Over lunch Henry told how had felt all eyes were on him when he was at the bar and how uneasy it made him feel.
Alicia explained “I know what you mean. Everywhere I go I know I attract attention. It’s probably even worse now that I am so tall. I have that effect on men. I can’t help it and they can’t either. When I was 15 Mum gave me some advice and it has worked for me. I'll give you the same advice"
"I'm interested. What did your Mum tell you?"
"You have to learn how to relish the situation. What she she advised was that I picture myself as an unobtainable goddess and those men looking at you are just adoring little puppies. It turns what you construed as a threatening situation into a fun game”
“Am I an adoring little puppy as well?”
“You are. But I was never unobtainable to you. You’re special”
“So that's why you always wear high heels? Even now when you are 6’2?”
“Possibly. I know it gets me even more attention and grows my pack of puppies. I know it sounds conceited but it works for me. I thrive on being the object of attention now. You should try it while you have the chance. If someone is checking you out, show them a bit of leg, a wiggle of your bum or a flashy smile, be a tease. Watch them blush in embarrassment. Its much better than feeling the victim”
"Your mother told you this?" Henry could actually imagine that. Alicia's Mum was also a stunning looking woman
"Yep"

They stayed in the room for the afternoon even though the rain had stopped. They also didn't go to cocktail night, settling for room service instead. Henry opened the door for the waiter. He was still dressed as 'Rachel' indeed he had stayed that way all afternoon. The only items he had removed were the sandals, bike pants and panties.
Over dinner they discussed what swap to do next. They settled on the hips or bum swap. Alicia thought that by wearing the bike shorts the swap would barely be noticeable. Henry was at the stage that anything that made him look more female was welcome.
After the meal Alicia fetched the 'Bum' of the doll. She bought it to the kitchen and dropped into a glass of water. Together they watched it dissolve. Then Henry drank half and passed the goblet to Alicia who finished it off.
Later still they went to bed. Both wore Alicia's nightgowns, Henry actually loved the feeling of satin against his skin. Alicia asked Henry to keep the wig on. Both found it strange to kiss their own face and for the first time of his life Henry kissed someone with whiskers. They also found out that Mister Marvellous had not been damaged by his time being locked in Alicia's bike pants.
At bed time both wear Alicia’s night gowns. They drink a sachet before any sex though. Alicia convinces Henry to keep the wig on while they make love.
