I went to my psychologist once dressed in a tunic top and silver leggings. On another occasion, I visited her while wearing Ann Taylor slacks and a sweater. Third time: Express jeans and a blouse. I...

Bra, forms, pantyhose to keep my legs warm, and a Victoria's Secret nightshirt that comes to my knees. Also: a night-wear wig, specially made for sleeping, that I bought from The Wig Company several...

Best: Hiring an Estee Lauder saleswoman from Saks to give me a four-hour tutorial on makeup.

Worst: Buying one of those expensive [simulated female lower anatomy]; it's awful.

My older sister brought the rest of her high school cheerleading squad to our house on many occasions, and they always forced me to dress like one of them and then participate in their overnight...

Here's something I wrote about shopping for another site a few years ago...

You're frustrated with buying women's clothes by mail order, only to be surprised at the drape of the fabric or that the...

I'm guessing I have 40 bras. I wear sports bras for working out, and bras with no padding or projection when I underdress. If I'm getting into full feminine attire, I need either a 38A or 38B...

Pregnant.

Is there any other experience that more embodies the essence of femininity?

I've tried on women's clothes, while shopping as a male, at least a hundred times. In such stores as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Express, Cache, Macy's, Dillard's, Juicy Couture, White House/Black...

Yes, you should tell your psychiatrist about your crossdressing. Essentially, if you don't reveal all the major dynamics in your life to your therapist, you're wasting your time and your money. Your...

How about...

* I had just poked myself in the eye with my mascara wand.
* The hair dryer I use on my wig is so loud.
* I broke a heel on my way to the door.

For my money, nothing is more complicated than getting into back-zipper pants. Needless to say, you can't rotate them, as you might with a skirt that zipped in the rear. And unlike side-zip slacks,...

My first time out as Fran: A seven-block walk along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington.

You can have an excellent beach or pool experience if you keep a few things in mind:

* You'll find lots of women in both venues lacking the perfect bodies of a 23-year-old who spends hours a week...

...When you instinctively keep your knees pressed tightly together while in drab.

...When several of your city's seamstresses, the ones who alter your dresses to account for your...

Here's how I rationalize the money I lay out for Fran's wardrobe:

I have never had an affair, thus motel rooms and divorce lawyers haven't cost me a dime. I don't spend money on season tickets for...

A couple years ago, when I flew to a conference in Atlanta, I found upon arriving that the airline had lost my suitcase. The upshot was that the only things I had to wear were the grungy jeans and...

I've been wearing a bra, panties and pantyhose underneath my men's clothes for years, and in all variety of circumstances and locales.

I have lectured at an Ivy League university with the squeeze...

* You've stood up to call dozens of business meetings to order while feeling the gentle grip of control-top pantyhose under your grey flannel suit.
* The sales girls at Ann Taylor and Cache are on a...

My fantasy life revolves around imagining myself as a submissive lesbian, and that's the mindset I invariably slip into when I'm dressed, starting from the second I fasten up my bra and not ending...

I love looking pregnant. I've put together a 20-pound pad that I fasten to my abdomen -- using the same stomach-support straps that some women use when they're pregnant -- and it gives me a...

I'm studying at one of the Ivy League's top business schools this academic year. I've been underdressing all semester -- bra, panties, pantyhose -- but now I'm thinking of going to class sometime...

My fantasy is that I’m a submissive lesbian. Four years ago, I got to live that out when I engaged a dominatrix for six consecutive full-day sessions.

Each morning I showed up dressed to the hilt...

I love wearing maternity clothes. In many ways, pregnancy is the quintessential female experience, and I never feel more womanly than when I’m simulating it with the heavy form I attach to my...

Several things come to mind...

* Shopping at Talbots. Anytime.
* Pulling on my older sister's panty girdle one afternoon when I was 10 years old. I was hooked.
* Spending a two-week vacation at...

There's so much talk about shopping, and building up the courage to actually do it, that I decided to post something I wrote several years ago for another site. Hope it's helpful. Here goes...
