Hi Joan,

I have a full beard and stash that I cannot shave as my wife is totally against it.

I use a semi custom made mask from makupartist. It covers my entire face and head and when I wear a wig it gives a feminine appearance. It is obviously a latex mask but much better than a bearded man in a dress.

I'll never be able to go out in public with it but if you suspend disbelief a little you can imagine yourself as a woman.
Here is a link to the Makupartist website:

www.makupartist.com (http://www.makupartist.com)

Here are some links to my posts I made while masked.

I make my own special faces for Sherry. I recently purchased a Makupartist latex mask. It came with no eyes. I have worked on it and have not given up yet, but I'm not happy with how it looks compared to my homemade special faces. U decide what u prefer. Here's what I think r the best pics of both.

Though i'm not into masking, I understand its appeal. Just another expression of the desire to look beautiful..

But yeah, Ed Gein is to maskers what Hitler is to guys in uniform..

I can understand people use of masks, I'd never use one myself, but there again I use my face as a blank canvas Anyway! You can almost change anything if you try hard enough, ie teeth, nose shape, hair (colouring, length, style) eye colour with contact, cheek padding, anything is possable if you try?

Though a mask would never stand up to close inspection, I totally understand peoples needs to use them (and agree we all have limits, which some of us are more willing to push than others) but I'm sure it is possable to use such items at a distance to give the impression of not only being clean shaven, but female as well, infact there was recently a thead in the beauty section on a guy that used a half face mask to very good affect, I certainly from a distance would not have realised he was masked nor Male!

Unfortunately I can't fine the post. ho hum

Ok. I worked on my latex mask tonite. I wanted to post some more pics before this thread disappears. I just threw on a handy outfit and wig. But spent no time on the complete look.
Please disregard the neck. Also, remember these r REAL close ups. I think it will going to look pretty good from 10 feet away, or so. I will use it in Sherry's next dressing session and post the pics. That may be a week or two down the road. I think I still prefer Sherry's special faces, but the latex covers the whole head and has some advantages

Nice work on the eyes Sherri. As you know my approach to the eye problem is to use sunglasses.

The neck on the mask con be a problem if you are not wearing a turtle neck or a closed collar. This is not a problem for picture taking as the neck can be blended in very easily with Gimp2 or Photo Shop.

In the picture below I am wearing a very open gown with sunglasses to cover the eyes and have used gimp2 to smooth out the neck. It works pretty good as long as the photo is not too large.

I also put a new background in and fixed the contrast with Gimp2 but except for smoothing out the neck I did not alter my figure or face.

Feel free to check out some of my other postings in this forum.

Just an observation but aren't you hiding your real selves behind these masks, or is that the point of them.?

Tracy_Victoria

01-23-2008, 04:42 AM

I just think it's creepy. I try to appreciate how other people feel about it, but it's hard for me not to be a little disturbed by it. I don't know why -- it's not like it's some horrific gross thing. I'm actually fascinated by why I find it so creepy.

But that rubber dolling stuff, that is definitely disturbing, and I think the people are into it are doing it specifically because they know it's disturbing, and it's a kinky turn-on for them.

I think the thing here is it's each to there own, we all have things we like and dislike, and lets be honest different things float different boats. To me my dressing is something I enjoy, but I try not to cross to many lines for the sake of my wonderful partner who knows about Tracy yet struggles to see me dressed (and has done just 2 or 3 times in 15 years!). However I could not keep a beard because of my need to look feminine, nor would I keep one because of my desire to dress. my rule has always been so long as what I do is not perminant, and I can return to my male self for her, then I hope she can accept my needs to dress.

To be honest how far is a mask from any other form of disguise or items we all use, ie on a good day I could be wearing any or all of the following, from a simple wig, to contact lenses, glasses (which are fake) false teeth, cheek and nose pads, if not all of them. so is it not a case of the masks we wear are just not made of latex?

My look is certainly always changing, some work, some don't (but it fun trying them) However at the end of the day, don't we all wear a mask?

