event. I don't go as Heather there, but did have a few interesting
things happen while I was there.
The day after we arrived I volunteered at the check-in for 2 hours (the
entire event is run by volunteers). While I was there, things were quite
busy. I'd say that maybe 100 or more people checked in within those 2
hours. As one couple walked up to me to check in, the woman says to me
"I'm jealous. Please tell me those are not real" in reference to my
nails. Keep in mind, they're gel so they are permanent. I keep them
polish-free so they look natural when in guy mode. I told her that they
were gel and she said "Whew, I'd hate to think that your nails looked so
much better than mine, and at camp too." That was the entire reaction.
Nobody else noticed my nails (or cared).
A couple of evenings later, we were in camp and one of the guys in our
group (who I had only just met that day) was chatting with me and we got
onto the topic of what we did for a living. He said to me "Are you a
female impersonator?" I corrected him and told him I was a CD, not an
impersonator and asked him what made him think that. He said that he had
noticed my nails and so came to that conclusion. He mentioned to me that
his wife had a "thing" for guys who did "that sort of thing". A few days
later I dug out one of Heather's cards from my purse (which lived in the
tent for the week, and was not carried) and showed it to him. He was
impressed by the photo on the card and complimented me on my look.
I managed to survive a week camping, including loading the trailer,
unloading the trailer (twice), setting up & tearing down camp, etc. and
didn't break any nails. Yes, it can be done if you're careful.
