Nicely done, you look great! First time is BY FAR the hardest. Now that you’ve “broken the seal,” I think you might be surprised how quickly it becomes second nature.
My wonderful, amazing unicorn of a girlfriend and I had just finished getting dolled up for our outing to a drag show at a local club last night, and as we were waiting for our Uber, I decided that...
OK, thanks. About what I thought. I’m overthinking things as usual. :-)
So....this weekend I came out to a close friend. She was super supportive (as I expected....I’ve always known her to be the open minded type) and said she wanted to meet Xenia as soon as possible....
Tough to tell from one offhanded comment.....you’d probably have to ask her for clarification to get a real answer. That’s my totally unhelpful opinion. :-)
And of course there would be a...
Yes, good points worth reiterating. I stayed within my limits, stopped drinking about 2 hours before closing, and knew there was a 24-hour diner within walking distance where I could chill for a bit...
This week is a much-needed staycation for me. Yesterday, I had a bunch of annoying little tasks to take care of during the day, but afterwards found myself with a blissfully free evening stretching...
At a place where I worked a few years ago, I would occasionally wear nail polish, but nothing beyond that.
One day, one of my colleagues came to me and told me that the week before, when I had...
A high-quality wig is absolutely a worthwhile investment. I bought one a couple years ago after going through several unsatisfactory cheap wigs over the years, and I've been delighted with it ever...
As a shy, introverted, and somewhat anxious person myself, I can relate to your position. The key, as others have said, is working up to it gradually.
Going out for a drive is an excellent place...
The title of the post reminded me of that line in Ghostbusters: "When someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!"
When someone asks if you want to try on the dress, you say YES! :)
It depends on how it's presented. Something where crossdressing is just presented as a thing some folks do, and here's a funny situation that can arise from it, is harmless fun. This is a fine...
Again, just to be completely clear, I absolutely agree with you on this sentiment. And I see where you're coming from. I've seen many posts on this forum where someone talks about how they tried on a...
Oh, I agree with you 100%, and I probably should have been clearer: I do plan on making a purchase. Definitely not just playing dress-up here. :)
Hmmmmmm....the shaped eyebrows, hairless legs, painted toenails (and occasional painted fingernails), the fact that I sometimes wear eyeliner....
Honestly, I've left enough clues lying around that...
July 4th brought a much-needed holiday from work for me. With nothing else planned, I figured, what better way to celebrate Independence Day than to demonstrate my independence from society's...
I've gotten pretty comfortable shopping en femme, but shopping for women's clothes while dressed in male mode still just feels incongruous and uncomfortable to me. On more than one occasion, I've...
Like others, I bought an inexpensive women's engagement ring/wedding band set on eBay to swap for my male ring when Xenia comes out to play.
And then, since I'm really not much of a...
So this past week, I was able to enjoy a leisurely “staycation.” On Tuesday, I found myself at the local mall (the Poughkeepsie Galleria), and of course had to swing by the MAC counter at...
I gave up on the epilator for my legs years ago. Besides the pain, it took way too long to do both legs, and the results weren’t nearly as long-lasting as I’d heard (six weeks? Pshaw!). I’ve been...
Well....yes and no.
On one hand, much as I love having my "outings," it's a little frustrating that it's always a solitary activity, and I'd love to have someone to share the experience with....
Am I misreading this? You're saying you guard the door of the women's restroom, and if someone you don't like goes in, you just barge right in to confront them? And that you have no problem...
Congrats! Welcome to the "Out and About" club! :)
I'm totally jealous that you have a GG friend that you can share your trips with. I'm still fairly new to getting out and about myself. I'm not...
I’m a radiologist, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to work from my home office most of the time. So I guess I could wear a ball gown and tiara to work if I wanted, but most days it’s just...
