Half Dreams at Full Course
by: Kelley Rigney
Like the first set of "Half Dreams" some were merely wishes, but some actually came true. I want to share a few of my half dreams that happened in full course. Maybe these bits can offer angles for other stories.
#1 Powder Puff Football
When I was a sophomore in High School the senior class put on a powder puff football game to raise money for project graduation. The senior and freshman girls played football against the junior and sophomore girls. The guys volunteered to be cheerleaders. A senior girl I knew (and had a crush on) was upset that more guys hadn’t signed up to be cheerleaders. What a chance! I walked to the school bulletin board and signed up to cheer for the junior/sophomore team. The entire week before the game I dreamed of dressing beautifully as a cheerleader and being the powderpuff queen.
The night of the game I went to a friend’s house so his mom could put makeup on us and set our wigs. I was to meet Brandy at the locker room to borrow her cheerleading outfit. Brandy and I had been flirting some and she relished in the idea of me being a cheerleader for the night. When I saw her she had black stripes under her eyes and was dressed in a jersey for the game. I took her uniform and went to the men’s room to change (how weird). While the other guys had skirts made for them, I was going to be in full dress in a real cheerleading uniform.
The other guys had filled out bras with unbelievably huge balloons, but I wanted to look a natural as much as possible. So I stuffed some socks into a sports bra I borrowed from Brandy. I had on shorts because I didn’t want to expose so much. Now I wish I had worn some bloomers instead! I unzipped the polyester skirt and slid it up my legs, fastening it in the back. Next, came the shell. It was hard to get on without messing up my wig, but I finally got it in place. I had worn my own socks and a white pair of white leather k-swiss shoes. No girl on the team wore a size 11 in women’s shoes.
The entire night I relished in the fact that I was jumping up and down in a school supportive act. I wasn’t crowned queen, but I was royalty at heart. Brandy was very complementary and she gave me a kiss that night. It was my first long kiss. I’m guessing that this was my turning point in interest of cheerleading uniforms.
#2 Truth or Dare in DC
In the summer after my senior year my science club one a trip to D.C. We had placed first in an environmental program, which gave us a trip to the capitol for honors. There were only four of us that went on the trip outside of our sponsor. It was me, two girls and one guy. The two girls were my two best girl friends. Before the trip I had "half dreamed" of wearing Jenny’s panties one day while touring the Smithsonian. Who would believe the opportunity afforded itself?!
During our first night in D.C. Victoria suggested we play dare. Not truth or dare, but dare. The other guy had already gone to bed. He was kind of a Geek in the truest sense. Anyway, the three of us played the game doing stupid no-harm dares. I had to pose flexing my muscles for the camera, Victoria and Jenny had their picture taken while acting like lesbian lovers, etc. My dare came for Jenny. I told her she had to wear my underwear the next day. My hopes were that she would return the dare for me when it came my time. Guess what? She didn’t. I was saddened, but I did walk down to the lobby and back to the room by myself wearing makeup out of a dare. By the way, Jenny DID wear my briefs the next day. We had fun, but I still wish she would have returned the favor.
#3 Like Your Shoes
As I have portrayed a few times. I have a fetish for cheerleading uniforms. While I was in college I also grew a liking for shoes. Not heels or anything too obviously feminine. Mostly casual and athletic. By the time I was a junior, I had collected an entire stash of shoes. I had keds, Nike, reebok freestyle mids, a large collection of casual Wal-Mart shoes and an assortment of cheerleading shoes. My cheerleading shoes were Nike (2), converse and AHH yes, Asics. I had two pair of Asics. Before each purchase, I often dreamed of wearing my shoes in public. I once wore my Nike cheerleading shoes in Lowes and at a park while wearing shorts.
The instance I’m building up to is when I had graduated and started a new job. On a day off I drove to the nearby large town and walked around the mall. I had on panties, women’s "riders" blue jeans and a women’s shirt. I also had on a pair of women’s cotton socks. I was dressed androgynous. So nobody knew I had on women’s clothing. But to top it all off, I had on a pair of my Asics cheerleading shoes. They were classic style in women’s size 11 with navy blue stripes. Nobody paid a bit of attention to me except for one girl. I had walked inside champs sporting good store and was looking around when a sales clerk in hers 20’s came to assist me. I said no thanks and she just stayed and talked as I looked. I continued to browse and she told me, "I like your shoes. Are you a cheerleader." I said, "yes" (I was lying). She asked me where I cheered. I told her I used to cheer in Iowa. I had never been to Iowa! She told me she was a cheerleader at a local college and said she had the exact same style of shoes, except in red. We talked about cheering for a bit and I left. Did she know I had on women’s shoes? Did she know that the color of mine were not offered in men’s? Who knows. But it was a heart pounder.
I hope you enjoyed these. I really appreciate reviews. I may write some more. We’ll see how they are appreciated. Thanks
