Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 13:13:36 -0500 From: Jim Thurman Subject: Laura's Story "Come on Jimmy, in here, quick" "What is this place Darlene ?" "I think there's a beauty salon on the top floor, let's go see." "Let me peek out the door first, they're over there Dar, under the Pepsi sign, see them "? " Yhea, I got them. Little Mouse's" "Don't under estimate them, they are professionals at bringing people in" "Yeah, well let's don't give them a chance" "I agree, I don't think they saw us come in here, lets look upstairs. These bottom floors seem to be all offices" "Here's the elevator, push 12, that's the top. At least we can look out from there to see what our friends are doing outside. It's started to rain and it's turnin colder, they'll move for sure" "Yeah, but how far, here's the 12th, lets look around". " There, at the end Jimmy, it's the Bon Ton Salon, I've seen it advertised, let's go in there, it's on the right side to look out. " Come out here Stella, we've got a couple of customers". "Not so fast Mamm, we, unh, well, we need to look out your window if that's OK " "Sure look away, what are we looking for ?" "Those two guys, there over by the news stand, under the Pepsi sign. They're moving Darlene, into that restaurant" "Yhea I see them, but they'll be watching, you can bet on it" "I'm sorry Mamm to bust in like this, I am Jimmy, and this is Darlene, we, unh, have a bit of a problem" "So I gather, I'm Madoline and this is Stella, why don't we sit down and talk this over. You are it for customers this afternoon, so we won't be interrupted" "Why are those goons looking for you guys ?" "Well, it's a long story, let's just say that we took something, a big something, from them, and they want it back. We've unh, disposed of the item, at least I should say, it's not here in Chicago. It's safe and secure, what we need is some time to take care of some other business, before we leave for a spot unh, considerably South of here" " Darlene, do you and Jimmy have a place here" "Yes Stella, we have a brownstone over on Lakeshore, it's not titled in our name and so far, they don't know about it, we are very careful about going and coming". "Lakeshore ?" "That's a very high rent district, a Brownstone no less, I am impressed". "It was in Darlene's family, we have lived there for about five years" "Jimmy, are you and Darlene, Unh, well are you " "We live together Madoline, I think it's reasonable to say that we'll get married when this is over" "Jimmy, I need to ask you, is this item Money "? "Yes" "A Lot ?" "Yes" "How bad do they want it back". "Well they sure don't want anybody else in their organization to know it's missing, so right now it's low key" "They are connected people, but it's not drug money or anything like that. When we took it, it was already stolen from somebody else. There's been no press, and there won't be". "It might just go away, time will tell". Unh, Jimmy, Darlene, Stella and I have some experience in this, we had someone looking for us recently. Could we help you ?" " If you could agree to start very slow so we could get to know each other, sure" "Well there a few things we can do right now to change your appearance enough to throw a trained eye off." "Let's do this first, then maybe we can plan for later". "Jimmy, you come with me, Darlene you go with Stella" "This is really a modern place Madoline, it must be a big investment". "Yep, it really is, but we do a good business, we have four other girls plus a manicurist on busy days, neither Stella or I work full time. You were just lucky to find us both here. Jimmy, I'm going to change your hair color and a few other simple things, you will be surprised, lean back in to this sink, I'll wash your hair first. You have beautiful hair darling, so soft. "This is a mousse, it's a thick gel which is a quick color, it's a couple of shades darker than your natural color, just relax while I work it in. Now while we wait for it to penetrate, I'll change your eyebrow shape just a little. First I'll trim it closer to your skin, now hold tight, I'm going to tweeze you just a little." "Ouch Madoline that hurts". "Ohhh poo. Just hold still, now let me rinse you out, lean back in the sink dear.. Good, I love the color, look in the mirror" "Wow it really does make me look different" " OK dear, let me comb you out" Now get under this dryer for just a few minutes, here let me lower the hood. There you're dry, into the chair again".. "My part goes on the other side Madoline" "I know silly, this is just part of the