Hi Ladies
I had a thought last night so I figured I would ask the rest of you as well.
I opened the med cabinet. I saw my after shave that I never use.
When I am dressed, I love the smell of perfume. I have several different ones and use them regularly.
How strange I thought. Both smell good but when I am in drab, I never use any but when I dress, I can hardly wait to put some on.
Has anyone else noticed the same sort of thing that you do and don't do?

I didn't realise what a slob I was until I was wearing clothes I actually valued! I daren't lean on anything. I daren't brush against anything. It might harm my lovely girly things! And that would bother me a LOT.
As a bloke I smoke, drop ash on myself, lean on anything leanable (so it's a bit grubby so what) and wipe my hands on my trouser legs.
So yes, I do act differently. I think Julie wants to give up smoking! Crazy or what? (She is worried her nice white blouse might smell of tobacco! Blimey! She'll be wanting to give up drinking next so she can get into a teeny dress.)
Donna, that's very thought provoking. "Vickie" in a manner of speaking is the real me 24/7 dressed or not. I do know when I'm not dressed and I'm out, I see a lot of GG's that I envie so bad it hurts. Also I feel so much better and natural when dressed. I have to give this some more thought.
Love,
Vickie
Well if any serious housework needs to be done around here it's done as Julie.

Donna,
Thanks for asking this. I find that I tend to carry myself differently when dressed. I also pay more attention to detail (a girl thing?). One really interesting thing, when visiting Vegas, in drab I like to play Blackjack and other table games. When dressed, I can sit and play Keno on a machine for hours (much to the delight of my wife). But I also play table games dressed. Haven't quite figgured this one out yet.

Hi Donna,
Well, I feel like I'm always Christine anyway, and even in drab I will wear cologne, make sure I'm dressed nice etc. It just intensifies when I'm dressed is all. I too like nice perfume, being properly coiffed, makeup just so, etc. My wife often jokes that if I had been born a woman I would never get out of the house for all the primping that I do.
Hopefully, the results are worth the effort!
Love,
Christine

Makes you think
Just about everything seems different actually when in Vallari mode. It's almost like being born again. For some reason everything feels new when you do it en-femme. I guess thats just an age/expierence thing though. There's definitely a personality change that takes place.
I primp, sash, stare at the mirror, take pictures of myself, wiggle my tush, and other things. I do none of them when in drab.
My personal and dressing habits as far as neatness didn't change. I have been in military and quasi military jobs my whole life which required a manicured appearance. It is also one I prefer anyway. So, when I dress, everything is as perfect as I can make it. Everything balanced, everything even, pressed, creased, clean, etc.
My actions are what one would expect going from male mode to female mode. I act feminine. It has bled into my male mode quite a bit in that I am not anywhere near as rough acting as I was. I am more a nurturing person than I was and almost always am conscious of womens attire and style, including jewelry.
I have a real problem finding shoes since I require a women's 14 so I am very limited. There are some shoes I have seen that I just fell in love with, but no one in the world makes them over a size 10. So the 3 pair that I do have I value.

me well im the same person just free, having a female brain inside. So when im dressed I feel more like a female on the outside so i dont hate myself as much and feel a little less depressed. It calms my mind and helps me think better not having the constant im traped in this male body feeling i have every day. Its then I can relax do poetry, art. I sit back with a nice cup of tea and let the ideas flow.
I just feel ,---"Female"---I enjoy the feeling, and have a feeling of "openess".---I have no idea of what it is, but I like it!---You may call it ---"Freedom".---I don't know.------Thats what I feel though!

Aside from that, yeah I definitely do act differently and try not to do the same kinds of things I would do as a man would do.
Well I do have to shake my bum a bit differently due to walking in my high heels. Oh and I do use my hands more cautiously so as not to chip the polish off my nails. Uhm yeah and I usually have to lift my dress to...well you knowOtherwise I guess I do things the same but my stance and all have been pretty androgynous for years now. Sometimes more femm than anything else. Have to be careful who's watching sometimes.

Become much more relaxed, as it seems I can let go of the stresses of the day and enjoy the finer things in life.

Dear Donna,
Here's a strange one!
I have lived in the country nearly all my life and not many things in nature bother or frighten me. Or so I thought. A week ago I was fully dressed and a mouse ran across the floor in front of where I was walking. I cannot explain but I had a difficult time crossing the path that it took. I was honestly scared of that little mouse even after it was long gone.
I still picture it scurrying when I walk near that spot. Ordinarily I wouldn't give it a second thought.
Love Jan (scaredy cat)
About the only thing I'll do different is in the way I sit, especially at the dinner table, no leaning on elbows.
I don't wear cologn, but have worn perfume when drab or enfemme.

Yeah, I do carry myself differently when dressed up and also "think" differently too, you know? It's a bit overpowering sometimes when I actually do consider just how much different the world looks to Olivia. Sometimes I am consciously aware of the dichotomy and then, sometimes it's simply that I am Olivia at that moment and she thinks like that. O
Behavioral changes while dressed...
Well, I don't have to act masculine/macho any more! It's not that dressing in femme changes my behavior, but that in drab, society expects me to be louder, aggressive, sporty, etc....
In other words, I put on more of an act as a guy, than as a gal. I'm naturally introverted, quiet, friendly, polite, soft spoken, etc. Problem is as a guy, I don't get any respect unless I'm aggressive, deep voiced, etc.
"Nice guys finish last" right?
sigh....
Oh, and sorry to spook you there, Jan... ;-)

Well according to Kew I seem more relaxed, spend an inordinate amount of time in the mirror {imagine that!}, am preoccupied with my wardrobe and fashion in general {and Kew's wardrobe as well}, have an uncanny knack for styling my wig, like to explore Kew's jewelry box {even though she did buy me two pairs of earrings!}, want to go out--a lot! {and went out on my own last night, en femme of course, leaving Kew at home}, still have a ways to go to let out my fem feelings {again according to Kew} and, hmmmmm, I'll have to think on the rest
hugs

I actually don't do much differently en femme than I do en nonfemme [?]. I go out, I watch TV, I have shop, I socialize.
Wellll....maybe 2 things...when en femme, I no longer walk like an ape nor do I play hand shake strength games.
Hugs......

Mac - It really does Just Work
I have noticed that I have a completely different way of thinking whenever I go out dressed. I am more considerate, not as aggressive (especially behind the wheel), and a lot nicer. I am also more aware of my surroundings. It is amazing how few people actually will look at people in other cars as they are driving. I can drive the 25 miles from work to home (actually from the car wash a few miles away from work to my storage building close to home) completely en femme and not get a single look from anyone. Or if they look, they don't notice. I have also noticed that I am more comfortable driving en femme than I am in drab. I noticed that this morning as I was changing---I told myself that I really hate changing from femme to drab. I absolutely LOVE changing from drab to femme.
I carry myself more fiminim while dressed. I feel like I go through a complete change, I think different. Male mode, I have to act more macho, but when in fem, I feel more relaxed.
