I sat in front again with auntie my mommy and Cindy were sitting in the back. Cindy said, "Harriet we need to stop at Helen's place. Since Angel is up, we could finish the gown alterations tonight and maybe push the schedule up a bit. Tracy will be there and we thought that we could get them both done at the same time."

I asked her, "Mrs. Russell, if Tracy is to be my back-up won't she hurt her voice if she isn't ready to sing yet? I don't want her to get hurt just because of me."

Cindy laughed and said, "Oh Angel, you are such a sweetheart. We don't think you will need a back up dear one. This will give Tracy a chance to be in the recitals and competitions even though she isn't ready yet."

I said, "How can that be?"

Cindy answered, "A back up is someone who is ready to take over for you in case you need it."

Harriet my mommy and I said, "OH!" All at the same time and we all giggled together too!

Mrs. Russell continued, "The choir voted as a whole that Tracy should get the position. Angel, you will find that the girls are more like a family than just a choir. They do a lot of things together as you will soon find out. They always decide things as a group and no one decides things without consulting them and that includes Greta and me."

Wow, I thought that this was great. Adults usually decide everything for the kids and then tell them what they will do. I was happy about this, we could all be in on the decisions, and we would be an actual part of everything!

We saw Sylvia zoom by in her big black car. She tooted the horn and motioned for us to follow them, so we did. Harriet started laughing and said, "Boy, Sylvia should have been a race car driver. She is going twice the speed limit!"

My mommy said, "Angel, Honey, fasten your seat belt, dear!"

I did and everybody was happy, sort of, my mommy looked nervous but Harriet was having fun keeping up with Sylvia. We saw Sylvia's car slow down and pull onto a side street and then into a long driveway. We followed and parked next to her. Helen had a real big house! It was huge and had another smaller house attached to it. There were several cars parked next to the smaller house. We all gathered and walked toward the smaller house.

I asked Helen, "Who lives in that huge house?"

Everybody giggled then and Helen answered, "That's my house, Angel, this other one is my place of business. I only do private fittings and I design clothing for each person as close to what they want as I can. So you see I don't need a shop in the city." All the ladies chuckled at that one. I found out later that she did have a very exclusive shop in the city, but she let others run it for her. She wanted to just do her own thing and could afford to.

We entered the smaller house (Actually, it was as big as my house!) and I saw Tracy and two other girls from the choir in various stages of being dressed and undressed by two other young women who must work for Helen. I hoped they didn't want me to, I was still wearing my diapers!

I must have looked worried because Helen said to me, "Angel, we will finish up with these girls first. Your gown needs something special and we will wait until the other girls have left, ok?"

She chuckled when I sighed and said, "Thank goodness!"

I saw that the other girls were only wearing their bras and panties now when Tracy ran over to me and gave me a hug and a kiss. The other girls did as well. I guess they weren't embarrassed me seeing them like that, so I smiled and hugged and kissed them back.

Tracy grabbed my hand and pulled me over to where her dress was hanging. It was real pretty! It also had sheer shoulders, was a lighter shade of pink than the other girls' dresses and the veil was shorter than mine was but longer than the other girls' veils. One of the young helpers working for Helen helped Tracy put on some funny thin socks like nylons and slip on a pair of high heels. She had Tracy stand on a little platform and then Tracy unhooked and removed her bra! She said, "Here Angel, hold this for me while I put the strapless one on."

My mommy coughed and the ladies giggled and so did the other girls from the choir. I looked at Tracy, smiled and took her bra and held it for her. She had little boobies, but they were bigger than mine were. She was handed the strapless bra and she put it on hooking it in front and twisting it around her back and then pulled it up over her small breasts.

One of the helpers looked at her closely and asked the other helper for two lifters. What? The other girl came back with two half moon shaped pads and the girl with Tracy lifted first on breast and then the other slipping each pad into Tracy's bra. WOW! You could now see Tracy's breasts better. They sort of pushed up and together the top part of her breast showed out of the bra! Tracy had a big smile on her face, pulled her shoulders back, and stood up straighter. Everybody giggled and Helen said, "Girls just love to show off their breasts." And she laughed shaking her head.

One of the other girls, her name was Ashley, called me over to see her dress. Janet, the other girl from the choir was with her. Now Ashley had nice breasts the biggest of all the girls and Janet's were about the same as mine. They were still wearing their bras and panties as Ashley grabbed my hand and pulled me over to her dress. It was real pretty and was like all the other girls in the choir dresses. The only thing different was, hers had to be let out in the breast area she told me. She held it up and it was a darker pink than Tracy's dress. It was made of shiny satin and had a lacy sash for it. There was a pair of matching high heels as well. All the dresses came with gloves, veils, and tiaras.

