Julie Andrews sang the song "I feel pretty". Do you feel pretty when fully dressed en femme? I know I do.

Not really.
Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.

Pretty sure it was Natalie Wood, Kate...
And in my mind I like to think so, but both Julie and Natalie have all of us beat into a cocked hat...
Kim - prettiness is a thin veneer of image: real beauty lies deep within... Chin up!

"Put some lipstick on - Perfume your neck and slip your high heels on
Rinse and curl your hair - Loosen your hips, and get a dress to wear" Stefani Germanotta
At my age, "pretty" is unobtainable.
Don't know if I could be classified as pretty...but I have been known to sing or hum that song when fully dressed
Sometimes if I look just right, then I kind of feel pretty too!!
When I am en femme I don't feel "pretty" in the sense I will turn heads at the mall. And, I don't mean because people would see a "guy in a dress." I feel very comfortable fully en femme which includes my grey curly shoulder length wig, but, no makeup. I love wearing a dress, heels, slip, bra and panty, hosiery, etc while I go about my daily domestic chores. My body outwardly is in decent shape, height and weight are proportional. I've been wearing dresses for so many decades, the feminine clothes just seem apart of me. I am comfortable in my faded, ripped up jeans and a tee shirt, as well as my feminine attire. I just feel "comfortable."
i feel so alive when dressed
Feeling pretty
I don't feel pretty or look pretty for that matter, but I feel wonderful! My whole persona changes...and it makes me happy!
This was meant to be a fun thread. There will always be a couple of "wet blankets". I'm guessing the goal in mind when dressing and putting makeup on is to look pretty for many of us. Feeling pretty is a by product of that sometimes. BTW Katey on the album I have it's Julie Andrews despite who may have done it first.

Definitely; I especially like using the phrase. That might change temporarily when I first start doing make-up.
I agree with you Kate.... I feel pretty when I get dressed... That's one of my reasons for dressing...
I'm sitting here at his very moment dressed, and I've never felt so pretty in all my life, what a wonderful feeling it is!
Nope. That would be Carol Lawrence, in the first Broadway production recordings back in 1957, you can hear it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6ksBpt1AR8Originally Posted by Katey888

That said, yes, when I wear pretty clothes, I feel well, somewhat pretty. And feel pretty good, too. Which is the whole reason for doing it all.
The best version? Marni Nixon, who dubbed Natalie Wood's performance in the movie. But when I tracked down Natalie's own singing, she was very good. But Marni was better, which is why they stuck with her dub for the movie. It's one of my five favorite movies; I've probably seen it 50 times or more.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Absolutely - I "pretty myself up".
In comparative terms I may not compare with the aforementioned singers, but I certainly look prettier than when I'm in drab !!
I don't really feel pretty, but feel very sexy when wearing a hot outfit and sexy lingerie underneath with some 5 inch heels.
Oh YES! viva la difference'! Pretty lady? Actually, without the pretty clothes, jewelry, hose, shoes, wigs, underwear, not so pretty!! The lady things are what do it!

Kate...absolutely. It's the main reason I dress. I have an undeniable need to look and feel pretty.
Pretty by who's standards. The media?
I feel pretty to myself, and if you feel pretty and happy that's
what really matters.
Smile and enjoy you time.
Yes and no I do feel much prettier when i'm dressed, but at the same time not really because my figure isn't even close to what I want.
It's not so much that I feel pretty, but I certainly do feel sexy. I just wish I actually looked as good as I feel.
Maybe not "pretty," but I guess I do have a kind of special feeling at that moment...

I always FEEL pretty. Whether other people would agree, I don't know. I also feel more pretty on some days than others. Variation like that is the spice that keeps this interesting.
It's alarming how charming I feel... When I get dolled up my first thought when looking in the mirror is, "I'd do her." So, yeah, I think I'm pretty and desirable and that's such a difference from male mode. I don't really care (too much) if anyone agrees with my assessment -- I feel great.
I feel good when dressed, but pretty definitely not.
