Hi all,
I haven't been posting for a while. It's been a long time, and a lot has happened. First of all, my longtime girlfriend found out about my dressing. This has actually been a very good thing - I felt absolutely terrible about lying to her, and was very depressed, etc... We went for counselling and everything is at least on an even keel now, though it's sort of in a "Don't ask, don't tell" type stage. She knows I do it, but doesn't really want to know when, etc...
Anyways, on to my first time out. I have wanted to actually go outside and take a drive or a walk for a while, and I was thinking of going to Wildside (a crossdressers club in Toronto). I actually got up the courage to go over tonight! Unfortunately, it was the one Saturday this month that they were NOT having a party, but it was still good. I just drove over, parked, and walked over to Wildside, then back, since they weren't having a party. I live in a condo, so it's actually a lot harder than one might think to go out for a drive or a walk - I really would rather not meet any of my neighbours in the elevator or the hall. Anyways, I did it! I'm going to post a picture or two of the outfit I wore out in the picture forum.
Also, I just want to throw in a little recommend, though I know it's been said 1000 times before - MAC cosmetics is great. I went in to the MAC Pro store on Queen St in Toronto this past week, and they were so helpful and nice. I actually spent close to $300 (I bought almost one of everything, since the stuff I had was crap). They helped pick everything out, went through about 5 different combinations of concealer and powder to find the exact right ones, and were just generally wonderful!
