A very large part of my life has been lived by how others have told me to live it and I was getting really sick and tired of everyone's bull shit. I was told where to go for fun, what to eat, what to drink, how to dress, who should be my friends, stay away from them, and the boring list goes on. One day I sat down and made a list of what I liked and I wasn't doing any of them. I was playing follow the leader and the leader was leading me to a boring and very sad life. That day I decided to make my life MY LIFE. I got rid of a lot of clothes that were not flattering to my body and I think that some of the clothing suggested for me was to hide a figure that men would want and that I was a threat to take the "good ones" away from them. I stood in front of my full length mirror and examined what I had to offer and it was always covered by an over-size sweater or sweatshirt, boring blue jeans and a simple pair of earrings and a gold cross I got when I received my confirmation from my Godmother.
Underneath those baggy sweaters were a beautiful pair of firm tits. I wore a bra every day for as long as I could remember so I don't sag and I am sporting 42C's. I usually wore cotton underwear and after removing and seeing the overgrowth of pubic hair it made me sick. I know that others get waxed and shave and I would need a weed trimmer to get through that jungle. I did shave my legs and underarms and I did have a pretty decent figure. I was a size 9 but I did have a little bit of a big ass for my size. My hair was long and straight and usually wore it in a ponytail or braids. I guess is also time for a style that fit my face. I had a nice set of eyes and never needed to wear eye make up but I will now.
I saved a lot of money by not going out and it was time I took the time to get some new clothes, a haircut, manicure, pedicure, the works. I would go to the mall and shop until I dropped. Then I would have to make plans on where I wanted to go. I wanted to meet people, meet a guy who would love me and I would love back. First stop was the clothing store, shoe store and then to the hairdresser.
It was a Thursday night and I had off tomorrow Friday so I would make my transition then. I had to make my plan of attack and go thru with it and not change my mind in the morning and go back to the plain Jane I have been for 26 years. There will be no stopping me now as I was preparing myself for the "new me" and getting excited doing so.
The selection of clothing I picked out ranged from sweats to dressy jeans, slacks, fitted sweaters and blouses, vests, tops that showed my tits off without being slutty and flat shoes, some pumps, and of course sneakers. I loved the black jeans I bought I was looking for just the right blouse or sweater and I found both so I treated myself to both. The jeans allowed me to wear flats or a small heel and I had to get all the matching goodies like a handbag and jewelry. I was starting to like everything but I didn't go completely nuts. There would be time for that coming and I knew it.
At the hairdresser I asked for a complete make over with a new hairstyle that with the help of some books and direction from the owner, I was on my way. They were running cancer fund raiser for people with long hair to donate and I had a lot to donate. I got my hair cut that ran down to the crack of my ass. I got it cut a little below my shoulder, got a loose perm, my eyebrows waxed and then went for the cleaning up of the forest which covered my pussy. I was beginning to look human and I felt good about. The best part was that I didn't tell anyone I was doing this and it was a Friday night we were going out but this time I was going to meet them there instead of getting a ride. I'll show them I thought.
I got home and unloaded all my new goodies and figured I would get well rested as I had a big night ahead of me. As I was putting my clothes away, I got a call to say there was a change of plans as far as where we were going and I was all excited. We were going to a karaoke bar. I love music and I pride myself on knowing who sang what song and what year and a little history about the song and the artist. I was really good in all kinds of trivia I guess because I had so much free time on my hands.
I picked out the black dress jeans and I bought a black and white sweater top that was very soft and very sexy. I would wear my small healed shoes and had all black and white accessories to go with my outfit. I picked up some make up at the hairdresser and the girl there gave me tips on how I could look great by using very little. I couldn't wait for the girls to see me and my new look and attitude. One of the other girls called and asked if I wanted a ride and I told her that I was driving myself tonight because I didn't want to hold anyone up if I was running a little behind them. I felt better already and I was also going to enjoy looking at men the way I want to look at them and not the way they tell me too.
We were meeting at 8:00 and I would plan on getting there around 8:15-8:30 so I can make my grand entrance. I loved my new hairstyle and my new clothes; I loved the new me already and I'm ready to get my new self into action. I did manage a short nap but I was much too excited to sleep. I had a mid afternoon snack because I didn't want to drink on an empty stomach because we would probably be eating at 9. I nervously but confidently dressed and made sure that all was perfect and I have to admit that I looked awesome.
I got in my car and drove slowly and carefully so I would have time to pep talk myself again and I think I will be okay. I arrived in the parking lot about 8:20 and I got myself all together and walked in and looked around to see if I saw the girls and I spotted then right away because Colleen had on a bright red outfit. She always made sure she stood out in the crowd and wanted people to notice her. How could I have been such a wishy washy spineless jellyfish to these women and they called themselves my friends....boy I must have been one big basket case.
As I approached the table they were all sitting at I could hear Noreen say, "Oh my God get a look at Joan". With that I stood in front of all of them and just said "Hello ladies". They were all over me like flies a pile of horse manure. They asked me what happened and told me that I looked great and I got more compliments in 15 minutes than I did in all my years of being their "friend".
