Here I sit at the ripe old age of 61 and just as happy to dress now as the day I began - maybe more so now. I had 3 older sisters who teased me constantly and thought one day that putting lipstick on me and dressing me in a skirt would be fun (for them). Turns out, I was the one who had all the fun. The mere mention of dressing me as a girl was a delight. And I knew I wanted to do it.The feeling was overwhelmingly "YES!!!!" I absolutely loved the idea, but I knew if I just went along and didn't fight, they'd tire of that little "tease" and stop, so I protested (weakly, mind you) just so they'd continue to do it. Just a skirt and lipstick that day, but in the mirror, I really looked like a little girl!!!! I was cute, I felt like a little girl and I LOVED that feeling and the image of myself being so girly and femme.
I just HAD to go farther and see what else I would like. Every single chance I got, I'd try on another of their skirts or a dress, but I'd never do it without also wearing a pair of their panties and slip. I would wear their poddle skirts with a full crinolin skirt underneath, and their blouses, shoes, anything I could find. They got me hooked just by suggesting I dress like a girl. It excited me and has never dodne anything but make me happy. I adore the feminine part of myself.
My sisters did not make me a crossdresser, but they did introduce me to the sweet girl who lives in my heart - my REAL first love. I told all 3 of them about 5 years ago that I was a CD and they were shocked! I mentioned how they got me started and they wondered if I blamed them. I said I wasn't telling them to blame them, I was telling them so I could THANK them! They just awoke my feminine spirit and I loved them for it!
As for parents, well, I was caught several times by my mother who disapproved, but the more she forbade it, the more attractive it became, and the better I got at hiding.
I want add that I also told my daughter and she loves me all the more for having so much "courage". We are thousands of miles apart, but we made a promise to out one day, each in a skirt. I can't wait!!!!
Sisters can be so mean!
