I don't get here often, but I did want to post a little note about our recent trip. Background - happily married to a woman. She knows and has bought me clothes. I don't try to pass, but apparently I give off a very female vibe as we get "ladies" almost no matter what I'm wearing. I'm small and have long hair, so that may have a lot to do with it. I mention that as I don't do the forms thing, nor padding, it's just me in leggings (my go-to casual wear) or often if its just a she and I trip, skirts and stockings as well. But I don't try and pass. I'm also just over 60, so no spring chicken.
So, we just returned from a lovely trip to Las Vegas. I mostly wore my slightly above the knee black skirt, light with great drape and flow, and usually a plain cami as a top and a light, open cardigan over that. Comfy shoes and low top socks.
We went out to two shows, our true "date nights". One night I wore said skirt, a lovely, more dressy top, underneath garters and stockings. The next night, my blue knit mini and black Thi Highs pulled high so as not to show (too easily) under the mini.
I rarely got a second look, and when I did we were more amused. Especially the older gentleman at a cafe. I was going to invite him to take. picture as he was staring so hard. ;-)
As I'm not trying to pass, I do use the mens rooms. Truly the only uncomfortable time I had, and mostly because I know how unruly 'Bros' can be in packs, but nothing was an issue. A couple of restroom attendants did let me know I was in the wrong restroom. ;-) One security guard was adamant to my wife that I was in the wrong room. She explained it, and he was extremely apologetic.
Why do I tell you this? To give encouragement to those that have never ventured out in leggings or skirts or any type of female clothing. Most people simply don't care. Yes, we were in Vegas, but we've been other places as well. Yes, we do tend to vacation in fairly LGBT friendly places so if you're up for trying something out, travel to a safer city and get your dress on!
I felt cute, happy, and one night my wife even said pretty. :o
It's OK to go out. Wearing what you want to wear is the whole idea, right?
Oh, and no pics, that's her request that we share no pics, sorry.
Much Love - ThiHi
