Dressing in Public

[Joanne_2003]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

3. What made you feel like going out?

4. How did you feel when you went out?

5. Will you do it again?

1. I went out on October 29th. My SO and I went shopping and I was made after a few hours of shopping. :D

2. I never imagined going out, nor did I even think about it in passing until about a year after I told my SO that I was a CD'er.

3. She said that she was OK with it if I wanted to go out and try to pass, I told her I didn't. After reading about all the gurls on this website going out I started to think about it. ;)

4. I felt really nervous at first but after I started shopping in the first store and no one paid any attention to me I felt really great! :)

5. Probably not, my SO told me a month after we went out she was embarrassed being with me in public when I was en femme. I enjoyed it and I am glad I did it but I wouldn't feel comfortable going out by myself. :eek:

[paulaN]

yes I have gone out always bye myself. I'd love to have someone to go out with. It was nerve racking but I loved it and will do it again asap.

[GypsyKaren]

Hi Joanne

I go out dressed as often as possible. The reason I do is because it feels so natural to me, I really feel like my true self at last. I've never had any problems, just a few giggles every now and then. Well, boo hoo, I could really care less. I always say that I pass to most of the people some of the time, some of the people most of the time. In other words I get by all right, but not to everyone. Teen-age girls are the hardest to get by, it's like they have a tranny radar or something.

My wife goes out with me a lot and she's not embarrassed, so I guess I don't stick out to bad, at least for an old broad. It's mostly about attitude, not looks. I go about my business like I belong wherever I am, with my head held high, and I smile at whoever looks my way. This lets anyone who has doubts about you know that you're not a threat to them. I think most of us get read because they look and act nervous, and they tend to slink when they walk. I feel that I am a woman, so I have no difficulty in projecting that out. Like I said, it's all about attitude.

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?

Yes. Most recently to an outlet mall on a Saturday evening and to a wig shop in broad daylight on a Saturday afternoon.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

I've wanted to go out for a long time -- only recently have I developed the comfortable and confidence to do it. The stories others have shared here helped me a lot.

3. What made you feel like going out?

I want to experience the world beyond my house en femme.

4. How did you feel when you went out?

Excited, anxious, thrilled, hesitant, feminine, being-on-the-edge, shy, confident, sly, sexy, curious if people were clocking me, surprised that people weren't staring at me, happy, glorious, and wonderful.

5. Will you do it again?

Absolutely.

[Denise01]

I went out fully femme for the first time last month with another TS that I know and her wife.
For the first little while I was nervous and i felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb. After a bit I finally realized no one was looking at me any different than any other lady or girl wearing a skirt, and often I got Ma'm in the stores.
I quickly found out that you had to take the initiative to be the person you really are, a Lady, and go about things with confidence like any other lady would. Ine big thing i found out too was to dress for the occasion, IE; wear a jean skirt if it fit in better with the surrounding environment.
It was a great feeling to be out fully dressed, and even better when looking for skirts or skirt suits, and being treated like a lady in stores like Layne Bryant, Dress Barn Heights etc

[JennyCD]

1. No. The rest is irrelevant. I am too much a coward.

[Marlena Dahlstrom]

I've been going out for about the past year. Basically, I got tired of being all dressed up with no place to go. Like a lot of other people I was quite nervous the first time, but quickly realized getting read isn't the end of the world. (In fact, people thought I'd been going out a lot longer than I had because I was so relaxed.) The other part is I've never felt partly guilty or shameful about my crossdressing, so getting read wasn't as bit a deal as it is for some other folks. (I'm a guy in dress -- deal with it...)

As Denise said, people usually have lot of other things on their mind that spotting the CD in the crowd. And more to the point, if you act like you deserve respect, my experience is you'll usually get it. So it's more about being presentable than passable. As GypsyKaren said, a confident smile works wonders.

I was going out a couple times a month, until I injured my knee and had to have surgery. When I'm fully recovered, I expect to be going out again. It's fun and I get to interact with people in different ways than as a guy.

[MsJanessa]

I've been out in public many times--to gay and TG bars as well as nightclubs and the occasional restaurant---also have gone to the local mall and TJ Maxx store a couple of time--I look pretty good when dressed although I'm a bit tall (5'11") but usually I pass---occasionally I get a funny look but the real point of all this is that it really doesn't matter whether you "pass" or not---as long as you are looking your best---in fact I would rather be "read" as a hot-looking beautiful TV then "pass" as an unactractive women. Think about it. Also I have never had a negative reaction or confrontation(although I do carry peppersray in My purse just in case) Also it helps that my home state(Maine) has just passed a gay rights bill which includes the right to be free from discrimination due to "gender expression".

[Laura Jane]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

3. What made you feel like going out?

4. How did you feel when you went out?

5. Will you do it again?

1. Outside, but not really in public or at least too public. I've been out for late night walks etc and around my local woods.

2. I had imagined it many times, nerve failed. Although I do a reasonable job dressing up, my basic shape lets me down, too much of a barrel chest!

3. Having the outfits, wig make up, shoes etc, the flat is just too small to walk around too much.

4. Wonderful and scared at the same time. The feeling of a breeze or wind on stocking clad legs, handbag swinging under your arm and walking in heels is great, practising a female walk.

5. Yes, have done several times, but the next step is somewhere more public and that really does scare me! I would only do it when I think I look more passable.

[Raychel]

I am with you JennyCD, I am way to chicken to ever try it.

[tifftg]

I am getting more comfortable with going out in public and doing what every other woman gets to do. As one of the others wrote, I focus on presentable and after that people treat me well, whether they know or not, (and I suspect most of them do) doesn't matter as long as I am treated with respect. Have always been so far.

[Katrina]

I am with you JennyCD, I am way to chicken to ever try it.

Raychel, you would be surprised. I never in a million years thought I would go out in public dressed. Never in a million years! Well, I guess that a million years HAVE passed...because I've done it and it feels great. The other girls are right, its addictive!

[Vanessa83]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?

Nope, never. :( I live in a small, VERY conservative town, my life would basically be over if anyone found out.

[SherriePall]

I've been out four times (all in broad daylight) now since late last year. Little bitty steps each time.
The first time I drove from the motel where I changed to a cosmetics store I had been frequenting so that the salesgirl could see me completely dolled up. I then drove to the hairdresser who sold me my second wig (which has drawn raves!). He said he couldn't place me even though it was only about a month since I bought the wig en drab.
The second time I changed in a store for a makeover, drove to the salon where I had a pedicure done and then back to the store to get changed.
The third time was from the motel (where the desk clerk girl couldn't get over the transformation) to the cosmetics store to two different shoe stores to try on shoes (I didn't buy -- can't hide the seven pairs I have now) and back to the motel.
Finally, this past Halloween drove from the motel (with a smile from the desk clerk girl as I was leaving) to over a half dozen different stores and one mall. One store I went to I returned a sweater I had bought to wear with a long denim skirt. It was too hot so I chose something else instead. After returning the sweater and buying two beautiful skirts, I went over to the young salesgirl who sold me the sweater and assisted me that day with the skirts (tried them on en femme -- a first for me) and asked if she recognized the sweater. She said yes she did and then asked, "Is that you?" I smiled and waved goodbye. Later she saw the professional photos I had taken that day too in a major department store's studio.
Can't wait to get dressed up and go out again!

[Sweet Susan]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme? I've been out so many times that I've lost count. The first time was about ten years ago. The last time was about a year ago.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out? Of course.

3. What made you feel like going out?
I had to get out there. It was more of a need than a desire. However after the first time it became compulsive, and of course I met people and wanted to see them again.

4. How did you feel when you went out? Great. It is an incredibly simultaneously relaxing and stressful experience. I love the feeling of air flowing up my dress and against my freshly shaved body.

5. Will you do it again?
Absolutely.

[Sam-antha]

Later, I will try answering the questions. For now I will say that Iwent in at the deep end, albeit in a city where I do not live. But one that I know very well. These two factors helped also, Iwas younger, it was in the very early seventies.

Timing : early evening, dusk.
Location : a small private hotel.
Enter : Samantha, dressed at the front door. Above the knee straight skirt, tightish (?) pulli, matching big beads, heels, bracelet, watch and a head held high.

Samantha moves out of the door, which closes behind her.
She walks across to the top of a dozen stepped stone staircase and descends. It is a helluva long way down in heels.

Sound of mad Heart Beats.

