Freakin Me Out Here

[Joy Carter]

So it was the first time looking in a mirror while fully dressed. I really had a moment there where I felt like I didn't exist any more that I had changed. Anyone what kinda feelings or thoughts did you have the first time you saw yourself ?

[jillinla]

Is it "don't exist"
or

"finally exist"

[Kate Simmons]

Like I was on cloud 9 Joy and didn't ever want to come back down. Ericka

My first feelings were WOW. I was seeing the woman I always thought I should have been. I had been dressing since age 9 and never had been fully dressed. I was about 22 at the time. I hadn't dressed since before marriage. I thought getting married would stop the dressing. Nothing I have tried has stopped or even slowed it down. I dress about 80% of the time now and with my beautiful wife's help am very happy being me.

Good Post
Thanks

First time...slightly dim and distant, I had fewer wrinkles. Though I say it myself, it was WOW at first sight...much better than him!!

Even the make-up was so "beginners luck" that I was unable to repeat the "skill" for ages :(

Hope you have a lorra fun.:D

:)

[Ellaine]

First time I saw myself all done up, makeup the works, I looked in the mirror and saw my mother!

[DonnaT]

I remember it like it was yesterday, but it was '76. My wife commented on how pretty I looked, saying that if we had a daughter she was going to be very pretty.

And I wanted to go shopping, but she wouldn't have that. Been out enfemme, but still haven't shopped enfemme.

[Emily Ann Brown]

First thought........."Darned I need help with makeup!"

Second thought....."Wow, it's the real me."

The first time was totally mind blowing...like an out of body experience looking at yourself looking at you, but not real somehow.

[Teresa Amina]

"OMIGAWD! There I am!!!" Jump up and down, squeal like a girl!:D Well, maybe not squeal (got that guy voicebox) but you know what I mean:happy:

[EricaCD]

I honestly could not believe my eyes. From the pics I took that day I of course know that I was actually pretty frightful to look at. That wasn't the point: it was the fact that my first impression was one of non-recognition. I also realized that, even if not truly passable, I had managed to become something much different than just a bloke in a wig and dress. That transformation was nothing short of magical, and it still is...every time.

[ReginaK]

First time I saw myself all done up, makeup the works, I looked in the mirror and saw my mother!

Same here. It was actually quite creepy.

[HaleyPink2000]

First wig.

I was going to be going to my first ever TriEss meeting . I had gotten my first wig from a High end Shop, and I let the girl help me with it. $250 it was. No way, yeah way. She said I should have something that would match or come close to my own hair. Well never again will I listen to anyone from a high end wig shop. I can buy and try on as good and nicer wigs at the low end shops you see every where.

But at the TriEss meeting it was in a wig shop and the Girl that did own the shop put a nice auburn wig on me and did comb it out. Wooo, what a nice look. I felt female and was treated as such all night, by everyone.

[Kate Simmons]

The first time I did it, I knew I had crossed the line and there was no going back. What I saw was the woman I always wanted to be, totally different than my guy self. To this day, the only way to recognize me as being one and the same person is my eyes. take care, Ericka

[KerriAnn]

The first time I stood infront of the mirror I thought to myself... Wow I look good, but I could look better. So then came the forms, the wig, the brows reshaped, the body hair on the legs and face removed, the cleavage formed. Next up it's the make up :D

It's a gradual process, but I am loving every liberating step.

[pedebra]

My first time I looked in the mirror and " WOW" is that really me. All we need is a little eye make up, reshaped brows, a better job with the lipstick, and earrings and a necklace and I will be completely transformed. I was really excited at the change that had taken place.

[Sherrie]

The first time I looked in a mirror while dressed I was thrilled. The second time I thought OMG I look like my sister. :happy:

[Ellie]

The first time that I was fully dressed and made up I thought WOW!

I saw a very sexy and attractive woman that I would have loved to pick up at the big girl club. Ellie doesn't really look like 'me' in my eyes she looks like a different person altogether. When I am en femme my guy self pretty much disappears but that's what I am going for.

[Karren H]

YES, and I still do. Look in the mirror and don't even recoginize karren and myself as being the same person!!!

Love Karren

[Kate Simmons]

YES, and I still do. Look in the mirror and don't even recoginize karren and myself as being the same person!!!

Love Karren
Yeah, funny how that works, huh? Somewhere along the line during the transition, I become totally Ericka and Rich goes on "vacation" for awhile. Ericka

[TGMarla]

I don't remember. But now when I look in a mirror dressed, it just looks....normal.

[Penny]

The first time was totally mind blowing...like an out of body experience looking at yourself looking at you, but not real somehow.
I felt the same way Julie and I met the experience with approval and disapproval both in action and appearance.

[Lilith Moon]

The first time I looked in a mirror while dressed I was thrilled. The second time I thought OMG I look like my sister. :happy:

The first time I met my sister (Yes, that's right...long story) I was spooked because she looked just like me when I'm dressed. She was spooked because I look like our mother...even though I was in drab. What's more...I have the mannerisms, walk and posture of our mother even though I never met her after the age of six weeks. Weird stuff.

[heather_nouveau]

Joy:

I've had similar experiences; when dressed and fully made up I AM Heather; my whole demeanor changes, the way I walk, the way I stand, the way I talk. It's kind of strange, but it really feels very comfortable and "right" when I'm Heather.

Hope this helps,

Heather

[SherriePall]

The first time I really got dressed head-to-toe with a cleaned shaven face, I couldn't but sit in front of the mirror and smile and admire the woman I looked like and felt like. It's almost a scary moment. That's who I really am.

[barbaracd]

The first time I saw myself , I was pleased and excited. I thought that I could look ok with some work. I'm still striving for that look. I am happy with myself.

[CharlaineCadence]

The first time I ever saw myself in the mirror all done up i cried. Not because i was sad or happy but more because I was finally me. All the years of hiding behind the male persona and trying to live up to the macho manly man i was expected to be where gone. I was the woman that i had locked away. I was normal. I cried myself to sleep and slept for the first time in years a rest ful sleep. I finaly felt normal.

[Jillian310]

I get that feeling every time I finish off my makeup with gloss over my lipstick!

[Laurie Ann]

The first time was totally mind blowing...like an out of body experience looking at yourself looking at you, but not real somehow.

Julie for someone with a great sense of humor you have a knack of putting things in a very clear perspective. I could not have said it better.

[Sally24]

The first time I was in full make-up and clothes I thought "OMG there's my sister 10 years ago!"

Now a year later, it's funny because my male reflection sometimes looks wrong to me. I guess my body image changes the more I dress and I expect the female more than the male.
