Closest you have come to being caught - without being caught

[Becky Blue]

many of us have had close escapes, I thought it would be fun to hear about some of your close escapes, the ones you got away with. i have had one close call.

After a night out in Sydney, I was heading to the USA the next day for work. Got back late to my Sydney hotel, removed all my makeup etc etc.. and grabbed a few hours sleep.

Woke early scrubbed my face carefully again & headed off to the airport, where I was interviewing our future General Manager for a job. Half way through the interview I pointed at my laptop screen to show him something and both of us saw the red sparkly dots of nail polish I had missed all over my finger nail. before I could say a word he said have you been painting? Phew yes a dolls house for my daughter says I thinking really quickly. He says well i think you have more paint on your fingers than the doll house and laughed as did I with relief!!!

[CarlaWestin]

I have several almost caught stories. And I mean good ones! But, just recently I went out before sunrise to get something out of the trunk (boot) of my car wearing this cute little outfit.

268884

Just as I opened the lid and leaned in, I looked up and notice a neighbor standing in the street looking back at me. The view was blocked mostly by the lid. As I remained leaning down as not to reveal myself he just stood there evidently concerned that my car was being broken into. So I just hollered, "I'm OK! Thank you." He said, "Alright. Have a nice morning." and continued walking his dog and never looked back over his shoulder.

Carla never learns. I went out to fetch the newspaper one morning in this fine little get up.

268885

As I stood up with the paper another neighbor of mine, my beer drinking buddy, was halfway from his house yelling, "Hey, Chuck! Is that you?"
I scurried back in the house real fast.
Interestingly enough, he's never mentioned a thing about it.

:straightface:

[Krisi]

Carla, it looks like you may want to get caught. You know people may be walking by or looking out the window, yet you continue to go outside, not only dressed as a woman, but dressed as a woman who wants to attract attention to herself. Most women in that situation would have been wearing a robe.

[dolovewell]

In high school I would wear bras under my clothes(usually multiple layers) and one day my friend came from behind and grabbed me, just rough housing and playing around, and I was for sure he was going to feel my bra. But somehow, he didn't. I remember my heart racing harder than it ever has.

My mom found a receipt from Victoria's Secret in my backpack when I was also in high school. I had to spin it as me buying a men's fragrance from there, fortunately she didnt look at it long enough to determine it was actually a bra I bought.

My best friend found my bra stash in my dorm room in college when he was visiting one weekend. I had to think quick and said it was my trophy case, i.e. bras I took from women who I invited back to my room.

[Beverley Sims]

Bright red lips once, told em it was raspberry cordial. :-)

Yeah! Pigs might fly too.

[DaniChan]

I've gone out a few times in guy mode but with small heels on (somewhat covered by my jeans). Not the smartest thing to do when you're closeted, I know...
Once, going to a mall a bit far from home I bumped into one of my best friends just as I got there.
Luckly, I usually don't drive in heels and had not put them on yet...

[Judy-Somthing]

One day I had dresses and all the intimates out on the floor of my man/girl cave.

I was half dressed when I heard the front door of my house open.

I immediately pulled the fem clothes off and put my PJs on.

Then my son started to open the door of my man/girl cave and look in I said "don't come in I'm working on a birthday gift"

I then went upstairs to talk to him for awhile, I don't know if he noticed that my PJ pants were on inside out.

He asked months later how come he never got his gift. I said "I lost interest in working on it and maybe I'll finish it someday".

[Stephanie47]

When I was a teenager (15 or so) I was into wearing my mother's clothing. That's all the clothing that was available to me. I guess I was into one of those "grab a crumb of time" compulsive disorder times. My parents were out of the apartment which was on the sixth floor of the apartment building. I was wearing one of my mother's dresses. I was constantly checking to watch my parents hanging out with the neighbors and figuring I had ample time to take off her dress and stuff it away into the closet. I figured wrong and heard them trying to get into the apartment. The security chain was on the door. They were yelling to get in. I was taking off the dress. My father was impatient and was trying to creak the chain. I finally got the dress off and dressed back into my male clothes. I undid the chain and explained I was in the bathroom. I don't believe they believed me. I'm fairly sure my mother knew I dabble in her lingerie draw. How did the strap on her sole black bra snap? I'm sure she was able to tell her clothes had been rearranged. My mother and father reflected the 1960's....no tolerance for alternative lifestyles at all.