She looks round to see if anybody is near.
(What she would have done had there been anybody coming up the stairs or walking along the pavement below, she did not know). Nobody around and walks along the pavement, past a group of students and on down the hill, (which was steeper than remembered), and then into the main shopping street, (pedestrianised) where she mingled with the crowds of people all intent on their own business.
It was a big, big lift and I did not want to go back inside that hotel, but it was tiring, walking on a street in heels for the first time. ( Not the heels, on the street in heels, sily)

[Darlena]

Ladies! Going out in the open is one of the most envigorating and rewarding experiences a gurl can have. If I look good then I feel good. Why waste it all on an inanimate mirror when you should share it with the people out there. (plan your route & locale wisely of course w/ friends) I went out on the town one night and passed a sizeable group of young men waiting to get into a club. They made a fuss over me and I picked up my pace because I was so overwhelmed by the inordinate amount of attention given to me. Okay, I was scared. But as I walked past and away from the whistling & howls I experienced such a rush & high! I was on cloud nine the rest of the evening. Now, I am not a vainglorious little bitch mind you. But it was definitely a real boost to my self esteem. I can't quite describe the flush and glow I feel when that happens. But I think it's the pinnacle of the CD experience. Don't throw caution to the wind and go to cowboy bars or football games or the kind. There are gay bars. Movie theatres(dim lights can ease anxiety) Etc. Love & kisses, Darlena
.

[Abby Lauren]

By now, I have gone out quite a number of times but I especially remember my second time (first time was escorted by a makeover person and a photographer to a beauty salon to have a manicure- sort of doesn't count). It was after a makeover and I was feeling so femme and so empowered (and so diguised) that I felt I could conquer the world. I went clothes shopping (of course) to a whole bunch of stores and tried on all sorts of clothes and shoes and jewelry, bought some makeup and then drove an hour to meet a friend and went out to eat. What a wonderful day and night! At first, I was frightened but also exhilarated. Then, I was just sooo happy.
I never ever thought I'd be able to do that. I've come to the realization that this is and forever will be who I am and I am entitled to seek happiness in my life. And nobody should be able to deprive me of that- especially since what I do doesn't hurt anybody else.
And, of course, I will do it over again and again and again.

[Kimberly]

Teen-age girls are the hardest to get by, it's like they have a tranny radar or something.
You need a tranny-dar jamming device!! Hehe. xx

[Emily Ann Brown]

Yes I go out whenever the mood hits me , which is about every time I dress. I never thought about it at first, but then my sister Karren asked had I and it became like a dare almost. One time led to the others because it is such a rush to be out there doing what women do. It's something you can't understand until you do it.

Emily Ann

[sweet_maria]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme? Yes, once as a teenager.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out? Not really. It was the first time i ever considered going out en femme.

3. What made you feel like going out? I was dared to by one of my friends. As far as she knows though, it was a one off.

4. How did you feel when you went out? A bit strange but quickly loosened up

5. Will you do it again? Very probably if i can ever get myself to look like a proper girl.

[Christina Nicole]

I try not to dress in public. People stare. I get dressed before I go out.

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?
Yes! Way too many times to count.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?
I have always want to go out as a girl, since I was a little "girl." I was only, at first, able to indulge at halloween. Then there was a great long dry spell during high school and college years. Later, I wanted to do it again, but had to wait years longer until I found that there are people who will help a TG look passable.

3. What made you feel like going out?
Women go out. Having the wrong body does not make me a hermit. (Emphasis on hermit.) Who wants to be all dressed up and have no where to go?

4. How did you feel when you went out?
Great after the first few shaky times. If I can't be a woman, I'm at least happy portraying one as best as I can.

5. Will you do it again?
Will the sun come up tomorrow morning?:D

Warm regards
Christina Nicole

[Phoebe Reece]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?
Yes - many, many times.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?
I can't imagine not wanting to go out.

3. What made you feel like going out?
I get totally bored just dressing and staying in the house. One of the first times I ever dressed up was when I was about 4 years old. I put on an old dress of my grandmother's, stockings, high heels (way too big), and a floppy hat. After being in the house for awhile, I went out the door and marched down the sidewalk to the back of the house. Even then I just had to get out.

4. How did you feel when you went out?
Being out dressed is a thrilling experience. It's a similar feeling to when I'm rock climbing or riding my motorcycle. There's an element of danger present and a certain satisfaction of accomplishment when you're done.

5. Will you do it again?
Yes!

[Billie Renee]

well as for me I've been dressing all my life and going out in male mode makes me nervous.I've gone out dressed in femme all my life and that is when I am the most comfortable.

[erica12b]

i have never gone out dressed, im still closeted,, (some day)

[gwenrob43]

You bet. I finally got up the nerve about 5 or 6 weeks ago; put on a good pair of jeans, a nice blouse and sweater, 2" heels, and all the accessories and away I went. I bought some cosmetics and went to dinner at a restaurant that evening. I've been out several times since then; last time was to the Mall and I shoe shopped and went through the women's department at the local Penney's store. I like to have passed out when I walked down an aisle at the Rite Aid and a lady I had worked closely with for several years came around the corner about 3 feet away and face to face. She didn't realize who I was. ;)

Will I go again? You bet! Will I tell my SO? I can't say that will happen in the very near future, but it must happen. Shopping via the internet has been my salvation. I'm enlarging my wardrobe via computer shopping.:thumbsup:

Happy dressing,
Gwen

[Sam-antha]

Christina has the right idea.
My own contribution was an untruth. I had forgotten the first time which was in the same city...Glasgow... when I was a student. The event was the Charities Day, a standard multi-facet dressed up event. Somewhere I have the photo proof and I will post it with the story when I find it.
However, considering the question, although I was i full fig, I cannot really count this as a proper first en femme. I had a Charity Collecting Can to prove I was dresed.
That year, was the year of the slogan concerning the need to have a greater amount of cash in the collecting cans for the charities. The family name used in the slogans was "Tupp".
Slogan 1 Mountie Tupp He was a Mountie
Slogan 2 Filli Tupp This one had a thirst and an empty glass
Slogan 3 Spewi Tupp He had too much to drink
There were about a dozen other relatives whose names I cannot remember.
Oh Mucki Tupp and Coveri tupp were respectively cat and dog.

[Lacamas]

Always

>3. What made you feel like going out?
got tired of staying in the house.

>4. How did you feel when you went out?
Wonderfull just like walking on air

>5. Will you do it again?
Yep and will not stop

[TV_Allie]

Yes, indeed. I love being out en femme. It's just so boring to be all dressed up with no where to go. I'll go out when ever I can. I'm hoping to go out shopping with my SO one day. She needs to build up her courage. Of course I've been read. Oh well. Goes with the territory.

[Lilith Moon]

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

3. What made you feel like going out?

4. How did you feel when you went out?

5. Will you do it again?

1. Quite regularly in the past. Rarely now. To be honest...life is pretty bleak for me right now:mad:

2. In the early days just getting dressed in private was enough. But after the first few nerve wracking public outings I always needed more.

3. I needed to present to others as female. Sometimes I got read sometimes I passed.

4. I felt like I was in paradise.

5. If I ever get the chance :(

[Sam-antha]

1 : Have you gone out in public, dressed ?
Yess Yeees Yipee Read about the first real occassion above somewhere. I want to go out again and be someone else.....clothes do make the person you know.

2. Did you ever imagine that you would have wanted to ?
No I didn't imagine wanting to. I always ?) imagined doing it, and still do just that. I knew I could, would and later I did and still do.

3. What made you feel you wanted to go out ?
It is too much of the mirror thing in the house.. Boring, unexciting too, not that I just go out for the rush. I just want to. Besides all the other girls and women that I see on the pavement go out. Its the normal thing for the female.

4 : Will you do it again ?
Daft question for me at least. Of course I will "do it again". It is one of the wonderful things about living. Having a double life, or more, depending on the clothes style.

[Tootsye]

Hi Joanne,
I go out frequently. I go just about anywhere that I choose to go. My measurement is "Would my wife go to a place alone"? If she would go there, then I will go there! I travel enfemme, both in my motorhome and by air. I have never had a problem. On several occasions I have taken trips with the longest being sixteen days and the others somewhat less, with out taking any male clothes at all!
Like Gypsy K. I do it because it feels so natural! I am comfortable in my femme persona and am much more peaceful!
Hugs,
Tootsye

[Foxy Lady]

I have never gone out copletely en femme. Recently I have gone out in women's jeans, top and flats and nobody noticed.

[cosmolovesph]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?

Yes several times

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

Not sure how to answer that, guess it (confidence started with PH & shorts) but you can only stay at home for so long.

3. What made you feel like going out?

See #2 ;)

4. How did you feel when you went out?

Great, a little apprehensive (of course, that's natural) but very fun to do something different and enjoying yourself and the breeze on your nylong covered legs is like nothing else and the clicking of your heels on the pavement surfaces is heaven ;)

5. Will you do it again?

Of course!!

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

3. What made you feel like going out?

4. How did you feel when you went out?

5. Will you do it again?
Yes. It was around Spring in the early 1990's and I went to a park that had a large lake within. I was dressed in a mint green skirt suit, white blouse and white 2" heels with skin coloured pantyhose. I did not have a wig or makeup on, so I had to be careful avoiding people. In hindsight, I guess a skirtsuit in a park wasn't the appropriate kind of clothing was it?

