    Crossdressing is more enjoyable with a supportive spouse.

    Always purchase good bras. Back aches are a pain.

    If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

    Dress age appropriately. This does not mean that you can't dress sexy or wear younger fashions. It just means that if you're gonna do it, do with style and class.

    Don't fret to much and Have fun!
    We all worry about being read, being humiliated and or embarrassed, be recognized and a host of others. But the truth is no really cares I have been out to lots of different venues and seldom have had a problem. If there is a problem just leave.

    look both ways before crossing the street. Get plenty of rest. Don't eat things you don't where they have been.

    Live for today, tomorrow may never come. Be yourself. Enjoy life there are no re-rides. Above all do no harm.

    This is all such great advice. I just wish I could have heard all of this 30 years ago.

    While we may all love the way Victoria's Secret or runway models look in their clothes always remember to be yourself.
    Dress according to how you feel, not by the images presented in magazines and television. It will make everything more natural for you and make you more confident being who you are.

    Have to disagree here -- get out and try new things! This may include eating bugs from street vendors in Beijing... Goodness only knows where that thing came from! :-) (Ok, so I only had one real goal being in China...)

    But seriously, if you're out en femme, make sure you're eating safe. There is nothing so unlady-like as ralphing in a gutter on a back alley. Watch Kitchen Nightmares if you believe restaurants are safe.

    See be the girl. Feel the girl. Be the girl.

    1. See her. -- Visualize the look and attitude you want, make it fit who you are as opposed to trying to fit yourself to a mold that isn't you.

    2. Feel her -- Allow yourself those emotions. Let yourself be feminine if that is how you feel. Don't run from it or be ashamed of it. If it's who you are, its who you are. Enjoy it.

    3. Be her -- When you accomplish #1 and #2...you are locked it...Don't repress it...even behind closed doors...Let yourself be....You'll find the confidence you need to step forward.

    Get yourself an air brush make up kit, they have concealers that go on very shear and will cover your beard.

    My advice to newbies: don't do things the way I did.

    Always wear a slip under an unlined dress or skirt. Don't wear pants!

    Nice thread. My advice is simple--less is definitely more.

    I totally agree.

    Think - it took you how long to arrive at this point you've finally reached? Years maybe? You cannot then expect a spouse/SO, or anyone close to you, to get to the same point overnight! You have to give them time, a lot of information and probably space to process what you're telling them.

    Take care of your skin, all of it, not just on your face. Sunscreen is cheap, repairing damaged skin is not!

    My advice would be to wear your purse over the shoulder with the straps. If it's a small purse, hold it to your side just under your lower rib. Definatley don't hold long handle pocketbooks by the straps where it 's barely off the ground

    Love my heels! It came easy for me. I started with 3 inch, but I am hoping to steal my bff's 4 inch boots. Practice, practice, practice.

    Guilty as charged. But I have no one to answer to in my life at the moment, so I am taking advantage for now.

    Okay, I think I might have one or two to add....

    If you buy something that is waterproof make sure that you have the 'thing' that takes it off.

    Nail polish - nail polish remover.
    Glue on nails - glue on nail remover.
    Waterproof masquare - waterproof remover...
    Stick on forms - goobegone... works great...

    Oh, and always clean up the bathroom...

    Renne.....

    Never, ever buy anything without trying it on first. (except underwear)
    Your shape is different, and the size numbers don't tell the whole story anyway.
    Major benefits:
    1) You won't have to throw it out because it doesn't fit.
    2) It's fun to try on clothes!
    3) It's fun to ask the salesladies for opinions & assistance!
