Remember a cheap wig looks like a cheap wig so don't expect a whole lot.
Try going out in the daytime its much safer.

Yes Tracii, thanks for the advice. I guess as in all things in life, you get what you pay for. I'll see what it looks like on. If it works, maybe I'll get something better. But I don't hold out too much hope, whatever the quality. I have a couple of other wigs and they look quite frankly terrible on me. So if there is any kind of style that actually makes me look other than a pug ugly woman, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
As for going out in the day? Maybe, but I would need to do it in a way that doesn't attract too many stares. And I think a man with a moustache wearing a dress would do that! At night, anything goes. And early morning is just quiet. I have no real worry about violence in Wien. As I've said before, it's the most unthreatening city I've ever know. In my heels, I'm about six foot five and several little men have scuttled by me looking - at least to me - a little too intimidated even to stare. So I guess, I'm not giving out the aura of a vulnerable woman.
Firstly well done on going out Mini...I'll echo Tracii on the cheap wig.. nothing is more likely to make someone look like a caveman than a cheap wig...second why dont you consider low 1" heels that would drop your height considerably...you certainly look the part in that dress... so low heels and a decent wig you may be amazed just how well you can blend in even at 6 foot.

Thanks Becky. I like to think that, even at fifty five, I'm still flexible and open minded. So, although I, in fact, hadn't considered wearing anything but stilettos - I so love them - maybe you're right. It might work to tone down the heels and try and get a realistic wig. That dress would only do at night though; it's very slinky. It didn't cost much either.
I have beautiful heels that are only 1.5 to 2" tops

Personally I don't need inspiration from others, my abundant self-motivation in life has sometimes been a burden rather than a blessing, but there are countless stories here of members who have been inspired by the forum so I guess you are just the latest. It's great for people to be inspired to be themselves, regardless of where the inspiration comes. I think your recent activities will be seen by others as the source of their inspiration so in a matter of weeks you have gone from being inspired to being the inspiring one. Well done you
Wow, nobody's ever called me inspiring before, especially for wanting to put on a frock. What a compliment; thank you Daisy.
I'm impressed! I just want to say one thing about your height, by way of an anecdote. My longest excursion dressed was a 5 hr trip into Manhattan to the Metropolitan Art Museum. As I went up the steps to the entry door, 5-6 young women passed me. They wore short skirts and had very long legs, each towered over my average 5'10" height. It was then I realized that male-female physique distributions overlap. You may feel tall, but you are just a tall woman. Think positive and just do it.
Mini, unless the moustache is so dear to your male side, or perhaps your SO just loves it to death, that you can't remove it, you can get the best wig in the world, but in daylight, you'll still be recognized as a man. If you want others to see you looking good in a frock, as you say, something's gotta give. I wonder what that might be, hmmm? Also a suggestion .. carry a smaller purse. Have fun!

I meant to add that this site has inspired me to do more CD related things then I could have ever imagined!
Yes Jenny, thank you, I realise that. And I'm considering getting rid of it. I've had it for eight years and it's sort of become my trademark. Although my SO isn't particularly fond of it actually.
The bag is just something old and worn out that I found. But coincidentally, my SO gave me two of hers the other day, which I think would be more to your liking.
The problem I have right now is that I'm now in Stockholm with no apartment organised yet. So my walks are necessarily very much on the back burner.

This is great. I've never been but have heard it said many times that Stockholm is an extremely tolerant city. You'll have fun I'm sureOriginally Posted by MiniRock
Actually, what I've seen so far, Stockholm is very beautiful, certainly more so than Vienna and possibly even Paris (although I doubt it'll surpass the later as my favourite). And today notwithstanding, I'm going to miss the marvellous Austrian climate.
As for tolerance, that sort of frightens me. Why? Because it sort of presumes I'll be heading out to the bars totally en femme at the next possible opportunity (to report my adventures on this forum - no pressure). And I'm not sure I've fully psyched myself up for that yet.
Indeed Mini, you need to get out before the winter or no-one will know what gender you are under all the superthick heavy coats etc