Always wanted to since my earliest days of crossdressing. Just had to wait until I had decent clothes, a place to go and the will to actually do it.

I had been doing short walks at night in the streets around my home whilst dressed. The desire to do it in daylight in a public area became very strong as I gained more confidence.

Very nervous! Once I was away from the car, I walked around the perimeter of the lake and it felt like such a relief to be enfemme in public in daylight. I just wish I'd had a wig and makeup that day!

Oh yes, most definately! More so as I refine my look and attain more self confidence in the future.

[maxinediva]

i am stuck in a world were i dress as a girl and can't do nothing about it... i'm taking care of family in a red neck town so every time i go to a big city to change into a girl i cant go full bore (plucked eyebrows, whatever) since everybody at home knows me as a boy, not a girl, and i have to return home... in a big city, as a girl, i feel natural... not scared to put on a skirt or a dress, and people don't make rude comments... if i didn't have to take care of my family, i'd probably go full bore, full time, as a woman

[cyndyw]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?
3 times at Halloween - every time in a short dress with high heels, pantyhose and a slip and panties underneath.
1. to a party with my wife.
2. to a local bar- restaurant
3. to a large party where crossdressing was encouraged.
2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?
Yes I would like to go out more often dressed as a women.
3. What made you feel like going out?
The thrill of being in high heels, a short dress and make-up and showing off my feminine side.
4. How did you feel when you went out?
It felt sexy showing off my legs in pantyhose and high heels and wearing a dress with lingerie underneath
5. Will you do it again?
I really want to go to a salon which dresses men up so they can pass as a sexy women and be taken out on the town - especilly a place like Las Vegas.

[trisha_anne]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?
Just did last night.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?
I had always dreamed of it. Just had to get to courage.

3. What made you feel like going out?
I looked in the mirror and I looked the best that I had ever looked and was overflowing with confidence and I just went for it.

4. How did you feel when you went out?
I felt the most feminine and confident that I had ever felt. It was a high that I am still coming down from. I would recomend a public appearance to any one, just a wonderful feeling. I basically felt more like me then I have ever felt.

5. Will you do it again?
You can count on it!;)

[Angela Burke]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?
I spent a lot of the time as a girl when I was a child up to my late teens as my Mother was ok with my crossdressing and I could pass easily.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?
It was inevitable.

3. What made you feel like going out?
Initially my love of pretty dresses and panties, then the fantastic female fashions of the sixties.

4. How did you feel when you went out?
I loved the attention I got from female relatives, I was a proper little madam and I'd perform at the drop of a hat.

5. Will you do it again?
My going out dressed has tailed off with the passing years, but I still go out very occasionally and very carefully. I'm at the stage now when I can look like a smartly dressed middle-aged woman, but I am very selective about it.
I don't fancy having to face down some yob whilst wearing a skirt and high heels!

Love Angela XX

[Diann]

I've been out four times (all in broad daylight) now since late last year. Little bitty steps each time.
The first time I drove from the motel where I changed to a cosmetics store I had been frequenting so that the salesgirl could see me completely dolled up. I then drove to the hairdresser who sold me my second wig (which has drawn raves!). He said he couldn't place me even though it was only about a month since I bought the wig en drab.
The second time I changed in a store for a makeover, drove to the salon where I had a pedicure done and then back to the store to get changed.
The third time was from the motel (where the desk clerk girl couldn't get over the transformation) to the cosmetics store to two different shoe stores to try on shoes (I didn't buy -- can't hide the seven pairs I have now) and back to the motel.
Finally, this past Halloween drove from the motel (with a smile from the desk clerk girl as I was leaving) to over a half dozen different stores and one mall. One store I went to I returned a sweater I had bought to wear with a long denim skirt. It was too hot so I chose something else instead. After returning the sweater and buying two beautiful skirts, I went over to the young salesgirl who sold me the sweater and assisted me that day with the skirts (tried them on en femme -- a first for me) and asked if she recognized the sweater. She said yes she did and then asked, "Is that you?" I smiled and waved goodbye. Later she saw the professional photos I had taken that day too in a major department store's studio.
Can't wait to get dressed up and go out again!

If your that good where is some pics I know I can't pass in daylite we all love to see each other dressed its such great Encouragement for us to try better.

[jamie_44]

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. I wanted to be out in the world as a lady.

