Greetings All! Please be gentle with me -- first time poster and overall new to the discussion community here...
Okay, so first, a little background: I'm a straight 42-year-old closeted crossdresser. Currently happily married with four kids, all of which I like to keep separate from my crossdressing hobby since it is just that for me -- an occasional thing I find exciting. I've never found myself wanting to be a woman, but by jove they get to wear some wonderful clothes! So over the many years I have been married I have restricted this activity to business trips, weekends alone at home and a couple isolated Halloweens (always a good excuse, but can't get away with it every year). I like to get dressed en femme from the neck down, and for some reason it stops there. Having tried it a few times, putting on a wig and makeup doesn't work for me. Perhaps it's because there's no chance in hell I would ever be passable as a woman. An old friend of mine once told me this style of crossdressing is called 'gender*******'.
So I guess my first question is: are there others out there like me, or is crossdressing an all-in thing for most folks who indulge?
My other question involves an upcoming business trip... I plan to be in L.A. and am thinking it would be nice to do something different from just dressing up in my hotel room and lounging around watching TV. Any suggestions?
