i was mistaken for a man today!

well this is a first! i was at the check-out in the grocery store just now and the guy bagging groceries asked "do you have your own bag, sir?"

"SIR!??" i responded in astonishment. my god, did he not see my 38D's or my chanel lip gloss or my Lash Blasted lashes? i started to laugh, i wasn't insulted, i was just shocked and told him that aside from once getting compared to the guy/girl in "The Crying Game" in the 80's, this was a first. he apologized profusely anyway, but i hope i put him at ease. he said "when i looked up all i saw was the hat". OK, grant you, i was wearing a red felt hat pulled down over my ears, no wig, and my sweater pretty much hid my gender under my raggedy barn coat. even if i take the hat off i only have quarter inch hair, a rare site for one of any gender, so i guess i can expect to be mistaken for a man again in the coming months unless i increase the eyeliner and use red lipstick next time!

Lol.....glad you can laugh at it! I too have had this happen-but as I had a double mastectomy, no reconstruction nor prosthesis, then I can understand how I confuse some people!

When I had the flu, my voice went south and I sounded like a man..

It was amazing how much nicer I was treated on the phone ...and they

responded so much better to my requests..
