What have you done while dressed?

[Shannen]

I would like to post a poll regarding what activities you have done while dressed. I think that some may be suprised by the number of responses for various activities that they think the could never do themselves! I hope it gives encouragement to those that need that extra little push...

If you are happy staying in the bedroom, please say so! There is nothing wrong with that!

:hugs:

[Karren H]

Just normal stuff typically.. Shop... Lots and lots of shopping... Eat at resturants.. Drive.. Casinos... What ever you normally during a 24 or 48 hour stretch.. Took a morning bike trip on a local rails to trails path. Sight seeing... Been to the movies enfemme.. Did I mention shop? Hahaha.

I also worked a couple days enfemme.. Out in the field when I didn't have to meet anyone I knew.. Checking out sites for a river loading facility.. That was a hoot.. Did some industrial espinioge enfemme.. Spying on the competition!! In disguise!! Lol. And of coarse there shopping!! :)

[renee k]

Well for me, it's pretty much anything. Be it running errands to shopping to going to plays, clubs etc; But I love shopping the best!!

Huggs, Renee

[Tomara]

At home when dressed en fem I have done just about all there is to do , cleaning , laundry , cooking , computer , television and so on.
I do not pass so, in the real world I mostly under dress , and I have done all the normal things like work working on heavy equipment and trucks , mowing lawns and yard work , driving across town and interstate , motorcycling , dining out , movies , plays , music and so on.
And best of all I am content and happy with myself !
Tomara

[nicky]

mostly drive, shop alot to normall stuff

[SweetCaroline]

For me a better question would be what HAVEN'T I done dressed. Going to work and going to family functions are about the only things I wont do dressed these days (by that I mean dressed in woman's clothing. I generally like to be "dressed" when I'm out side of the house or around others. LOL!).

[Jennifer Marie P.]

Mostly do what every woman would do shop,go to the movies,eat out at restaurants do errands and go shopping at VS for new bras and panties.

[frenchie]

There's just not enough categories, like have an evening with your wife, SO,spent dancing in your living room while en femme, going to bed en femme, waking up and continuing in the morning, sorry but there's just sooooo much to do even if you don't venture out, good luck to you girls that do though, you lucky so and so's.....Gina Frenchie

[meadowqueen]

hello my dears......besides the darker side of sex....there is nothing better nor anything close to, than the feeling you get when you get to get up on stage in nets, spandex and high heels....with spikes everywhere.........while singing queen, marilyn manson, nick gilder, 80's metal.....etc......in front of large crowds........[god save the Queen]

[kassandra richard]

I'm with Karren. Shopping, eating out, shopping, driving around town, shopping. And did I mention shopping?

Going to work dressed might be a bit tricky, but shopping is always in the cards. :)

Kassandra

[Nadia-Maria]

One of my answers was : "I go anywhere I want to while dressed".
Yet it must be precised that I don't want to go out as a rule, and most of time I prefer stay at home.

As a rule, I prefer to do what I want, than not to do it. Because I like the situations that are simple.

[Shannen]

Great responses! Now if we extrapolate these findings to the general population that would mean that 73% of all shoppers crossdress! :heehee:

[Marjory]

When I was in my mid to late twenties I could actually pass as a girl I had long hair and good features + my wife did my make up. Now I think I would scare someone If I went out dressed

[Nicole Erin]

If anyone goes out at all then yeah driving en femme is necessary...

But for me - CD groups, sometimes clubs, shopping.

So ummm, on Halloween when I go to work dressed, will that count as the costume party since we are having a halloween thing?

Boy I don't know what I am getting myself into this time...

[Emma26]

I've only stayed in the house alone while dressing feminine, I haven't even gone outside at all.

That will change this Halloween, though.

