One of my Facebook friends, the only one to be cool enough to enter her story into my Odd Is Not Contagious Contest, won a spot on my blog as promised in the contest rules. Thanks Katrina for being a good sport and taking the time to tell your funny, odd story :-) If anyone else out there wants to share their story on this blog, become a fan of Odd Is Not Contagious at: http://www.facebook.com/oddisnotcontagious and send me an email.
Katrina is from Australia and is an avid follower of my blog. Apparently in 1981, while she was working at a cinema part time, she became very good friends with a gay guy named Tim. He asked Katrina to accompany him to the "Alternative Miss Australia Ball" where there were 7 men dressed as women, each one from one of the 7 different states in Australia. Additionally, each man wore something special about the particular state they were from. While attending the ball, one of the men struck up a conversation with Katrina, and about 10 minutes into their discussion, the man realized Katrina was not a man dressed in drag. He said to her, "Hey, you're for real." This is a picture of Katrina wearing the dress that Tim loaned her to wear to the ball:
