Heathrs meanderings all in one thread!!

[heathr1]

I haven't dressed for a few months now, but while out last night I saw a woman wearing one of my favourites.....

A leather mini skirt.

Suddenly I feel the need to dress again.

Funny how seeing someone wear a particular item can start it all off again!

[TGMarla]

Yeah, I'm tempted to dress again...later today in fact. I go through these same feelings four or five times a week.

[heathr1]

Do you ever do this?

I told a friend yesterday I liked the look of her glittery lipstick.

[heathr1]

Ever had one.

How sympathetic were the saleswomen?

[Kiva]

I compliment my wife's makeup all the time. She is really pretty, and knows how to not over-do.

Do you ever do this?

I told a friend yesterday I liked the look of her glittery lipstick.

And what was her response?

[erica12b]

i half to hold my tounge most of the time ,when you say somthing like that some times they give you the strangest looks (real slow and wide eyed )they say thank you and then just keep on looking at you , (can kinda creap you out)lol

[JennyCD]

I compliment women's hair, makeup, nails, clothing all the time. The just consider me "sweet".

[Wendy me]

i say things abought how gg's look all the time , just you need to be like carfull as not to make them feel like your hitting on them or stalking them...

[DanaJ]

heathr - what happened to your Avon lady friend? The last we heard several weeks ago you two were getting togther so she could make you up....

[heathr1]

just as friends, but she is not well at present and is busy.

[heathr1]

I, as you know have complemented women on hair and make-up and clothes, but feel boots are a touchy subject.

How do you compliment a woman on certain items, or talk about them without sounding kinky?

[Reana]

Just for the information of the US CDs, relating to makeovers involving dept. stores, I have talked to several girls that work at the makeup counters of Dillards stores here in Texas. All have expressed a willingness to do a CD makeover in the stores. Additionally, most will know of someone in the area that will do a home makeover for CDs. No one should be too bashful about talking with these girls. Their job is to sell cosmetics, not judge their customers. One interesting note: They tell me that makeovers really pick up during the Halloween time of the year. Wonder why that is? LOL Reana :angel:

[Katrina]

I think it depends on how you say it. If you say it very casually like "Your boots are cute", then it will probably come off as a compliment. If you say it like "I Looooove your boots....mmmmmm", you will probably come of as some sort of perv. That said, when I hit the bank yesterday, the teller girl had the cutest shoes and I amost complimented her on them, but I thought she might think I was weird.

[heathr1]

Why do I not find women's shorts, trousers and jeans sexy, but I do skirts?

[Reana]

Let the person draw whatever conclusion they chose. A compliment is a compliment. I can't imagine anyone would take a positive comment on any aspect of their appearance as a negative. I sometimes am so (secretly) critical of other's appearances that I just can't wait to compliment someone on something I sincerely feel is attractive on them. Assuming the worst, that being that the person think the comment is a little unexpected or slightly weird, it might just help them get through an otherwise boring day. Reana :)

[Wenda]

I have often complimented women on their footwear, sometimes just something simple like, Great Boots! Never had a negative reaction. Sometimes they seem pleasantly surprised that a guy noticed their footwear.

[Wenda]

Who knows, could be impressions you have carried with you for years, maybe because men can wear jeans, shorts, etc , but not skirts, maybe because some skirts are just soo sexy. Just enjoy skirts.

[shellyrichardsoninsc]

i love wearing skirts/dresses. i also like wearing jeans. notice the difference. most of the time i wear a skirt or a dress. i will wear jeans to the mall on occasion. but for the most part, i wear skirts and dresses. when i wear jeans, i do however wear only heels.

[Imogen_Mann]

I agree that compliments are often accepted well, especially if the boots are pretty damn cool, or very expensive, Not just boots.. I recently found a girl at work wearing Flamed Chuck's (Converse All Stars), I had to say something ! Shewas dead pleased that someone noticed them. Next day, she was wearing Duffs... and I noticed them too, I complimented her again, and now we chat about all sorts of stuff as we pass in the corridor.

If I was 15 years younger... !!

I must warn against publicly offering to lick the boots in question... It just get's you talked about.

[heathr1]

I find it more of a rush when GGs joke about me wearing their clothes and make-up just in conversation than actually dressing myself.

Do you enjoy the teasing?

[Nikki Dee]

Dunno love....but I am just the same....I have worn trousers/jeans etc...but somehow I just don't get the same buzz as I do when I wear a skirt or dress...maybe I'm just too damn girly.!!...and I will live with that..LOL
Love Nikki. xx

[Nikki Dee]

Don't mind the teasing at all...but I would still rather be dressed.!!
Love Nikki. x

[christine55]

I would be sorely tempted to take them up on it.
Hugs, Christine

[ChristineRenee]

Sure...it comes with the territory. And if I should happen to look as feminine or more than them when dressed...well...that's all part of the "fun" too isn't it now?;):p

[Helen MC]

In our Western culture the skirt epitomises the female, (I know that some men wear kilts which are a sort of skirt, but they are very much the exception even in Scotland).

In these days a lot of clothing is unisex, in the UK and Europe men's underpants (briefs) are almost identical to women's panties having no fly, elasticated leg openings, a double gusset (crotch for US readers), and in all sorts of colours not just plain white Y-Fronts or Undershorts as in my childhood and youth in the 1950s and 60s. Similarly jeans, trousers, shorts. etc are very similar but the skirt is still the architypal FEMALE garment to most people. One has only to look at the symbol used to differentiate Public Toilets, for Male Toilets a figure with its legs apart wearing trousers, for Female Toilets a skirted figure.

