I was about 12 years old. I had long dark brown hair that was rather messy. My mom was out shopping. My father left before I was born.

I was looking through mommy's things and found a pink tight dress. I put it on me. I liked how it felt rapped on my body.

Suddenly I heared the keys being put in the front door. I tried to take off the dress as fast as I could but it was on too tight and my mother caught me in it. I felt so ashamed. My mom stood there for a minute, which felt like an hour to me, and then said:
"What are you doing in my dress!?". I was in shock and just tried speaking but all I said was: "I was just...I mean...I..."

"Get in the car, and keep on the dress!" I did what she said.

We drove to a fancy salon and went in. My mom talked to a lady at the front desk and said something like "complete makeover". I was numb. I got all of my body hair removed and then headed to manicure and pedicure. I got my nails polished and got a red color painted on them. Then my ears got pierced with a gun like thing. I was now wearing long dangling earrings. It felt weird, but there was no talking to my mom. She was very upset. She just said: "You like dressing like a girl, then be a girl all the way!"

Then I got over to the hairdresser. She looked at my messy hair and began combing it out. She said: "What nice, long hair you have. We will have to cut a little off as per your mom's instructions!". I started o hear the scissors slicing through my hair and saw hairs dropping to the floor. Once she was done I felt hair touching my face and realised I now had bangs. They were side swept bangs that were a little hard to get used to at first. My long hair was now a long bob which just passed my shoulders. I had blond hairs at the bottom and the rest was a chestnut color. My hair was then curled and looked really girly.

I was then sent to makeup were I got a light foundation put on, some green eyeshadow, black eyeliner with the cat like tail at the ends. My eyelashes got curled and extensions were added.

After all this was done my mom said: "You look cute as a girl! You will stay like this for the entire summer. You shall be called and answer to the name of Jackie!"

I responded: "But mom!" And then my bangs got in my face and mom used her long fingernails and brushed them to the side and said: "Come honey, to the car!" As we walked to the car a boy whistled at me. It was John, my 14 year old neighbour.

Mom then said: "I think I'll invite John over to dinner tomorrow evening!"

I responded: "Mom, please no!"

Mom said: "Shhhh, honey. You will also need to learn how to talk and walk like a young lady. We have work to do tonight!"
