new stores

Anne decided she could do some window shopping first then decide. She went to BOI-TOI, first as it was closest. There were pictures of beautiful females in the front of the store wearing jeans and tanks, nothing she found to be to her taste but she wasn't one to give up so easily. So she walked around the store looking at all of the clothes. The further she walked the stranger it got to her. No skirts, no bras, no lingerie. She'd almost describe it as tomboyish if it wasn't for the lack of panties. She wanted to say it was a boys department but all the mannequins were female and wearing the same clothes as the women in the posters on the wall. The clothes seemed so strange, not that she's never seen boy clothes before but not one's intended for women to wear. Or "bois" as the boards all declared. "May I help you?" a female voice called from behind her. Anne turned and saw a guy standing her height wearing jeans and a ramones t-shirt. "D..do you work here?" she asked and he laughed "Yes I do." He responded with a female voice "The store takes a pretty laid back approach to the dress code. 'It puts the clientele in a relaxed state'." she quoted someone, probably a boss or trainee video. "You...like dressing like this?" the boyish girl standing before anne smiled "Totally. Look at what you're wearing, you probably take so much care having not to spill anything on it or not be rough huh? Dressing like this you aint gotta worry about that. Just kick around with the bois and relax. Not worry about being all girly-girl." The boi who's tag read chris handed anne a pair of jeans and a shirt. "Just try it, you might like it." Anne humored the salesboi and went into the changing room. [It might be fun anyway] she told herself.

Anne took off her skirt and pulled the jeans up her legs. It felt only slightly different from her own pair of jeans. She noticed they were a little sturdier feeling than her own and they had more room in the front than she needed. She stared at herself in the mirror not really noticing a difference in how she looked. How did he...she...chris do it? A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts "How's it going in there?" chris called out. "I'll be honest I'm not feeling it." the door cracked slightly "Well there's your problem!" chris shouted startling anne "Dude!" she yelled "A little privacy?" chris smiled "Sorry, it's just easier if I can help out." Anne felt like she needed to cover up, which made no sense she was dressed and it was a girl after all. "It doesn't really sound like a good business model." Chris smirked "Look the problem is you're not wearing the shirt I gave you. Take your bra off, put it on and you'll see." Chris closed the door and left anne to her own devices. Anne took off her shirt and bra quickly she stared at herself again thinking how crazy it is she's in a changing room to dress up to try and look like a boy. The thought scared her and excited her at the same time. She sighed and took the shirt anyway. Pulling on the shirt felt weird, it felt loose everywhere but her chest, around her chest it felt tight. "Those shirts a specially designed so you dont have to worry about if your boobs are big or not without hurting you." Anne stared in amazement she looked like a long haired boy. Even with her feminine face. Anne opened the door "You look awesome dude. Want me to ring it up for you?" "Uh..."

Five minutes later anne left the store carrying a shopping bag. Anne decided to explore the next new store.

She found the new store was called CHARMED I'M SURE, true to it's namesake it sold a cacophony of bracelets and necklaces and charms. "Well hello my dear!" A rather large and robust woman said stepping out from behind a beaded curtain. "Hi!" anne said almost in shock being pulled out of her examination of the bobbles. "Is there anything I can help you with?" she said sliding a tray of rings under the glass counter. "I was actually wondering about some of your charms, I heard they're supposed to do stuff right?" The woman smiled "Some do 'stuff'. We've got love charms, luck charms, money charms." Anne eyed a strange looking charm necklace that seemed to splay out like an angel. "Ah I see you've found the heart of sappho." The saleswoman took it off of the shelf so anne could see it better. "Sappho...I've heard that somewhere." anne said almost hypnotically. "I'm sure you have my dear. She's a very prominent figure in greek history." Anne's eyes widened "She's the lesbian lady." the words flew out of her mouth before she could stop them. The woman eyes flashed with anger which quickly dissolved into their normal calm manner. "No, not the lesbian lady. See most people dont understand about sappho is she taught women the ways of pleasure, and that's where people stop listening. But the truth is far more interesting than the story. She taught women how to please themselves as well as women and men. She herself had many male suitors as well as women." [Sounds kinda slutty] anne thought to herself "So she was bisexual?" the woman again smiled "That's right." The woman walked behind anne and slowly tied the necklace around her neck. "Wha-" "You seemed so entranced you might as well see how it looks." people in these new stores seemed to have no problem pushing items on their customers. "Want me to ring it up?"

Anne left the store now wearing the heart of sappho around her neck. There were a few more stores to check out but her stomach was starting to growl now.
