Trip to Canvey Island

Weather wise it was quite a nice day so my wife said "How about dressing up and going for a walk?" We both had it on our mind that I need to sort out my wig which we bought previously purchased from Angel Wigs. It is a nice quality wig but I hadn't worn it much due to it being too much hair. Linda, the owner of Angel Wigs, had said to live with for a while before deciding what to do. Now I needed it restyling

So a phone call to Linda at angelwigs.co.uk and an appointment was made. When I was buying the wig Linda made the trip to my home. This time I would make the trip to Linda's new salon fully dressed enfemme. Angel wigs is in the High St (Furtherwick Road) but the car park was behind the salon in Sainsbury's Car Park. So it meant walking through the streets to the salon. How nerve wracking. I haven't been so nervous before but also so lovely to be out dressed.

The car park was very full and people everywhere. With encouragement from my wife I made my way out of the car and put my coat on. It was quiet windy and the feel of the wind through my hair and clothes made me feel so girly. It was so windy it blew my dress up several times and some passersby got a glimpse of stocking. I made the most of the walk and it was a new experience for me. Of course I was aware of some people staring but generally most people ignored me.

When entered the Salon we were greeted by one of Linda's team and who made us feel so welcome. We were offered a seat while waiting and a tea and a coffee. The professionalism of this salon is exceptional and I and my wife were made to feel very welcome and put at ease. I was really looking forward to the styling.

We were early for the appointment so I got to really take in the atmosphere of the salon. It was the first time I had ever been in a salon of this type fully dressed. On prior occasions in shops in London I had always gone in male mode which isn't the same kind of experience. There was lots of friendly conversation and I asked if many crossdressers/transvestites visited the salon. Linda caters for a whole range of people and our community is most welcome and is offered a specialised service.

Taking the opportunity to do another girly thing and read Grazia. I never new what a nice quality magazine it was and it gave me lots of ideas for future purchases.

As you can see from this photo the salon has been designed so well. It was very spacious and I was able to walk about. On this occasion I took the opportunity to redo my lipstick in one of the many mirrors.

Linda took her time to put me at ease and ask what I had in mind for the styling and to give me her advice. Linda also gave me some expert make up advice.

To be honest I could have spent all day there. With renewed courage we made our way back to the car. Still windy but my head held high in my newly styled wig and I felt so good.

We decided to get some sea air so made our way to the sea front where we had a bag of chips for lunch and then made our way further up the coast. We parked up and this is always when I get the most nervous about being out dressed. The weather was taking a turn for the worse and it was so windy and there was a distinct chill in the air. Back in the car and now for the journey home.