[Sissy_Michelle]

Becky,

My close call was due to weather. I don't fully dress, however I was wearing white bra, and panties under shorts, and white short sleeve button down shirt. The shirt is thin so you can just barely make out my bra in the right light. However during the summer we have rain showers that come upon you very quickly, and while I was inside a shop it started raining. I was so comfortable in what I was doing it didn't dawn on me till I felt the shirt sticking to me that the shirt was see-through...

[Jennie2]

So many close shaves to choose from!
I was at home in the kitchen, wearing a short black sheer nightie with matching panties when my daughter aged about 14, and about 5 of her school friends came home early, luckily, as normal she had forgotten her keys, so rang the bell, luckily, again, she didn't look through the glass panel at the side of the door to see me running down the hallway to the bottom of the stairs, I quickly changed and let them in, they were too busy chatting to notice it took a couple of minutes for me to answer the door.

[Majella St Gerard]

Before I came out to my son, when I had the house to myself. I would dress up and go out on the back deck and have a smoke. I would occasionally look through the window to check the driveway for the car pulling in. One time I missed it and heard the door slam shut, I panicked, he weny straight to the bathroom and I ran into the house into my room and quickly removed my feminine clothes. Then was like oh hi I was on the toilet. Soon after I let him on on my secret. I figured why should I have to run and hide in my own house. Now I am out of the closet and dress as I want when I want. My house my rules.

[Judith96a]

I had two close calls as a teenager (16).

I was often home from school an hour before my mother and brother (I usually walked home from school whereas mum would collect my brother from his school and take him to cat-sitter while she did the shopping.) The bottom of the lingerie pile got raided on many an occasion! Also, mum kept many of her dresses in a wardrobe that was in the corner of my bedroom.

Close call #1... I'm at home alone while mum is shopping and watching the TV while wearing a 'borrowed' skirt and one of mum's older bras. I got too engrossed in the TV programme and lost track of time. Next thing I hear is mum's car at the bottom of the drive, which gives me something like 90 seconds to get upstairs, change and put away the 'borrowed' items. The skirt was replaced by jeans double quick (and heeled into the wardrobe in my room from whence it had come - to be hung up properly later!). I was just about to remove my top so as to remove the bra when I heard the front door open and mum call me to help her with something from the car! Nothing for it but to un-stuff bra, pull on a big sweater and help mum. Fortunately, my brother had missed his bus and was coming home with Dad. Mum had lots of stuff to pack away into the kitchen cupboards - so I was able to sneak back upstairs for a few moments under the pretence of needing the bathroom and restore the bra to its rightful place! Had to endure the big sweater for another hour.

Second close call... One day I decided that I really had to try on the beautiful evening dress that mum had made several months earlier. It was hanging I. The wardrobe in my room just begging to be tried on! I was used to mums dresses more or less fitting me. What I forgot however was that I was starting to bulk out and mum, of course, wasn't! I managed to squeeze into the dress. Yes it felt fantastic as I pranced around in it. But when I came to wriggle out of it I hear a small but very definite ripping sound! To my horror I discovered that I'd broken the zipper at the very bottom if it. I managed to get the zipper back together again and zip it up. But I knew that the first time that mum would unzip the dress the zip, which had lost a tooth in the process would fall apart and there would be questions followed by trouble. At that moment I was grateful that mum had taught me how to sew because I raced to her sewing box, got a needle and some navy thread and sewed the zip together just above the missing tooth (reducing the useful length of the zipper by something like a eighth of an inch).I was just cutting off the surplus thread when I heard mum's car in the driveway. The dress was returned to the wardrobe but the needle never did get back into the sewing box.

Phew!

[carrie2014]

Going to outside sports event. It was early in the morning so I dressed in blouse, wig and makeup and pink ball cap. Know one ever out at this time of the morning on a Saturday. Everyone of my neighbors knows my van. At the end of my street not only one neighbor outside packing his car for vacation and looked right at me, but on the other side of the street was another neighbor walking his dog he also looked at me. As the days went on I saw both neighbors and talked to them. Never a word was said. Had a story ready if asked, Had a female guest using my van that morning. That was a close call.

