    Photo/Courage

    G/F and I had a photo shoot last night. I put one up as an avatar.
    Small, out of focus and dim, that's how I look my best...
    It took some balls for me to do this.

    LOL I love the choice of words.

    Looking very nice though. Did your GF help with the makeup? It looks perfect.

    or many years, I took ALL my photos from still out of my videos. Always flatteringly a little blurred!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    Good photo. I never look good in photos(male or fem). My avitar took about 30 or so pics to get an ok one. I'm considering a makeover/photo shoot thats been mentioned on this site before since it's very close to me. If the pros can't make me look good I don't know who can.

    Madeline I just recently put my face pic avatar up, I definitely know what you are talking about when you say balls to do this. I am still shaking when I look at mine, but really it is getting easier. I don't think any one will be on here that I don't want to see me. Hope it is not shallow mixed up thinking. I keep reading about everything posted on the net is in danger and I still did it. Either stupid or hoping no one can make me.

    Having a face avatar tends to lend at least some credence to your posts. Your avatar is very well done. Quite exceptional.

    The more you do it the easier it becomes, that applies to anything to do with dressing.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    Everyone, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. I wasn't fishing for compliments, it was really just a test of bravery. But thank you.

    Jessica, I did the makeup myself. One of my better days.

    For me it felt amazing to be able to share pics with actual people, kinda a way to let the world see how I look without really letting the world see me. Honestly I dont think anyone would recognise me from my pics (hell i know its me and I dont recognise me). Secondly why would anyone else I know be on a site for crossdressers unless they gay or a crossdresser or something anyway, so what would they really do with the knowledge anyway.

    anyway, I guess my point is feel free to post pics, it feels great to share and everyone on here is so kind and helpfull.

    Well, if anyone sees me here, they'll refrain from saying anything because of them not wanting to give themselves out. And if they do and ask me about it, I'll just tell them the truth. "I'm a CrossDresser and I enjoy it. Any other questions?"
    Plus I agree, It makes typing/talking to one another more personable and pleasurable. I admire the folks who post their pictures. You Go Girls

    Your photo looks great. It took me a long time before I posted a photo with my face visible (even if from a distance). It gets easier with time. Photo editing software is your friend here. You can crop, tilt, adjust lighting, and blur if you want to.