change. Now hold still, I'm going to pin your hair up in front with these bobby pins." "Come on Madoline, don't overdo it" "Don't fret, I know what I'm doin'. "There, that looks nice, don't you think ?" "Yes it does look neat, like I'm changed but not too much". I've got one more thing, but we'll let Darlene do it. Let's go find her" "Well look at you". "Me, ! Look at you, red hair no less and those earrings, they're huge". "Darlene we need to do one more thing for Jimmy and I though it would be better if you did it, OK ?" "Sure Madoline, what"? "This is a little pot of clear lip gel, absolutely no color at all, use this lip brush and put it on Jimmy's lips, it goes on like lipstick, but it has no color. It will change the texture of Jimmy's lips to complete the image" "OK Jimmy, come over here so I can do your lipstick" "Ho Ho, big joke" "Come on Jimmy, quit foolin' around, sit down right here, tilt your head back, look up at me" "This goes on like lipstick even smells like lipstick, part your lips sweetie, now blot them together. Now look in my mirror". "Mmmm, Wellll, I don't know, I guess it's OK, I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt" "It sure feels funny" "Now what we think we should do is call a cab to the basement parking lot, there will be four of us inside so that will confuse anybody watching, and if we are lucky, they won't even see the cab" "That sounds great, we can go into the covered parking area in our building too, can't we Darlene" "Yep, it sounds perfect, let's do it" "Stella, would you get our things together, don't forget the address book" "We can take our time and decide what to do at Darlene's house. Let's go" "Look, there's the guys watching for us, look straight at them, kind of casually, see they turned away, no recognition". While we ride, Jimmy tell me a little about what you will need to do" "Well, just about everything, shopping, meetings, movies, restaurants, we can be discrete, but it would be hard to change completely" "Stella, are you thinking what I am"? "Probably, Madoline" Let's discuss it when we get there, Ohhh we're here now, let's go up" "Jimmy you get the security system please" "OK good, everybody into the elevator, here Stella use my key" "My god Darlene look at this place, it's huge and so very beautiful, it's just exquisite. The view of the lake is simply gorgeous". "Come on Stella, Madoline, let me take you on a tour, we'll start upstairs" "This is the master bedroom suite, off the hall here is a sauna, steam shower, and whirlpool, feel free to use it anytime. Unh Madoline, do you and Stella need two bedrooms or one?" We need two to work in, and one to sleep in" "I see, OK perfect, these two adjoin and are connected, each has a private bath" Uh Darlene, we didn't exactly plan to move in with you" "I know Stella, this is just when you want, I image that we will be seeing quite a bit of each other. It would be nice to have you so please consider it, now lets look around some more. This is the upstairs laundry, this is the office with computers, fax machines etc., this is the sun room, it has a glass ceiling and has a terrific view" "My gosh, terrific is an understatement" "Now let's go downstairs, we entertain down here, the kitchen, mud room and side entrance is over here, in here is the formal dining room, the library, the solarium and a small guest bedroom, the formal entrance hall cuts through here" "It's really nice Darlene, you are very fortunate". "Don't I know it" Let's go into the solarium and have a drink, I think the others are already there". "Jimmy, your house is fantastic" "Thanks Stella, what can I get you to drink" "Do you have any white wine?" "I have an excellent California White, let me open it" How about you, Madoline" "Jimmy can you make me a proper martini" "My specialty Madam, one olive or two, shaken not stirred. Darlene why don't you start the fire, it's beginning to get a little nippy outside, Winter is coming. Madoline here's your Martini, Stella your wine, Darlene your Gimlet, and my scotch and soda" "Jimmy, my Martini is perfect, just perfect. I made a pitcher Madoline, it's there on the fridge plate. Let's sit here by the fire, we can talk, Darlene is the security armed ? " "Yes darling" "Jimmy ?" "Yes Madoline" "You will recall that Stella and I mentioned that we had some experience in evading people who were looking for us" "Yes, Madoline I do remember" "Well based on what you have told us, Stella and I agree that there is only one thing to do, one way to get out of this, Jimmy you will think it is