The story

Every Friday night I get all dressed up. I put on makeup, a fancy dress, a nice hat, and jewelry, and I just sit at home. I'm afraid to go out because I worry that people will know about me and laugh. I feel ashamed and depressed, so I just hide in my house looking elegant and refined. I'm all dressed up with no where to go. Caucasian -Detroit, MI ID: ST-MIZ-A/-0123
