Testing the Waters: Part 1.
For the longest of times, the best way to describe me would have been as a bookworm sort of woman. I had really pale white skin, tiny breasts, and I basically lacked any sort of feminine curves what so ever. As I was ashamed of my body, I tended to cover it with loose fitting long sleeved tops and long dresses or pants.
The funny thing was, I had a strange little dream. Whereas some women wanted to be parents or chefs, me I wanted to be a surfer. Not a professional one, I just wanted to be able to be like the women I saw at my local beach each morning. Of course, they were all so sexy with great bodies, and me with my body was too ashamed to even try to learn how to surf.
Due to what I secretly desired, each morning before work I would watch the female surfers down on the local beach. As I saw them doing their thing, I wished I was one of them.
It was one day when I was watching from afar that I noticed her! What her name was at that point I didn't know. All I knew was that she stood out from all the other surfers with her beautiful brown skin that glistened in the morning sun. As well as standing out from the other surfers, she also seemed to stand apart from them, as she always sat down the beach from them and never interacted with them. Something else I noticed about her was that she always seemed so sad.
When this woman who I still didn't know the name of took to the waves I always found her to look so majestic and yet at the same time, so very sad.
I guess in time I became a little obsessed with this beautiful dark skinned woman, because she became the soul focus of me when I watched the beach. Deep down I wanted to go up to her, to say hello to her. I wanted to get to know her and make her happy. That being said, I also knew I was too shy to ever do such a thing.
One day as I was working my low paying job at the local news agency, I was stocking the rack with a bridal magazine that happened to have a black lady on the cover. As I looked at the cover and noticed the line of text that read, 'the black bride who was white - - see inside,' I had a thought. If I was more like the woman on the beach, maybe I could speak to her. I guess that was really, where my story started...
In the weeks that followed, I slowly made some changes to my body. The first thing I did was to get a really dark tan. In fact, I got the darkest tan that I could find. The tan really did do wonders for making me look more like the image I saw in my head. That being said it wasn't as dark as I wanted my skin to look.
With my tan job being done, the next step I took was to dye my hair. I had this ugly blonde shade of hair that I had never really liked. When I had dyed it a lovely shade of red that was a lot like my beach lady's hair, I found it much more to my liking. The red just seemed to match with my naturally green eyes.
While I did love the way those changes altered the way I looked, I knew that I wanted more. I wanted to be even more like my lovely beach lady.
I guess it was somewhere around that point that the other women I worked with at the news agency, must have started to think that I was losing my mind. When they saw the changes I had made, I could see the questions in their eyes.

One weekend, once I had acquired the items I needed for the next part of my plan, I started the process of applying the items I had bought to my body.
The first thing I did that morning was to glue a set of large false breasts to my chest. They were made of brown latex, and thanks to the fact, my own breasts were so small, they fitted well with no discomfort.
With the breasts out the way, I applied some padding to my butt, my thighs and my hips as well. Thankfully the padding I had bought fitted me and once it was glued in place, it stayed where it was meant to stay.
When I had covered my padded body with clothing to hide the padding, I checked myself out in the mirror, and I found I very much liked what I saw. I looked so busty and so curvy that I felt a sense of joy. Now, if only my body could have really been that shape.
Having spent two weeks just enjoying the illusion that my body had the shape I dearly wanted it to have, I took the next step. I started to experiment with waterproof make-up as a way to make my exposed skin look even darker and one day I found a way to do what I wanted.
Soon after I had managed to find a way to make my skin look like it was the skin of a black woman, I finally found the courage to visit the beach for real. Oh how wonderful it felt to finally stand on the sand.
Around a week after I had started to visit the beach, I was just sitting on the sand one morning watching the surf when I heard a voice beside me.
"Hi," the sweet sounding female voice said, "I'm Aisha, Aisha Knight."
As I turned to face the voice, I saw that the woman who was speaking to me was the sad black woman who had caught my attention for so very long. In that moment, I knew that my plan was working.
"Ebony, Ebony Swan," I responded with a smile, "pleased to meet you."
Soon after that as we sat there speaking, she finally asked a key question.
"So what brings you to this lovely beach?" Aisha asked.
"Oh, I have always wanted to learn to surf, but I've never been game enough to try." I responded.
"Really, I could help you there."
"You could?"
"Sure. It would be my pleasure."
Not long after that, Aisha and I hit the waves, as she started to try to teach me to surf. Seeing we only had her board, she tried to teach me how to balance by having me ride the front of it. Sure, I wasn't any good at it, but it was lots of fun.
In truth, the problem was my padding. Seeing it was mostly made of foam, it tended to take on water. That made it really heavy, and if I am to be honest, really dangerous for me. The extra weight kept on dragging me down.
