    The One Thing...

    just wondering what that special item is that you need for a successful transition/crossover? the one thing that would ruin everything else if you didn't have it?

    i'm a nylon gurl at heart...i remember trying on a pair of my dad's girlfriend's white stockings when i was barely out of puberty and having my mind blown. they were just dangling there on the radiator drying off and i just borrowed them for a little while. ( i was just a kid then and my feet were small enough i could try on all her shoes too..that lady had a lot to answer for!

    so anyway...i think that even if i had the biggest pile of make-up, lingerie and heels to fool around with, if there weren't any stockings to put on it just wouldn't work out.

    Bra and breast forms. Well, I guess that's 2 (3?) things.

    I am assuming you mean when dressing "en femme" and not "transitioning" in the sense of TS. Anyway for me to complete and an absolute must a wig without it I look like Sinead O'Connor only not as pretty.

    lacie, I've enjoyed so many things for long, I'm not sure I can nail it down to one item; even if I'm just lounging around the house en femme, want my pantyhose, bra, cincher, heels, nails, jewelry, makeup and hair. I almost always do my nails last and when I do something comes over me that "completes" me.

    Not being a fetishist ther is little that turns me on more than anything else.
    I find clothing all tools of the trade.
    You need a combination it all to be a success.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    I second the idea of a bra and forms!

    I'm with Bev. I need it ALL to look good.

    Altho, buying my Femskin female suit WAS a life altering experience for me!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    "Hair" and makeup go together for me. I can't feel right without those two no matter what else I'm wearing.

    This is begining to get the feel of a Monty Python sketch.

    One thing - the hair, just the hair.
    well and the forms, - two things the hair and the forms
    well and the makeup - three things ...............................
    You can manage the rest:-)

    Lacie,
    THE "ONE THING" changes over the years.
    For me,
    At first it was wearing a bra,
    then later it was having long hair with a wig.
    then wearing a dress or skirt,
    A while later it was heels.
    Lately it's been makeup & nails.
    I wonder what it will be next?

    Hugs, Connie Marie

    A must for me is the wig. I can get on without much else but without the wig the make up would look awful and everything else out of place!

    +1 on the hair. No wig breaks the illusion pretty fast.

    Has to be the wig. My real hair is pretty short and just kills any look I'm going for.

    Lacie - tricky... at one time it would just have been sheer nylons/ tights - but I admit I'm having more fun as things progress with makeup and wigs now.
    Ohhhh! And perfume. It's very well recognised how powerful an olfactory trigger can be - I'm having an experience with CK Escape at the moment... just a casual niff gets me going ... Just have to be careful as I have a wife who has rarely worn perfume (no, really - it's a bit strange, I know - sensitive skin...).

    Definite "transition" when the hair goes on.

    I have a fetish for high heels, but not for pantyhose/stockings. I LIKE them, but have no fetish for them. Still, I could never wear high heels without pantyhose/stockings.
    Likewise, I have no fetish for wigs. But I could not consider my transformation complete without a wig.
    Your question asked what was essential for a transformation. While I much prefer to transform completely, there have been many times when time didn't permit a complete transformation. In that case, "feeding the fetish" requires high heels (with pantyhose/stockings) and deep red lipstick.