01-23-2008, 04:48 AM

I actually thought about this some 30 years ago when I didn't think there was a snowball's chance in hell I could ever look like a girl. Actually, a company called Neptune Productions in New Jersey had all of this stuff, plus a latex female torso and they used to send me a FI(female impersonator) newsletter with these products advertised. That was pretty "gutsy" of pseudo macho me back in the 1970's to even look at this stuff, much less consider getting it :p.

Well, times changed and I changed and even though I still may not look like a girl, I really don't care. It's become all about fun and having a good time. I do think those folks who utilize the latex and other stuff have a lot of artistic ability though and I did send for some beige colored liquid latex last year to play around with. It is an artform however and takes time to develop.:happy:

01-23-2008, 04:51 AM

I think they are the most hideous things I've ever seen. And now I've seen them in close ups, they are even worse than I imagined. They look like blow up dolls, horrible... sorry, but they make your face look like it's been plastered with makeup and frozen.

I think they are embarrassing, and if you believe they look like womens faces, you have seriously got another thing coming. They are NOTHING like women, infact they should be bloody banned... horrible hideous Barbie/blow up doll things :puke:

Kate Simmons

01-23-2008, 05:11 AM

That is somewhat true Tam and you cannot really interact with others with these masks. At best they are good only for posing but it is however the only way some folks can somewhat live their fantasy. I have to give them an "A" for imagination in any case.:happy:

Kate Simmons

01-23-2008, 06:43 AM

Yeah, I know. A lot of gals are afraid of clowns. My daughter has always been terrified of them. There used to be a guy who had a Saturday morning cartoon show in Philadelphia who was also a clown. Sometimes he showed how he made up on the show from beginning to end. That kind of de-mystified it for me, knowing there was a real person in there. Sometimes I feel like that guy when I do the makeup routine, considering what I start from :heehee:. The difference for many of us is we know it's not real and even as good as some of us may look, we know it is an illusion and don't really put up a pretense to be someone or something we are not. I just consider it a form of expression myself, nothing more or less.;):happy:

Raquel June

01-23-2008, 09:15 AM

Melissa A.

01-23-2008, 09:41 AM

Creepy doesn't even begin to describe it for me. I really don't mean to offend, but this is so far removed from crossdressing to me, it's not even funny. I would not feel like myself in one, and Melissa is a very real part of me. Again, I am sorry for the strong response. I thought about not posting at all. But my response was so strong I had to say something. They don't look close to real. They look like something out of a "virtual reality" animation or something. No human male needs that much help, in my opinion. I think they make people look far less than human. I am sorry. Very scary and creepy, to me. And it's gotta be really hot in one of those things. The whole thing makes me shudder.

Hugs,

I feel exactly as u do Tamara. I purposely posted closeups, which r the creepiest! However, without some sort of coverup, I COULD NOT CONTINUE TO CD! Remember, I'm 60 y/o. My old male face is unacceptable for me to see on Sherry's body! I will post some pics when Sherry does a dressing session with the latex mask. I believe everyone will be surprised! I've only just started working with this mask. I think I can get it to look better! Kathy's pics with the latex r good. I think she's minimized the "creepy" look quite well.

That is somewhat true Tam and you cannot really interact with others with these masks. At best they are good only for posing but it is however the only way some folks can somewhat live their fantasy. I have to give them an "A" for imagination in any case.:happy:

Thank u Sal. It took me years to come up with Sherry's special faces. Even today, after 2+ years, some of her looks and pics r quite homely. As a closet, fetish CD, they work for me. Without her faces, she wouldn't exist at all! And I wouldn't be here! They r not as creepy as the latex, but still have a weird look up close. Here's a recent example from about 3 feet away:

60453
However, from a distance of 10 feet, she looks much better. Quite good and hot enough, for me, anyway! How many 60 year olds can get a date this hot?

