*What I did today!
Hi all!
I decided today would be my first day fully dressed – so please be gentle with me – I think I'm quite brave to do this but I'm sure you'll all be kind! Any (constructive) comments or advice will be gratefully accepted. But two things are obvious, one – I'M ON A DIET FROM NOW ON, and two I MUST STOP BITING MY FINGERNAILS.
It started well when I couldn't find the remote for my camera.... So all the pictures were taken with a timer and as my camera focuses when the timer starts and not just before the shot is taken – that led to a lot of fuzzy pictures.
I also said to myself that the last thing I should do is to forget to take the Tesco's carrier bag (full of male underwear) off of the door and sure nuff – the last thing I did was to forget to take the Tesco's carrier bag off the door.
PART ONE – THE MAKEUP
I decided to do my makeup first – I've never been fully madeup before – I started off by putting on my wig cap. My late wife left me some untouched Covermark makeup – I started with the Magic Base – then a touch of concealer under the eyes – then the foundation, makeup and finishing powder. Having tried this before I know it's to pale for me so I finished off with some darker Almay powder.
I'm quite pleased with the way I'm getting on with eyemakeup – eyebrows being the biggest problem – like many I can't make them too feminine – hopefully buying a brown eyebrow pencil will help. Bit of blue kohl under the eye extending the eye a bit – then two different shadows above the eyes and a touch of gold in the inner corner – finally some mascara (which I ACTUALLY managed to put on without getting it everywhere). Like most I suspect I found my right eye easier than my left.
I smudged my lippy a few times – but a bit of concealer allowed me to just about save the day and reapply. I'm just about beginning to understand how much I can go out of my thin male lip shape without it looking too unnatural. I still need a more defined edge to my lips though – will try a few lipliners – see what works.
When looking in the makeup mirror I applied blusher but couldn't see any result – until I moved to the big mirror in my room – and yes you've guessed it – totally overdone the blusher. More face powder to tone it down a bit.
Incidents whilst doing makeup!
1.Knocked my makeup mirror on the floor breaking the magnifying side.
2.Went to move my eyemakeup remover to discover that I hadn't put the lid back on properly last time I used it and spilled about ½ the contents on the table.
3.Burnt my tit on the clip-on spotlight that I was using to give me some extra light – TWICE.
End of part 1 – part 2 to follow – THE LINGERIE.
Then I got my undies sorted - I do a pretty manual job and my shins are forever covered in knocks and grazes – so I used a bit of makeup to hide the worst. Stockings (not forgetting the ankle chain – I've got two but could only find one!), Red waspie – do up the sussies. Red lace panties.
End of part 2 – part 3 to follow – DRESSED!
I'd decided to do a couple of clothed pictures first – so I used my red bra (which is a tad unglamorous – but when I bought it I didn't understand what 'full coverage' meant), and slipped in my 44C breast forms.
The only dress I have is size 20 and I'm a size 16/18 – but it looked reasonable when on – had great trouble tying up the belt round the back though! Will have to look around for something a bit sexier – and the right size!
I decided on my Ravel green round toe shoes with the double strap – they are SO comfortable. They also have a nice little matching bag.
My wife also left me with 2 wigs – one a really old fashioned pageboy and the shorter – slightly more modern one in the photos.
A bronze coloured torque necklace, a couple of bracelets and a pair of 80's retro big red earrings and I'm ready for some photos.
I don't have a full length mirror so until I see the first photograph I've got no idea of the full effect.
I only have a tabletop tripod and it took me some time to get the framing right – lots of heads/feet chopped off.
The first few pictures were of me standing square on and I looked like a gorilla – I then realised that some 'poses' looked much nicer.
The first shock is – god I don't half look like my mum (gone now bless her).
I think the results are not bad for a first attempt – I think most of my makeup had melted by this time though!
End of part 3 – part 4 to follow – NAUGHTY!
I then realised that I'd forgotten my nails so spent a while putting them on (why do they always not stick well enough and then stick TOO well).
Whilst taking my dress off my earrings had come off with it.
Could I get a new pair of earrings on with nails attached – I could not – after I gave up on the earrings I put one down somewhere and haven't seen it since – it'll turn up I suppose.
I then decided to try something a touch more naughty on – I'd just bought a teensy-weensy red mini skirt.
I took my bra off and put on my red single strap ****-me shoes – this too was fun with nails attached – but I got there in the end.
I also changed my necklace and one of the bracelets.
Then I tried a couple of poses and toys. And took some photos.
I was exhausted by this time – I had intended to record some move with my little webcam thingy but it'll have to wait til next time.
So had a relax.
I had enjoyed it all but found it a bit tiring – I'm sure it'll all come as second nature soon.