[bobbi sue]

stay in the house mostly wil drive and go for walks under dressed but that is as far as i go,hopefully will change soon the desire is getting stronger with each passing day to start being really true to myself

[tamarav]

Oh, just the usual. Get up, get dressed, drive to work, work most of the day, shop, eat, maybe go dancing, shop, go home. Then, like Karren, I like to go shopping, and shop a bit more.

On the days I don't work dressed, I get up, get dressed and go shopping, to the movies, maybe a bit more shopping, or teach a makeup class. Then I may shop a bit more.

Since I work dressed, I do everything you would imagine a woman would do, it just takes a little longer.

Your sis, generally shopping,

Tami

[Joanne Curl]

I've been out for dinner, been to a club and I've even been grocery shopping. The one thing I haven't done but would love to is to go shopping and trying on clothes en femme. I shop for my wife, with her and by myself, but I've never been able to get up the nerve to shop while dressed.

Wow, MQ. Sounds like u have lived every CDs dream! Going out dressed to the market doesn't sound like great fun to me! ( Not that I'm brave enough even to do that!) I think going on stage dressed, mite be a bigger motivator than going out to buy a loaf of bread and liter of milk!:heehee:

Have u met Tiffany yet? :D

[linnea]

There are still some things that I haven't tried or done much while I am dressed, but since my most recent trips out, I have felt much more confident to do just about everything I would in male mode.

[Amy Hepker]

I am 24/7 so I go every place even to Church dressed.

[MWCMDarlene]

I don't just stay in the bedroom. I do have access to the whole house while no one is at home or before they get up in the morning. I get up a couple of hours before anyone else does, so I am able to wear my bra and my "girls" until its time for them to start getting up. have been busted on a few occasions by the wife. When it is dark outside, I will go outside in the front yard to put bills in the mail box or get mileage off of the cars. I have driven, but not totally enfemme, but with bra and the "girls" to work, usually under the cover of darkness. This past spring, drove from my town to another town down the interstate, 2 hours away in broad daylight. That was a rush!! Hven't done that in years.

[Helen2407]

I used to go out now and then , but more recently I have been happy enough to simply be myself around the home and doing the laundry , housekeeping etc also added to that I am free to work from home so I am able to incorporate that into my dressing . I would say in general I am dress more inside the home than out though.

[Rachel Welsley]

I go bike riding with the girls. and conveniently enough they're the ones who encouraged me to let my femme side out. we took a group pic a while back & all the husbands that saw the pic who hadn't met the rest of us thought the 6'2" gal was the guy. :eek: seems I blend in very well. :D

[Janie Gunn]

Meadowqueen, that must be fun. Thats what I'd like to do, (although in the band that I'm trying to get together it would be more like Twisted Sister than being dressed fully en femme), but that certainly would be fun to do sometime, but probably my best chance of doing that would be if there was karaoke on Halloween!!

One thing I'm considering is Adult (tranny) films.

So far I havent been out of the house when en femme, (I've only worn stockings and panties under my jeans and other man clothes). Now that summer is here in Australia, I'll be hanging out the washing and doing housework while dressed in corset and fishnets, makeup, etc, and not give a damn what the neighbours think. (I just hope I dont freak out their children). Now that I'm getting some sexy corsets and stockings, I'm feeling confident about moving about in my (big) backyard, without caring, so as soon as I get the makeup right, to pass better as a woman, I'm quite likely to start properly going out. I'm really hanging out to go to a local tv club/support type event but there arent any that I know of yet in Adelaide.


Janie

[Raquel June]

I guess I've mostly been to clubs, meetings, and restaurants en femme. People know I'm weird when I'm shopping for girl stuff, but I don't feel the need to shop en femme. Restaurants are kinda private, though, because you're really just there with your friends, ya know?

I guess I'm saying I get out a lot, but I don't feel like it takes a lot of guts considering the places I go.

[Samantha Kelsey]

I do go where I want but thats not to say I'm out and about every day. Usually I'm at or around home.