The other helper had Ashley slip on a pair of those nylon socks and the heels. Ashley then stood on another little platform as the helper handed her a different bra to wear. OH GEEZE! Ashley just reached behind her, unhooked, and then slipped her bra off handing it to me. Oh Brother! She had real nice breasts. I heard Tracy mumble something and I looked at her. Tracy looked over to Ashley and said, "Wow, Ashley, they grew even more than last month at the sleep over! You have the prettiest breasts out of the whole choir."

Ashley answered, "Tracy your breasts are very pretty as well, you will catch up sooner than you think."

I said, "You both are very beautiful, I only have very little breasts." I saw Janet and she looked sad so I went over, hugged, and kissed her saying, "Janet you are very beautiful as well. Your breasts will be growing bigger soon but mine will always be very small."

Janet hugged me and said, "Oh Angel, you are the sweetest girl and we all love you very much. Yours will grow you wait and see. They look bigger to me now than they did when you sang with us."

I said, "No Janet, these are bandages under my bra that just make them look bigger for another day. Then I don't need the medicine cream on them anymore and they will be real small again."

My mommy came over seeing that I was a little sad and hugged me. She said, "Angel, Honey, you just have to wait a little while like all the other girls do. You are only ten years old and many ten-year old girls don't even have the breasts you do."

Janet said, "Let me see Angel, show us!"

I had to tell them so I did. I said, "I need to have the medicine cream down here as well (I motioned to below my waist.) I need to wear diapers until tomorrow night or the next morning."

All three girls said, "So?"

My mommy looked at me and I asked her to help me undress. Everybody was happy then. Soon I was just standing there in my bra and plastic panties and diapers. Janet took her bra off and my mommy helped me by unhooking mine and very slowly removing it. The three girls all came over close to me as my mommy peeled one of my bandages off.

It was covered with the cream, but the white color had turned to clear so it looked like I had this clear gooey stuff on it. You could see my nipple and the swollen area around it well enough though. My nipple was real red and so was the skin around it, the skin just slightly less red. Janet came right up close to me, pulled her shoulders back, and told me to do the same so I did.

Janet said, "Angel, yours are as big as mine and I am twelve." I looked at her breasts and then down at my one breast and she was right! Where as before just my nipples had stuck out now my whole breast was raised and puffy!

My mommy grabbed Janet before she could give me the hug she had wanted to give me and said, "Girls, this cream is powerful medicine and we all have to be very careful not to get any of it on us or we will get sick."

Janet jumped back and we all giggled. My mommy gently put the bandage back and Helen helped me put my bra back on. My mommy went and scrubbed her hands in the sink real good. Helen gave me a little robe to put on and then the girls all hugged me. It was only the second time I had seen a girl's breasts but this time they were not embarrassing for me to see anymore and I was happy. Ashley's breasts bounced and swayed as she walked and got back up on her platform. Janet’s breasts jiggled a little as she bounced back toward her area.

I just sat in a chair and watched them all get fitted and when they were, wow! They were beautiful and I told them so. The girls had wanted to stay to see me fitted, but Helen said that she had promised that she would have them all home by ten o'clock and it was almost that now. So they changed back into their clothes, having me hand them their bras, as they needed them. We hugged, kissed, and said goodbye and they left with one of Helen's helpers who would be driving them home.

It was my turn now and I didn't remember seeing auntie leave but she must have because I just saw her coming back in holding a bag. Oh GEEZE! I had wet and did need to be changed, so I guess it would be now! Sure enough, my mommy came over and took off my little robe I was wearing and removed my bra. She put on a pair of gloves from the bag and auntie laid down the ducky pad on the floor.

My mommy asked me if I had to pee-pee and I said I had just gone a little while ago and she smiled. They all smiled, even the young helper that was still there! She had come over to watch! Helen scooted her away, having her get all the items they would need for my formal fitting. She had me sit on the ducky pad and she kneeled down in front of me. She cleaned the old cream of but didn't put new stuff on. She told me they would after the fitting.

Helen's girl helper, who said she was called Elaine, put a strapless bra on me which was padded so I was about as big as Tracy, maybe a little more but not as big as Ashley. My mommy had me lay down and she removed my plastic pants and then the diapers. She used a wet soft cloth on me and cleaned me off real good again. She dried me of and they gave me some panties to wear. OH COOL! These were very soft and silky and fit real loosely except for the waist. Sylvia who was standing close by said softly to auntie, "Looks like she won't need a control brief any more." (I heard her though and wondered what she had meant by saying that.) Auntie said, "One more full day of whatever that stuff is and no one could tell unless they looked very close indeed."