[sara66]

Closest I ever came to being caught, I was 13 or 14, I had the day off of school. I was trying on a bunch if my sister clothes, in particular a satin nightie with a bolero type robeish jacket. I had just put it back in my sister's room, I was just closing door when my brother came home early from school. I thought for sure I was busted, but he didn't even notice
Sara

[brenda girl]

I came home for fall break from college and i just got dressed in a nice skirt and top when my dad came home and I jumped into bed and out a blanket over me and made it look look like i was sleeping, my dad looked in and bought it and left the room

[DIANEF]

Ask me how I found out I can run in heels!!! Sat at my PC idling away some time fully dressed when my sons car pulls onto the driveway with him and my wife inside, home several hours early from work. Open window, all glass door, how they didn't see me I still can't figure out, I ran upstairs faster than Usain Bolt, into the bathrom and did the fastest change in history. I needed a calming drink or three that night!

[Ozark]

Carrie 2014 We were camped out at Lake Smerling wed-sunday in our RV it was very nice. And yes, of course I was!

[Becky Blue]

Some hilarious stories had me laughing out loud a few times, particularly Michelle's see through shirt caper!
Reading all your stories reminded me of another close call... Was In Toronto for work, dressed up in my hotel room one late Sunday afternoon and needed coffee (as you do). Being winter and cold I decided I could keep my top half on under my big puffy ski jacket, so popped on my guy jeans and shoes and off I went to get my takeaway coffee. Standing in the queue wondering if people can notice my somewhat bloated chest when i hear my name being called, yes its my work colleague sitting there.. calling me to join him. I can tell you its not pleasant sitting in a overheated Tim Hortons with your Skiing jacket zipped up. Colleague thought I was crazy when i claimed I was cold in there... always wondered if he noticed by larger than normal chest.

[Marcelo]

Plano Race for the Cure 2014. I saw two of my friends before the race and walked right past them. They said they were discussing that they thought I was really a man then I walked up to them and said, "You have some really weird friends." The one one the left of the pic really loved it! The other one not so thrilled about it. She just retexted this pic to me a couple of weeks ago.
Close call it was!

[lingerieLiz]

I'm not sure that I got away with much. Over the years I have been caught. Sometimes it would have been easier to just ride with it. Cleaning a house I was going to move into I decided to dress while cleaning. Had on a dress, nylons, the whole works. No close neighbors. Sat down for a moment and heard the screen door open. New neighbor a mile down the road was walking in. At first I thought it was my dad as he reached the room I was in I said I'll be right out. He walked away and I went to the back room to change.As he walked in. Duh, it was pretty obvious I had on a dress as I was holding a board or something in front of me. He could see the top of the dress with my boobs and the bottom of the dress with my nylon clad legs. He said he wanted to show me the barn. We both lived on the same estate. So I grabbed a sweat shirt and slid on a pair of pants and sandals. Duh, while walking around the barn he glanced down and I looked to see what he was looking at. There were my feet clearly showing my nylons with reinforced toes and heals showing. Being married I'm sure he was familiar with women's nylons. He never said a word. We stayed friendly for the couple years we lived their.

I really don't think it bothered him.

[redtea]

I got a couple, though i don't think i got away with it.

1- I ordered a few things on amazon once, yoga knee lenght shorts and some panties i think? Well this package came a day late so i had to work that day. I felt intense all day knowing that package would be picked up by my mom but 99% likely to not be opened.

Well I got home and she said a package came for me in the mail. Which sent me into cloud 9 since i didn't think of a lie for what was in that package. I got to my room and the package was still sealed, but it was a amazon clothing bag and you could sort of see into it through a hole. I could sort of figure out what was inside by using the hole.

I would like to say I got away without being caught but my sister mentioned womens clothing in a couple jokes a few weeks later to which i acted completely dumb about it. this event probably started a DADT with my mom and sister. But since the political season is here and we have gotten into semi-heated debates, CDing hasn't come up.

2- I was shopping for my first pair of womens jeans at Target when an older woman that works at my job walked 3 feet from me! I think I saw her first and put my sunglasses on and fast walked my way out of there! Not that anything would happen but still it could have gotten really awkward.

