Ummm.....what kind of advice? You said have purchased what you think you need. Makeup? Underwear? Outerwear? What? Sure, we're a support forum, but what exactly do you need help with? Surely you know how to dress yourself. If it's help with makeup, look to the Beauty Club section. If you need a wig or something, you need to keep shopping.

The reason you don't have many responses here yet, is because your plea for help is really vague.

Google is your friend.

Google groups too, do you know that a lot of these same questions have been asked in the (mostly defunct) crossdresser newsgroups?

There's a search function here too.

Ugh. Ladies shave their underarms. Icky men have... those arm thingies. I can't bring myself to type out the word. Try Karen's DVD (http://www.femmefever.com/video2.html) on makeup application. It's cheap and Karen does know what she is doing.

Hi Michelle. I learned how to shave by watching my father when I was a child. It worked for him just fine. It doesn't work for me. There is all of this stubble and even if you put on makeup (foundation) it still feels rough. When I dress I want a smooth face. I'm not sure this will work for everyone, but it has worked extremely well for me.

1. Start with a very sharp (new) razor (blade);
2. Use a good quality shaving gel;
3. Shave thoroughly with the grain (direction the hair grows) of your beard;
4. Apply a good moisturizing lotion or skin conditioner;

Wait a few minutes

5. Shave thoroughly against the grain of your beard.
6. Apply a good moisturizing lotion or skin conditioner.

The end result for me is a smooth face with very little hint of stubble. I'm good to go for several hours. It seemed a little awkward the first few times I shaved this way because your hands are trained from years of repetition to shaving in a certain manner. Hopefully you'll get good results.

First thing in my opinion is shave your legs and underarms and use a womans deoderant. The basics of being girly are most important to me.
shopping for under wear I try to go at the dinner hour or 1/2 hour befor the store closes and always make a purchase money has no gender. Skirts & dresses I buy any old time shoes too.
Invest in some good boobs. I got a pair at Lady Grace for $100 that work real well.
Make up practice practice pratice
Men I stay away from them pm me and I'll give you my graffic reason why.
walking in heels the more I wear them the easier it is. Let me brag girl friend I can stroll.:gorgeous:
