I began this years Halloween on the middle of the second week of October. I only chose this date so I could spend more time living as Joanne. My wife is totally against my cross dressing & don't even want to see me dressed as Joanne but I have been telling her for years that I want to be a woman & be with men, she just calls me a faggot & tells me she don't want to hear it. She has made me move into the guest room & we just live together as room mates but she still complains about my dressing up.

This year I told her that I had a number of parties to attend beginnig at the end of the second week of October & the last one would be the following weekend after Halloween, so I told her not to get too mad at me when she see's me dressed as Joanne all of the time. The first night I went out, I went to a nail salon & had long, acryllic nails applied then polished a bright red, from there I went to Claires boutiqe & had my ears pierced twice more for a total of three earrings in each ear. Next I went to a salon & had extensions put on my eye lashes, when they finished that, I had them wax my eyebrows ultra thin & highly arched, when she showed me what she had done to my brows, I asked her if they could make my eyebrows permenant, which she answered yes, so I had my brows tatooed onto my face. I inquired about the price for permenant eye & lip liner, I wanted to have it done so badly but I told the girl I would call when I was ready to get it done.

I then went to the ladies wear department & tried on some dresses & skirts & tops, I bought one dress & one skirt & top. Next came the shoe department, I found three pairs of heels that I bought then I went looking at hand bags. I found a bag that went perfectly with the skirt, top & heels that I bought so I had to buy it. I paid for every thing then drove to my local CVS store, I go to this store so much that most of the girls working there know me by sight, I just wanted to see if any of the girls recognized me. I walked in & went to the pantyhose aisle where I picked up a pair of suntan, a pair of nude & a pair of taupe pantyhose, I moved on to the makeup aisle where I looked for a new, dark red nail polish, after finding one I looked for a new, black, water proof mascara. While I was scaning the mascara's, one of the girls who knew me walked over & asked me if she could help me find something, in my best girl voice I told her what I was looking for, she looked at me a little strange for a second then went right to a hook & took off a bottle of mascara & handed it to me. She said all of the women swear by this mascara, I looked at the bottle for a second then said I would take it. The girl said she would ring me up at her register so I followed her there & put my items down for her to ring up.

I paid her then walked out of the store, she didn't recognize me or if she did she never said anything. I drove to a bar & had a few drinks, at midnight I left & went home. The next day I got up & got dressed in my new skirt, top, pantyhose & heels, I did my makeup using my new mascara then I swapped everything out of my old purse into my new one, I sprayed myself with perfume then went to the living room & sat on the sofa & waited for my wife to get home from work. As soon as she walked into the room, she asked me about my nails & lashes, I decided to tell her the truth, my nails were acryllic & should last for about a month & a half, my lashes were extensions that should last the same amount of time then I moved my hair out of the way & showed her my new ear piercings then I told her about having my eyebrows waxed & tatooed on & they will stay on for life. My wife looked at me for a bit then said that, I should just go out & find a man that will let me live as his wife because that is what I have always wanted my whole life, I smiled at her & said, I wish I could.
