    Vs fashion show.

    I'm watching the vs show tonight and yes I'm very attracted to all of the women.
    Wow are they cute but the more I watch the more depressed I get.
    I wish I could walk the runway like them I wish I could wear what they wear.
    It gets me so sad that some times I think l don't want to live this way any more.
    I'm 6 ft 2 and have a thin build now that I have lost a lot of weight. However I know I will never pass.

    I'm so sad on days like this I'm just so sad.

    For what it's worth, 99.9% of us (CD, TS, TG) here feel this way; but, equally tragically, so do 99.9% of genetic females. Hopefully we can each learn to love ourselves as we are. Hugs!!

    all my life i spent hiding feeling so bad for wanting to dress.us older cds didn't have the support that there is now hell i would have killed to have a site like this when i was younger. now that i finally accepted myself as a cd and given myself a name.i feel sad as if i lost my chance at looking fine.i find i stare at women to see what they wear.but the one thing i feel when dressed no matter how i look i feel like one of the pretty girls.it hurts at times but in my life i have found that i cant quit ,so i have to accept myself or go crazy we need to be there for each other

    Luckily I remembered it was on last night just in time, I was watching the Jets take another beating from the Colts on Monday Night Football, bored I hopped on Facebook for a second where I caught wind it was on, thank god. If anything I find that show inspiring, it reminded me to get in the gym LOL.

    It reminded me to work more on the body going into the clothes rather than just the clothes.

    But reality is most women dont look like them , let alone gals like us.

    I researched the stats on VS models...and you have to be at least 5.9 and like 120 ( and 120 is on the heavy side LOL) ...so yeah...at least we got the height thing down.

    Everyone is beautiful though, no matter what shape and size you are.

    almost all of us question or some days worse hate ourselves and purge everything only to buy it all back a few weeks or months later. I saw the show for a min too and moved on as I know I'll never thankfully be 110 lb cocaine fanatic like many of the models have to be in order to maintain that weight (ok I admit, that's an exaggeration). Unhealthy image for little girls and we should NEVER expect to be that size for most.

    Last night was a bad night for me too in general, emotions wise. Not because of the VS show mind you. I was completely disgusted with myself and the fact that I love to dress and today, I solved that by putting on what is now my avatar pic to the left. I feel amazing today. The emotions come and go and we each deal with them differently many time but we almost all go thru them.

    Just always remember you are not alone as long as you vent here. This site is intended I believe, as a safe place for us to come and share our feelings, our style, our loneliness at times, our joy, etc. It should and is a place (sometimes) for understanding and a kind word or 2 when really needed. We are all here as sisters to support one another in this crossdressing journey we all enjoy but are tormented by, sometimes daily.

    At least it's a place where we can share with out ridicule except why one would wear those shoes with that outfit is beyond me......jk

    I'm always around if you ever want to just vent. I'm a good listener and non of us should go thru this alone and hurting
    bi for now

    Flicking through the channels yesterday, I saw some of the male models in that cat walk, they certainly didn't move like anyone I have ever seen...

    It is terrible really, the images that fashion designers use to portray the ideal figure and ever likely that there are more and more young and teenage girls who have eating disorders are a direct reflection on the fashion industries ideals.

    Don't let a show get you down. Those models pay a price for what they do. They are not the normal GG. Way too many see something like that show and think they want to be in those models place. In reality most GG girls just don't walk and talk like the models do. I think they'd also be talked about more than a CD if they wore some of those costumes out in public on the street. I do know they they'd stampede my cow herd.... Lol

    I have had the opportunity to wear similar costumes as shown on the show, I look ridiculous so I tone it down a LOT.

    I can dream as well VS lingerie is not for me. :-)
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    While I envy those models, I feel no ill will towards them. If you've got it, flaunt it. If I looked like they did, I certainly would.
    Make the best of what you've got. That's all we can do.
    Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
    There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
    Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.

    Hi CDCD,
    The snack food industry specialized in engineering foods that took advantage of every physiological response they could find that would lead people to want more. This was so successful and snacking so widespread that now it is seen as normal and expected to eat snacks rather than real food. It's not.

    In just the same way, magazine covers ruin the lives every day of women by presenting false images [photoshop adjustments to the models] and promote this as the ideal. Real women do not look like the pictures, and we have to remember this with lingerie fantasy pics like the fashion show, and then do what women do, which is to enjoy the part that is real.

    I used to feel similar things, and reasoned, well, we all [cds and women] feel bad we can't look like them. This kind of depression is habit forming, by the way, and the cure is to stop doing it. When I looked really closely at the objects of unfulfilled desire, and thought ore objectively about it from the point of view of women, I realized it was a false ideal. That ade me mad- companies ruining so many people's self images, to get them to buy things that were not designed for their actual bodies!!#@

    My recommended therapy- dress as you please and enjoy how you look to yourself! Save your money and engage a friendly alterations specialist to make things fit. We need to reach for the things we can have rather than get depressed over the things we can 't have, and especially things literally no one who is not starved can have. It really helped me to look at the models carefully and ask if they looked like good relationship partners.

    I don't watch any more and avoid manipulative media- I'm too busy scanning the dress shops and lingerie racks for things I can enjoy!

    PS it is amazing what you can do with slightly oversize clothes and a needle and thread.

    I'm available to talk it out with you as well. Please don't spend another minute pining over the false.
    We are all beautiful...!

    Hey CDCD, reading your post I began wondering if there is something you can do. I'm not saying I really know how you feel, but I know first hand what depression can do to you. But even when everything is dark there is one thing you can do; and that thing is to decide what to DO about it. I'm about the same height as you, but has that stopped me wearing high heels? No way! I have no intention of passing, but has that stopped me from trying as good as possible wearing the clothes? No way! I am a man, but has that stopped me from wearing women's clothes? Hell no!

    I may be in the minority, but honestly those women on the runway do nothing for me. Maybe because there is no VS around here, maybe because I know a few ordinary women that just leave me stunned. The lingerie, on the other hand, would be a no-brainer of course.

    I have a board on the Pinterest full of pins with cute outfits I would want to try; surely there are some I may never have the opportunity to wear. But I can go out and look for clothes that are similar. You never know what your life brings you. Maybe you'll meet a woman and she would ask you to put a fashion show for her. Would that be enough? Maybe she will suggest you do a role reversal on Halloween and she will try her best to make you pass. Would that be enough?

    If you feel sad then allow yourself to feel it just a little longer. But please stop after a while and do something.

    When young I dated a couple fashion models. Both were extremely thin and young. Later I dated someone that left modeling to enjoy life. Today the models don't even look real. Most have had boob jobs and have virtually no body fat. I used to think VS had great lingerie, but today most of it isn't anything I would want. Just my opinion. Last time I was in VS it was filled with young teen girls.
