In the early days of our dressing journeys, as we perhaps make those first tentative steps out, it's sometimes too easy to get caught up in the moment, the desire to express ourselves, that we do stupid things.
I was thinking back possibly three decades when I'd dress in the car at night and go for a drive. We talk about using darkness to hide in but this night it was also foggy.
I pulled into a lay by with the view of just stepping out and walking around the car. Remember these were my earliest days. Before I could a car pulled up behind me as flashed it's lights. I must admit to being a bit panicked and quickly drove off only to be followed by the other car. What I hadn't realised was this lay by was a meeting place for Gay men!
I started to drive quicker. The fog was dense, visibility a few yards, the car behind sped up as well. I went faster, still with me. The road we were on was a dual carriageway and before long both of us were doing suicidal speeds, overtaking sensible slow moving traffic that must have thought us both mad or reckless beyond belief.
Thankfully my pursuer chickened out and slowed down and I was able to turn off the road into a side lane without my pursuer seeing me.
I could have killed myself and/or others that night. It was a valuable lesson for me in dressing and going out and being safe.
So, if you're new here and us more experienced hands say, "Not a good idea", it's most likely we've already got that tee shirt.
Your turn, what's the most daft or down right stupid thing you've done when dressing.