[Janie Gunn]

Wow, Katie B
I'm amazed that youve.. given a talk at a high school, been interviewed by a newspaper journalist, and been filmed for national television. Youve got courage girl!

Janie

[Tasha McIntyre]

The best I have managed is to go to lunch with my wife - all the way to our dining room :tongueout

I'm waaaaay to gutless to do anything in public, except for trying on a few things discreetly in a shop dressing room!

[Shannen]

Wow, I must say that I'm suprised by how few attend TG Support meetings... not that I have myself... I'm too scared to go!

Thanks for all the great responses!

:hugs:

[Janie Gunn]

TG Support meetings are something that I'd love to go to, but I havent become aware of any yet in the city in which I live (Adelaide).

Janie

[sissystephanie]

It would be easier to list what I don't do while dressed. Or maybe, what I haven't done!

Having been a CD for well over 60 years, and married to a very supportive wife for 49+ of those years, there aren't too many places I haven't been too, or activities that I haven't participated in, while totally enfemme!

Not being good with makeup or wigs, prior to marriage I went out dressed enfemme, but as a man! Now that my wife has passed on, I do the same. I shop, go out to eat, and do all sorts of other things dressed as Stephanie. It is who I am, and I like it!!!:):)

Stephanie

Getting back to being a lady, but still a man underneath!

[avril findlay]

Driving and shopping.

[Nicki B]

I ticked 'go anywhere' because it seemed to encompass all the rest? :idontknow:

[meadowqueen]

Have u met Tiffany yet? :D

:love::ukflag::doll::rave:freddie mercury was the best.......................who's tiffiny?

[StaceyJane]

I love to go driving while dressed. It means I do have to go out into my driveway en femme but thats kind of fun. While I'm driving I see many people and they see me but no one knows I'm in a skirt, heels, hose and bra.


Stacey

[maryjanecapri]

i work in skirts, pantyhose, and maryjanes (sometimes heels, sometimes chuck taylors). sometimes i wear dresses but mostly it's skirts.

there is something inexplicable about doing hair dressed in a skirt and pantyhose.

[Christina Horton]

The one thing I haven't done but would love to is to go shopping and trying on clothes en femme. I shop for my wife, with her and by myself, but I've never been able to get up the nerve to shop while dressed.
Joanne

Shopping while dress is very easy the girls well be great and no one will look at you wierd if you look like you belong there. So have fun and when your ready and do it, you will wonder why you waited so long. Ok huggs. And keep us informed kk.

[Crystal Galadriel]

I haven't ever gone out of my house, and I rarely leave my bedroom fully dressed, except for late at night when no one's around, and then only at my family's house and only if I need something from another room. I've gone places and done things underdressed several times. The day after I first got my own lingerie, I underdressed to two different tests, all of my classes, and work.

As I've said in, like, half of my previous posts, I don't have any proper clothes yet, so I couldn't go out dressed even if I wanted to. But if I could and did, I'd just look like a man in a dress (more likely in a skirt). I'm built small enough that I could pass with some decent forms and a shaping panty, but the full beard kinda gives me away, as would the hairy legs, arms, chest, etc.

[Rachel Welsley]

but the full beard kinda gives me away, as would the hairy legs, arms, chest, etc.

and this, my dear, is why we shave. :D:D

[Tiffany8]

So far I havn't gone any farther then my front door. But the more I read about others experiences, the more I think about doing "more". I am starting to consider going for a drive while "underdressed". I highly doubt that my first time( if/when I do it) will be in my local area. I am just to nervous about someone seing me. On the other hand I do have tinted windows. :heehee:

If I ever do go out of my house, you ladies will be the first to know.

[Jennifer in CO]

I checked "go anywhere" since living life is outside that door and Im gonna go do it...

Jenn

[Janie Gunn]

last night while dressed en femme I drove my car around for about 20min, for the first time, and later on, in the early hours of the morning before going to bed, I went for a walk around the block.

