I notice a lot of you ladies like to get all dolled up and go out, and from the pictures I’ve seen many of you really are gorgeous and, to me, brave. It’s got me to thinking what I get and want to get out of my cross dressing.
I cannot pass. I did go out once with some people on Halloween and it was fun, but I was obviously a guy in a dress with little fashion sense. Make-up seems to me to be a bother – all I wear is occasional lipstick (you gotta love lipstick) and sometimes paint my nails. I know with help I could become competent, and there’s a lot of good advice here as to how to accomplish that.
Since my wife died I live alone and dress pretty much every day but usually very simply – I’m typing this in just my bra (with inserts) and panties, and may get more dressed up tonight or may not. So I’m happy without being fully dressed and primped.
So my question is, what am I missing by happily staying safe at home? The underlying question is, is it worth the effort to go out? I do not want my dressing to become known because it would cause me a lot of problems, both socially and at my job.
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
