The sun was casting a lovely glow over Melbourne today so, I decided I'd take advantage of it and went for a walk along Chapel St. I was dressed rather casually in my flare jeans, a scoop neck purple tee and brow studded flats. (Sorry Michelle, I know you don't like flats.. lol) My makeup was also fairly minimal with just foundation, blush, bronzer, eyeliner and mascara which was hidden by my sunnies ayway. Walking casually past the shops, I notice the gaze of a young man shift towards me. As we walk closer to each other, I see his eyes drop to my chest and a smile cross his lips. "Heh! Men!!" His eyes shifted back to my face as we passed the smile not leaving his lips. Being somewhat paranoid and not a very good reader of peoples reactions, I was suddenly struck with confusion. Was that a smile of knowing or a smile of lust? I decided to take it as the latter and continued on with my day with a smile.
My next stop for the day was at the dentist and I was a little nervous since I haven't seen him since going full time. Since I'm still going through the process of officially changing my name, I'd also still be using my old name. The receptionists didn't blink an eyelid although the dentist did look a little surprised when I walked in. I should have said something, but I was too preoccupied trying to act calmly. He was fully professional and in the end there was nothing to worry about. Going back to reception to pay, I was trying to remember if there was a title in front of my name on previous invoices. To my delight I received todays invoice and it said "Miss"! They had changed the records on their computer without my saying anything! Yay!
Later on, I went to the supermarket to buy a few items. As I pulled my credit card out to pay (which doesn't have a title on it) the man at the checkout asked "Any Cash, Sir?". Sir?!? Sir?!?!?!?! I'm sure I still flinch when that happens but nowadays I try to ignore it with just a raised eyebrow...
Oh well, two out of three ain't bad.
