How did it start for you

[Sweet Cindy]

Started young, like most. Strangely drawn to the lacy and silky things in the laundry hamper. I didn't know why, but I wanted my own.

So I actually made my own lingerie. I cut up two pairs of my boy undies to make a bra and thong. I even sewed some lace trim along the edges!

hi, Although like most I remember trying onMom's shoes and stuff when quite young, my true journey began at age 14 when my buddy Jonny and his sister dressed me as a cheerleader for Halloween. I became a girl that night in every way you can imagine. Willow

My earliest recollection is looking at the models in the Sears, JCPenney, and Montgomery Ward catalogs, at about age 5 or so. Certain models with certain looks really captivated me, and I knew that it was somehow not expected of me as a little boy to have such interest. I always look at magazines (like Look & Life) to see pictures of women, especially those with deep red lipstick, pretty hair and makeup, and high heels. Around age 10 I started to sneak into the bathroom and put on lipstick. Into my teen years I tried more things, especially lipstick and high heels, and started dressing in private in my twenties. In my thirties, I really started to put it ALL together: my own clothes, pantyhose, high heels, wigs, eyelashes, jewelry, and makeup. In the years since, I experiment less and stick with the things I know excite me: over-the-top everything: short skirts, glittery jewelry, perfume, very high heels, long and thick eyelashes, heavy makeup, and dark red lipstick (applied heavily) with long nails painted to match.

I am now marred to a under standing and supportive wife for the last 23 years I came out to her and she just wanted to know what took Me so long to tell her. I just think of all the years I could have been dressing oh what a waste.

Wow, interesting. I sometimes wonder if my SO knows more than I think. I'd love to know what she knows and if she's supportive, but it's like playing Russian Roulette.

It was my mother's girdle that first got me hooked. I was very young, way before puberty. I would try on her girdle and later her stockings every chance that I got. When a teenager, I bought my first girdle, an "action leg brief girdle" I think from Sears. It was too big and I even took it back. It was later in life that I got past under dressing the lower half of my body and finally started wearing a bra, skirts, jeans, tops, etc.
I just love wearing womens clothes.
