Tell us your best Memory

[Sandygal]

Hi all..I sent in my intro a couple of days ago and the responses were fun to read. I love to read about everyones best cross dressing memorys . Why? Because most of us will never leave the house, so we read your stories and try to imagine being in your shoes or heels. My one and only time out was fantastic. Preparing for it was just as good. I always wanted an excuse to dress up in womans clothes, wig, makeup, the works and go out. My wife who at the time did not know about my crossdressing, helped me dress. We were invited to a Halloween party and I wanted to be a Harley chick.(I really did want to be a Harley chick). So off we went to the goodwill store. We found a nice red knee length skirt that I just adore.We found a white long sleeve shirt and a blue jean vest. I pulled many more skirts on and off than I needed, but it was the day before Halloween, so nobody cared. Our next stop was Kmart. I need Black bra, panties ,and fishnet stockings. My wife was starting to notice that I was enjoying this way to much.Halloween night I put everything on including makeup and painted nails.(my wife dressed as a cheer leader) I wish I could fit into that outfit, whoops! I'm straying. Anyhow we hop onto my black Fatboy and down the road we go.I want to cry, I'm so happy. Cars and trucks kept pulling up and would stare at us and give us the thumbs up. We had a great time at the party and headed home. It was a great couple of days. Everyone should ride a bike with a skirt on once in their life. WOW! My wife since then has found out about my crossdressing. We don't talk about it. I'm back in the closet, at least she knows and maybe she will talk about it in the future. Come on everyone, lets hear your story.
Love to all

Many years ago, on a walk in the early evening through downtown and I got my first whistle. I remember how good that felt and it gave me a HUGE confidence boost.

I've had many since, but none have me feel as good as the first one. Gee, that sounds kind of familiar... LOL .

Over the many happy years and memories, I think of the days when my girlfriend would arrive home and one by one, show me the things she'd bought for me, the longlines and the dresses and the ,oh yes, the sound of the 'eggs' clicking together on the girdles.
But over fourty years, there are a lot of good thoughts.

My favorite memory is driving in the Idaho desert in a sun dress,silky hose,in heels,the warm air blowing up the dress,that was fun.

[Helen MC]

The first time in my teens that the rest of the family went away on holiday and I was home alone for a whole week and was able to dress up in my big sister's complete school uniform as well as her knickers which I wore anyway.

[Connie D50]

The first time was a trial run we went to a donut shop at night and had coffee no one paid any attention to us and on the way out I said hi to 2 police men walking in.

Some 13 years ago, I attended a seminar that changed my life. I was about
to retire from the military and decided to go where I would live after retirement and attempt to book a seminar (for profit of course). So Iswitched
to my female appreance, kissed my wife goodby and traveled some 300 miles.
I checked in to the hotel using my credit card (male). The next day and for
the rest of the week, I cold called small businesses appearing female and passing out my business cards (male name, address and telephone number).
My starting statement however didn't always meet with approval but more often than not it did. Winston Churchill said it best "the only fear we have is fear itself".
Happy CDing! I am!

Well it would have to be when i went out in the daytime and stopped at the post office and bought stamps and when i was paying the nice young man working the window said " thank you mam have a nice day stop again " that was so nice to be referred to as a woman it made me feel so feminine and pretty I've wanted to go out again but that time it was close to halloween so he probabally thought I was going to a party and that was my costume but it was still a thrill to go out in the daytime knowing it was just the woman in me who went out ttfn

[Krystenw]

My favorite memory was when I was in the 6th grade. Halloween was on Monday and we were supposed to get dressed up for the day. My folks were out of town and I was staying with the neighbor for the weekend. She asked what I was going to dress up as and I told her my parents had forgotten to get me anything.
She suggested I go as a 1920's flapper. We spent the weekend getting ready and when I went to school on Monday all the girls thought that I had on the nicest dress they had ever see.
Of my childhood memories that is one I remember most.

[Jennaie]

I suppose that it was the last time I went shopping. I went into the store, nervous and scared but held my head up and smiled, walked slow and and took short steps. After I was in the store for a short while, I realized that no one was taking notice of me.

Then, a woman with three small children walked by me, her boy looked up at me and smiled, as did two teenage girls a few minutes later. I then became aware of the fact that I "was passing". Once I realized that I was passing, I became so much more comfortable and suddenly felt like I was who and where I belonged, a woman in the womens dept, that I had a right to be there and that no one saw it any differently.

I just loved the whole experience. I was a woman and accepted as a woman. I quit worrying about being clocked and just shopped, tried on clothing and looked at jewelry.

My best memory, so far.

Besides a lot of other first times and childhood memories (good and bad ones) it has been a day when it felt the first time .... well .... normal.
No guilt, no shame, no doubts, no fear, not beeing nervous, no excitement, no arousal, no narcism, no ....... just boring normal.

That very first moment, when I realized that I didn't notice, was a very happy and important one, on the road towards self acceptance.

I went and got a make-over by a professional female impersonator in the Boston area. My wife and I had decided to go out afterwards, if we were comfortable with it, and see where we wanted to go. Our first stop was a family style restaurant. I received my first female greating when the waiter asked us "how are you ladies doing today". I still get a thrill when I get a lady or a mam but that first one was very special.

