My 1st Time coming out to a friend

[Yolanda_Voils]

I've told strangers about my CD'ing, usually in another town but I came out to a close friend last week..

It's a ex/gf who is married and her hubby knows and approves of our talking.

Anyway we were doing the IM thing and I told her to check her e-mail as I had just sent her a pic of myself.

She came back with a WHAT?

Calmly I told her that me and my g/f liked to dress up and have fun..
"Knowing Me" she accepted it readily and the only question she had was;
"Where do you get those beautiful dresses ? "

I felt good knowing that someone did not judge me harshly for my actions, true friends are very rare..

you look great in your dresses . I wish I could come out to someone I live in a small town where ther is a lot of gossip

[Danni Renee]

I am very happy for you. You go girl!

[PretzelGirl]

It is great that you can come out to a good friend. I wish all could do that as they please. It does bring on a more comfortable feeling not having it totally bottled up with those close to you. I wish you continued luck as I am sure there are more discussions for you to on this.

GORGEOUS! I'm glad you have friends like that. I've had only one (of two who know) whom I could REALLY open up to. I guess it only takes one though. Oh Yeah, where DO you get those lovely dresses?

[Yolanda_Voils]

Oh Yeah, where DO you get those lovely dresses?

The B&W Print came from "The Crate" for about $8-10.00

The Cheetah Jacket came from Wal-Mart "on-line" for about $25

The shoes from "The Shoe Show" for $10.00

The Pink Dress from a 2nd hand store for some pittance,, I don't remember.

The Longline Bra from another consignment store for about $1.00

The Red Wig from www.buycostumes.com for about $18.00

Hi
the pink dress is so so loverly. So on to the question of could i come out to friends is a big NO
having talked to my friends male/femaleon the out side of TV's/CD's and even men who shave their chest etc for other reason's than us girls,
it is not good listining. As i have to bit my lip and say nothing.

But on a happy note i am so glad it has worked for you.

Happiness radiates on your face... and makes your look complete... great, I am so happy for you.

Is there a shopping trip with your ex g/f in your future if she likes your style of dress so much? ;)

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

Yolanda great step sis, i have yet to do that but am joining a support group to get counselling and hopefully the nerve to come "out" as a crossdresser to my wife and family.
again well done!

Get your enfemme stuff packed up, go to another town, rent a cheap motel and dress up..
Then out yourself to a gg that you think may be friendly, you may do this "endrabbe" first though.
Basically, get out of town,, I Do !

This look was very very HARD to pull off, using the a/v cable from my camera to the TV is the only way I did.

Possibly, she would be agreeable with the idea I'm sure.
One problem might arise if she wanted me to model them for her though:)

For me to come out to family, is out of the question.. The ex-fiance was easy to come out to as she was as kinky as me :D

I certainly appreciate all the nice comments, though you need to understand the process of the resulting pictures.

About 300-400 shots were taken to arrive at the 24 or so acceptable & "semi-acceptable" photos, and I'm an old shutterbug with much experience.. Also I've become rather good at makeup since some of the first ones that I posted, you'll notice facial shine on my Blonde pics and too much eye makeup on some others.

When I put on eye makeup now, I remove the majority of eye shadow to make the "blending" look more natural.

When my ex-fiance put my makeup on,, man what a disaster, my skin tone is vastly different, what worked for her was a Ghoul on me...

My ex/gf in this thread, has enjoyed my pics and has had more than one smile when talking about them.

I just hope she don't ever show the gorilla of a husband them, j/k ;)
