View Full Version : Alternative wardrobe explorations

Nowadays, too many words are used to describe something, perhaps in an effort to make something disturbing sound more benign, and thus non-threatening, for whatever reason. Case in point: shellshock has become Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; the dump has become the “sanitary landfill,” and poor students are now “minimally exceptional.” In this vein, I wish to rename crossdressing as “alternative wardrobe explorations.” Of course, you may be engaged in alternative sexual explorations involving your alternative wardrobe explorations, or you may simply be trying to seek and embrace pleasure, all in the name of assuagement, exhilaration, and gender reconciliation. Let’s begin our abnormous expedition into the interior – we cannot devenustate ourselves any longer...

OK, we’re approaching the closet, a.k.a. the containment vessel for feminine metamorphosis, the repository of fetishes big and small, and everything in-between. Our transformation may now officially commence. You are a transformist, right? I thought so. We seek to shed our corporeal physicality, and move towards a heightened state that may reveal the transhumanist in us all. Frankly, my corporeity is quite literally a drag. We begin by decorticating the drab wrappers and creating a blank canvas. I assume you have completed your ablutions? Good. Grab a pair of drawers from one of the drawers. I mean a skin-tight, form-fitting, roseate microfiber undergarment, meant to constrictively contain one’s trochlear drupelets. Once you wiggle into this worshipful lingerie, the cerebripetal feelings will cause great euphoria – that’s a given. Next we put on an equally delicious peritoneum, replete with prosthetic mammilla of some sort, designed to make up for any curvilinear shortcomings. Don’t be shy, now. Our illusory manipulations cannot be meretricious or exaggerative, yet figuration is our ultimate goal – we need to look credible, once we are enshrouded in our superimposed feminine overlays...

Time to put on our hosiery, fabricated from synthetic materials, consummately elastic. Don’t be too transilient – it takes time to transform with style. Are you feeling hugged all over, making you a bit testy? Personally, I like the feeling of compression, since the cerebrifugal happenings reinforce the moment, driving away any lingering thoughts of injurous deviancy. Masculinity drains away, like an antediluvian watershed, revealing the genuine, undeniable me (or you). Slip on some decorous pedial coverings to become ambulatory once again – if you have created a new, higher platform you may need to check your balance, once your tootsies are ensconced, that is. The outer-garments may now go on, after a quick narcissistic look in the ever-present reflecting pool nearby. What to wear? I can accurately be termed an off-the-rack sensualist, or even an anti-pants curvaceous activist, hedonistically speaking, challenging the accepted status quo. There are many outfits, uniforms, costumes, and adornments to choose from. I could clothe myself with a pannier, a petticoat, a tutu, a frock, a kilt, or a muumuu, but I become what I don simply by close association. If a skirt swings or swishes, and it should, we can aptly be called effeminate airflow specialists - or maybe a dress could be a controlled whether system (whether or not you wear the desired garment, of course). Groan, grunt, and grumble. The spin cycle is optional – let’s not get too dizzy, or giddy, or disconcerted, since there’s more to come...

To finish off, it’s time for facial concealment. My cosmetic reconstructions beautify the personal landscape, all the while resembling cosmography, since I’m creating my own femme universe. My face gets a toned ground, appropriate to the desired motif, and any underpainting helps to create form and delicacy by revealing positive attributes. Careful with the imprimatura! Layer after layer of rendering obscures anything remotely tangible, yet a new, surrealistic visage is created miraculously. Some subtle outlining adds definition, and, finally, rouge-colored pomade is brushed onto the twin labrum. I prefer crimson, either alizarin or quinacridone. My countenance is like an expressionist painting – it never comes out as I had planned, yet I do like what I see, since I am a conceptual work of art. I cover my head with an artificial auburn piruke, very transformative by design, and I become aware of my unmistakable transvestism. Hold the simulated follicles in place with an elaborate fibula or two, please. A pair of dangling ornamental ear pendants adds to the vision I have just created, plus any other accessories that may enhance my physically effeminate characteristics. Of course, a layer or two of blush-stained varnish was applied to each digital appendage long before I began this whole metamorphic affair – trust me. Thus adorned according to my wishes, the deliberately delicate world I have dressed for awaits me, just outside the nearby portal...