3- I went downstairs to get a drink wearing womens jeans and a pink shirt. By the time I got to my room the door opens and my mom is home. Had I waited 15 seconds before going downstairs I would have been caught

4- I carelessly left my pajama set on my bed when my mom walked into my room to talk to me. After she left I looked to my left and noticed the mistake... I don't think she noticed....or maybe she did xD
I left many things out of place, from panties on the floor to toys on the bed. Maybe I am asking for it. There was also the time when I left the forums open while talking to my mom, The top banner wasn't showing but the URL was showing. Luckily Her eye sight probably couldn't read it.

[DaniChan]

I had bought something (shoes I think) that I didn't have time to put on my stash and had put on the top shelf of an wardrobe temporarily...
On that day my mom happens to need a bag that was on the second to top shelf...
I was like "let me grab that for you" !

[MissJoanne]

I think this qualifies.....

I'd been out and about one Monday - following day, someone was in my office and in the middle of our conversation, he said "You've got a black mark on your eye" followed by, in a very jocular manner, "Is that mascara?" (Which it probably was!). Being quick-witted, I responded "Do I ask YOU what you do on your day off?". He said "No, you don't". He's probably still wondering.....

[Lux]

Home alone one day in high school and my parents came home unexpectedly. My heart was in my throat as I couldn't believe it when I heard the garage door opening!! Running as fast as I could in 5" heels in a French Maid's outfit I jumped into the bathroom! I quickly undressed and shoved the shoes,wig,stockings and uniform under the sink and washed my face as the shower was running. Came out pretending I had just showered... Thank goodness they did not go into the formal living room where I had set up and left the camera and tripod. :o

I look at the picture I took right before they came home and still get a huge twinge of anxiety of almost being caught everytime I look at it!

[IleneD]

Event #1. I was on active duty (military), and tried underdressing; wearing panties, etc. under my flight suit. I'll just say I had a very serious in-flight emergency that nearly necessitated me ejecting from the jet. Whoever would have found me, alive or dead, would have found me wearing women's underclothing. Would have been a bad career move at the time.

Event #2. Hilarious if not for the near disaster. I was traveling and staying at a B&B. After late hours there is no staff on the premises. I was dressed up (gorgeous blue gown, heels, etc.), out for dinner and drinking wine with some people I met. I went out (late at night) still dressed and accidentally locked myself out of the B&B. I paced around the brick courtyard of the B&B for a couple hours, cold and frustrated. All the time I was dreading having to account for my presence (cops?) because I had no key or ID, etc. I ended up breaking a small backdoor window and letting myself in. The "emergency numbers" they gave to call didn't work so well. I paid for the window and thanked them for their forbearance. (and yes.... the owner saw the whole thing on security video, including my apparel. We had a good natured laugh about it and I gifted him with a nice bottle of scotch.)

[sometimes_miss]

I was 13, about 10 a.m. on a nice summer day. Wearing a full outfit of my older sister's clothes. She was supposed to have gone swimming with her friends. I was in the bathroom, trying to put on some mascara, when I heard the front door slam, and heard her running up the stairs. I quickly closed and locked the door, she, yelling for me to get out of the bathroom because she 'had to go'. Panic sets in, I stripped, wrapped all her clothes in a towel and dumped it out the window. Clean my face, wrap another towel around my waist, and open the door. She shoves me out of the bathroom and locks the door and does her business, while I hurried down stairs, out the back door and collect the clothes.

[JustJoni]

I was a couple of years ahead of my brother in school, so when I went to high school he was still in grade school for a couple of years. My high school let out earlier than the grade school, so I had a bit of time before he got home (we were still sharing a room at that point). Dressed in a full slip and pantyhose, I completely lost track of time, and here comes my tween brother clomping up the stairs to our attic room. I had no time to strip or cover up, the best I could do was bury myself under the covers of my bed and feign having a migraine and trying to take a nap. I am not sure he believed my story of why I was huddled up on the bed (actually I am certain he didn't believe me, lol) but I don't think he suspected I was wearing women's undergarments beneath my comforter either.

After that I always set an alarm on my clock to remind me when he was getting home.

