Crossdressing pet peeves ~!

[Nattastic]

I have browsed a number of threads here over the past week, and found many looking for advice on how to improve their look.

I'm by no means perfect in any way - I realize this, but I just wanted to come out and say it.

Stay up Stockings look awful when they are barely above the knee. I have seen it a hundred times and it always drives me crazy! Pull em up! Get the next larger size.. something! (insert light hearted laugh here)

Stocking tops should rest at above the mid-thigh area, and be level all around... unless due to some rolling in the hay - thats all Im tryin to say

Oh, and how about the back fat a good corset creates? Bugger!

Anyone else have a pet peeve with regard to crossdressing?

Yup, false eyelashes, it doesn't matter how careful i am putting them on, they always end up lop sided or stuck in the wrong place

[Nattastic]

LOL, yeah.. that was my experience with false lashes, coming off.. argh

Then the worry of smudging while working to "fix" the problem.

I have no time for false lashes anymore. Its all about the mascara!

[Karren H]

Nahhh. Don't really have any... Its those little things that make life more interesting after all.... And its exactually the same thing women have to go through... So I'm not complaining!!

[Erica K.]

guys thinking you are a **** or "working" just because you are a CD! At least offer me a drink before you grab my ass

[Sammy777]

Broken heels
runs in your favorite stockings
stay ups that wont stay up
bad hair days
broken nails
not noticing you missed a spot shaving till its to late
make-up and/or wardrobe malfunctions

But like Karren said - I'm not complaining, lol

[joann07]

TANGLING!!! UGH!!!
No matter if it's synthetic or human hair, my wigs just always tangle no matter how many times I comb it or spray on detangling spray.
I don't know how GG's own hair doesn't tangle or get tangled on their necklace chains.

Hugs!

Someone knocking on your door or a phone call that someone is coming over after you get dressed (not selfish)..You are running around mindlessly making sure everything is put away so you don't have girly things laying around.

My nail maintenance is high and not good enough. I work with my hands plus sports and they break constantly. Forget shaping as they also wear so each is its own shape. But I will keep trying. . .

[Nicole Erin]

Sometimes people tend to wear fetish items for CD'ing.
My pet peeve is that somehow wearing jeans and a cute top is not truely CD'ing.
I am a jeans *****

Pet peeves? My post alone could be a thread!

1.) When a small, barely visible strand of wig hair keeps sticking to your lip gloss or lipstick

2.) When you put your makeup on, and as you start to get changed with the bathroom door closed you start sweating immediately onto all that foundation.

3.) When you do your whole transformation routine as normal, but you take one last look in the mirror and you just don't feel the difference. You just see a man in a skirt.

4.) When you go somewhere else (besides home) to change, get there, and realize you left something vital. (foundation, breasts, etc.)

[Tiffany6791]

I'm not sure if this is the same but when I do dress it's usually not with a wig or make up. So if I have to go somewhere in the house with a mirror, I usually don't look in to it so I don't see myself. I know that's kinda weird but anyone else do that?

[Pattie O]

Not getting enough opportunities to fully dress and or go out

[Lori Robins]

How much time have you got?
spending hours putting on makeup and still looking like a guy
spending hours getting ready and smudging or breaking nails
And the number one, I have to agree with Pattie - not getting enough time to dress!!!
Perhaps if I spent less time putting on makeup and breaking nails I would have plenty???

[Rita D]

May I add a "Me Three" to Pattie and Lori's #1? Haven't been able to dress since late December, and I think I'm about ready to implode!

[Carroll]

Telling the wife that tomorrow is a "Carroll" day, getting up shower, shave get dressed (Minus the make-up), then her annoucing that WE have to go some place. I am out of the closet, but not out into the community too much!

[valenstein]

I am a jeans *****

Me too!

Cigarettes and long hair: not a good combo.

People who use the words "crossdresser and "drag queen" interchangeably.

The fifteen pounds I seem to gain just by putting on women's clothes.

Finding nice shoes in my size that don't come with a chrome pole.

[Sakura Rini]

that fact that girls can cd and its fine but its harder for boys
and the fact that its getting harder to find time to dress up.
also finding stuff i like that fits me thats a big peeve for me

[BLUE ORCHID]

If it was too easy it wouldn't fun!!!!
No pain no gain!!!
A job worth doind is a job worth doing right!!!

My biggest peeve is that a lot of times it takes SO long to dress and do makeup and to make sure that you look really good.

Another peeve of mine is the amount of time trying to make sure that all of the makeup is totally off so that when you have stuff to do the next morning (after a night out), that your friends who either don't know or don't care for it, don't notice the makeup that you had on the night before.

I will then agree on the peeve of after getting makeup done and everything, you look in the mirror and to you it still looks like a man in a skirt because you see so much of yourself there, even if nobody else does.

Same here! Don't forget about trying to take everything off and put on something manly at lightning speed.

[geri-tg.]

Shaving. It takes so long to get a really close shave.

[susan fuller]

Having to cut my nails ecause they look to much like a girls. I love long finger nails.

[SarahLynn]

Yes, I have a few.

1. Costumes which some C/D's seem to think is a part of the process. A normal everyday appearance is better.

2. A C/D'r who even though she has made a good attempt to pass and probably does except she gives herself away, by chickening out when going into a restruant. I fully understand the fear but once you've been made the best thing to do is to go to the ladies, check your makeup, and then go to the table of your choice. They will be understanding.

3. Does not having pockets in my skirts and blouses count??? Like where am i suspose to keep the car keys. I surely can't put the belt keeper i use in drab on my 4" wide black plastic belt.

4. Lipstick which does not come off with a simple wipe of a facial tissue. So many of them "bleed" and leave telltail colour behind.