So the skirt is still a woman's garment as far as common public perception is concerned and thus has the attraction for Crossdressers and TVs of the "Forbidden Fruit" . I have often seen a woman wearing a skirt which has been attractive to me and have sometimes bought a similar one for myself to enjoy wearing at home.

[Lacie0604]

Is there really any need to think. Just do it and be who you are and enjoy life.
If we stopped and thought about everthing we would worry all the time and never do what we want to do.
Hugs and kisses

Hi Heathr

I understandwhat you mean about skirts and trousers

I thought that too but my wife found me a pair of ladies trousers that are so thin and light feel really sexy.

Just wear what suits you

[Billijo49504]

OK Heathr, if you need a little push, I DARE YOU TO DRESS! Have fun sweetie. I'm off work for the next 2 weeks, you know what I'll be wearing..BJ

[Katrina]

I used to feel that way too. Now, I have realized the way that women's pants and shorts are cut and love the feel. I find a nice tight pair of pants almost as sexy as skirts.

[Jesse69]

Why do I not find women's shorts, trousers and jeans sexy, but I do skirts?

I feel the same way, and I don't own any. But I will buy a good pants suit from a thrift shop. No pants suits new.

[Jesse69]

Are Dept store makeovers free? The only charge is to buy makeup?

[StephanieCD]

I've had some girls threaten to dress me up - almost like a dare. I've reluctantly pretended to be disinterested. Ahh, regret.

Other than that, I hate all teasing... been picked on a lot about it by people who didn't even really know the truth. Always called the 'guy with the skirt' in a social group because I lack balls :( I've always been the exception to the "I hate men" game - oh you don't count, honey. And I'd get teased about not being "a man". Argh. And I've never been out - they're all talking about my personality. So that teasing would really get inside me - do they know?

I'll go now lol

[uknowhoo]

I got a bit of teasing this evening actually, at a Christmas party of good friends which my wife and I have attended for probably 12 years. I always enjoy it. Now if they teased me when I was dressed...:crying:

Hugs,

Tammi

[heathr1]

well made and a good price.

Cute denim skirts in Tesco at present.

Any other supermarket clothes fans?

[heathr1]

Wearing mauve lipstick that a GG gave me:o

[heathr1]

Anyone planning on going out en femme on NYE?

A GG who does not know about my occasional dressing jokingly offered me one of her dresses for the evening in fancy dress.....

I kept my mouth shut.

[Wenda]

sounds like an opportunity. I dont think friends or colleagues consider that I could dress, but they also know better than to challenge me to anything. I work at a casino, and will be there (although I am on holidays). it will be a pleasant evening. easy.

[heathr1]

Ayone here found any bargains?

Can't say I'm looking, but I'm off to the leatherwear store in a nearby town soon:)

[vanity]

I just left victorias and founf some great deals on panties

[suezeq]

plenty of bargins at asda as at matterland

[Billijo49504]

Lots of bargains at Lane Bryant!!! We went crazy, ok just me.:)

[Nyx]

See my thread on $9.95 stretch jeans ;)

http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20306

And now, guess what I'm going to do with my $200 Victoria's Secret gift card... ;)

[suzy]

I found a good sale at Fredericks on line at least.... Some good bras for $10 bucks and name brand better bras for $20 bucks.... I bought a bunch,,,;)

[Laura Jane]

Not quite in the January sales, but an item i picked up on the 23rd for £9.99 was a UV-Nail Light. Its a battery operated UV light and fan for drying nails. A real godsend!

[Jonien]

yes yes yes I have found a pr of trousers with an ankle length skirt over the top that has several splits going up to the hips was £45 got it for just £18 and a pr of pumps for just £5

[heathr1]

:)

I've just received an email from a GG who I bought a skirt from about a year and a half ago to say she will sell me some of her clothes cheaply as she has given up on ebay and has a friend who still uses it who sells large sized club/fetish wear.

I've yet to reply, but it was a lovely surprise.:)

[heathr1]

When you see a GG in your favourite item, or fabric/material, does it make you want to dress?

Today, I saw a woman in leather trousers and have just put my leather skirt on.

[Sarahgurl371]

Most of the time just seeing attractive women dressed nice is all it takes for me to start fantasizing about how I would look in her apparel.

[Monica55cd]

i so agree with you tammy.... i see a woman anywhere and i'm constantly thing wow i wish i had her butt her hips.. ooh love those shoes... ohh love her eye make up... wow like that lipstick....sometmes it feels like a brain over load....probally because i supress my dressing too often...

[Khriss]

.. leather miniskirts... hmmmm... lipglosss...or....
- scary when anything pertaining to female fashion ...ensnares my attention !! ...part of the territory perhaps...:eek: :D
(i,can'thelpmyself-i,wasbornthisway!?hehe) ;) xx"K"

[heathr1]

I used to help my ex-girlfriend with her hair and make-up.

Does your SO help with yours?

[heathr1]

this morning and picked up my denin mini:D

Thoughtless moment that would have given my boss a surprise when entering her office.:eek:

[pricilla21 GG]

hi hope you had a good new year. To answer your question no. My SOs idea of makeup used to be red lips, false eye lashes etc. I did his make up quite a few times and took him on a make-up course (we said he was thinking of going into theatrical makeup for a living). I would urge all cders to get some expert advice as alot can be changed with makeup - big features can be made to look smaller and PLEASE do your eyebrows! it doesnt have to be very noticable but a bit of tidying up works wonders. Red lipstick only really works on the young or beautiful. Less is more when it comes to makeup. Foundation with a good coverage is a great base to work on (5 oclock shadow). Shading and highlighting can minimise a big jaw bone and large forhead whilst highlighting can bring out those cheek bones! Ive seen some great makeup jobs in the photos, so alot of you are getting in right already! luv pric