4. Fantastic, exhilarating, so excited.

5. Definite yes, I have only been out shopping during the day, I want to go to a TG friendly club at night, but I am to chicken to go by myself.

[MsJanessa]

I've been going out to gay and trannie bars for years(I just love the attention I guess) but lately I've been going out to malls and stores shopping---what amazes Me is the lack of attention and degree of acceptance--very few stares no pointing, no confrontation---the biggest thrill was going to TJ Maxx--a dept store at a local shopping center---buying a top and having the sales clerk ask for My phone number--catalogue purposes--in My best femme voice I gave it to her while standing at the head of a line of women in the checkout section---no one even blinked---incidently I'm 5'11'', slim but still tall even taller in the heels I was wearing. Janessa:dom:

[JoAnnDallas]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?
Yes, after reading about others here on this forum, I finially decided to
go out myself. At first I was so scared that I am sure my heartrate was
150 BPM. Once I noticed that no one was pointing at me or paying any
attention to me , I started to relax and enjoy the experience.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?
Yes, but until recently, I never dreamed I have the guts to do it.

3. What made you feel like going out?
After reading about other Gurl's outing, I decieded that I
too could go out.

4. How did you feel when you went out?
Totally scared at first, but after about a hour I noticed that
no one was paying any attention or pointing at me and I started to
relax. After a while, I just became myself and enjoyed it.

5. Will you do it again?
YES, the problem is wife is on disablity and is no longer
working full time, so can not get dressed up like I did.

[TGMarla]

1. Have you gone out in public en femme?

No, not in public. I'm probably going to do it, though. I just don't know when. I may try the local support group, or something like that.

2. Did you ever imagine you would have wanted to go out?

Yes, I've always imagined it. I've just never done it. My home situation is such that I don't know who's going to be home when I get home. It just wouldn't do to pop in on one of them all dressed up.

3. What made you feel like going out?

Isn't it natural to want to do so?

The other questions aren't applicable to me....yet.

1. Yes, about two weeks ago I got dressed and went out shopping at Fashion Bug with my wife. I'm sure I was made, but I did not care.

2. Yes all the time just did'nt have the guts.

3. I was all dressed up and suggested to my wife that we go shopping. She agreed and off we went.

4. I felt great and a little nervous at the sametime, but I really enjoyed it.

5. Yes, actually I suggested we go out and get our nails and a pedicure together. My wife agreed, although we have not set a date. I am so looking forward to that.

Over the years Ive dressed but only gone out on halloween. About a month ago I bought my first wig and now Ive been thinking of trying makeup. I would of never thought I would of done that or to even think about going out dressed. Lately I been going out wearing a few women things with my normal male clothes. I see myself eventually going out fully dressed in the new year.

4. How did you feel when you went out?

5. Will you do it again?

1. I went out on October 29th. My SO and I went shopping and I was made after a few hours of shopping.

2. I never imagined going out, nor did I even think about it in passing until about a year after I told my SO that I was a CD'er.

3. She said that she was OK with it if I wanted to go out and try to pass, I told her I didn't. After reading about all the gurls on this website going out I started to think about it.

4. I felt really nervous at first but after I started shopping in the first store and no one paid any attention to me I felt really great!

5. Probably not, my SO told me a month after we went out she was embarrassed being with me in public when I was en femme. I enjoyed it and I am glad I did it but I wouldn't feel comfortable going out by myself.

1. I have been out in public en femme roughly 5 times with my wife, although two of those times, I was only in the car getting take-out with my SO (with her ordering) so I don't know if they count. Our major excursion was spending an afternoon out at the mall. We have also made quick trips to the local store and to a local Chinese take-out restaurant.:)

2. I have always wanted to try it and my wife decided that she wanted to try it too.:)

3. I wanted to try it because it seemed like a daring (and fun) thing to do.:p

4. During our mall excursion, I felt a little anxious as might be expected (especially when my wife and I got temporarily separated) but after awhile I became pretty oblivious to everybody and started having a good time. My wife actually thought that I seemed a lot less anxious than she was for most of the excursion.:)

5. I would LOVE to be able to go out en femme again, although my wife is not sure when (or if) she will be ready to go out with me in public enfemme again and neither she nor I is fully comfortable with me going out by myself but I HOPE that someday I am able to again. :thumbsup:

Yes again, today I went out to the big city, by train no less. Mind I am careful which train and which carriage I climb into when I leave this station. Do not want someone from this wee place to sit next to me do I ?
Got myself a new skirt, slim fitting and red. Love red..Want Julie's shoes.