The first time I saw a "masker" I was a bit put off and thought it was kinda "sicko" ... (some say creepy, others say bizarre) ... so to speak.
But, having looked deeply into fetish and all the twists and variants associated with it.... Masking pales by comparison.
Not all of us are blessed with aqualine faces that can easily be "made up". As Doc observes, the ravages of time will catch up to us all. Today's repulsion could ultimately become ones passion in later years. Take for instance some of them "Old fat women" I used to watch on TV... Today they look pretty um well..... That's a whole nother topic.

01-23-2008, 02:34 PM

The masks remind me a bit of leatherface from the texas chainsaw movies, that may be what scares people. But I think it is really neat and creative way to express one's self. Maybee if the eyes and mouth were cut (like white chicks) out it would be less scary to some.

Ema1234 GG

01-23-2008, 06:36 PM

To sum it up for me, and perhaps I speak for others here as well, the most bizarre (and perhaps disturbing) aspect is that they make you look not human. The first time I saw pictures using masking on this site, I honestly thought someone was dressing up a mannequin and pretending it was photos of themself.

Whilst I have no problem with people doing this, from what I can see it's whatever floats your boat, personally I do find it rather disturbing.

I think it's the complete lack of expression. Even from a distance, all the photos posted here look fake. Using this technique, I'd honestly say I don't think anyone could pass convincingly even from a distance. I'd willing to be proved wrong, I haven't looked into this. I just can't see how they can ever be realistic. The lines and expressions are what make us real people.

crunchysoda

01-23-2008, 07:35 PM

I understand it 100% and the day the really get a "true" mask out there, I'll be buying it! In other words, I WANT to look 100% femme! Not even surgery can do that for me. Maybe after loads of cash, cutting and make-up I'd look semi-OK, but if I could just pop on a REAL womans face???? Mind blowing for me. My real face is like my real body. Mans. Dont want that thanks. Want to be totally female.

You cant be serious. How would this ever be possible?? That is the scary of all scary.

I hope no one ever finds a way to just "pop on a real woman's face".
Even if you could do that it wouldnt take away your bone structure w/o surgery. If it had it's own structure your head would look too big for your body, trying to cover up your own cheek bones, jaw line ect.

So what's next, "face donation", yeah dont think so, not for recreation.
I know they have done something like that but it was for a burn victim.

Back on topic, even from a distance in the small pics it's pretty obvious the "face" is a mask. There are plenty of women that go out in public that are in there 60's, 70's and so on, I think anything would be better than a mask.

JenniferR771

01-23-2008, 08:04 PM

It is OK with me Robby. Some people think they need a younger look. Some are not good with makeup or need to change quickly. Or a very masculine face. Or a beard. Some gurls do not want to show their actual face online for privacy reasons.

I considered a mask and when I dropped by a local shop all they had was a geisha girl and Hillary Clinton :eek:.

If you enjoy that kind of thing (I do) it fits in well with forced-feminization fantasies. Your beautiful domineering woman forces you into a dress, wig and mask. Takes you out for a drive.

Mitzi

01-23-2008, 10:26 PM

I say to each his/her own. If wearing a mask enhances the person's dressing experience, go for it!! After all many of us are into miniskirts, sky high heels, etc., totally inappropriate for "respectable" women of any age, but we don these because they make us feel sooo sexy and femme. My :2c:.

I think many of the commenters are somewhat mistaken about the "intentions" of mask wearers. No one knows better than a masker, the limitations and "fake" appearance of the look they have. It's not necessarily about attempting "pretty" though that does become one aspect for some... Certainly it is not about becoming "passable". It has more to do with being "encased" or "totally enclosed" in the latex itself. Most maskers are "rubberists". There are many facets to this most complex fetish. The sleek texture, taughtness, flawless anonymity, aroma, and many other indescribable sensory stimuli of latex can make for a very strong affliction. Imagine your strongest urge to dressup and be the most beautiful woman of your dreams... That's how a true rubber aficianado feels when "encased". The "mask".. "hood" (even a "gasmask") is "makeup" to a latex enthusiast. And that is only one twist to what is a labarynthian potpourri of kinky pleasures that awaits one that dares to "scratch the latex itch". Granted, not everybody's cup O' tea... But rubberists do have a VERY tolerant attitude and open mind when it comes to considering the "bents" of others. In fact they have a special place for "T girls" in most of their venues. (Helps with sorting the varied "anonymously encased" life forms). :happy:

