Exposed in dressing room

Dancer/Theater guy (gay/bi 24) here with small pp.

Last year with my dance theater group we were doing a show in a small theater (we are a very broke theater group 😅) which had only one changing room for all of us, which was 4 girls, 2 guys, me, our two teachers, and the makeup girl.

Well being the one with the most dancing experience I had to take a role that involved doing some ballet artistry, but the costume was very specific and the one we bought had to be modified to fit the role so it was a costume plus dance belt in one. (For those that don’t know what the dance belt is, it is the underwear you wear in ballet/dance shows). Also just after the dance part I had my next part coming along.

This meant that after I finished with the dance I had to go back to the dressing room, remove the costume (which left me completely naked - as you don’t wear anything under the dance belt) then remove my makeup (after getting naked as it was a lot of makeup and needed to wash it out and not stain the white costume) and then wear my next costume after I remove the makeup completely and then reapply the new makeup.

When the teacher/director explained to me the mechanics of the changing process and I understood it entailed me being naked in front of everyone I was mortified.

I have a pretty small pp and I would have to be full exposed to everyone in my group to see, for 6 weekend in a row…

The first time I did the full process during the final rehearsal with the full costumes I thought I could cover myself with my hands while getting the makeup off, but it was impossible. There were 2-3 minutes that I had to be butt naked in front of all.

Well, as my luck has it, my best friend is also in the theater group, and despite the fact that I love her to death she is a bitch and a half.

First time I undressed, while most people were minding their own business, she made a very loud laughing sound for a couple of seconds, and people asked what happened… and her immediate response was “well… look”. So at that point I had everyone including the teacher/director, the makeup artist and the rest of the actors just pose for a split second to just look at me at my predicament and giggle with my small pp…

After that basically for the rest of the shows there were not major laughs, only some grins, but a few people from the group still make jokes here and there in a playful manner, and my best friend likely won’t give it a rest. She changed my name in her phone from BFF to tiny-BFF and makes sure often repeat this “funny story” to new people we meet.
