Having been a closet dresser for about 40 years, then my wife finding out about 18 months ago (surprisingly benign) - this Friday I will be going out dressed with people I know. Admittedly it's under the guise of fancy dress - but I have taken the opportunity to go en-femme.
The theme of the evening (a Christmas party for my wife's dieting club) is musicals. The only 'excuse' I could come up with was to go as Priscilla queen of the desert. Now this presents a slight problem because I like to dress fairly conservatively when I go out and I don't like the drag queen look - I prefer (generally) to be more authentically my 50+ age. So I have picked an outfit that, hopefully, fits the theme (to satisfy everyone else) but allows me to look reasonably feminine (to satisfy myself). It is a pink 70's disco outfit with a silver wig (not sure if the mods allow a link here - but this is it http://www.joke.co.uk/disco-girl-costume~73404/).
Of course I will be adding my own breast forms, silicon hip enhancers and high heeled pink strappy sandals and will be applying my own (finely-honed over several years) make-up and will be able to walk quite happily in the heels. I will try to avoid the inevitable questions about all of this - how come you....? Where did you get...?
I'm really excited about it - surprisingly not nervous. It's a MAJOR milestone for me - hopefully it will go well - not sure where it will lead.
Wish me luck....
I'll let you know how it goes :facepalm:
