Went Out As A Guy!

[Persephone]

It felt so weird!

First, there were the clothes. The combination of multi-layer thick cotton briefs and loose fitting pants puts an enormous amout of material between your legs. It's like walking around in a diaper!

And with no purse, everything you want to have with you has to go into pockets. Even just a few things cause these big lumps that shift around when you walk, and you definitely can't carry anything that you absolutely don't need. And a wallet is a complete pain in the a--, literally! How do guys sit on these things?

Oh, and then there are the shoes! Long and wide, big and flat, they feel like you're wearing swim fins! There is no way to be poised nor graceful walking around in swim fins!

I couldn't get rid of my OPI "Royal Flush Blush" manicure but, when necessary, I tried to keep my hands from showing too much.

As it turned out, by the time we arrived at the event in Hollywood, about a half an hour from home, I had to use the restroom. I didn't hesitate as I marched right through the door marked "Mens." It was cleaner than I expected, but as quiet as an undiscovered tomb! No chatter, no giggling, no subtly eyeing each other at the mirror over the sink (there is no separate mirror for checking your hair, etc.). It was all about avoiding eye contact and keeping heads down. Very strange and hostile feeling.

I kinda settled into the role, trying to remember things like "keep your legs apart" (not that hard with all of the bulk between my legs). And all in all it seemed to go pretty well.

We had an opportunity to spend a little time with Debbie Reynolds. She is as beautiful, as vivacious, and as funny as ever.

A couple of the things she said, "At my age, while I live in Burbank, my boobs live in San Pedro!"

And, telling a story about a director she really didn't like working with, "So one day the crew ran over him with a camera, a really big one on a dolly. I thought it was really sweet of them."

All in all, a very delightful evening. I may try it again sometime!

Hugs,
Persephone.

Weren't you afraid of what people would think? Did you see people look at you and then whisper to someone else? Did anyone giggle?

[Beverley Sims]

Hmmm! Now you know how a guy feels.

Was there some reason for not underdressing?

Or was it an exercise so you won't FORGET.

[Kathi Lake]

Well, it's nice to see you haven't totally forgotten how.

Good for you. Now you see what us part timers have to put up with every day!!!

[arbon]

Its weird, and stupid, but I have thought about doing that, just to see what it would feel like now, dressing and trying to pass as a guy. Make sure I don't like it! Definitely would have to do it out of town where no one knows me though.

[Deborah_UK]

It would be difficult for me, I don't have any mens' clothes. Perhaps I could go shopping, but what if the sales assistant thought the clothes were for me! Perhaps I could make up a fictitious boyfriend and say they were a present?

[SexyLexie]

....until my first time out. I'm still very closeted & looking for someone to dress with. My femme side is so strong & I don't think Incan remain "inside" anymore!

[Lorileah]

it is a slippery slope... You may start watching sports and eating with your fingers

[Ressie]

If not for Debbie Reynolds this would have been a dreadful night! You were very brave and have set a precedent for all of us. I've heard that whistling is a common practice in the men's room is that true?

Watch out! Next thing you will get a hobby like civil war reenacting and have to run around in wool, with guns and all that stuff. (try to do that with long nails.)

There's only one person I'm not out to. My uber redneck father in law. Luckily I only see him thrice a year. Saturday was one of them.
I still wore girl jeans, took off the nail polish (I have gel nails, so I kept my hands in my pockets alot, but so do guys), put my hair in a little pony tail, and donned my last remaining T-shirt. I felt really out of place in my own house. Then, to make things worse, he wouldn't leave. I had to go pick up my truck before the shop closed, I needed it sunday. I pushed him out at ten to five. No time to change. My wife drove me to the garage,and I ran in there, all ugly in makeshift guy mode, and carrying my purse. As I was paying for the repairs, the owner looked me up and down, and said "You make a much prettier woman". Made a crappy day worth while.-Celeste

If you don't need to get into guy clothes...don't. They're really cumbersome.

[kimdl93]

I do it all the time, and honestly, no one notices that I'm dressed like a man. Its much easier than we might think. I encourage everyone to try it once in a while to see just how utterly boring it is!

[Leah Lynn]

That's just sick! And disgusting! Are you some kind of pervert????

Just kidding!!!!!

Unfortunately I still have to work in guy (yech!) mode, so I feel your pain.

No one else tells us anything about what it feels like to be TS and have to return to drab for an occasion trip out.

As a CD, I LOVE reading about a perspective I will never experience!

I LOVED Debbie Reynolds, by the by. What a lovely woman, actress, and person!

[Loni]

been so long i had forgotten what it was like in mens clothing. not turning back.
i love my frills.

skimpy undies and tight jeans but living in a skirt is best.


but why dress as a guy?

[BLUE ORCHID]

Going out as a guy is like riding a bike once you've done it you never forget how to do it.

[RenneB]

I know how you feel. I had to dress as a guy today.... took me 4 minutes to pick out my pants, polo shirt and shoes (only two choices brown or black) and get dress. A quick come of the hair, brush the teeth and I was out the door in under 10 minutes... What a rush. I don't think I even looked in a mirror...

In fact it's kind of the same outfits that most of the male AND females wear 'round these parts. I haven't seen a pair of heels since I went to the attorney's office.... LOL..

Try reloading a muzzle loader with nails !

Watch out! Next thing you will get a hobby like civil war reenacting and have to run around in wool, with guns and all that stuff. (try to do that with long nails.)

[Barbara Maria]

You got to meet Debbie Reynolds? I'm jealous. I love her.

[I Am Paula]

Going out as a guy is like riding a bike once you've done it you never forget how to do it.

I disagree. It's the nuances we lose. Like...never use the word nuance. Or always remember to ask someone to pull your finger when you're gonna fart. When the boys are over, don't say 'would anybody like a drink? I have an icy cold bottle of chablis'.

[DianeDeBris]

I just love your sense of humor! Hugs - Diane
