I would like to know how long it took you wearing (how many times) make-up to really feel that you could show the women inside? Over the past year, I have only had a few occasions in which I could fully dress and wear my wig and attempt to wear make-up. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity four or five times over just the past two weeks. I feel like I am finally getting a hand at putting on my make-up and you're right ... practice does make perfect ... but it takes A LOT of practice and I don't get that many opportunities. I have really been feeling much less stressed at home and my relationship with my wife (she does not know) is really good right now - just celebrated 15yrs together.