Helen and Elaine had me put on those funny nylon socks and the high heels. Helen told me to be very careful because these had a four-inch heel. She said I needed the little extra boost in height for the dress, the three-inch heals had allowed the back of the dress to drag when I was walking in it.

Oh brother! I could kill myself! They had tiny pointy heels! I would have to be extra careful when walking in these things. They were very pretty and dainty looking though. They went with everything else better than the three-inch block type heeled ones I had worn before. They had me walk around the room several times my mommy and Greta held an elbow of each arm as I walked until I could do it well on my own.

I started to giggle when auntie wolf whistled at me as I went by her wiggling my bottom because of the way I had to walk. Helen kept repeating over and over, "Place one foot directly in front of the trailing foot. Shoulders back, head held high, chin up, smile that's my Angel, good girl!" OH BROTHER! I decided to have a little fun and really exaggerated the hip wiggle, everybody including me started laughing, and that was enough of my walking practice.

Auntie came over and pinched my bottom saying, "What are you doing later sweetheart?" Everybody started giggling again and it was a real fun time for all of us. I was so happy!

Now everybody got serious as I had to stand on the little platform and first the petticoats and then the dress were put on me. Everybody joined in doing something and nobody was left out. Sylvia had a little case that held the jewelry for my costume and waited her turn to help me. Auntie also had a case that had make-up and hair-stuff at the ready. Lorrie and Greta both had cameras and Greta was screwing hers on a tripod. Cindy was handing items to Elaine who was either handing them to Helen or putting them on me herself.

That was when the other helper girl came walking in. (Her name was Judy.) She said, "Oh my, what a beauty!" I blushed and lowered my head.

Helen lifted my chin up and said, "From now on young lady when someone pays you a compliment like that you hold your head up and look right at them and say thank you, ok?" I nodded and she continued, "You are very beautiful and you have to stop hiding your beauty. You always like to share things and do things for others well you have to share your beauty as well. It's ok to be a little shy with strangers, but you must be confident in yourself. That confidence is what carries the day in competition as well as in life."

Wow, what a lecture, I looked around, everybody was smiling, and my mommy said, "Honey she's right you know. You have to stop hiding all the time. You are Angel O'Hare and you are now the wonderful and beautiful soloist for a national champion choir. You can't be hiding anymore. The girls that were just here hid nothing from you and showed their trust in you. You have to do the same now ok?"

I said, "Ok mommy, I think I understand. It's just that this is all new to me and I get scared sometimes. I never had real friends before. I have had to hide to keep from getting hurt and beat up all the time. I had to keep by myself and be alone. That's why I always love to get home or go to auntie's house. I can be myself and be loved for being me. I could never do that anywhere else. I always had to be on guard and when I wasn't I always ended up being hurt or made fun of, even by some of my teachers at school and some adults that had me work for them. I promise to try real hard to do what you are asking ok?"

I was group hugged then and Helen was crying. I looked at Helen and said, "I'm sorry I made you cry! I promise to try real hard and be proud of who I am and stop hiding, ok?"

Helen hugged me real hard and she said, "Oh no, Honey! You didn't make me cry! I just had no idea how hard your life has been for you and how cruel people can really be to a child as sweet as you! Don't you be sorry, I'm the one who should be sorry I didn't stop to think how your young life has been, I promise you one thing right here and now! Anybody who tries to hurt you again will have to answer to all of us and that I know includes the whole choir ok?"

I smiled and gave her a big hug and a big kiss on her cheek and said, "Thank you, you make me feel so special and I love you." She started crying again! GEEZE! All the ladies gave me a hug and a kiss saying the same thing Helen did and I felt really happy! I hugged and kissed each one back and thanked them telling them I loved them too and they all said they loved me. I really believed them and I was on top of the world! Even Elaine and Judy got in hugs and kisses.

Everybody got down to the business at hand, my costume, and appearance! Once my dress was buttoned up, Helen made a few more marks on it and pinned it in a few places. They took it off of me and that is when the real fun started! They used the veil and tiara to check to find the best position for it on my head.

When they all decided on a good position, Harriet took over with a vengeance! She was talking to everybody but me! She was asking them all sorts of questions and making a bunch of suggestion while playing with my hair. They decided I needed a fall, whatever that was. I only knew it would add length and more fullness to the back of my head and go real well with the veil and tiara. That's what they said about it anyway.

Next, the make-up, wow! Harriet did a number on me with all that stuff! When she was done and stepped away all the ladies gasped! The cameras were clicking and I said, "Hey, I'm not wearing any clothes!"

They all chuckled and Greta told me she was only taking pictures of my face, but Lorrie turned a little red and said, "I'm sorry Angel, I got carried away. Don't worry though my son is a photographer and has his own dark room, he will develop these for me. Nobody else will see them besides us, ok?"