100% serious. And its not that hard or even out of the woods nowdays. If I had a proper special effects artist and loads of money and was willing to let them run with the idea, I could have pretty much what I want now. Bone structure etc can be covered by diferent layers of the material etc used and create something in the Farscape tech range but with a womans face of course.
Its definately not out of the range of possiblities nowdays. It may be way to expensive to be realistic for us but certainly possible. Idea, 3D scan of face, computer proggie to read and compare with wanted femme face, pumps out the plans for the mask along with varying thicknesses according to different face areas for female bone structure and voila! I'd say that with a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars, should be a piece of cake.
Why wouldnt I want a womans face without the pain and incertain results surgery can give me? I want womans genitals as well. Is there anything wrong with that?

The way you described it to me it sounded like you wanted REAL skin from a real woman, not special affects, makeup, latex, super secret non surgical procedures to create ect ect.

I still doubt that it would look real but whatever floats your boat ya know. As long as no one is being hurt in the process and it's not against anyones will or what have, live and let live.

Fab Karen

01-24-2008, 05:03 PM

If this is your fetish, fine. I think part of the reaction comes from it not being crossdressing- the goal for most of us is to look our most femme & natural looking. I stood ten feet from the screen & the face still looks like a mannequin.
For the remake of Hairspray John Travolta only agreed to do it as it would be a body-suit & mask, without that he would have been too afraid with the years of rumours in the business about his sexuality.
CDing or not, we are all growing older, and one day even the gorgeous youngsters will not have "perfect" young faces. If you have issues with aging, there's always plastic surgery ( though not perfect either, you can see the results on an older face in Joan Rivers ( she's older than Larry King ) ).

01-24-2008, 05:21 PM

I think bEEb explained it very well, and it obviously goes into a different place from "regular" CDing. In the words of another poster, whatever floats your boat.

Sorry but the mask reminds me of one of those life size rubber sex dolls. Which by the way is how I got started in all of this. Back in 1995 when the net was first up and running I went to a site called RealDoll.com and saw life size, life like , anatomically correct, vinyl sex dolls for $7000 and up to 10K. If I had the money who knows I might have bought one , instead I decided to make a doll out of myself LOL. I think like many of us the internet was the key to our comming out. The dolls weighed a hundred pounds of so and stood 5' 4".....I wonder where I would have stashed it...trunk of my car? hee hee

I admit it is a bit unusual ... but if you're a crossdresser who's got a very masculine face, or a full beard, and you don't plan to go out, but you want to look as feminine as you can from a distance, or in a full length mirror, or in your photo's ... what other choices do you have?

That's why I previously mentioned that there needs to be a private forum for discussing things like this. It is not "crossdressing".

Amanda,
I'm not a "rubberist", as bEEb mentioned. But, whether u like it or not, I'm a CD. And CDing for me means being "Sherry".

And she cannot exist without special faces. And I ,therefore, cannot CD without them either. And, as I'm finding out, there r other CDs that r syphathetic to my form of CDing.

Amanda, u have the rite to express your opinion. But so does bEEB, and so do I. I think ALL CDS live in glass houses. I certainly do, and I'm NOT going to go throwing stones at anybody!