[LesliePinky]

I know it doesnt apply to the title per se bec i was not technically caught with the clothes and wig on. But last 2 years i forgot to lock my room whch i always did, my mom cleaned my room and saw my bag with the wig and 2 shorts . But when i arrived home she just casually said that i found a wig in your room and the shorts. Not the "sit down lets have a talk...i found a wig in your room " type. Shes just being casual about it. And i was like yeah its from my new girl she works im the parlor im fond of bringing new girls to my house. I guess i was just too manly that it didnt really cross her mind that ill be doing this cd stuff or maybe she knows lol

[krissy]

when i was in catholic school i wore my sisters pink slip and panty set to school and that day they decided we all were going to play tackle football i was so freaked out of course i got the ball then every one tackled me they didnt find out but i was so scared .it didnt stop me from wearing them to school .

That was certainly some quick thinking and devising a fabulous cover up on the fly.
But then, we've all become pretty good at covert operations.

I think mums have a way of just 'knowing'. Mine still reminds me 35 years later of the time she found her shoes in my bedroom, and the feeble excuse I made about it. And the time I dived under the covers when she came into my room (again!), I was 'ill' but actually had my sisters knickers and bra on.

Edward D. Wood, Jr, the director who made 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' and 'Glen Or Glenda' used to wear a bra and panties under his uniform when he was fighting in the second world war

[DIANEF]

Just seconds ago, absorbed in a telephone call about a new job, got the opening page for this forum onscreen, and my son comes down from upstairs and walks right past it. Don't know if he saw it, never said anything...

[Tracy Irving]

There are so many close calls over the years. I will just tell of the most recent ones:

Last week I was in the pool at the gym with my trainer. My brother came in asking for the keys to his car (we had switched vehicles). I told him to take my locker key (attached to my towel) and retrieve his keys. After my shower, I went to my locker and had a sinking feeling when I saw my panties next to my running shoes. His key was in a different compartment and the panties were still folded so I hope I wasn't caught. Nothing has been said, at least.

The new college semester started a few months ago for my son. I had a few hours so I put on a pink poofy prom dress. I was standing in the family room when he walked past the bank of windows on the side of the house. Rounding the corner we have two floor to ceiling windows before the patio door that we always use to go in and out. If he glanced even slightly into any window he could not miss seeing me. I managed to take a few short steps into the hall leading to my bedroom and close the door. I changed clothes and came out to see the pink dress bag hanging on the wall opposite the patio door. Dang! Luckily, he didn't notice or say anything.

[phplayr]

I accidentally left my receipt out. Had just purchased a pair of heels and 2 pairs of pantyhose. My wife asked if I had really bought oantyhose and I convineed her the store must have messed up the sku, I bought socks for work. Luckily, no more questions!

[Ressie]

Scene 1) I use to go parking with my gf in the '70s. She was cool with me wearing panties during sex. This became a habit since neither of us had an apartment. Police had to check out the situation once in a while, and yes they saw me wearing panties once or twice.

Scene 2) In the '80s I was with a road band that stayed in hotels. The drummer and bass player were staying on one side of the suite, I was in the other (connecting rooms). The drummer and his girlfriend were going somewhere on our day off so I asked her if I could wear her dress while they were gone, and she said yes!

So while the bassist was away I went over and put on her dress (not for too long). The bass player walked in after I took the dress off and I was completely naked! I just told him not to ask why I was in his room naked. :o he said OK and not a word was ever said (as far as I know).

[Rachel Anne]

First time out for a drive I nearly got pulled over by some police that were patrolling my neighborhood. What are the chances they'd be there for my first time, right?

Well, turns out if you drive at 3am, you make yourself very noticeable. There's a lesson there somewhere, I'm sure.

[melissa_rinaldi]

when I was 13, I was living near the campus of a state University. I would had my stash hidden well in the woods, and would dress regularly, and often venture out if the woods to walk or ride my bike around campus. one day I had a change of clothes (another skirt and top) in my backpack, and decided I didnt want to ride into the woods to change. I found a line of bushes where I thought I would have some seclusion and went at it. just as I was down to my panties, I notice a police car coming down the dirt path toward the bushes (path ended at bushes). I dropped immediately and prayed that the surrounding grass would shield me. the car sat there for what seemed like an eternity (but in reality was probably only about 30 seconds). I could make out that the cop was looking around from the drivers seat... and then he put it into reverse and backed out. and on that day I went through my first ever purge, and still wonder to this day how I was so lucky after being so stupid.