unrealistic, Darlene, you will think it's doable, Jimmy my dear, we want to change you into a girl for the duration". "Say what"! "No I'm serious, we could do it and more importantly you could do it. Think about it, what could me more convincing, two girls instead of one guy and one girl" Madoline, you have got to be kidding, look at me" "I already have dear, you would be perfect" "Jimmy" "Yes Darlene" "It's really not a bad idea. "We could do it with the idea that if you didn't like the finished product we could cancel it and try something else. Think about it Jimmy, why wouldn't it work ?" "Well for starters, I don't walk like a girl, or talk like a girl, or think like a girl." "We would have to overcome the first two, and I think we could. As to how you think, we are all individuals, we all think differently" "I just don't know, it's a big stretch" "Jimmy after we get you dressed the first time we can take some photos and use them for ID Documents, Passports, Drivers License, Credit Cards, everything, Stella and I know how to do that. We wouldn't do anything that was absolutely permanent so you could change back later when you and Darlene are safe if you want to." "Jimmy, you and Madoline are just about the same size, we have all the cosmetics, wigs, and other stuff we might need at the shop, and we can easily bring what we will need for you over here" "I tell you what, there are a few things you and Darlene can do here, Stella and I will go back to our shop, I'll get Stella to grab a cab and come back over tonight just to drop some things off that you will need' "Madoline, this is goin too fast, I don't know". "Have another scotch Jimmy, I guarantee you'll like it, if you don't, we'll stop, I promise". "Well OK, but I'm not liking it at all, it sounds downright embarrassing." Stella, the security code to get out is 6354, to get in it's 7465, just add one to the first number, if you forget it ,call us on the intercom" OK, I'll be back in about two hours, you guys can get started. Darlene, can I see you privately for a sec ?" "Sure Madoline". "See you tomorrow Jimmy". OK Stella, thanks". "Come on up to the bedroom Jimmy, let's get started, this is exciting". "Yeah with me as the guinea. pig". "You are going to like the attention, I promise. Let me run your bath". "My bath, I had a shower earlier" "Don't fight it lover, it doesn't become you. This is my very favorite gardenia bath oil, I know you like the smell". "Well yes I do as a matter of fact". "Slide in Jimmy, it's sudsing up nicely, just sink in." "I'll put your clothes in the hamper". "How does that feel ?" "Kind of nice actually, I do love the gardenia smell, I always have". OK Darling raise your leg and prop it on the tub, I'm going to shave it with my Lady Sensor, I put in a new blade this morning. Stretch your leg and point your toes. Long strokes from your ankles up, I'll stop to clean the razor often. The warm water and bath oil softened you up nicely, now stand up please, I I'll shave the backs of your legs, I I'll make you a nice bikini line, there !" "Now hold still, I going to trim your pubic hair with these scissors, that's better. Bend over darling and spread your cheeks, I'll trim in here too and shave very carefully between your legs. Ohhhh Darlene P L E A S E !" "Now hold up your arms, high, I'll stretch your skin while I shave you here" "Be careful Darlene, don't nick me." OK finished. Now just a couple of more things. Wind yourself up in this big terry towel, do it like this, good". I am going to reduce the hair on your arms with this electric razor, it has a gate attached so it should be perfect. Now that's looks good. Jimmy, this is a mixture of bleaching peroxide and vinegar, it will bleach the hair on your arms so it will be almost invisible. Just sponge it on, wait five minutes and viola. You're looking good!" "Now sweets, my dear, your chest. We are going to attach very special silicon boobs there and we have to get you absolutely smooth. First I'll shave you using this medicated gel lubricant.. Stella is bringing over some surgical grade hair remover, so we will wait for that for the final touch. While we wait I want to do your eyebrows." "Come on Darlene, is all this necessary ?" "Yes is dear, you will see, now tilt your head back." First I'll trim your brows very close to your skin, I'll be careful, don't flinch. There finished, Jimmy, this is a zip strip. It's a medicated adhesive strip that is shaped in an arch. You press it under your brow, just covering the part that you want to remove, and zip it