It will be extremly hard for me to go to a reunion of my old school unless they hold it in a diffrerent location, as the School i went to was demolished about 8 years ago, and the property sold
Wishful thinking

They don't have to hold it at the school you went to. My reunion is happening on MT Washington. So there is hope for you girl. It just has to be in your home town where you went to school. HUGGS :hugs: :canada:Quote:

Do what makes you happy,, You have to balance the shock factor with what you would like to wear.
If I had a better body and passible I would consider going to my reunion. maybe in 4 years at my 30th I may who knows

Christina have been there and done the reunion thing. Reaction was all over the place and ranged from total indifference to dancing with some "old buds". Look upon the experience as a "command performance" and be sure you reherse your act until you have it down cold. You will be "on stage" and unless some other classmates show up "enfemme" you will be the center of attraction. Stay cool and never break your presentation. Some exposure to a Drama/Theater 101 class would be helpful prior to trying to pull this off. btw subsequent to my reunion I wound up dating several of my former classmates! You might get lucky to!!
As of this writing there are 40 posts here... and you've written 15 of them.
Christina what I am going to say here will not be an easy pill for you to swallow and I may definetly be in the minority of what the other girls in the ra-ra- section cheering you on are saying to you.
I first saw hte title of your thread last night and spent much of today thinking about how I would respond to you in a delicate but forthright manner, not wishing to hurt your feelings or burst your bubble but to pull you down from that obvious pink fog that you are excitedly into now and up until August for your reuinon.
If there is a sub-title for this thesis it would be " You are totally responsible for your own actions and consequences that may result in those actions"
Going to your 20th high School reunion dressed? Are you freakin' NUTS. Do you have any idea of the adverse PERMANENT effect it will have of you, your reputation and everlasting bad memories some of your classmates will still have when years from now they open their yearbook and point out to their wife or kids" See the picture of "Joe" there... well he came to our reunion ' dressed as a woaman". Ha,ha. ha. unheard by you hundreds of miles away.
I actually knew someone who went to his 20th reunion dressed as "Teri" with his wife and he told me how great it was and how everone thought it was cool, and coming up to his wife and questioning here and all. Persoanlly I think he told me what he wanted to beleieve and not actually what happened.
Christina you may at this moment be an excited giggliy little girl with blinders on, sexually stimulated and getting a 4 month woody over this but not realising that you have other people to consider here. It not all about YOU, its their reunion too, and they may feel greatly imposed on by being in what they thought would be a comfortable social event to all of a sudden feel intruded by you because of your special needs and desires.
Is that fair to them Christina???.
Many there have never been in the company of a transvestite before in their lives and may as many do mistake it with a gay drag queen. Then the slurs and terms will fly either within earshot or under their breath... " look at the faggot ther". What about people guys and girls who were your clasmates who you knew well and were really close to and have been out of touch with for 20 years. Their first reacquaintence is with a guy in a dress! Are you prepared to be laughed at, shunned, ignored, verballedy abused by a bunch of liquored up ex-jocks would would like to rtovoke you and mock you.?
Did you think about the other iside of the coin Christina? Well you should, and be prepared for any oth the consequences that evening.
Which bathroom will you you. Can you see walkinng into the mens room, hiking up your dress to pee. You may not emerge in the same condition you went in. You can't use the ladies room because they will scream and feel thier privacy has been intruded upon.
These are harsh realities that must be considered because its like when you tell somebody about you being a CD you can't take it back. In your case it would be show and tell and I feel it would be terribly embarrasing for you and you would feel humililated.
It would ruin many other peoples evening there too. What table will you decide to sit at, and will those people feel comfortable and welcome you.
Again Christina,this is my very long two cents and I don't want to hurt you but beat you over the head with tough (sisterly) love.
Think, Think alot between now and August.
Blessings and good Luck :eek:

[SIZE="3"]Just go out there and be the best damn little girl you can be honey... walk proud in those big girl shoes[/SIZE]
My tag line certainly does Not apply to my above post. Its generic and excludes high school reunions:tongueout
So There:devil:
I have seen very few of my classmates since graduation. I moved away from my hometown years ago and am not in touch with anybody up there. My class has a website which I creep into once in a while, the only people I would like to see again are either missing or dead. There will be a reunion next year in the extremely unlikely event I would go I would give serious consideration to going in a nice dress.
my 30th is 2011,,,
the only ones i want to see wont show up so i doubt ill be goin,,,also im like 2000 miles away...
at my 20th i found out that one of my classmates was/is gay,,, it was NOT the talk of the night,,,,
Good luck, sounds like a lot of fun
Uncle i would have to agree with Megan70 in a way i really think you should think of these things he/she (sorry still not use to this site) is saying, it is a very serious thing and i know that your feelings get hurt very easily. i would not want you to be crushed or hurt physically or mentally any way in that matter, i just think you should really think about it before making a public appearance with your peers, please really think about it! but again do what makes you happy after you have thought about all this love you!

I love people whom are honest with themselves and others. HUGGS :hugs: :canada:
So glad you took it the way it was meant hun, you know I was only being honest with my opinion and not meant to hurt. I respect your objectivity in seeing my viewpoint, even though we disagree. Hands across the border... eh?:heehee:Quote:

as they say up north... "go oot andda boot!" :)
Do you have a store in your aria that specailizes in makeup? If I need somthing specail I head to my local Merl Norman studio. They do complete makeovers by the way. While I've not had one done, I supose they would do one for anyone who's serious. I do plan to stop there the next time I'm "out" (if you take my meaning.) Hmmmm, I wonder if they know my "little secret"? I've beenin there dressed for some last minute stuff on Holoween before, but other than that I go therer drab. They also have wigs. (I've spent some serious time trying wigs there lately) and they do "post masectomy prostetics." I inquired about them a great many years ago (by phone) and they said you need Dr.'s script to get them. I don't know if times have changed on that or not. But pardon my museings....
As for HS reunions, don't want 'em,,, can't use 'em,,, don't need em! Why should I go play nice with a bunch of a-holes that made my life a living h#!! back then?
Should create quite a stir. Go, raise hell and have fun! :D
