Theres only one thing I dont like about going out dressed....

[PrettyFlowingGown]

As much as I love going ut as a lady either mainstream, or to the gay pub I go too, is preparing the make-up. It takes me a good hour to get everything right. I do admit, I love my make-up and looking beautiful, but I could'nt do it all the time/everyday...
I go out on average twice a month. I think its enough. other than that, i dress everyday at home.

There is a lot of work to being a woman. Some of us are just too lazy to be full-time.

[jenna_woods]

yes it does take time to get all fixed up to be a women, it takes me a good hour to get ready to go out, but I do it every time I go out and loveing it,

[docrobbysherry]

It only takes me 10 seconds to put on MY face!:)

But, I CAN'T go out that way!:sad:

There's 2 things that DO bother me about going out dressed! Torches and pitchforks!:doh:

[Karinsamatha]

It takes time, and effort to look good. And we have to work that much harder then a GG to be presentable. But it is so worth it :D.

[Gerrijerry]

since I started to do it every day I guess I get a lot more pratice lately. Takes me about 20 minutes it used to take me about 45 minutes.

[Danni Bear]

depending on where I'm going. I can be dressed and out the door in about 30 minutes.

lots and lots of practice, but then again i'm female now. don't have to put on everything anymore.

:hugs:

What I don't like about going out dressed is comming back in.

[Alice Torn]

Because it is so hard, and time consuming, is likely another reason so few GG's bother to dress up these days.

[Charla McBee]

I don't even do things correctly at all and it still takes an hour sometimes.

[Annaliese2010]

Oh I know and share your impatience regarding time spent on makeup and just dressing prettily. I have a greater appreciation and admiration for GG's and what they do throughout their entire lives to look as good as they always do.

[Persephone]

Like Gerri, I usually spend about 20-25 minutes on hair and makeup on a daily basis. Evening events can require another 10-15 minutes. I suspect that those figures are reasonably the same, maybe slightly above, the average GG doing her hair and makeup.

[MargaretJ]

It usually takes me an hour to do the make up, and it can be a real drag at times (no pun intended), but the results are always worth it.

[prene]

Depending on where and what I am doing it can take me one to two half hours.

Corset, breast forms, makeup, tucking and nails.

It is hard.

[Heather Zor-El]

OMG, when I was in my 20's it could easily take me over an hour, up to 1 1/2 hours, and I'm not sure the results warranted the time taken. I think I realized I'd finally really become a genuine woman inside and out a few years ago when a GG friend called and asked if I could be at her place in half an hour. I was transformed in twenty minutes, then ten minutes to her place by car, and we had a great afternoon being silly, casual girls just running all over the place.

That being said, I'd generally like more time. **smile**
