brought home and
that she has never seen him happier. I told her that he has made me
very happy too. Christmas morning, Carlo proposed to me and I said
yes. Carlo had been offered a design job with Prada in Milan. We
decided to wait until after I graduated the following year to get
married.
We continued our daily calls and meeting on the weekends. Sometimes
he would come to London or I would go to Milan. The following spring,
I was sent to a seminar in Milan and I spent the whole week with
Carlo and his family. I am not sure if I loved them more than they
loved me. Alexia became the sister I never had. Maria became the
Mother that I could talk to about anything.
While I was at Carlo's parent's home, I slept in a separate room.
When we were together, at other times, we slept together. I did love,
so much, having Carlo inside me. But, to be honest, the prep work was
a pain in the ass, figuratively not literally. When I knew we were
going to see each other, I would have to start prepping the day
before. I would switch to a liquid diet and take a laxative. Then
before we could have sex, I would have to use an enema bag to make
sure I was fully cleaned out. Then I had to make sure that he used
plenty of lube.
After consultation, I elected to have the recto-sigmoid vaginoplasty.
It was more evasive, and more expensive, but had the advantages of
being self-lubricating, there would be little or no dilation required
and I will be able to get all of Carlo's 7" inside me. I set my date
for June 3rd. I was going to have to spend 4 - 5 days in the hospital
with complete bed rest. I was told that I should pretty much be back
to "normal" in 6 - 8 weeks.
During the summer, I was offered another intern position at Stella
McCartney. I really wanted it. I knew it would do for my career but,
I decided I wanted to get a new vagina instead. I told them thank you
but I was going to have surgery. I didn't say anymore about it, and
told them it wouldn't be fair to them. They told me that even if I
had a few weeks they still wanted me to intern for them. I told them
that I could probably be able to work the month of August, they told
me to come in and wished me well on my surgery.
Carlo and his family were by my bedside when I went for my surgery.
He had told them about my past and they didn't care either, other
than I couldn't have children. The surgery went well and I went to
Milan to recover. I had almost forgotten what it was like to have a
Mother take care of me.
When I recovered, I didn't really want to leave Milan. But, I only
had a semester left and had to make the best of it. I was able to
start interning, for Stella McCartney, in late July. They actually
had me designing a dress for their Spring collection. This was an
unpaid internship. I did though get full credit for the design and if
it went into production, I got a small, 1%, commission on it. Hey if
they sold $100,000 worth of my dress, I would get $1,000.
At the end of summer, Carlo and I had a chance to try out my new
vagina. It felt wonderful and we could now be spontaneous, which we
were. The last semester of school was the most challenging. While we
still talked every night, between his job and my school, we saw each
other when we could.
Many times, when Carlo and I were together, we would collaborate on
different designs. We would combine my woman's perspective and
Carlo's man's perspective on women's clothes we designed. There were
several pieces that Prada picked up and paid us well. The piece that
I design for Stella McCartney had almost $500,000 in sales. They
sweetened the pot, to get me to work for them, and gave me 3%,
$15,000.
Saint Martin's gave me the opportunity to go to a seminar in New York
City. I had to pay my own way but, it would open lots of doors for
me. I hadn't been back to the States in over 2 years. I went to the
show, with some of my designs and resume. I met with several
different companies. They all thought I was from the UK because,
unbeknownst to me, I had picked up an English accent.
I had several companies show an interest in me and my work. Stella
McCartney had already offered me a job with them when I graduated.
When Christmas came, I was finished with school and accepted a
position with Prada in Milan. They knew that Carlo and I had been
collaborating and wanted to make sure that someone else didn't get
me. I signed a 1-year contract starting at ?70,000 per year plus
commission, which was the same deal that Carlo had with them.
We got married in January. Jenn came to our wedding and was my Maid
of Honor. But first, I had to be Baptized and join the Catholic
Church. We honeymooned in the Bahamas and had a great time. We even
spent some time outside our room. We returned tired but, rested, if
that makes sense.
As is custom in Italy, Carlo and I lived with his parents. We had a
separate little house that was ours. Prada had Carlo and I working
together. It was very lucrative for both us and Prada. Prada had no
problem selling our designs. We were paid over ?80,000 in
commissions. Of course, I had to pay Diane my 10%, which I didn't
mind. After all, if it weren't for her, none of the probably wouldn't
have happened.
After a year, our contracts were done. Prada tried to offer us more
money, and other Houses offered us very good money too. But, we
talked about it and thought why should we let them make money on our
designs? We decided to go on our own. We didn't want to try and make
our own line of clothing. There was just too much competition there.
What we could do was to freelance our talents.
We used the money we had saved the previous year and my trust fund
money to open our own business. We bought our own house and used one
of the bedrooms as our design room. We put the word out that our
designs were going to be available in a month's time. We sold both
our original designs, and designed what other companies wanted.
Diane was right about one thing, after a year and a half, we had made
this a ?1,000,000 company. We had grown so much that we had to hire
on a couple of extra designers and move to a new building. After 3
years, we hit the ?2,000,000 mark.
Carlo and I talked and decided that we wanted to start a family,
which meant adoption. We found a lawyer that specialized in adoption
and asked for his help. After a couple of months, we received a call
about two little sisters, Maria (3) and Sophia (1). Their parents
were killed in an accident and they had no living relatives. The only
condition was that they had to stay together. We met with the girls
and immediately fell in love with them. They stayed with us for a few
of months before the adoption was finalized.
Now I mainly work from home as I take care of our daughters. Carlo's
Mother, Maria, is thrilled to have a granddaughter "named" after her.
She and Roberto have quickly spoiled both of them. I never had any
Grandparents but, I am so glad that our girls do.
Alexia got married to a great guy and they are now living with her
parents.
Jenn quit training for Sassoon, the travel was killing her, and went
to work in one of their salons. She met a woman and they have been
together for a couple of years now. It's amazing how things change.
She wanted a man and got a woman. I wanted a woman and got a man.
I wrote a letter to Jamie explaining what had happened and what my
life is now. I gave her my phone number and she immediately called
me. We talked for a couple of hours. She asked me if I was happy and
I said, "Yes I am!"
She had finished her Pre-Med and just started her residency. She met
a guy (Brad), another Med student, and they have been married for a
couple of years now.
During summer break, Carlo, the girls and I went back to California.
Jamie's first words were, "See I told you that you would be a big
success." She handed me the Grace Kelley picture I had drawn of her.
She kept it as a reminder of me. We had a great visit with her, Brad
and her parents.
Diane is still helping people get started, for a price of course.
But, she kept her word and didn't force anyone to undergo any
procedures they didn't want to. To her surprise, many of those who
she might have had things done on, asked to have them done.
For me, I created a foundation to help the homeless and to help them
get off drugs. The word got out about I had been homeless and strung
out on drugs. Money started coming in from all over the UK and
Europe. A few people, who had bought my drawings when I was on the
street, sold them for big money and gave all of it to my foundation.
One of my greatest satisfactions was when this guy Burt, knocked on
our door. He had been at the homeless encampment and was one of the
people who watched over me while I went through my withdrawals.
Between the help he received from Diane's Endowment and my
Foundation, he kicked drugs and got himself cleaned up. He now has a
flat and works at an accountant job, which is what he did before he
got strung out. He handed me a check for ?1000 for my Foundation. I
started to cry and invited him to stay for dinner.
