my Dears,
apologize for having been somewhat infrequently here of late, seasons will come around again for more more keyboard pounding, but dressing continues.
and last night i came out. oh, girls, i am so far from truly attempting to pass but baby steps were taken.
it takes about an hour to makeup and dress myself but this time was special. my heart was racing! new snow covered the ground. my dark blue navy coat would never stand out if a car were to pull up the neighborhood street and heels with it would not seem out of place either for the smartly dressed career women who share my street with powderhounds and river guiding girls.
still, as i clicked down the cul de sac, i was exhilarated! no longer a slave to my mirror, i am out breathing the air, feeling natural movements of my forms and pads, loving the chill air on my calves! no glamour queen, not dolled up, my stockings were hidden from view, i felt as on a normal, late night walk, completely natural.
i know many of you have done so much more.
even so, i have read here of many others who began this same way.
it was not my first time outdoors in dress, that happened in the woods two summers ago where it was oh so easy and fun. but to be done up so that if someone were to see me from not too close i would seem a normal, unmemorable sight, that was the first for me.
it thrilled me to no end.
friends, we are all so different here.
and yet, i feel such a kinship to so many of you. it seems the more different we are, the more we share.
even when not able to dress so often or to truly go out,
on the inside i consider you all my sisters and brothers.
thank you for your encouragement.
breezily ,
jessie
