What, or who, do u see in your mirror?

[docrobbysherry]

U can make this question as simple, or as philosophical as u like!

Do u see yourself, or the woman inside u? Maybe u R her, by now? The woman u should have been born to be? The woman u wish u were? A familiar friend who visits occassionally? A fem project in the making? Or maybe, just a guy in a dress?

I don't look in the mirror until I've completed my fem look. Which includes my special face and wig. Then, I see, ( hopefully), an attractive, erotic female staring back. Familiar, yet with a different look every time she appears. I'm NOT sure yet, who she is. But, I KNOW I don't want to see me! With luck, she'll look a little like the fantasy woman I've seen in my mind!

[Lisa Golightly]

Me, Myself, and I.

[RWillow]

As Lisa said, I see the three of us, Me, Myself, and I.

I don't see anything that wasn't already there to begin with RS.

Well Doc, I think I understand you very well. For me the answer to "who she is" was found beyond the closet door, or "beyond the mask" if you will. I am not being critical about where you are at.

I constantly observe the proceedings in the mirror when I am in "good girl" mode trying this and that(after MU) until I'm satisfied with the results. This assumes that I'm not putting on a favorite outfit that doesn't require the mirror until the last check.

Otherwise if I CHOOSE to be a bit naughty, (separate wardrobe for that}
I may do it the way you do.

Either way, I am not concerned with the kinds of questions you are asking yourself... I'm not questioning myself. Like I say, going beyond the closet door was the key. Fully exploring the contents of both Pandora's boxes (laugh) qualified everything for me to my satisfaction. And sometimes fantasies should remain fantasies. There is the potential to "loose" something, but something can be gained as well.

Having said that, I'm fairly conservative now. Don't sweat it too much, and I hope you find the answers you are seeking. dd

Addition: I break it down like this just to be able to discuss it. As I have mentioned elsewhere any separate aspect of myself that I express is, "a varriation on a theme" the theme being "just me". In all honesty, If I am being " just me" when I dress that would have to include "him". So, I just like it better when I'm CDing to exclude "him". it's more fun for me that way. And that is also a choice. Oh well.

For decades I was just a guy in a dress until late last year, when I finally discovered the magic of make up and hair. Now I see the girl side of me bursting out in full colour....

I only see myself. There is nothing else to be seen, to be honest.

[LisaM]

I really don't look closely at myself in male mode---I never have.

But when I see myself after getting fully dressed and made-up, I see the person I always felt I was and am.

[jasmine57]

When I look in the mirror I see the woman that I always knew was there. And I thank God that it's me.

[Kathi Lake]

The part of myself that seems to have the most fun.

The side of myself that I always knew was in there.

A merged whole of my masculine and feminine traits.

Me!

[Persephone]

Me, Myself, and I.

Normally, I see Lisa's "Me, Myself, and I."

My femme personna is dominant, so "she" is typically the one using the mirror. At those times I'm focused on actions -- putting on my makeup, doing my hair, looking for stray eyebrow hairs, checking my dress.

What sometimes catches me totally by surprise is being someplace and walking past a mirror and, without any thought, seeing, for a fleeting instant, the actual woman. Those are positive, electric moments! But as soon as I start to think, they're gone.

My twin sister, my girl friend and myself.

[Sigrid Cutie]

i think what i see in the mirror is something between The woman i wish i was and A familiar friend who visits occassionally.

[Carol A]

When I look into the mirror I see and aging women who try to look younger then she is. Thank God for makeup and wigs

[pamela_a]

When I look in the mirror I see only me. Not a man but not quite the woman I want to see looking back either. Perhaps the best way to put it is I see a work in progress.

[Stormgirl]

I see a girl that wants to come out.

[Alice B]

Damm! I see the same three people Lisa sees. Is that scary, or what?

[Billie_P]

I see me. A bit of guy and a bit of girl, no matter how dressed.

[Deborah Jane]

I see Debs
Obvious really i suppose as it's Debs looking into the mirror

[Lorileah]

Damn, since I got new glasses I see all the wrinkles and crows feet. I see that I should have taken better care of myself. Luckily when I am getting ready I can take off the glasses and then I aint so bad

[Cary]

I see me.

For decades I was just a guy in a dress until late last year, when I finally discovered the magic of make up and hair...

...only I don't have a wig yet and I don't wear any make-up...I'm still at that stage where I only see a guy dressed as a girl.
