Too darn hot.

[Helen_Highwater]

Most times I'll been out and about it's been during the winter months and I was thinking today how nice it would be to go out in a summer dress and feel the sun on my shoulders. Then I thought, wig, makeup, corset, forms, padding and plus 30 degrees C. Headline; CD'er found melted outside dress shop.

I take my bonnet off to all of you who live in warmer climes and go out. I think I'd admit defeat and stay in the shade.

Gotta say, I would give anything to be someplace cooler than Texas. I managed to dress in Houston, even in the humid stifling heat of summer, but it could be overwhelming.

[Dana44]

Helen, in Texas it is hovering around 100 degrees right now and 96 right now after a storm that cooled it down a bit. I do not use forms or padding or anything. Use a bra for my B sized breasts and panties and a skirt and a thinner top or a Tank-top. No wig I have long hair and yes it get hot in the summer. But a nice breeze blows my hair around and that helps.
Yes more leg showing and a shorter skirt or dress with nice heels make it nice for a summer day.

[Alice Torn]

Wigs are extremely hot on the head, in hot weather, i sweat profusely! Pantyhose are stiflingly sweaty, too in such heat and awful humidity. Not dressing in that!

[LeannS]

Helen I am with you time to stay inside.

But I think I am going to load up the boat and head to higher ground and do some fishing.
Humm I wonder if my forms float if so I could use them as my flotation devices lol

stay cool everyone

It is hot and humid in Houston this time of year, I sure got a wake up when I walked down the jet bridge returning from SFO last week.

No wig here as I have natural hair, still gets hot though.

You just have to dress for the venue, I pretty much wear skirts year round here though, as where I had to revert back to leggings in SFO.

Oh yeah and 90% percent chance of a tropical depression approaching..............

Which reminds me I need to get another keratin treatment ASAP

[Rachael Leigh]

Here in the DFW metro it's gets pretty steamy as well but I can still make it out in my wig and makeup, don't wear forms,
but when it's warm I can wear shorts or a nice summer skirt. I do sweat a bit but I manage, for one I love wearing shorts or
skirts because I think my legs look great

[gennee]

It gets steamy here in New York. I wear hats and thinner wigs. I wear loose clothing and sandals quite a bit.

:)

[Stephanie47]

May I make a suggestion. Get a shorter wig. Forget the makeup. Forget forms and corset, padding. Substitute ice packs for the forms...air conditioning? Wear a cotton dress with cotton bra, cotton panty and cotton half slip. Cotton is a lot more absorbent than nylon. Forget the hosiery. Go with sandals. Where there is a will, there is a way.

[Robertacd]

I am wondering when Summer will begin it's been 68 and rainy forever around here.

[Diane Taylor]

During the summer months I get out just as much as the other months. My head is shaved so my wig doesn't make me sweat much, I wear lightweight clothing and skip the pantyhose. Sometimes I skip the breast forms or i'll put plenty of powder on them which helps reduce sweating.

[5150 Girl]

While my hair is thin on top, it is long in the back... Do-rag in place of wig, instead of forms I just wear a push-up A- cup, and do the most minimal makeup possible

[jennifer0918]

Go out at night in those hot summer days.

[Rachelakld]

Hot? in Midlands? really?
All I remember was cold and wet

My wardrobe is full of summer dresses (yes wigs and make up are a pain at 30C)
I do need some winter clothes as it's only 3C in the morings

[Lacey New]

I hate it when my panties stick to my butt!

[Bobbi46]

Hot here in France as well! 32 the other day, but the week before I went out dressed and yes it was hot but good to be out dressed in summer clothes.

[audreyinalbany]

you know it's hot for genetic women too, right?

[Barbara Jo]

You can wear thinner , cooler clothing just as GGs do. :)

However there is one difference with makeup.
Males have more sweat glands in their face than females.
So, heavy foundations are out in hot, humid weather.

Wigs can also be a problem of course...
GGs often tie their longer hair back in in hot weather

[Dana44]

Yeah I have my hair tied or braided and that helps a lot on the heat. Like i said in the heat No hose ans showing more skin is what the GG's do around here. So we do the same.

[Cheryl T]

Not much better here in New Jersey.
The other week it was mid 90's for 3 days and the only place I went was to the backyard and the pool (in my new bikini of course).

Thankfully I don't get all dressed to the 9's in summer. It's usually just shorts, a skirt or skort, sandals and a cute top if I'm going out. Bare legs rule the warm weather for this gal.

[jemima_bates]

Yep. Wig, body-shaping 'kit', stockings and heels just don't work in this heat. I'm a little anxious, as next month I've got some rare Jemima-tima (hmn, doesn't quite work) but am dreading the thought of it still being this warm. However, I'm sure I'll survive!

Though this:

Substitute ice packs for the forms...did make me chuckle.