I did some other very stupid things in those years, and it is still anwonder to me how I didnt get caught.

[AllieBellema]

Back when I was in my late HS days, I would dress up every Saturday night... would go out to the living room where my grandparents kept an old large bathroom mirror. They would both be asleep, but I was able to sneak out and turn a light on and get dressed (and even do a quick photoshoot). Usually, they stay asleep the whole time so I can sneak back and forth without getting caught... but there were two incidents where I could have been.

There was one night where I put my southern belle dress (yeah, I had one when I was a kid too... obsessed with them, I swear!) on in my room and was gonna wander out to the living room for a little bit. I got dressed up and quietly snuck out to the living room while trying not to make noise with the skirt rubbing up against the doors or wall. I got out there and enjoyed my moment infront of the mirror. Once I felt like I was done and head back to my room, I would quietly sneak back there since my grandma usually slept with her door open and my room was next to hers. I would quietly peek around to see if she was still asleep... usually she is, but this one incident, she was not and I was in full dress. I snuck back to the living room and waited her out, but it took a little while. Eventually, I stripped down to my underwear and sat in the dark waiting a bit longer. Once I found out she went back to sleep, I gathered everything up and headed back in my underwear to my room to put everything away.

That's not the worst story either...

The second story, I gathered up all of my various dresses, skirts, swimsuits, etc and went out to do a full photoshoot of everything. As I was in the middle of doing all of these photos, I could hear my grandfather (who sleeps in a recliner wake up and start to get up). I panicked, shut the camera off, shut the lights off, and quietly stripped down as I could hear him go to the bathroom. Eventually, I was butt naked laying on the couch in the living room with all of my girly stuff stuck between the couch and coffee table (NOTE: I was without any boy clothes out there). To make it worse... he came out to the kitchen, which required him to walk near the living room. There was an access from the hallway to the kitchen, so he didn't walk through the living room where I laid in quiet naked on the couch. He got himself a quick snack and drink, then made his way back to his recliner and went back to sleep. I managed to quickly get my photoshoot done and gather everything up and take it all back to my room.

So yeah, a couple good close calls there. Especially since my grandmother got heavily into religion in her last years so who knows how she would have reacted to me.

[Becky Blue]

All these great stories triggered another memory. Was in Philippines for work a few years ago, bought myself a gorgeous green top. Family agreement was never to look in my suitcase after trips as I would always buy something for the wife and kids. this always gave me time to move any Becky purchases to a safe hiding spot.

So just my luck suitcase falls off the bed and 2 or 3 items fall onto the floor one of which being my gorgeous top, my mrs sees the top and says is that your present for me ? you know I don't wear green. Err uhhh well its such a nice top i thought you may try wear it, says me thinking quickly. I got THAT look.

Worst part is she has had the top hanging in her closet for years and has never worn it and its so gorgeous :(

[lingerieLiz]

The Nose! When I was working for a major corporation I went to the accounting department to get some accounting corrected. As I'm about to finish up and leave one of the women announced loudly, Who has on White Shoulders I love that perfume. It was me and luckily I was done and could slide out of the cubical area through another door with out going back by her the way I came in.

If she had figured out it was me, my career would have ended quickly with that company.

[ElleStreet]

With me it wasn't being close to being caught rather than it was being closed to being forced to come out in such an embarrassing way.