See, we’ve successfully denuded the associative queerness from our inexplicable transgendered re-imaginings simply by cloaking the proceedings in contradistinct and/or unperceived words – I think it’s safe to say that “they” can’t touch us now, at least in terms of alternative terms. This may be double-speak, but it speaks to me, and you, and it keeps the real world at bay, precisely where it belongs. Since crossdressing resists explanation, or justification (amongst outsiders), why not crank it up a degree and REALLY make it hard to understand? You’ll be doing yourself a courtesy, trust me – discomfiture is good for others, but not for us...

That being said, I may as well end it here. Well, not “end” - I hereby terminate the proceedings. Hopefully, I haven’t been too pedantical with my discursive redundancies. Keep in mind that my lexicon is under construction, and any unrestrained verbosity on my part is meant purely for the purposes of entertainment or distraction. Did you know there’s something called “wordhoard?” I am an effeminate wordhoarder – oops, that last word was too much for my word processor...
:eek:

BTW, crossdressing is FUN – not to crossdress would be deleterious in the extreme, n’est ce pas? :battingeyelashes:

For a moment there I thought I was on one of those exploration rides at Epcot - except I didn't have to stand in line. I found the experience quite enjoyable and am thinking of going back again.

I am truly impressed with your superlative epistle upon this "messagetorium electronica" and it is the acme of interchanging the mundane lexical elements with fungible terms that offer enlightenment and obfuscation concurrently

Would it be possible for some of the members of this forum to learn to write in plain english? And to say things in as few words aspossible? The OP in this thread is way too long for what it has to say! Not a bad subject, just too wordy!!

Perhaps you realize this, but your "alternate wardrobe explorations" creates a great acronym, AWE. From now on I'm going to refer to CDing as being in AWE! Sometimes I am in awe when I see that transformed self in the mirror.
Love, Sabrina

Excellent write and great read....as always......you make me sick with your hold of the English language, unless you have that Thesaurus in front of you when you are typing it. Great!!!!

The OP in this thread is way too long for what it has to say! Not a bad subject, just too wordy!!Yeah, let's all aim for the lowest common denominator! Dammit, dumb it down, people! ;-)

You know, not all of us consider brevity a slam-dunk virtue. And one thing about it, if a post is too "long" for you, all you have to do is stop reading it and move on to something else. Wouldn't that be nicer than your knee-jerk reaction?

There, I made my point in one 15-second sound bite -- and only one word with more than three syllables!

PS -- Frederique usually writes at some length, but in this post, I think she was intentionally playing with language -- in other words, that was sort of the point.

Frederique, as an affectionado of long, meaningful, insightful posts which are written in excellent, perfectly-spelled, if affected English, I congratulate you on this post.

:love: :hugs: :thumbsup:

Those who cannot/will not appreciate it are missing out! Their's is the unfortunate loss.

…you make me sick with your hold of the English language, unless you have that Thesaurus in front of you when you are typing it.

I have a Thesaurus at my fingertips, online, but most of the strange words come from my big dictionary, circa 1974. My “hold” on the English language depends on whether or not I can wield this impressively heavy tome from room to room. The usual topics are discussed endlessly here, so I went looking for other (lengthy) ways to say the same thing, as in “I love wearing panties.”

Frederique usually writes at some length, but in this post, I think she was intentionally playing with language -- in other words, that was sort of the point.

My motto is: “Why write three words when you can write three (or more) paragraphs?” Yes, my wordplay was intentional, for purposes of entertainment, which was stated in the last paragraph (if you can get that far). Wordplay for fun is not for everyone, I’m afraid, but that’s OK…

I was unable to find a spot for a really cool word: altitudinarian, which means “aspiring to great heights,” a perfect description for crossdressing, especially if you worship high heels…


Perhaps you realize this, but your "alternate wardrobe explorations" creates a great acronym, AWE.

Fabulous! I never even gave it a thought…:heehee:

Wonderfully verbose yet not pedantic!

I love your posts Frederique! :love:

Ironically, what she described already happened, when they started pushing for "transvestite/transvestism" to be replaced "crossdresser/crossdressing" because it was deemed less offensive.

You stepped in WHAT? :)

So, if we imagine there were no hypothetical situations,
and,

If Shakespeare says: "Prose before hos."
and

Life is like an analogy...
and,

If I feel much more like myself now, than I did a little while ago...
and,

If I think, therefore I am..
Am I just a thought?

Ok, in retrospect, after reading your post,
I think I understand and agree with the light it has shined on my wall...

I suppose "supercalafragalisticexpialadocious" wasn't such a great "safe word" afterall.

Alrighty then, we have done our part in reinforcing the importance of clarity in communication, and the rewards that follow...
