Commenting on Wednesday’s post about going to my bank and hair salon en femme on Halloween, Jasmine asked, “Do they now know about that side of you or was this just a thing you did at Halloween and have not been back en femme since?”
I don’t know what they know. I have not returned en femme, but when I returned after Halloween, I discovered I was the talk of the town.
Bank Redux
I went to my bank to withdraw money to buy groceries after my Halloween en femme visit.
The teller (Miss K) was the first woman I saw walking into the bank on Halloween. The other two women staffing the bank were not working that day. One (Miss C) is the teller I often deal with at the drive-through window. The other (Miss L) is the branch manager, who refinanced my mortgage. So they both know me well as a regular customer.
Miss K handled my withdrawal and then she brought up the topic of Halloween. She said my “costume” was the best she had ever seen. Then she asked me if I had a photo on my iPhone so she could show Miss C.
Of course I did and she called Miss C over to see my photo. Needless to say, she was floored. Then she asked Miss L if she had seen my Halloween costume photo.
Miss L replied, “No, but I heard about it.”
Evidently, my costume was the talk of the bank staff. (I dress to impress!)
I showed Miss L my photo and she was amazed, too.
Salon Redux
I also had an appointment at my hair salon. My hairdresser, Miss K, was off on Halloween, so after she seated me at her station, she said, “I’m sorry I missed you on Tuesday. The girls said you were beautiful.”
So I immediately retrieved my iPhone and showed her my photo that Miss C took on Tuesday.
She took my iPhone, examined the photo closely and remarked, “You look like a businesswoman.”
“That's what I intended.”
“You do look beautiful!”
