part 5 final I did let Chris put his coat back on at that point, but told him not to zip it up. That way, other customers would not easily notice what he was wearing, but there was some chance they would, and certainly there was no chance Chris could forget for even a moment that from waist to neck he looked more female than male. In any case, we next we moved to the nightgown section. We ended up getting him two sheer baby dolls (pink and red), a blue full length sheer, and two floral-patterned flannels. All this of course was a large sale for that salesgirl, and as she was ringing it all up she made of point of telling us that she'd be happy to help us any time we needed anything more, and that she'd also be happy to help set things up for us with salesgirls she knew at the department stores in the mall that she knew would be very helpful and understanding. She even took Chris by the hand and told him again that she thought his sweater set was really pretty and that he looked just adorable and very feminine in it, and that she hoped we would return. I thanked her for all her help, had Chris thank her, and told her we would undoubtedly be back but that next time it would be with Chris fully dressed and living as woman. Well, by then Chris was starting to fully comprehend his predicament. He looked at me, barely holding back tears, and in a quivering voice asked if I really meant to make him live as a woman full time and forever. I told him yes--that was what I wanted and I intended to make it what he wanted to. One of my goals for the shopping trip was to impress upon Chris that since he was going to be feminized it would be better for it to be done right--so that he could pass as female rather than looking like a crossdressed man. The idea was to show Chris that continuing to live as a male was no longer an option. It seemed to me that the best way to get Chris to really understand the situation he was now in, and to get him to accept the need for the kind of permanent transformation that I had planned for him, was for him to experience what things would be like if he at all resisted my feminization program for him--no matter what it might entail. In order to help make that point clear to him, before leaving the store I made Chris remove his coat again, then told him to go by himself and have his ears pierced in the mall and then to meet me at the car! He looked at me pleadingly, but my stare made clear that I was not going to change my mind, so he submissively handed me his coat, and started walking out of the store and down the mall. I saw him trying to keep his arms folded across his chest to hide the obvious effects of the padded bra, but given that he was wearing the mauve sweater set, I don't think he was accomplishing very much. I almost felt sorry for him, but reminded myself it was for his own good. Well, when he got to the car about twenty minutes later he had silver studs in his ears and he was totally in tears (and out of breath from running), and between sobs he begged me never to do that to him again. I told him to tell me everything that had happened. He said it took him a while to find the ear piercing place--he was afraid to ask directions from anyone, and everyone was staring at him so he tried to just keep on walking until finally he saw the place in front of one of the large department stores. However, he then had to wait in line under the constant stares and giggles of passing shoppers. He said the woman doing the piercings was very nice and told him she did lots of men, and she thought it was kind of cute. I asked him if he understood that the only way to avoid this kind of humiliation in the future would be for him to help me feminize him to the point that he could pass easily as a female in public. I told him I planned to make it so his figure would do proper justice to a nice soft angora pullover. He said he understood and that he would go along with anything I asked. Even, I repeated, if it meant transforming him so that he could pass as female while wearing a tight sweater and no bra? It took a moment for the meaning of my words to sink in, and then he gave me a pleading look, but I just said that the alternative was more experiences for him going out in public looking like a man in a dress. Sobbing, he said he'd go along with whatever I thought was best.
