From Bad Attitude to Lass-itude...It was only then that they allowed Shelley to see herself. Needless to say, the faux-girl was was totally stunned. She had known that she appeared to be a pretty girl, but after the make-over and wearing the darling flower girl dress, she looked like an ethereal fairy princess. The girl reflected in the mirror was the very epitome of girlishness.Shelly shivered with delight, knowing that there was no way anyone would ever dream that she was really a boy!At the...

The dinner was great and the conversation more so. Gordon was great at telling stories and he often made me laugh. He seemed to be having a good time and so was I. After dinner, we went to a holoshow and saw Star Gales which was a delightful film of people of Scottish decent fighting off an oppressive power. I immediately recognized the theme song. It was the same tune that Gordon whistled!I found the holoshow to be romantic and dreamy as well as packed with action, just the perfect picture to...

"Well I think that you're just scared to wear women's clothes... scared in case you enjoy wearing them." Sharon quipped."Uh, that's ridiculous." Colin snapped back in return. "I just wouldn't look like one.""Then why not put it to the test? I'll do a make-up job on you and if you don't look convincing, we'll drop the idea and all suffer the consequences, but if you really do pass then you have to promise to go to Carrfields disguised as a girl, agreed?" she challenged.Colin wasn't happy with...

"You don't know this, but many of our islanders are apprehensive of men for good reason. Many have been mistreated or beaten by men in the past, or they simply have this fear of how the stronger male will frequently utilize his strength to force his will on them. Most have lost their interest in the male side of the species.

"Good Jane. Now come over and sit at my vanity," ordered my Mother."Yes, Mom," I answered quickly.I went over to the vanity, but stopped when she cleared her throat."Try that again, Jane. Like a lady," she rasped out.I gulped slightly and tried to imitate the way I had often seen Susan walk. She made me do it five times, swatting me with the riding crop until I got it down well enough to suit her. Next, she sat me down at the vanity, used a curling iron to set my hair and did my make-up. I sat...