Janie

[trannie T]

I have not done much en femme, just:
Gone to support/social groups,
Gone shopping at the mall,
Got stopped at a DUI checkpoint (I was sober and quickly sent on my way,)
Been to straight and gay bars,
Rode the city bus and streetcars in San Francisco,
Gone to my local Starbucks,
Had my makeup done,
and I still regard myself as pretty much in the closet.

[mykhelee]

My birthday is the day b4 Halloween, have room for Friday night, club is just down the street. Khelli will be stepping out.

[Tootsye]

While I am not full time, there isn't much that I HAVEN'T done. I have flown quite a few times, gone to sporting events, I have spent sixteen days full time in one stretch. I have done lip syncing on the stage twice and Karaoke at a club in Las Vegas. I have never had a negative experience while dressed. If you are courteous and confident and respectful, and demand the same from others, it is not necessary that one pass! What ever that means?
Hugs,
Tootsye

[joann07]

I pretty much do anything and go anywhere.
In the two years I've been dressing I've done a ton of things:

Flown in femme
Gone to the movies
Gone to the beach
Volunteered at a community event
Walked the streets of New York City
Enjoy the street festival in Little Italy
Rode the NYC subway
Rode the black car service
Participated in various Pride events
Been to straight/gay clubs
Shopped at various malls and grocery stores.
Ordered in at a McDonald's and a KFC.
Drove long road trips
Dined out at highend restaurants with a close and personal GG friend
Gambled at the Hard Rock Casino
Sang Karaoke
Gone dancing
Attend various transgender conferences
Obtained a female ID
Applied for Khol's credit card with my femme ID and got approved
Got a makeover at Sephora
Attended many support and social groups.
Attended various theme parties (i.e. Halloween) and gatherings.
Shop at Victoria's Secret all the time :heehee:

There's too much to list. :)

Hugs!

[trannie T]

I forgot to mention one other thing that I have done while dressed, I've had a great time!

[sometimes_miss]

For the most part, I just stay at home. But last month, having nothing to do, I decided to go out for a ride, while dressed up. It was my first time out, ever, so I decided to play it safe, and go in very late at night. So far, so good. But I kind of forgot that my car tends to get a lot of attention. Pulling up to a stoplight next to me were a couple of guys, and I could feel the eyes staring at me. I get the 'Hey lady, nice car!' but don't have the courage to turn sideways and look at them, I knew they would have me made in an instant. So, foolishly I took off as soon as the light turns green. Mistake; they think I want to race. This goes on for three more traffic lights, I'm mortified that some cop is going to pull us all over, so I pull into a fast food drive through after they pass me, hoping they won't come back. They don't. I'm sweating bullets. So now I have to order some food, I know I'm going to have to face someone and I know they have cameras on the cars driving around the building in the drive through lane. When I get to the window, the girl looks at me and giggles a little when I look at her and pay, and as she hands me my change and my food, nicely says 'it's o.k.' to me; I'm struck speechless; I try to move my mouth a little, but can't make a sound. I smile weakly, take my food, give her a stunted wave with my fingers, nod ever so slightly, and go. My heart was pounding, the lump in my throat felt like it was the size of a watermelon. I carefully drove home, took a very long hot shower, and then collapsed. I never ate my food.

[LisaElizabeth]

Most of my outings are in the evening. I try to get a group of girls together and do dinner and dancing. So I go to different restaurants and we try different nightclubs / dance bars when I do go out. Sometimes if it is early enough I get a little shopping in while dressed. Looks Like I'll be able to do that this coming December!! The seminar ends mid afternoon, so I'll get a little shopping done 'en femme'!!
Christmas shopping as a girl.... could be interesting!!
Lisa Elizabeth

[Carol Crossdress]

I've had several makeovers but only once did I drive back to my house while I was still dressed. I was scared to DEATH!! I read the posts about how all you have to do is have the right attitude but...:o

[NewDresser]

i was very shocked at the results. makes me want to reconsider staying in my bedroom.

