Hi.  I have started wearing makeup on a regular basis.  Almost always mascara and shadow.  I did foundation, blush and lipstick though on Friday.  I went to the mall to see if Marcie was working at Estee Lauder but she wasn't.  I browsed the jewelry counter but did not buy anything.  I so want to pierce my ears but I am terrified of what the friends and family would say.  In any case, I stopped at a grocery store on the way home and the checkout girl either did not notice the makeup or was totally disinterested. 

I have an appointment for a manicure with Candace today.  I felt so girly calling the salon.  They did not ask why I wanted the appointment so I made sure that the receptionist knew it was for my nails.  Maybe she assumed, since that is all I have had done at this salon.  In any case, they called yesterday to confirm but I could not answer.  I loved listening to the message though.  "Hi Dan, this is to confirm your appointment at 5:00 for a manicure with Candace.  Have a nice day Dan."  How to get them to call me Dani, or better, Diane?  So, I am looking forward to the manicure.  I broke two nails this week.  I really need to find a way to strengthen them.  The other nails are long enough for Candace to shape.  I wonder what she'll say about shaping them?  I have been pondering what to wear to the appointment too.  I am not ready for an overtly feminine appointment but I feel like I should wear something that might prompt Candace to question my sissiness.  I also hope that we get to spend the entire time in private.  I think it would be fun to have her asking questions that subtly probe my sexuality.
