At the same time I also found "Michelle's Hair and Beauty" site, and I contacted Michelle to arrange a make-over and photo session at her salon in Bournemouth, to be taken to a tranny friendly restaurant and to have an escorted shopping trip. I found Michelle's salon quite easily, and immediately felt at home with her. She put me into a plain white robe to do the make up, which was really superb, especially when she found me a new wig which suited me better than the one I usually wore. When she had finished, I dressed in my new wedding dress for some shots, then in a blue and black evening dress, and finally in my navy blue two piece business woman's costume to complete the reel of film.

Michelle then took me into the centre of Bournemouth, and after dropping the film off for processing at the photographers, we went to an Italian restaurant. The waitresses were obviously used to Michelle and her friends, as we had a very nice relaxed lunch. Next, we went shopping for some new underwear. I had never been shopping before whilst dressed and was quite scared that the shop assistants would refuse to serve us or do something else equally embarassing.

We couldn't find what I wanted in the first two shops so Michelle took me to a large department store. I was beginning to get used to being out and dressed as a female, but when we got to the Lingerie department and the assistant asked me what I wanted I nearly died. However she was ever so nice and didn't comment, but I was relieved to escape with my set of beautiful Charnos underwear. We picked up the finished pictures from the shop and went back to the salon, and I was delighted with the pictures. Michelle is an expert photographer, and produces very professional photos. I was really sorry when the time came to change back into mens clothing and drive home. I had found it a very exciting and slightly scary experience, but one I can recommend to other nervous TVs like myself.

I was so pleased with the wedding dress that Hide and Sleek made for me that I ordered one of their Maids Uniforms made from lovely shiny black satin. I think that "Hide and Sleek's" little girl party dresses in satin look very sweet, and I shall probably order one to wear at my next party.
