Has any gurls experienced or would you if you had the opportunity attend a finishing school to learn the finer aspects of being a woman.
If I really had the opportunity, I would definitely do it. Problem is, I'm unlikely to ever have the opportunity.
Here's a place that looks pretty intriguing:
Miss Vera's Finishing School For Boys Who Want To Be Girls
I have been finished a long time ago. I prefer not being a "lady"...like to have fun. Less Charlotte more Samantha
My late wife and I discussed this subject some years ago. My dear wife always knew that I was just as my tag line says, "lady on the outside, but man underneath!" That being said, she thought there was no need for me to spend money learning to be a lady. She could, and would, teach all I wanted to know and she did. I have never mastered a feminine voice, but with her doing my makeup and wig I could and did pass. If I kept my mouth shut!! I have a distinctive male "radio" voice that is very hard to disguise.
I will just keep on being a guy in a skirt!!:heehee:

Why not just buy the books? :battingeyelashes: Miss Vera has two, which I purchased on amazon.com.Quote:

As others have posted, Miss Vera has two books (possibly more) on CDing. I have read one, it offers some help, but seems mostly to come from the psychological, it's OK to CD, aspect. And there is a bit of a sexual feeling to parts of the book. My worry is that a lot if not most of the places that offer classes such as these in feminine deportment are either, 1, sexually oriented or skewed toward the forced fem crowd (nothing wrong with that, I'd probably enjoy it but not what we are talking about here), 2, very basic classes in things like makeup, wigs, clothing, (again, useful, but not exactly what we are talking about here), or 3, taught by people who do not understand that making a man look and act like a woman takes a very special set of skills, related to but different from those needed by the people who teach GGs, or people who don't care about the difference. If there are places out there that teach feminine deportment, run by knowledgable people, it would be worth the tuition, perhaps not $450 for 2 hours, but I wouldn't expect it to be cheap either..........Stephanie
Only if it had a bar which served decent beer and decent curry house close by :DQuote:

Stripper poles probably don't count either, Huh ??
Chrissie, careful what you say. I promise it all helps,

No but I suppose I could start my own if I had the motivation.:)
This might be the sort of thing some are looking for:

Denae Doyle is a former "beauty queen" who now teaches deportment, style, yadda yadda yadda, to MTF transfolk.

She is, however, utterly true to her feelings and her word. She is, in that respect, very well "finished" indeed.
