Believe it or not, Halloween was not a favourite of Lola’s. It wasn’t that the holiday was terrible or she hated kids and she did like candy. It was just that the whole holiday centered around dressing up as something you weren’t and most of the time in her life she had faced ridicule on Halloween. Unimaginative phrases like ‘Haven’t you worn that costume before’ were tossed out like they were award winning jokes. And so, Lola had spent Halloween staying in and watching scary movies.
Today was a new day and a new month and so Lola decided to treat herself. She had a latte in her hand as she walked down the street looking for what item she was going to get. What Lola wanted was a dress or some shoes, but she’d settle for a purse or hat too.
When she saw the dress Lola stopped. She took it in and she decided she wanted it. “The real question will be if they even have it in my size or not.” It was hard to find dresses made for a man’s body, after all.
