“It was terrifying!” were the words of a novice femulator after she used a woman’s changing room to try on clothes for the first time.

I am a big fan of Steve Carell’s version of The Office. After rewatching many episodes of the show, I started picking up clues that Steve Carell’s character, Michael Scott, might have a feminine side. So much so that I created the Michael Scott en femme images that you see above and on Sunday’s post. Anyway, here are the clues that come to mind.

How do I look? |
Despite their drop-dead gorgeous appearance, a typical email post will ask the other members of the subreddit, “How do I look?”
Unsure about their presentation, they are reaching out for affirmation that they are on the right path to achieve their feminine goals to be able to safely step out of the closet and experience the world en femme.. Positive emails build their confidence and out the door they go.
Back in the day, most of my sisters could not dress to the nines and ask for feedback about our presentations before stepping out. (“Hey, Pop. How do I look in these new high heels?”)
No, we had to gird our loins, open the door, step out into the real world and hope for the best. If people did not stare, laugh or point at you, that might be the best affirmation you could expect. Not the greatest confidence-builder, but it was something.
On the other hand, if you were called “Ma'am,” or even better “Miss,” that was our equivalent of receiving positive responses on reddit.
And so it goes.

Christina Marie remarked, “So much easier to shop for things when in girl mode, huh?”
Yes, indeed!
You have your shapewear strategically in place, so you know how the item will fit when you try it on and you are in makeup and wearing a do, so you know how the item will look on madam.
Yes, shopping in girl mode is so much easier… even if you are not shopping for girly things!
Which reminds me of the time I visited a Lowe’s home improvement store in girl mode to get a replacement part for a piece of plumbing that failed. I had no trepidation about going to Lowe’s and I found my trip very revealing.
Whenever I go to Lowe’s or Home Depot in boy mode, I have to find and ask a store employee when I need help. In girl mode, I had a male Lowe’s employee practically at my beck and call without asking.
When he saw me looking lost in the plumbing department, he asked what I needed and directed me to the exact location where the part was displayed. After I found what I needed, he came over and compared it to the old part I had brought along to make sure I got the right part.
That's the power of a short skirt and high heels!