I had went out for this past halloween to a party. Just got back in unlocked the door to my room and put down the basket I was using as a purse for the night (Red riding hood costume) and went downstairs to get a drink and relax for a bit after a scary night. I came back upstairs to my room and the door was only just open ( y'know when a self-closing door doesnt quite close all the way?) and my life flashed before my eyes.

see, my room door autolocks when it closes and my keys were in the basket I'd chucked in earlier. the door luckily hadn't locked because it didn't close properly. I was a 'little more forcefully closing my door' away from being locked out of my room; with no keys or phone, dressed in a little red riding hood costume, with no access to any male clothes, with 3 inch heels and no makeup wipes, waiting 6 hours (from 2am to 8am) building up the courage to leave the house still in costume in the day time like some sort of walk of shame, to go and get the spare key from my landlord (facing my landlord dressed would be a whole other layer to deal with).

its a little silly but this all went through my head an milliseconds upon realising how close I was to being locked out, needless to say I've had a spare key cut and hid it somewhere in the kitchen :thumbsup:

Decades ago when I first started dressing I was up in my bedroom which I shared with my older brother. I had my shirt off and I was wearing a bra when I heard my brother coming up the stairs. I had all of three seconds before he would see me, no time to get the bra off or my shirt on. I grabbed the bra and just yanked. Miraculously both straps let go but it was still hooked. I shoved it down around my waist and tried to cover it up as best I could with my shirt. I spent the next several minutes giving the shortest responses I could to my brother, mentally willing him to leave the room.

Lipstick and ear rings get me every time, I am all the time forgetting to remove them,

When I lived with my patents they had gone out and were supposed to be gone all evening, so I got all dressed up and went into the living room to watch TV, as soon as I get in the living room I hear someone coming in the front door, since the front door was between my bedroom and the living room I had no choice but to head into my brothers bedroom which was just off the living room, it turned out to be my mum, well she insisted on me coming out, but I refused, she eventually left after about half an hour to my relief, I then headed to my bedroom and got changed.

More recently I had been dressed, then later I had to take my car to the mechanic, when I arrived I notices some of the workers looking at me, but dismissed it until I got in the office and started to talk to the manager and realized I still had bright red lipstick on, I asked to manager do i have lipstick on and when he said yes I replied with STUPID GIRLFRIEND and then left it at that. Nothing more was said.

Another story I remembered earlier... not as impressive as the others I posted earlier...

I ordered a bigger hoop skirt to go with the southern belle dress I owned while I was in high school, ordered in the late November/early December time frame. Fast forward a week or two later, I had not realized it arrived and my grandfather intercepted the box. I was in my room watching football and he came in my room with the opened box and asked what this was mentioning that he was preparing to wrap gifts for Christmas. I just said "Oh, that's something I ordered for myself..."

Surprisingly, he gave it to me without asking any more questions. I just sat there for a few minutes in stunned silence wondering how I got away with that.

Wearing 8" platform stilettos while cleaning in the basement. Landlord came home and came down to the basement to get something and I couldnt get the buckle undone until the last second. I hid my heels under a blanket.

Elle, you are like me, when you are dressed with your makeup on, you can't tell there's a guy in that makeup and in those clothes. The secret, I think, is to do a simple understated look with the makeup. Don't ever overdo it with the eye makeup and blush. I see this a lot on many CDs. Have the right style and color of wig that looks like your real hair and real hair color. And keep the skirts, tops, accessories, boots, booties, tights, wigs, tasteful yet girly and kinda sexy!...Scarlett...Great job by the way, Elle, you look absolutely gorgeous. Wish I could figure out a way to post some of my photos on this forum. I am super with photography with my Nikon D3300 camera but lousy with technology!....Scarlett....

[ElleStreet]

Wow scarlet, thanks for the compliment but I've just started and still have a lot to learn. What's troubling you about getting photos up here? Is it getting the photos on to your PC or is it tge file size restrictions? If it's the 2nd, send a couple and I'll resize them for you. I've done a lot of basic photoshop work like that.

Two more quickies. One I've told before and one I haven't:

-It was probably the late seventies and I was out driving late one night fully dressed but, probably hideous due to inexperience. When I drove behind a commercial building, I didn't see the blacked out police car that immediately lit me up. Now, mind you, back then you could be arrested for lewd behaviour. I was petrified as I got out of the car. I was told that they were concerned about my presence as there were many break-ins in the area. I just calmly explained that I was a harmless crossdresser. When the officer handed back my ID he asked me if I didn't think it was a little odd wearing the clothing of the opposite sex. I looked right at his female partner and said, "I don't think I'm the only one crossdressing here." We had a good laugh and I had a big sigh of relief.

