SUZANE'S FIRST TIME (DECMEMBER 2008):
I was very apprehensive and even downright scared. What was I doing flying from the east coast to Las Vegas, NV to consult and trust a woman that I had only spoken with twice by phone? When I placed my first phone call to Amy I was concerned, could I trust her with my life? If she knows about Suzane will she judge or hurt us? As I pack my bags and get all of Suzane's clothes and accessories packed I cannot help but worry am I making a big mistake? The thoughts that permeate my life are; 'can this actually be safe, is their somebody that understands and can make Suzane into a beautiful woman? The trip to the airport and flight to Las Vegas seems to take forever.
After checking into the hotel I call and ask if I can come over and meet Amy. I also want to check out the boutique in person while I am safe in my male role. Again when the phone is answered, "Glamour Boutique, this is Amy," the fear and apprehension just seem to melt away replaced by a feeling of peace, trust, and even tranquility. "Yes you are welcome to come over anytime."
I have the directions all ready written down so I go to the hotel lobby and catch a cab. The web site instructions come in handy because the driver did not really know where we were going by the address but he did know where Tony Roma's Restaurant was. I pay the cab and the fear and questions begin to come back as I climb the stairs to the second floor and find my way down the hall and through the door that leads into the shop.
A bell sounds as I enter. I am in here now with no way out so here goes nothing. Amy is at the desk in the front of the shop and she again immediately puts my mid to rest. She has a tremendous understanding and gift to make everyone feel comfortable, the feeling of tranquility, trust and peace permeate my mind. Yes this really can happen. Amy introduces me to her staff and other women that are at the shop. You instantly feel comfortable and realize that you are actually safe and have nothing to fear. After touring the facility taking in the "Just You Hall of Fame" pictures, I realize for the first time in my life that this is real and it just may actually be possible for Suzane to be a beautiful woman. Suddenly I cannot wait until tomorrow to have my first ever transformation. Everything is positive and I feel like a little kid again. Anything Is Possible; all the preconceived notions are shed and left on the floor. I finally have to tear myself away since Amy has work to do and magic to perform for other clients.
The next day is Tuesday and I am at the shop over an hour early! Suzane is "on top of the world looking down on creation." Could it get any better than this? When the time arrives for my transformation Amy takes me back to her studio room and instructs me to select the clothing and outfit that Suzane will be wearing and call her when I am ready. Well at this point I can hardly contain the excitement and hope that are inside me. What dress and accessories will be right? Amy puts my mind at ease again she says, "Remember Women come in all sizes and whatever you select to wear will work or we can make adaptations or changes so it will work." Everything is so positive. This is the night that I have dreamed about for decades!
I dress and call Amy back, she comes in and has only positive things to say. Within a few minutes I am in her chair and we are talking like old girlfriends from way back. She explains what she is doing and shortly after she begins with a face lift. As Amy begins this big first for me she stands in front of me so I cannot see the mirror. She explains that as this is my first time having a transformation or any type of makeover (other then my feeble attempts at home or when traveling) she feels it is best for me not to see the steps, stages, and changes leading up to the final product. Amy works away on my face. I feel like a fresh canvas and Amy is the great artist; a Michael Angelo of sorts! Time goes by and I look up or down as instructed; my first fake eye lashes are added and like the Reba Macintyre song says "She painted my eyes and lips". Amy says, "Do not look. I am going to select a wig to complement your face and finish your look." After a moment she is back and my eyes are still closed tightly as she stretches a wig on my head from front to back. I can feel the hair on my face and neck and this is a wonderful, soft and even sexy feeling! After a few moments of styling my new hair and final touches she says, "Keep your eyes closed until I say open and please do not cry. You do not want to ruin your new look."
Now the moment of truth has arrived and Amy steps away and says the magic words "Open your eyes." I slowly open my eyes and my heart leaps and skips a few beats. I am looking at a beautiful woman, not me. I cannot be this woman she is actually beautiful and very attractive. I cry, but just a little. Amy has to leave so she does not cry also. Amy through her talents has taken an average guy and made a beautiful woman. I am still standing in front of the mirror five minutes later when Amy returns. I give her a hug and thank her for this wonderful creation that she has constructed with her creative talents and skills.
The night continues with Brenda taking pictures before we go for an outing. For the first time in my life I am confident and completely comfortable as Suzane Oliva. The night is caught on film by Brenda so that I can relive it any time. I have placed the pictures on my computer as a screen saver. Various people have visited my home when the computer has been running through the pictures of Suzane and they have asked who is that woman? I just say she was on a computer disc I received from a close friend and I liked the pictures! Most just joke that it must have been the boots and long legs with the mini skirt that made me keep the pictures but anyway you look at it this is a real complement to Amy and her staff.
I have now had four additional makeover transformations at the Glamour Boutique in Las Vegas and each one was as good or better than the previous one. Through Amy and her staff I have developed some real friends and we have shared a few wonderful times. Whether you are considering a first time transformation, outing, or if you have had multiple experiences at other venues, you owe it to yourself to experience a new high that will increase your confidence and create a moment that you will cherish for the rest of your life. It all awaits you at Amy's Just You - Home of Glamour Boutique 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada!
Amy, thank you for making my dreams come true!
I hope to see you again very soon!
Suzane Oliva
