It's funny how you should bring this up now because I have been talking about the exact thing with a friend of mine. Many of you know I had my ears pierced back in June and I started laser facial hair removal a month and a half ago. I use to keep my hair fairly short but back around May I decided it was time to let it grow out and now my hair is longer than most people I know have ever seen it. Over about the last month, customers I have had for years are looking at me not saying anything. It is hard to describe the look, but I think most of you know what I mean, that look of question, is he or isn't he. Geez, last wednesday a customer gave me one of those smiles, the kind that says I know your secret. I would say that out of the more than one hundred customers and regular people I have seen since getting my ears pierced, only 5 or 6 have actually said something to me about them. And only one, the gal at the bank asked me why I got them pierced, and the gay guy at the bank treats me like I'm his best buddy, lol. Oh, lol, almost forgot it is pretty much impossible for me to hide the boobs, still waiting to hear a comment on them.

I know how I look in drab and it's just me without make up, there isn't much difference anymore so I know I must look effeminate or gay but I have never had any issues over it. I think it is more accepting here, so that helps, but it's nice not to have to live a complete duality anymore.
