I used to work at a movie theatre at the mall

that was my first time crossdressing

I week before Halloween, there was an announcement to all staff members to dress up on Halloween starting Fri - Sun

I wanted to dressup as Sailor Moon, but there was no store near my area that sells nor makes it

on Friday afternoon, I surprised everyone that I dressed up as Disney Minnie Mouse
someone mentioned why not dressup as a ballerina,
luckily at Target, there was a pink ballerina leotard avail at the store

so I went back to the employee locker room and put on the pink Ballerina leotard with attached miniskirt & showed it off to everyone

after 15min, I went back to change back as Minnie Mouse

I wore the hat with mouse ears & attached bow, a white slip & the dress outfit, & no tail & no high heels, just regular black comfortable shoes

at first I did not think about how customers would react

about 99.9% of customers reactions were good, but only one African American teen girl said something offensive as she walked by, but I ignored her
I mostly wore the complete outfit down at the box office with another girl employee to keep company for 3 days and I also wore the complete out fit at the door one time

I believe it was on Sunday night & I was alone at the box office near closing time & it was a bit windy
I wanted to try to go outside with my full outfit to feel was is it like wearing a dress on a cold windy night, but the main problem is there is no security guard patrolling the mall, so I forfeit. better be safe than sorry

the last time I crossdressed was when my folks went on a month long vacation to visit.
no I did not invite anyone nor partied
the main problem was trying to find a cute nightgown that would fit me
I did find it & wore it all that night & felt very comfortable the next morn

I believe crossplaying at an anime convention would feel very different.
everyone there would judge you & someone would secretly take a pic at an awkward moment & possible post on youtube
also one remark from someone there would ruin the rest of the day at the con

I did have a chance to attend a one hour session on crossplaying at ACEN in 2006 & I did ask several question s to the forum, but it wasn't what I expected.

now I know what a transgender kids feels
you have to do it secretly in the US

on the other hand, in Japan, anime crossplaying is OK & its normal I think