off". "Damn that hurt" "don't be a sissy Jimmy, let me get the other side. Good, Good, Good, now a little to tweeze". Ohhh no, Madoline tweezed me earlier" " I've got to do it, it's necessary, I've simply must get these stragglers". "Ouch, Ouch. Ouch" "there finished, want to look ? "No I'm afraid to look, maybe later." "What time is it Jimmy?' "It's about 5:00" "OK we have time before Stella comes back to do a few other things, I'm going to polish your Toes and Fingers. Now look Jimmy, remember this. The color is Revlon Red Blush, to paint your toes, just sit over here on the low bench. It helps to put a cotton ball between each toe, like this Ouuu you're ticklish. Now I'll dunk the brush in the bottle, wipe it on the side and coat each little toe. Start at the top and very carefully, pull the brush down. Use more than one coat if you need to. This is quick dry enamel so there's no wait. Here you do the other foot." "Good Jimmy, that's just perfect, now take out the cotton balls". "Pretty red toes, you'll understand why later" "Now your fingers, this is a bit more complicated. To give you longer fingernails, I'm going to do what is called acrylic nails. They are very strong and resist damage to a large extent. Give me your thumb. First, I'll trim and buff your nail to a constant finish and length. Now we lay up this acrylic filler to the right length and shape, I like semi-pointed tips. That's good, now we coat the filler with this liquid which cures it and makes it hard. Now, finally, we buff it smooth and we are ready for polish. It takes some time, but it's worth it. If you have this done in a Nail Salon, it costs about $60.00. The length is kind of medium because I think that long nails are one of the things that you will notice the most. Now let me get to work. "Whew, that was a job, ready for polish. What's the color we're using " "It's Revlon Blush Red" "Not quite lover, it's Red Blush not Blush Red, but that's close enough. Let me paint your nails this first time. Separate your fingers and rest your wrist on this little cushion. Start at the cuticle and paint down, as many strokes as it takes" "How do they feel Jimmy ?" "Strange" Let them dry and we'll put on a second coat" "That must be Stella, you wait here, I'll be right back. "Hi Stella, any problems ?" " No everything is fine, I brought some of Madoline's Undies, the surgical cream and a frilly gown, we'll be over about 9:00 tomorrow morning and will have everything we need, include a couple of surprises, how's he doing ?" "So far so good, we've shaved him bare, done his brows, and painted his toes, we have one more coat to go on his nails" "Good, Darlene, we need to start to think of a feminine name". "OK. I'll work on it tonight, I have some ideas" "You know Darlene we have a bit of luck in this, it's getting colder and we all wear more clothes in Winter than in Summer". "True enough, I hadn't thought of that". "OK, I'll see you tomorrow". "Jimmy, are you in there ?" "Yes Darlene is Stella gone ?" "Yes she is" "First let's finish your nails, they look just beautiful, let me put on one more coat and a clear sealer coat. It will just take a minute." "There all finished" "Let it dry and let's finish your chest. This cream is strong, so I'll use it sparingly, it says to first coat your nipples with Vaseline so here goes" "Ouu that's cold Darlene" " OK I'll spread it on evenly, arch your back a little. Now we wait 5 minutes., I'll fix us another drink and some snacks, don't move around too much. 5 Minutes up, let me check, yep it's ready, into the shower with you. Rub off with this loofa. Mmmmmm smooth as a baby's bottom,. I'll wipe off the Vaseline" "Now Jimmy let's introduce you to some girls clothes, Madoline sent over some of hers, they should fit. First slip into these panties, they are peach color with a little rick rack trim. Just pull them up, that's right. Don't worry about the little tent in front, we'll take care of that later.. Here is your bra, it's a bandeau type with three hooks in back, just slip your arms in the straps, that's right, now I'll hook you in back. Let me adjust your shoulder straps a little. Now darling slip your straps off and let me pull your bra out a bit. These are silicon forms that fit into your bra, I'll tuck them in, and move them around a little, now, how's that ?" "It's funny Darlene, they seem to be adjusting to my own temperature" "They are darling, they will feel quite natural soon. And tomorrow we will have something even nicer. Now this my dear is a waist cinch, not too high but with six