I agree with many hear who say masks is not realistic enough in appearance and in fact are a turn off for many, but I would also recognize that the use of a mask is dependent on where the user is as far as their purpose and intent. I look back to when I was in my 20's an 30's I wore a mustache. I was young enough and niave enough to be to concerned about what others might think or how I would explain my reason to shave. Totally stupid reasons on my part. As a result it was impossible for me to even attempt to go out and even when I dressed at home the illusion was limited by the mustache. No amount of make up was going hide the fact that I was a male. I eventually came to the place where I shaved the mustache and after a while even began to venture out, because I at least had the chance to present myself without the obvious give away that I was male. I have been out a number of time with varying degrees of success at passing in public, and yes having been read several times! I have learned to look for places that I would consider safe.
The point is that when I was younger I may have used a mask in my private time to help me to present the desired illusion of being a woman. Knowing that there is no way the mask would have allowed for passing in public. So, for those that use a mask to help them to see themselves as a woman for the time they are dressed I say MORE POWER TO YOU!
I am sure they know it would not allow them to "pass" in public, but it does help them to achieve the goal that we all desire, to become fulfilled and complete as our other self to the greatest extent feasible.
For me personally I would not want to wear a mask, but if that is where some one else finds their pleasure, so be it.

Given the work that makeup artists now do in films, e.g., Mission Impossible, shouldn't it be possible to create partial masks that cover almost any "sin" on one's face? They might be uncomfortable, but if they can make someone look convincingly like a Klingon, they should be able to do a gender switch mask that is extremely realistic.

There are needs to catagorize posts within specific topic catagories. (Maybe the mask thing shoulda been bounced to the beauty club?) However, rubberists... and most every other alternative lifestyle group encourage cooperative interaction from all who care to visit within their forums. Heck, even didainful critics... right wing fanatics... anti (name your kink here) etc... are welcome to express their views within most any forum as long as it is done respectfully and intelligently. If we are ever to gain a modicum of acceptance from mainstream society, we better learn to accept one another openly and democratically between ourselves. And that means equality in every nook and cranny of cyber space for all comers regardless of personal quirks.

How is wearing a facial mask different than wearing silicone breast forms or latex vaginas?

Those that are intolerant may want to look a little closer at their feelings.

If you like wearing expressionless masks that's great by me. Each to her own as long as you're not harming anyone. But I tell you honestly if I saw someone walking towards me on a lonely street looking like that I would run a f***king mile. Sorry but those kind of images are the stuff if nightmares!

but you want to look as feminine as you can from a distance, or in a full length mirror, or in your photo's ... what other choices do you have?

Live and let live I say.
Well put Rachel.

I can't believe this is still being debated after 3 pages. There are people who would dismiss anyone of us in a heartbeat if they learned we were a CD, TV, TS whatever! I can't believe we are giving one of our members our personal disapproval. This certainly smacks of intolerance.

you don't like the mask you don't wear a mask. But telling someone who likes it that somehow it is weird or whatever is certainly like the pot calling the kettle black.

How bout when folks are out in ski masks? ... Veils?... Burka's?... Hockey masks?... Halloween masks? Granted, in the current climate of bomber threats, masks in public are cause for concern.... Nightmares??? C'mon... Maybe scary terrorist style ... not Freddy Krueger type scary.

Actually. There is a minority of rubber folks that enjoy doing RIP (rubber in public) and indeed some have gone in public with doll masks on. I know of a local girl here that had ordered one with that intention. I politely encouraged her to think twice before doing that. As much as I believe in our right to do these types of fetish things.... I also believe it is the general publics right not to have it shoved in their face.

Will my inner soul ever be cleansed?

I have five female masks. Four from Greyland (from Česká republika) and one from the MakupArtist. I'll spare you any pictures.

But here's my Point:

I'm amazed at the ingenuity of people to come up with these solutions to male to female transformations. The Japanese especially, with their Zentai, Doller, and Kigurumi that has its' roots from their Kabuki theater.

And, there is always a push to make the products better. New promising products such as the full silicone female body prosthetic from femskin.com. I bet it won't be long until someone comes up a silicone gel female mask like the state of the art masks used on Farscape. There is a lot of diversity within crossdressing, I say embrace it!

Masking is not for everyone. If your interested, go to www.maskon.com. But being an aging hippie, "Don't knock it 'til you try it! Yea baby, Yea"
