So I was reviewing some saved posts, and I came across a style question that said "what would my Dad think". Now, we’ve all done the “what are you wearing”threads, and they are fine, if a bit stale to the ‘veterans’ here.
But this gave me an idea: don’t just say what you are wearing, but also what your Dad would say about the outfit, were he assuming to be looking as his GG daughter.
Dad raised me well, I think. Not spoiled nor snotty, and not stupid. Thanks Dad, you set the bar pretty high some times, and you were right to do so. But I think Dad would be totally lost on the CD?TG/TS thing. Simply beyond comprehension. Oh yes, there were time I wanted to dump the dirty details on him… perhaps payback for being CD?? Whatever. He came from a time when CD thoughts were labeled “wrong”. Period.
I feel sorry for the guy, he worked with what he had.
But the last person I’d consider asking about fashion when I was in my late teens was Dad. (Looking back, I’m not sure I dressed any better than he…)
And most of us do not tell dad we are crossdressers. But consider if you were a female, either GG or TS: Honestly describe your outfit, and then stop and think: "what would my Dad think"
Analyze this idea: What would he say, seeing you as a GG, in the outfit you are now wearing? (You can do Mom too- or instead of, if Dad is not appropriate)
I’ll go, first victim:
Wearing a Meijer’s (K-Mart like dept store in the midwest) dress: Nicely dressy yet with an air of demure. B/W stripes on a black knit base, red band at the hem, red belt. I’m about a size c or d breast. My Maybelline red/pink nailpolish would not go well with the Polish Roman Catholic ideals, even in the short, chic format. Black matte tight not too ****tty, Meijer’s/Walmart black flats with a patent toe. And my Baby Phat black puffer jacket size L which is a little tight on me (as opposed to an XL size).. for when I get cold (we keep the temp at 64°). It’s cute, probably more fitting for a younger person.
What would your Dad (or Mom) say?