lovely long, adjustable garters. First however slip into Madriline's panty girdle, just tug it up all the way, see how it smoothes you out. It matches your peach bra and panties. I know it's tight, just pull it up, wiggle your butt a little. Good, good !" "Are you OK Jimmy ?" "I guess so, but I feel very disconnected" "OK :let's get you into the cinch. Here, fit it around you and hold it in front" "Like this ?" "Yes now take one big breath in, suck in your tummy, There, exhale it's fastened in back." "Whoa ! that is tight, very tight". "It will feel better when we hook up your stockings. Sit down over here. These are brand new French stockings, I wonder where Madoline found them. They will feel really tight on your legs. Roll them up like this and smoothly pull them up to your knees. Now stand up and pull them the rest of the way up. Hook the front garter first, here I'll help you. Now the back, and the side. Let me adjust the garter straps to give you maximum lift, it will also help to hold down your garter belt. You do the other side" Good Jimmy you are catching on." "Your legs look simply fantastic" " These are sling pumps with 3" heels, they are mine, they are one size too small but you can adjust that with the sling.. Just slip them on and stand up, How do they feel" ? "Not too bad actually, it's this waist cincher that's killing me, it really hurts" "Jimmy, it's my fault, the cinch is mine, it didn't come from Madoline, I made a big mistake and I am sorry. My waist is smaller than yours and I guess I thought I was being smart". It is too small for you, take it off now, here I'll snap these garters around your legs to keep your stockings up. Take off the cinch and the panty girdle too, I have another idea. Let me help you. Leave the shoes on you can practice while we walk". "Please forgive me" "No Darlene this is Sissy's stuff, for Christ's sake she is dead. Look Jimmy, it's been five years, she was a friend of a friend living here for nine months, she was killed in an accident and is not even buried here. The friend, Cassie, who recommended her is also gone, the circle is broken --- period. We both know that Sissy was a clothes horse. She spent tons of money on clothes, many of which are brand new, never worn, still in the package. We need to go through this, keep what we want, and Good Will the rest. I know we want the Fur Coat, I was with her when she bought it, $28,000 Cash, Russian Sable. Let's get it out and you try it on. Just unzip the bag, God it's glorious, maybe we can both wear it from time to time. Try it on. Ohhhhh My God, it's perfect, the shoulders and lengths are exact. It will be too big for me, too bad!" Put in on the bed and we can take it, along with mine, to the fur place for cleaning." "Now, I came in here for something else, her lingerie drawers are over here. God, look at this stuff, we could open a store". "I had no idea Dar, it looks like it's brand new" "It is dear, it is" "Here we go, Jimmy this is a high waist, open bottom girdle, it matches your bra, and it does have six garter tabs. It zips in the back. It's a tad old fashioned, but it's perfect for us. Let me help you get it on. Sit here and pull it over your feet, now wiggle it up to your knees , now stand up. Suck in your tummy, and tug it up, wiggle your butt, good, keep pulling, now let me get the high waist band, I'll pull it from the back, just a little more, good Jimmy, I'll zip you up. My. My, that looks nice, fasten the garters dear, I'll get the one in back. Now, take a breath and tell me how you feel." "Well it's a lot better, I feel kind of together, connected, to be honest, I kind of like how it feels" "It looks great, as Mr., Crystal would say, "Simply Mar'va'lous Dahling " "It really gives you a feminine form, I am pleasantly surprised. Jimmy, how do you feel about going out for a while ?" "I don't know Darlene, I still feel kind of klutsy." :OK how about I finish dressing you, and we'll see then." "OK" "Let's look for a dress, there are so many, Summer over here, Winter over here, Transition here. Look, I love this Fall Print, it's silk lined from Saks, it's perfect, a nice A-Line neck, fitted skirt with a side slit, stitched to accentuate your bust and hips, it has a back zipper too, what do you think ?" "Well OK, I guess, I don't know Darlene !" "OK it's what we need, hang it over there, I wonder what's in this closet. Well will you look at this, there must be 15 wigs in here, stands, combs & brushes, there's every color in the rainbow. They look brand new. Most of them still have the