One small step for man in heels,one large step for cder

[Teresa]

216756Sorry about the thread title but Ive put a face to the name. Oh **** what have I done!............... Just give me a minute while I get my heels back on the ground! I have several wigs maybe the one I chose is a bit dated but it washes and brushes out well and the ends don't split even at the back, also it covers my ears ( male ears not being the prettiest) to leave enough for earrings. If I suddenly disappear again you'll know I've chickened out, Luckily my hearing is 50% down so I won't hear all your comments.

[Kirsten1]

Teresa you look very nice and pretty!

[Carole]

Congratulations on sticking your head out of the closet. Very nice look. Hope you're having a pleasant Christmas.

[Connief]

Very pretty :)

[Jaymees22]

Don't chicken out, you look very nice and that's a very professional looking photo. Jaymee

[Beverley Sims]

Teresa,
You present as a lovely person, why all the hesitation?

[Lynn Marie]

High school year book queen!

[Amanda M]

Happy Xmas, Amanda

Hi Teresa, You are a very pretty women, don't change a thing. JO

[bridget thronton]

Great presentation - please stay

[Jenniferathome]

Teresa, styles come and go and more so for women. Move with them.

One of the cool things about CDing is you don't have to go with the flow of changing styles. Some CDers like Victorian-style dresses, some like the 1950's look (poodle skirts, anyone?), and some like to mix elements from different decades and make it their own unique style. A dated wig? So what? It's all good.

[Rachael Leigh]

I really like the wig, your makeup is very nicely done as well

[Flirty_Fantasies]

I really like your make-up and the professional look of your photo.

Merry Xmas!

Janelle ;)

[Tracii G]

[paulaprimo]

Once again Nicole hits the nail on the head.
Teresa, you look great !

Hi Hon

Very pretty look ,the wig is great and I love the blue of the dress, the color complements you. All in all
much to pretty to hide in a closet.

Hugs Annette

[mykell]

women's prerogative, hairstyles change like the seasons, and you said you have others,
would wear a longer necklace if you have one with the turtleneck style you picked,
makeup very pretty, your good to go....

[Teresa]

Thanks for your reply Carole, Xmas went OK, no dramas. If you read my post titled Xmas blues I had to settle for sitting by the fire in my check shirt and manly cords. What would I have given curl up with a new outfit and sip a glass of wine. From your address we could be close neighbours.

[Teresa]

Thanks for your reply Kirsten1 it' surprising what war paint can do!

[Teresa]

Connief thanks for your encouragement.

[Teresa]

Thanks for your comments Jaymees22. I Cheated slightly with the photo as I was a photographer for ****** years so I had all the gear, studio and full colour darkroom, but it is a self portrait. I am over critical of my work but I actually like myself in the photo ( sounds very narcisstic sorry ). This is where the boundry blurs, I suppose if I was a woman I would be happy to look like that. If you need any tips on photography or posing you know the name and now the face.

[Teresa]

Hey bossy boots! No seriously as my post title said it does feel like a huge step, I've gone from only my wife catching me dressed twice and she along with a male friend seeing the picture, to who knows how many people now able see me. If I've felt so bad for so many years in solitary confinement, how much worse can I feel now ?. CDing is locked in my brain for life, there is nothing I can do about I've got to stop feeling guilty and ashamed. Now I have accepted a female name Teresa is the one that dresses up and wears makeup, and has too much FUN!.

[Teresa]

Thanks Josrphine thanks for your comment, I'd like to change my age!

[Teresa]

Bridget I'll stick around thanks for your reply

[Teresa]

Thanks Jenniferathome I still have too many barriers to move very far but I know what you mean.

[Teresa]

NicoleScott it must be great to be that flexible, I wish I could be but I have limits on finances and limits on storage space ( hiding places). It must be heaven to have a proper wardrobe.

[Teresa]

Your very kind LeighR thanks for your reply.

[Teresa]

Many thanks Flirty your comments are similar to Jaymees22 in my reply I mentioned about the photography so if you want any tips you know the name and now the face.

[Teresa]

Thanks Tracii G you're right and it can be so self destructive.

[Teresa]

Paulaprimo You're all being very kind thanks for you reply, I'm beginning to think I might owe somebody money !

[Teresa]

Vallerie lacy like I said to Nicole I am so limited it is encouraging to read your comments, many thanks.

[Teresa]

Annette there is a little story behind the blue blouse it was in transit between my wife and her sister, I saw it on the hangar the neckline was so flattering especially for a CDer and I loved the colour, the only problem was it was too small across the bust so I couldn't pad my bra but it's not obvious. How I obtained the wig is a story for another day.

[Teresa]

Mikell I am still amazed how a wig can make or break a look. I have ones a little longer than yours and very short bob style in white blond and black.I can get away with the silver blond but I find makeup has to be heavier to compete, the black bob is just too black it can look cute but it doesn't cover the ears well and looks too " wiggy". The longer wigs suffer because they can't be left on stands and the don't like excessive brushing, I could style one like yours but the fibres keep splitting obviously poorer quality.

[alexis61]

Totally agree! I'm a classic guy, and a classic girl. maintaine and hope my wigs last forever.. This stuff isn't cheap! Haha

[Teresa]

Beverley thanks for your comment but going from solitary confinement to all OUT! is a bit scary.

[Vickie_CDTV]

Personally, I really like the hairdo, always loved permed hair. The blouse is fantastic, very elegant! I wish GGs still wore those lovely blouses like that.

[Marcelle]

Hi Teresa,

You look fine and very presentable . . . no need to fear the light when you look like that.

Hugs

Isha

[osteph]

[Alice B]

Following your thread - you have nothing to fear, but fear itself. And trust me, you have nothing to fear. You look beautiful.

[Katey888]

That's a great photo, Teresa - trouble is, you've set a very high standard to move on from... :D Now if I just had a proper studio... I don't suppose you've ever thought there might be a business proposition in this somewhere? Probably 'nuff said for now... You look lovely :o

[tylia]

Pretty girl....don't quit now

[macy1175]

I really want to show my picture but not sure how too

[Katy120]

Teresa, you look marvelous! If were aiming for a very posed look of a female professional you have succeeded brilliantly.
