Thanks for hangin with us Greenie. Your insight is helpful.
I cannot explain it. I just open my storage and add a few items--and if the excitement isn't there, put on a few more, (cute wig perhaps or high heels). And if I still look and (worse) feel like an old man in a dress--add lots of makeup. I want to look like a woman that would be attractive to me. Short hair, heels, nice legs.
I should point out--I am also a bit of a fetish crossdresser. I look in the mirror and pretend that a domineering, yet caring and beautiful girlfriend is forcing me to dress and taking me as a guest to an out of town wedding in drag.