tags on. I'm wondering about Sissy, this is a lot of stuff." Here Jimmy, take this shoulder length Auburn Wig, I love the style and it still has the Revlon tag on it, take this wig cap too, you'll need it. Let's see what size shoes she wore. Well lookie here, your size Jimmy, there must be 40 pair in here. Look at these high heel boots, they must have cost a fortune. I am amazed, this is a big lot of stuff, do you think it was stolen ?" "No, I remember her shopping, always bringing bags in, lots of deliveries, I guess she was just a compulsive shopper" "you got that right Jimmy" By the way, we all have been thinking of a new name for you, how about Sissy ?" "No way, it's too morbid, I'd think of her every time you said it". "OK. You're right, I'll think of something else". "How about Laura" "welllllll that sounds OK, kind of old fashioned" OK it's settled, we'll use your regular last name, so you will be Ms. Laura Sitchens". "Laura -- get used to that -- this inventory of Sissy's things is a treasure trove, the sizes will fit both you and Madoline, and we can all wear the wigs. I also noticed there was a big shelf of Wig Accessories, all kinds of things. I bet there is easily $70,000 of stuff, not counting the fur coat. And lest I forget, her car is still here, it's stored in the garage, I think it's a Chevrolet 4 x 4 Blazer. Make a note Laura, we'll check it out tomorrow, it wouldn't hurt to have an unknown car in reserve" "I like your name, it fits you". "Let's finish dressing. "I got this slip out of the lingerie drawer, just step into it and pull it up, it's the right size Shake it out, just wiggle, good". These shoes will be better, they're your size. The heels are 3-1/2" and very delicate, they suit you very nicely, and your legs look terrific. Walk around, how they feel ?" "Actually they feel just fine, I don't think I wobble, it just seems natural, I can't quite explain it" "bless you Laura, you are a treasure. Now your dress. Just bend over, step into it, now pull it up carefully, slip your arms into the sleeves, I'll pull it over your shoulders and zip up the back". "Does this belt go with it Darlene ?" "Yes darling, it does" "That's right buckle it firmly but not too tight, twist the buckle this way a bit, perfect".. "Now turn around, let me look at you. I think lover you are going to be very surprised, and very pleased" "I think I'll do your makeup, before I put on your wig, let's go in my room. You sit here in front of the mirror, pay close attention to the process" "First, a neutral foundation, blend it thoroughly over your face and neck, be careful not to get any makeup on your dress, here let me tuck this bib around your neck. Now let it dry. Just a little more on your nose and under your eyes. Good !" Now we start with your eyebrows, I'll use this plain black eyebrow pencil, and use short strokes to follow your natural line, we just want to accentuate your brows. See, that's easy". "Now Eye Shadow" "We use this wand, and for you I have picked a dark mist color, Start just above your lashes and pull the wand upward, feather it out up next to your brows, watch !" "Sometimes it takes two or three coats". "You do the other eye" "Great Laura, you've got it, just one more coat, super!" Now eye liner, this can be tricky". I use liquid liner on top and a pencil line on the bottom, This liquid liner is difficult so let me do it, gently close your eyes. This tiny brush, draws a tiny line just at the point where your upper lashes meet your eyelid. Don't blink !" I'll do both eyes then blow it dry". "OK done !" The pencil goes at the point just below where your lower lashes meet your eye, as close as possible to the lashes"." I'll do it" "Now a trick". "You take this Q-Tip and gently smudge the line under your lashes, good Laura, very good". That makes your eyes seem bigger. I am also going to connect up the upper liner with the lower in the corner, this will define you eye. "So far so good, are you OK ?" "I'm kind of in shock" Ohh poo you like it, I know !" "Now your lips, the most important thing. I'm going to use this lip brush to trace an outline around your lips, in fact, I am going to slightly exaggerate your natural lip line. Now hold still" Laura you load up the brush from this pot of Revlon Red Blush, and fill in the outline, use plenty of lipstick darling." "OK blot on this tissue, let me put on another coat, we want your lips to look wet. Ohhhh that's absolutely perfect." "Now your wig" "This little stretchy cap goes on first to hold your hair in place, duck your head