Not really to do with cross dressing..

[Carly D.]

I was at my nieces graduation a couple weeks ago and her cousin was there and had graduated the day before.. anyway she (her cousin) is going into cosmotollogy and had dyed her hair black and everyone was making comments about her hair and my brother said get used to this her hair will change colors daily possibly.. I wanted to tell her to enjoy being able to change the way you look, you're young.. and as they say when you are young you can do "stupid" things.. what do they say when we get older and start experimenting with our looks, as in dressing differently than we are supposed to?? to the young on this forum (early twenties and younger) I say do what you want and dress the way you want.. enjoy the different clothing and hair colors and all that.. I don't think I would have done a hair coloring when I was that young but would have loved to try it.. I just never had the nerve to do that as shown by my inability to try to go to public places dressed up as Carly.. anyway, just an observation..

What do they say? They say we're having a 'mid life crisis'. A couple years ago, I tossed much of my casual wardrobe and started wearing suits and dress clothes much more often, then I bought a sports car, and started going to the barber every month. Wow, the remarks.

I didn't think of that midlife crisis thing.. I wonder if that might be an excuse they would come up with for me if I came out.. truth is I've been this way since before I knew anything about squat.. I think on my entry that I wanted to let people who are young know is to just do it.. just have fun.. dress the way you want and act the way you want and.. just try different things.. try to be a girl or partially dress as a girl.. or since it is summer try the less is more approach and not wear anything.. good idea Carly, get everyone thrown in jail...

I've been using the mid-life crisis line lately too.

When I was younger from my early 20s to early 30s, I had long hair which I often kept in a pony tail. Then in my early 30s, I decided that I needed to look more "corporate" so I finally cut my hair. In the past year, I've let my hair grow out again. When people at work ask about it, I tell them how I had it long when I was a reckless youth. Today, it's just a mid-life crisis. It always gets a good laugh.

To once again quote my favorite existentialist philosopher, Popeye the Sailor, "You'se is only as old as ya feels young." Or something like that. Really, you're never too old to do whatever you want. It's a proven fact that as people get older they tend to be more individualistic and to express their uniqueness. Just drive by any highschool campus, bless their hearts, I love them, they are the future of this nation, but OMG, they all look the same.<lol>

Remember when it was flower power, disco, etc..... We were revolting against what???? It did start a major change in our society.

Love the young adults. They are just like us in so many ways. make all of the mistakes and grow up to know that there are no mistakes.
