I could tell from Izzy’s face that something disastrous had happened.
“Vivi can’t do it, she’s got Covid!” She sighed. “So much for my entry in that photography competition. The deadline’s tomorrow!”
Izzy had been inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite movement ever since we started going out at art college. Her dreamy, romantic photographs had received a lot of positive feedback on Instagram and she saw an opportunity to expand her salon business with the trend for more extreme avant-garde styling.
“Can someone else do it?” I asked, knowing she was really demanding and difficult to work with.
She looked at me. At first, it was a look of disdain, but then it was as if she was sizing me up.
“You’ll do.” She said, her eyes wandering over my face.
“Me?”
“Yes, Alex, you!”
I could tell she was picturing how I would look, but my silence gave away that I was less than enthusiastic. To be fair, she had made me up before, and it had always been fun, but I was not a model and had no desire to be featured in an international magazine.
“Yes, I think a slightly boyish look will work well, and, trans is so edgy at the moment!”
Her beautiful eyes locked onto mine and silently pleaded with me. Her joyous smile sent warm shivers rushing through me when I quietly consented. “Thank you, honey! Thank you!” She squealed and her passionate kiss took my mind off my lingering doubts.
Izzy followed me into the bathroom and asked if she could shave the hair from my legs and arms. There was no point in arguing, so I let her. It felt so sensual, and when she rubbed body lotion over my smooth skin, my cock grew so hard it was almost painful. She made me sit in her chair and slowly drew me into her mouth. Her thankful lips and tongue soon brought me to a shuddering climax and she licked me clean.
I blissfully let her get to work. Stage foundation whitened my already ivory face, while a gel that stung, plumped my lips. Lashes applied; eyes wrapped in smoky blacks and browns; eyebrows tidied and pencilled; cheeks rouged; lips over-painted in the deepest and most erotic shade of red. She scooped my bohemian locks into a hairnet and placed the platinum blonde wig on my head, straightening, shaping and brushing until the gossamer strands floated gently over my bare chest and down to my thighs.
An electric blue and purple fascinator that she had crafted from silk and melted plastic, was clipped in place. I stood up when beckoned and she sprayed my body with a glitter-mist that made me sparkle and glow. She helped me into the scanty chain-effect costume and sandals, padding out my chest and concealing my manhood.
Her set was as clever as she was. A large painted drape with coloured foil inserts was the background and three larger versions of the fascinator could be arranged as foreground. I would pose on a black beanbag. For hours, she adjusted the lights, rearranged the set and gave me instructions. I pouted and posed on cue, but she never seemed completely happy. Suddenly her face flashed with inspiration.
