When it comes to feminine hygiene products, I’m your man.

Let me adjust my skirt and tell you what this is all about. Being a crossdressing advertising executive does give me something of a unique perspective on some things.

It all started when I overheard Joe, at the advertising agency, saying very intensely into his phone, “when it comes to feminine hygiene products, I’m your man!”

In case you’re unaware I work for a busy advertising agency as an account executive. Joe is a senior account exec, and runs a number of large accounts, including Allied Brands And Concepts (ABC Corp). Shortly after I overheard this unlikely declaration I was called into an urgent creative meeting along with a selection of other staff.

I was the last into the boardroom, and drawing the short straw found myself seated next to Jack, the head of finance. Jack’s a pretty notorious character and very prickly. Moments after I arrived Barry, the CEO called the meeting to some semblance of order.

“What’s it all about, Joe?” said Barry.

“Well, ABC has been let down by one of their other agencies. They want us to pick up the ball and run with it on a product they’re bringing to market,” said Joe.

“So, why the urgency?” asked Sylvia, the steel haired hard-nosed VP of marketing.