darling". "This is an absolutely stunning wig, shoulder length, off the collar, swept in front, just stunning". "Let me fit it on you, ohhh look at that, it's a miracle" Don't move a muscle" These are your earrings, or I should say my earrings, they have clip backs, and a moderate drop, so they might feel a bit heavy, but they swing so nicely". This four strand pearl choker was my Mothers, let me hook it for you, Laura I am just speechless". Use my perfume behind each ear and between your breasts, it's JOY. My favorite, and I hope yours". Here's a watch for your left wrist, and three bracelets for your right. A couple of costume rings, and your purse, it has your lipstick, a compact a comb and small brush, and some money. "Now Laura, one final thing, look in the mirror, tell me what you see, something we should fix". I don't know Darlene, my mind is reeling". I know it must be darling, you need a little powder on your face, your nose is shiny". Use your compact, and just touch it on, that is divine Laura, absolutely perfect. You know I can't get over how well you walk in heels, you are entirely confident and sure of yourself, it really shows. Now what I'd like to do is, well is,unnhhhh, would you go our with me to show Madoline and Stella what we have done ?" "Do you want me to Darlene ?" "Yes I do, very much" "OK call them be sure it's OK and we'll go, I prefer a cab. " "Let me change my dress and freshen my makeup, it will just take a sec, why don't you make us a fresh drink" "OK, I'll wait in the solarium". "Here's your gimlet Darlene, sit down please. Did you call Madoline ?" "Yes, they will be delighted to see us". "Darlene, I am scared to death, I'm actually shaking and the butterflies in my tummy are huge. I'm afraid people will know who, or what, I really am". "Laura, get up and come over to the mirror with me, stand beside me, What do you see, use a critical eye. Let's turn sideways, look over your shoulder like this, now from the back and the other side. Now Laura when I do this what do you think ?" "Well you brushed your hair out of your eyes, I've seen you do it zillions of times". "Exactly, how do you explain that's precisely what you just did, it was exactly the same mannerism" "Really, I don't remember" "Of course you don't it was an instinct. Laura, every man has some repressed feminine genes inside, don't fight it, embrace it". You are very much a proper lady, even your naturally soft voice is perfectly acceptable. Do you feel strange in your new outfit?" "Not strange, not uncomfortable, I feel pretty nice actually and I feel guilty about it". "Are you having any sexual feelings Laura "? "Not anything different, I am still very attracted to you, and I appreciate other pretty ladies like I always have", "Any thoughts of gender "? "What do you mean ?" Any thoughts about what it would be like to be a girl ?" "Within the last few hours, sure, but not anything specific, my thoughts are still pretty tumbled" "Laura you are an absolutely delightful young woman, I really want to go out with you, I will guide you every step of the way, and for a change, I will protect you". "Let me call the cab". "OK Darlene, go ahead, I'll get the alarm". "It's a little nippy outside so slip into this light cashmere coat, I'll get mine. That's right, just sling the chain on your purse over your shoulder. Let's go" "Here's our cab, you get in first and slide over". "My heart is racing". "What are you doing Laura ?" "I'm looking in my purse for my compact, I want to look at my face" "OK, what do you see ?" "I see Laura, Darlene" "It's just so unreal" "Here we are, let me get the cab, you go right in Laura". "Oh good, you've got the elevator" "My god Jimmy, you look gorgeous". "Stella, Madoline, Jimmy's new name is Laura" Ohhh that's perfect, let me look at you. Darlene, you worked a miracle, she is simply wonderful. Every detail is perfect. Her nails, makeup, the way she stands and walks, it's eerie". "I know, we've talked about it a little, she put on those 3-1/2" heels and took off like she was born in them. I don't mean she didn't wobble, she was confident, sure, her hips moved", "You're embarrassing me" "Ohhh I am sorry darling, I am just so pleased, come in sit down, I'll fix a drink. I know you must be hungry, I've ordered in some Chinese, I hope that's OK ?' "Yes, Stella, that's fine" "Laura. You look like a dream, I'm not kidding, when Darlene told me she was going to dress you up, I never thought the first time would be so perfect, you are indeed a very special person, I mean that". "Thank you