Q&A
Q. I am a closet CD, (only my wife knows). I see many nice things in department and specialty stores, what is the best way to go about purchasing them? Should I even try to be discreet? Should I phone first and find out if the store is "friendly"? What about trying clothes on? Any good suggestions of stores in the Greenville (Charlotte, Atlanta) area would be especially appreciated. posted Nov. 1, 1999

A. Discretion is always a good idea. It helps protect your secret and reputation. It also will foster a feeling of security in your wife. Calling ahead to see if they are gender friendly is also an excellent idea. Whether or not to try them on depends on the store and how accepting it is. I have bought clothes both en femme and en drab and had no problems either way. But I have never tried anything on. For online stores, try the shopping section here at TGGuide.
