Another milestone in Lisa’s existence occurred recently, her very first makeover. It was something I had wanted to do for a very long tim. It took place in Seattle, at the Emerald Fantasy. Before going about this, I had discussed it with my wife, Terri, and she had acquiesced that I could do it. Then, I got into contact with some T-girls local to Emerald Fantasy and checked out the reputation. Everything I heard was positive. So, I went to the website, filled in the particulars, and scheduled my date. I eagerly awaited a confirmation e-mail, and when it arrived, it gave not only the particulars, but suggested I call to discuss any questions which I had, which I did. After a couple of rounds of telephone tag, Angel, the owner of Emerald Fantasy, and I finally hooked up together and, in a clearly female voice, after answering all my questions, she told me, that we were definitely going to have a lot of fun together.

This being my very first makeover, I took the minimum program, a 2 hour appointment, with 10 polaroids. The next few days, I was in a constant state of excitement and apprehension. Finally, the Saturday arrived that I had eagerly awaited. The evening before, I had removed the hair from my legs, chest and arms (with Terri’s agreement, of course), and painted my toenails. I was ready to rock 'n roll.

The Emerald Fantasy is located south of downtown Seattle, past the baseball and football stadium, in the harbor district. At first glance, it appears a bit funky, but how looks can be deceiving. As I drove down through Seattle, past the bustling main downtown area of the city, and watched how the streets transitioned into the desolation of an empty industrial harbor area on a Saturday afternoon, it is indeed as if I were crossing over a threshold into a new, unfamiliar world, or, to coin a phrase, boldly going where I had never gone before.

I rang the bell, and Angel came to let me in. Angel is tall and thin, with long blonde hair of her own. She was dressed casually, a top and a skirt, and welcomed me inside. She showed me around, and we spent a few minutes getting acquainted. Although it is a business, she treated me like a friend, and we talked openly about this and that, as we got to know each other a little better. After a little while, Angel went to get a bottle of wine to open for us, and I started to undress. 

Lookin' good, feelin' good

Emerald Fantasy has an extensive collection of clothing to chose from. I had worn my own panties for the day, but I picked out a bra and flesh-colored stay-ups, and breast forms, as well as a nightgown to wear, while Angel did my makeup. As this was my very first makeover, except for the makeup job done at my coming-out at Halloween (described in "My Debut)", I let Angel decide how I should look. Angel started working on my face, and as she did, she described what she was doing, giving me tips along the way, that I could use for myself. I was not allowed to look as she spun her magic on me. After spending considerable time, she crowned her work with a brown wig, and I had my first look. I had to gasp – I had never looked so good. I was a “babe.” But don't take my word for it, see for yourself:

We went through her racks of clothing together, choosing many different looks to try. Unfortunately for me, much of her clientele are bigger than I am, I'm quite petite for a T-girl, so that there were many things that were too big for me. The collection did include a wide range of styles, including some very conservative things, and, I must say, many things I would not be caught dead in, that are quite dowdy, but Angel and I were able to find plenty that I liked – a dancing dress, a mini-skirt, a leather skirt with fluffy sweater, a 2-piece suit “for the office” and more. From time to time, we changed wigs. The time flew, and Angel took picture after picture. You can find the rest of the pictures here.

Angel helped me to discover more about Lisa than I had considered imaginable. It is definitely an experience that I would recommend to you all.
