His name is James. He is an undergrad psychology student in the class I am teaching/assisting with this semester. From the first day of school, he caught my eye. It wasn’t merely about his looks…in fact, his physical presence would probably border on nondescript. He is clean-cut, with short dark blond hair, blue eyes. Not overly built, but not too thin. Something about him exuded…vulnerability. Not necessarily wimpy-ness…not that at all, actually. But a need to let go of something or bring more of something to him. Maybe it was in the soft-spoken but slightly intense way he spoke when participating in class discussions, or the thoughtful far away look in his clear blue eyes during the lecture on “theories of behavioral change”. I felt as though he wanted to say something more…something personal even, but backed down at the last minute during class time.
Last week I led a study group and James was one of the several students who showed up. We spent a good two hours in the student lounge after the group broke apart talking about everything and anything: Classes that sucked. Classes that rocked. Healthcare reform. The movie “Jennifer’s Body”. What makes a movie a cult classic. Feminism. The insect as a symbol of the human condition in Kafka’s “Metamorphosis”. Same sex marriage. Then we stopped for drinks at a popular hangout near the university. And James really opened up to me.
At one point while we were sitting in our booth enjoying our beverages and talking up a storm, I pulled out my compact and vial of Bobbi Brown lip gloss for a quick touch-up. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see James watching intently, almost as if transfixed, as I dipped the applicator into the merlot colored gloss, then dabbing it to my lips. The look on his face was a mixture of longing and wistfulness.
“That’s a very pretty shade,” he said softly.
“Why, thank you, I smiled knowingly at him.
In that moment, I knew. James’ longing was embedded in a desire to experience the feminine from within.
The bar was fairly quiet and empty that night, as it was a Wednesday. I leaned over and whispered to James, “Come with me.”
I led him into the ladies restroom. No one was around. He looked slightly perplexed for a moment, but nonetheless he didn’t hesitate and followed me right inside. I locked the door and took his hand in mine and positioned him directly in front of the mirror.
“You have so much potential, James, ” I said softly, smiling at his reflection.
I reached back into my purse and took out the lip gloss. Next, I placed my hand underneath his chin and held his face inches from mine, looking very closely at his face and into his eyes. That longing was still there, only it had deepened in the last several minutes. He didn’t question. He didn’t protest. He simply surrendered. This was an inevitable moment in James’ life.
“Do you trust me?” I asked him.
“Absolutely,” he replied.
As I painted his beautiful mouth with my lipstick, I could feel his whole body sigh. He didn’t need to make a sound. The truth in that moment filled every part of his being. And I was actually quite honored to be the one to create this moment for him.
“Now look…” I turned him gently to face his reflection in the mirror. “That makes so much more sense, doesn’t it, James?”
“Oh wow…Mina…yes, it so makes sense,” his eyes lit up as he took in his reflection.
Transformation needn’t be a majorly overt event to be significant. Often, its in making the tiniest steps when one can feel the pull toward something greater to come.
Afterward, I kissed James on the cheek and gave him my lip gloss.
“Wear it to bed tonight for me,” I placed the vial into his hand. “I promise you, this is only the beginning”.
The season of transformations is upon us. October brings us vivid, cool days as Mother Earth changes her appearance from one of abundant lush and suppleness to jeweled tones of the coming bounty. Halloween is just a few weeks away and now is the time to think about the masks you wear in your daily life. Are you being true to yourself? Perhaps you need the assistance of a Kink Artist to aid you in determining how to put your best face forward. Strip away the mask for a day and allow me to transform you into the character you have always longed to be.