We then went walking on the Charles River across from downtown Boston. While I was getting the cameras ready so I could have my picture taken with the skyline in the background I bent over a little too far. My wife caught a bicycle rider going by with a large grin and noted that he could see right down my shirt, past my cleavage to my navel! My first gawking.

Then we went shopping at a large dept store. We were walking around the jewelry dept, only women as far as you could see. I kept looking at myself in any mirrors handy and decided I must be passing.

After that weekend, my wife said I had a smile on my face for days. I still get a thrill remembering that first time.

While at LG Camp once, another Camper had to go down the mountain to get something from a store. Rather than changing into boy mode, I got the keys for the car and we drove on down. Arriving at the store, the two of us went inside, got the merchandise, paid and headed back. Just like another day...

One of my best memories is so simple it is almost laughable. It is about the first time I went to a CD party. Being all dressed up in the company of others was a great feeling in itself. But I remember just sitting on a couch talking to a couple of girls and at the same time doing my nails with pink nail polish. One of the other girls was also doing her nails. It all seemed so natural but also so memorable.

[jamie_44]

A memorable time for me was when I went shopping at an outdoor mall and guys in a convertible hollered "check out the blond in the pink dress" and hooted a little. I felt great, loved the attention.

My favorite memory is from a few years ago,before I met my wife.It was one of the few times in my life I've been completely shaved and the first time I had a real wig,not a Halloween wig.I did my makeup and nails,got dressed in black lace bra and matching panties,black hose and slip.I was wearing a dark green velvet long sleeved dress that came to just above the knees,and a gorgeous pair of heels. I thought that with the exception of my hands,I looked good enough for a straight man to hit on me.I wanted so badly to go out,but never did - one of my bigger regrets in life.

[Eugenie]

My best memory is the wonderful evening I spend with the great girls of CROSSDRESSERS INTERNATIONAL (CDI) in Manhattan last year in May, just about a year ago.

The evening was spent in three parts, socialising around a glass of wine and a few crackers and peanuts, a wonderful diner, and finaly, a discussion with two Makeup profesionnals from Broadway theaters.

They were a fabulous group to meet. I hope that I will have the pleasure to visit them again sometime.

to all these super gurls

See you soon, I hope.

Eugenie
PS: I just realized that if some of them are reading this post (I've seen a few of them on this forum) they may not have recognized me as I have a completely different wig.

I have lots of best memories. My most embarassing are getting pulled over as a youth for recklass driving while dressed (they frisked me) and my sister-in-law giving me a big hug upon my leaving for the airport while I was wearing a bra. She ran her hands across my straps several times and backed up with a rather surprised look on her face.

[Ms. Donna]

Lot of memories... But this one stands out (for me at least):

I was probably around 11 or 12 years old at the time. I made friend with a girl who had moved in around the corner from me. She was my age and we got along well. She had this little game she liked to play; we would go into the shed in her backyard and swap underpants for the afternoon – which we wound up doing pretty much every time we got together to play. We would go into the shed, stand back to back (no looking!), swap undies and then go about the rest of the day. (I remember the first time we did this – her panties were yellow with little flowers on them. They fit differently than my briefs; they fit nicely and I like it.)

There was nothing more to it than that. And before it was time to go home, we would repeat the ritual – switching back to our own undies. One time she had to go in before we had a chance to switch back; I went home in her panties and she in my briefs. We were both so scared, but no one found out. The next day, we returned each other's undies. We continued to do this for a few years, many times swapping for the day and not swapping back.

I realized that something about what we were doing was not quite right. However, we were friends – it was our secret – it was fun – and we enjoyed it. How bad could it be? It was perhaps my first ‘real’ crossdressing experience and it was with a friend who possibly shared the same feelings I did. It was just that we were both too young to understand any of it.

Love & Stuff,
Donna

It really is a joy to read about everyones favorite memory. It puts a smile on your face and it sends a warm chill from your head to your toes. Keep them coming!

[Barb Valentine]

Being in the closet my best favorite memory is
Coming here and meeting all of yous

[Deborah]

My best memory is going down to Seattle and participating in a TG meeting dressed. First time anyone has seen me out of the house en femme.
Only other person to have seen me in drag is my now ex-wife and my parents, but only in pics.

[Cherry Lynn]

We went to a New Years eve party several years ago and the theme was for everyone to come crossdressed. I was the only real CD'er as far as I know and only the host and his wife and one other couple knew I was a CD'er. I got to spend the better part of the day dressed and that evening got to spend time around a crowd. I got lots of compliments from the GG's on my legs. I was in heaven and will never forget that New Years.

[carolinecd2006]

I guess my best memory is the first time i went lingerie shopping to my local lingerie shop. The lady who owns the shop is totally accepting and very good with me. I now visit on a regular basis always fully dressed with seamed stockings and heels, corset etc and usually spend around an hour in the shop office chatting over coffee. Often she is the one who picks out my new bra and panties set. Greta fun.

You are very attractive, your effort does you justice. Very interesting post.

However, when your quote famous statements, cite correctly...

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Inaugural Address,
March 1933.

(NOT Winston Churchill.)