Madoline, I am trying to sort out my feelings and maybe I'm getting there, For example, it just dawned on me that if I try to be a girl, It's not always fancy clothes, makeup and all the rest, sometimes girls wear jeans and a Tee, it will take a while, if this sticks, to sort it out" "You are exactly right darling, you probably can be more things as a girl, than as a boy" "Laura, Darlene, I mentioned that I had a couple of surprises for tomorrow" "Yes we remember" "I thought I might explain those surprises now, it might make it more understandable tomorrow, OK ?" "Sure Madoline go ahead" "Well both of you should know that I am a RN, I don't work full time since Stella and I bought this salon, but I do work at the hospital, on average, two or three nights per month. Several months ago, I worked as a scrub nurse in Reconstructive Surgery. One night things were dead slow and another nurse I know asked me to come into the lab and look at something with her I almost fainted, what she showed me was absolutely wild. Let me explain. She showed me a mold of a woman's breast and a woman's genitalia. It was made from a soft squishy material. She filled up the cavities in each mold, there were two breasts, with a very viscous liquid, so think it almost wouldn't flow, then she literally put in an oven. About ten minutes she took them out, turned the molds upside-down, and the forms slid out. They were incredible. She explained that a Swedish Company had developed this material with the thought that it would be a surgical replacement for skin and tissue. It has a memory, dimple it and it comes back. Squeeze a nipple and it gets bigger, then in a few minutes it goes back" "So, having no thought to either of you, I convinced Stella to go over with me and make a mold. This is how you do it. For each breast there is a big circle of plastic, gel filled material, you heat it up to warm and it gets squishy. Then you take the circle and press it over one breast, with your hands you mold it to the exact contour, when finished, you spray it with a liquid which hold the form, you label it left or right, and do the other one. The result is really special, I defy you to tell that it's not a real natural breast, First we make a dimple in the back to fit your nipple, then we apply a sterile grade of surgical adhesive, we fir your nipple into the dimple and press it to your chest. It adheres immediately, to finish we use a tiny applicator around the edge of your breast, it blends to your skin, eliminating any chance of a line. The breast is a natural color, lighter than your regular skin tone to reflect no sun. The dimple in the form will return to it's regular shape putting very slight negative pressure on each nipple. They have proper weight, color, drop, temperature, they will feel like a part of you" "Now the genitalia, or vagina, it's made the same way, except the mold is formed to fit between your legs. The best way is to use a delivery table, a couple of cushions under your hips to raise up your torso, and your feet in the stirrups as wide as you can stretch, press in the form very firmly, swish it around, then carefully remove it and do as you did with the breasts. When it comes out of the mold, you do not believe your eyes, it is so real it's scary. You attach it with the same adhesive, it's waterproof and should last for several months. You do just a bit of cosmetic work on the form and it is absolutely anatomically perfect, it will, like the breasts feel like a part of you. I am doing a tiny bit of work tonight on it to make a shallow recess for your manhood, well secured, with a tiny spot for it to peek through so you can pee sitting down". "So Laura my dear, you will have Stella's boobs and my pussy. It would honestly be better if you could let us fit you at the hospital, we could make it absolutely private, it would be sterile, and we could make any necessary adjustments" "How about it" "Whew, that's quite a story, I guess I'm honored, part of me Stella, part Madoline. What do you think Darlene ?" "if it's true, and I have no reason to believe it's not, I only wish I had posed for the forms". "We can arrange that Darlene" "I'll think about it, in the meantime, Laura, I think you should do it, absolutely" "OK Girl" "Stella, call Rene' and see if she can reserve delivery five for 10::00AM tomorrow. We'll need 90 minutes". "OK Madoline we are booked, she wants to know if she can help". "We might need her, tell her I would appreciate it and I will call her before we arrive" "OK" Stay Tuned the adventure continues.
