Aztec Earrings

s I slowly got used to the different feel of driving in my new body, I realized that I didn't really have a destination in mind. Perhaps my desire to just get out and show myself before I lost the nerve was what possessed me to move so fast, but aimlessly. I wondered just why I was so interested in showing myself in public... Was I becoming a convert to that old Aztec belief in experiencing all the pleasures life has to offer, or was I just looking for confirmation that I was actually as beautiful as I thought myself to be? Either way, here I was, a small inexperienced female in a strange town dressed in dirty men's clothes driving around without a license. Too much!

The town I was in wasn't too big, but it did offer the regular Americana shopping experiences. Since I was after women's clothing, I figured that I ought to try as inconspicuous a place as possible. As I approached a fairly major intersection, there on the corner stood a brightly lit Target Store!

Perfect! I wasn't after anything fancy, and I figured I would hardly be noticed amidst all the happy clientele there. I pulled in, making sure I obeyed all the traffic laws in the book... Wouldn't do to get picked up out here in my situation! Once parked, I took a quick look in the rear view mirror to make sure I still looked as presentable as I could. My pretty face had more of a nervous look about it than I would have liked, but it would have to do! I took a deep breath and lightly stepped out of the truck, visible to the public for the first time as a woman!