[tricia_uktv]

I don't drive but that means I have to use public transport which is harder. I will now do anything I want dressed and that is brilliant!

[crystal99]

I like the poll but felt a little foolish when i answered it (i stay in the bedroom), i wish i had the confidence to go out like alot of you, but at the moment im too worried about being seen.

Crys x

[erickka]

When I lived in Fla. I was in a much bigger city than I am here in Tn., so I was able to go and do anything a GG would do without anyone as much as batting an eye. I don't try to do that here in a bible belt small hick town, it is not safe! I voted the last choice, since i had been able to....

[tanyalynn51]

I walk around my entire apartment dressed. I also forgot to say anywhere else that I had a job cleaning a building by myself for a while that I used to drive to dressed as a man, but would change before I started working, and change back before I drove home. Wish I could do that now. :daydreaming:

[Douglas27]

When I can dress, I stay in the house. Sometimes I go outside but make sure the coast is clear.:worried: I live in a housing area so there are alot of folks around most times of the day.

[haleycole]

I went to work once dressed. Nobody else was there, it was one of the most thrilling moments of my dressing carear lol

[black leotards]

Once I dressed up as a maid on Halloween at a small bar in a 4-star hotel! I knew the bartender and she was quite supportive! :heehee:

[avril findlay]

Shopping, eating, with GGfriends. CD friendly pubs and clubs fully dressed on my own.

[Rachel Morley]

Gosh, more like what haven't I done while dressed ! I answered "I go anywhere I want to while dressed" because that's what I actually do. I go wherever I want to and do things a woman of my age might do. Often (but not always) my wife is with me and we go out as girlfriends. The places we go most are restaurants for dinner and shopping at the mall. Then there's various events with our TG group the River City Gems (http://www.rivercitygems.org/) like socials and whatnot.

I guess the the last time I did something that was quite a thrill was when my wife and I were bridesmaids for a wedding (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91057). I had to go to a bridal store for a fitting ... en femme of course. There were several GGs and their daughters in the boutique. I felt a little bit nervous about getting read but in the end only one older lady gave me a "knowing smile" :D

[AmandaM]

I've been out walking, driving, and been to a couple of support meetings.

[trish lee]

I been on vacation stayed beachfront and felt the sun sand and surf76711:)

76712While there we're walking looking for shells and walked right up on people , got a few looks, don't know if i was made or not

[Genifer Teal]

Going to work and going to family functions are about the only things I wont do dressed these days

That about sums it up for me too.

Gen

[Jenny Doolittle]

Gosh, I love all the responces to this question. For me, I do so much more now then I did 5 years ago and the reason is becasue of reading what my "sisters" are brave enough to do themselves. Shopping now is a joy, not a nervious experiance. And the friends Jenny has made out in the real world, well, I cant tell you how much joy I get from another women engaging in conversation with me as Jenny

This post is not a compition.....I do more as a girl then U do, it is a chance to help another girl grow in her confidence, to enjoy who she is and accept yourself for that person.

I have been going to chat rooms now for about 6 years, and I want to thank girls just like you who have helped me grow through seeing their experiances. Because of seeing what you have done I have gained the confidence to be all I can be as Jenny. I only wish I would have had this oppertunity 30 years ago.

It is appropriate that this is Thanksgiving, Thank You All so much.

:hugs:

Jenny Do.

[Kristen Kelly]

For me a better question would be what HAVEN'T I done dressed. Going to work and going to family functions are about the only things I wont do dressed these days .

Same goes for me too, but even at work I do push it for that's my own hair. I have left work in women's jeans and a casual top under my jacket, my foundation on so all I had to do was change my earrings, jacket and finish my make-up. The fear of losing my job is the only thing that stops me from coming out to work. Some of my family knows and many of my friends. It just feels so right so why hide it.
