There is some dude in our area who likes to frequent the local eating
establishments in full 'dress' regalia. The most striking is the fuchia
suit with a skirt split up the back with a 'church' hat, mesh short mesh
veil included. Fishnet black stockings and stilletos. Dude is definitely a
dude, hairy legs in those fishnets and after five shadow under the
veil......comes in alone. Sits alone, dines alone. Cordial to
waitstaff..... This person is seen at other times dressed as the dude he is
is, it just seems he likes to be 'treated like a lady' when dining
out........Most restaurants around here are used to him by now, as they
professionally don't use 'gender specific' pronouns and rarely seem to raise
an eyebrow when he shows up, but let me tell you.............you can hear
silverware drop when the local dutchies are dining out.