I said ok, but I was still not happy about somebody having pictures of me just wearing a bra, panties and high heels! Greta had me pose my face certain ways as she took a few more pictures and Lorrie didn't take any more pictures.

Sylvia and Cindy came next. Cindy helped me put on the gloves and Sylvia put a diamond ring on my finger and said, "Every bride has to have a pretty engagement ring." GEEZE! That diamond really was pretty and there were little diamonds all around the sides of the ring.

She bent down and put anklets (that's what she called them), around both my ankles. "They are white-gold, like the ring," she said. They looked very pretty.

Then came the choker, funny name for it because it didn't choke me at all. She used the white one with the clear pink stones. I cold feel the loose end going down the back of my neck.

Then came earrings and Sylvia said that clip-on earrings just wouldn't do. She asked Judy to bring her a few ice cubes and all the ladies got excited.

I asked, "What do you need ice cubes for Sylvia?"

Sylvia chuckled and said, "It's auntie Sylvia, to you, young lady!"

I said I was sorry and repeated my question-saying auntie Sylvia this time. The other ladies all told me to call them auntie as well. I liked that and smiled saying, "Oh boy, I have lots of houses I can go to now and be safe!"

Auntie Harriet asked me after all the chuckles had died down, "Honey, so you always felt that coming to auntie's house meant you were safe and loved?"

I said, "Oh yes, auntie! I always love to go to your house! I know you love me and nothing bad has ever happened to me at your house."

She hugged me carefully so she didn't mess up my make up and said, "Honey, you make me feel so happy."

My mommy was all smiles and she just stood back and blew me a kiss mouthing the words "I LOVE YOU." I was on top of the world! Never in my young life had I ever been so happy!

Judy came back with the ice cubes then and I realized that nobody had answered my question. So, I asked it again, and all Auntie Sylvia would say was, "You will see in just a few seconds, dear."

She held two ice cubes against one of my ear lobes until I couldn't feel anything. I think she had pinched me there when she asked me if I felt anything and I said no. OUCH! What was that?

Auntie Sylvia said, "Ladies, I want to show you the latest invention in ear wear." She held up this tiny plastic ring with a small hole in the middle of it and continued, "This little piece of plastic is pushed into the piercing and with that done you can wear any earrings you wish from then on."

My mommy asked, "Sylvia do you mean she doesn't have to wear studs for two weeks first?"

Sylvia answered, "Not with these in she doesn't. You see these come in a small package and you just soak them in an anti-biotic solution or alcohol, they are absorbent enough to prevent infection. All you do is wet them with the solution once a day. You don't even turn them." All the ladies thought that was fantastic, but Sylvia added, "They are very expensive yet though, and only jewelers can sell them and put them in for you. The company that makes them insists you take a training course through them and that is very expensive as well. You need this little tool and you must know how to use it correctly or you can cause great pain and damage to the earlobes."

She then took the tool and put the tiny plastic ring on the tool and then I felt pressure on my earlobe. She said, "And that is the first one." She held the ice to my other earlobe and I tensed up.

Judy said "Angel," and when I looked at her, OUCH! Another stab, another plastic ring and it was done. I now had pierced ears! (Back in 1963 not many ten year olds had pierced ears. That was something you got done as a teen!)

Sylvia was very happy, she said, "Now, Angel can wear any earrings she wants to. I have the perfect pair right here for her and her gown." She held up these dangly earrings and said, "These are called 'Tears from Heaven.' They are white gold with Marquis-cut diamonds suspended by gold thread. I believe they are perfect for her. What do you think, girls?"

Everybody loved them including me! They were so beautiful I was speechless! Auntie Sylvia looked at the expression on my face and laughed, she was very happy. She handed them to my mommy and said, "Julia, you should be the one to put them in. They are your daughter’s first pair of pierced earrings after all."

My mommy was very happy and she held them very carefully. She looked at them and just shook her head saying how beautiful they were. She then said, "Angel, my very precious daughter and child of my life I welcome you to womanhood." She then slipped them into first one and then the other ear. She had tears in her eyes but she was very happy and smiling real big! My ears started stinging a little bit and I felt the weight of these earrings as they hung from my earlobes. I just held my head up, squared my shoulders, and smiled real big. SNAP, SNAP, snap, snap. Oh brother, more pictures!

I started giggling and couldn't stop. This caused every one else to start and soon we were all laughing. Helen came out of the other room where she was doing the alterations with Elaine and asked what was so funny. She saw my earrings dancing in the light because I was moving my head around while laughing so hard. She stopped and just stared at me. This sobered us all up and we just stared back at her wondering why she was looking at me like that?
