The experience with the sales associate in the Chunky Chic section of Macy’s was a memorable crossdresser 1st. There there were many other cherished experiences in San Francisco though and all 1st’s at some point. Each time I had a successful experience my confidence grew and my horizons expended. Our favorite hotel was the Warwick Regis Hotel two blocks west of Union Square our shopping home base. Across the street from the hotel was a Walgreens store where we bought goodies. Nail polish remover, Q Tips and stuff you could not take on the plane. Just a few more steps was Jo Ann’s Nail shop. Two more steps was Angie’s hair salon two crossdresser 1st’s.
PLANNING A NEW CROSSDRESSER 1ST
I to arranged my trip so I got to the Warwick around 2pm so I could get ready earlier. My grand plan was to get a crossdresser 1st pedicure because I wore a lot of slides in those days. I thought it would be great to have amazing red polish perfectly applied. I called Jo Ann’s and made my appointment a couple of days ahead of time. I checked in, got ready and wandered over to Jo Ann’s a couple of minutes early. They welcomed me with what I found out later was a standard line. Sit down and relax we are a little behind and will be with you in 10 mineh. Jo Ann was Vietnamese and could not say minute but I was on cloud nine so it didn’t matter. When people called or stopped by she never gave anyone a different answer it was always 10 mineh.
She came over and called Meekee and I followed her to the station. I sat down for my crossdresser 1st pedicure. I was the entertainment that afternoon and we all laughed a lot although I’m not exactly sure about what. The important thing for me was gazing down at the finished product my perfectly shaped and painted nails. Bright red has always been my color of choice and they were beautiful. About half way through Angie from the salon next door came in. She invited me to stop by her shop when I was done. Jo Ann helped me put my high heel thongs on to protect my nails. I went next door and Angie and Martha gushed over my bright red toes. Angie then played with my wig a bit as we talked. I saw her and Martha talking earlier when I went in the nail shop and waved with a smile. I guess that was all it took to get their curiosity up. Angie won the coin toss I guess and came over to make contact with me. So now on the day of my crossdresser 1st pedicure I score my crossdressser 1st hair styling appointment.
Over the next 15 plus years I made two trips per year to San Francisco for crossdressing fun. Sometimes with as many as 10 sisters from CHIC. One trip was with wives and the other just us gurlz for intense fun. Each trip began with a visit to Jo Ann’s followed by one to Angie’s for styling. Angie and Martha would not take any payment ever but would let me tip them. Our deal was I had to tell them all about where we went and what we did the night before. Well. not exactly everything I guess. We were having amazing experiences in San Francisco during the early 2000’s and I had tons of stories.
The participants changed sometimes as peoples schedules got in the way but my BFF Ashley and I were always there. Together we were welcomed at all of the top restaurants in the city and treated like queens, literally!