-A lot of my CD adventure has just been the wonderful feeling of having breasts in a bra. Even in male mode. Back in the water balloon days, I would walk up and down the aisles of the grocery store with my arms folded to somewhat cover my ample bosom. One time as I was just strolling in a store, I felt a hard grip on my arm. I turned around to see the meat manager saying, "What do you have under there? What are you stealing?" I whipped my arm away and said, "I'm not stealing anything!" as I walked towards the door. Once outside he persisted and grabbed me again. This time (being Irish) I shoved him down on his arse and scolded, "I'm a crossdresser you :eek:." and walked away. As that was a time of transitioning social acceptance, I came back to the store later and had a discussion with the general manager who nervously offered me a heartfelt apology.

See, I'm a real pioneer (fossil) with this stuff!

On one occassion I was only seconds away from being outed. Since I still live with my parents, I don't have much time for dressing. But on one day I came home earlier and decided to dress. Just as I put on lace lingerie, my mum opened the front door and in she went. In the few seconds I had left I quickly put on sweatpants and really loose t-shirt I keep close for this, covered the boxes where I have my clothes stashed with a blanket, and sat cross-legged to hide my feet in stockings... "You doin' fine?" she asked.

Had I had the time to put on the dress with a back zipper, I would have been outed undoubtedly.

My wife has a gay friend I am not out to yet. (She and I are managing my coming out together, and I am taking it slow to keep her happy). He has a habit of sometime suddenly dropping by. Well last Saturday morning I was on the treadmill in pink capri leggings, a purple sports bra, a loose white tank top over my sports bra, and pink Fila running shoes and socks, and guess what happened? Fortunately I had the door shut, and my wife popped in and told me he was here.

Lucky for me there were a couple pair of my old men's Levis sitting on the sofabed in that room (it doubles as a guestroom and a staging area for items to be donated for charity). I pulled off my shoes, socks and sports bra, and pulled on the Levi's. Then I noticed the blue nail polish on my toes and had my wife run in the master bedroom and grab me a men's T shirt and a pair of cloth women's loafers.

I executed the quick change, and left my running shoes, sports bra, and socks in the back room to be retrieved later. I walked through the living room to the master suite, said my hellos, and headed for the shower. I would not mind being out to him, but like I said, my wife's feelings are what matters.

1. My mom came over to help me out a couple years ago after heart surgery. I own no sweat pants so I was wearing some black velour pants with pink trim around the waist. I told her it was too difficult to get dressed so I was borrowing them from the wife. Nothing was said.

2. As a teen, I "borrowed" panties from my mom. She used to randomly search our rooms for no apparent reason and found them. I told her I did it because she was not doing laundry, and I figured if she ran out of underwear, she would do laundry quicker. Needless to say, I got stuck doing the laundry for the next month.

3. I am often having to adjust my belt and wonder how many times people at work have seen lace and not said anything.

Yesterday I am on the computer in the living room on this forum. My brother in law parked at the top of the yard and I am not out to him! So I put the computer to sleep. Then I looked at the arm of the couch and there was a Roamans and Woman Within catalogs. Scooped them up and off to the bedroom! Went back to living room and he is only 1/2 way down the drive way! Do not know what he would of thought if he had seen them. Oh and my daughter does not wear Plus sizes! LOL Hugs Lana Mae

[Allison Chaynes]

Lol Lana Mae! I have had to ecplain to family checking mail for me when I am out of town that "the wife used my credit card to buy something from one of those sites so these things come in my name."

I used to walk around my apartment building floors wearing a variety of clothes when I was mid-20s, how I never got caught is beyond me. Tonight was the second night in a row that I've gone outside at night. Last night I merely walked around a golf course area, but tonight I was hoping that I might be seen, at least at a distance. I walked along the sidewalk of a housing area where there were lights on, but I doubt anyone looked out to hear what the "click clack" noise was or see these skinny legs sticking out of a skirt. While it was a thrill I decided to go to another area off of a golf course and walk on a sidewalk. I've walked this area a hundred times and I was hoping for one car to go by but I was thrilled to have two. This is the first time anyone has ever seen me dressed up and it gave me a huge thrill while still making me nervous. Luckily, it was cold and a bit windy so I wore a coat with a hood to conceal my face/head although I was wearing concealer and lipstick.
