Early on, I had lot of help from an experienced CDer and a good friend who's a GG.
Now that I have enough experience and have things pretty much down pat, I don't really go to them for much help any more except for when we go shopping.
Hugs!

I love to see a beautiful woman in a nice dress, but then again, I also want to wear that dress.
I have several gg friends that have helped me over the years with overall fashion recommendations, accessorizing, makeup help, etc. One friend in particular works in the fashion business. She laughingly refers to herself as Jodi's fashion consultant. We will spend the entire day shopping, which is great fun. This girl knows her fashion and always presents with a stylish appearance. When shopping we will get each other's opinions on items we are looking at or trying on. When shopping with her, I am always in drab. She will not bat an eye at picking out an outfit, holding it up in front of me, and saying "you've got to try this on". She will then tell me which shoes, bag, and jewelry will really set it off. Nothing like having your own expert with you when shopping.
Jodi
Evies Mistress helps her dress and goes shopping with her. She loves taking her to new stores and making her try on dresses, shoes, bras and blouses in public stores, and then take her home to play with makeup and nails and dress up, etc.
We have a great deal of fun playing with makeup and trying new styles, and looks on each other.
I voted no, but lots of my friends here in the UK have used or continue to use dressing services - Jodie-Lynn, at the Boudoir, particularly seems able to generate a very strong 'gang' spirit and her girls are a close-knit family?
I think they're a good way to learn a lot, quickly - but IMHO it's great fun to learn how to do things for yourself, just like every other woman has to?

Today I packed a gym bag with some newly purchased clothes and jewelry and visited a cd friend of mine. She met me at the door decked out in a beautiful outfit. I had a wonderful time. We laughed alot. She taught me alot about applying make-up and I actually did a good job with the eye-liner. Thanks so much to my friend Dee Dee and to all those on this forum who share their knowledge and experience. love to all Toots
Nope. I do my own thang.
i just got back with my x wife after many years and we both live as ggs/ 24/7 and i love the fact that she is a hairdresser for me to have fun with when i need a new change and the strange thing is we get along better now me living as angela then as john and she also helped out with counsel and hormones so if a friend helps out dont feel weird just feel special love ya angela xxxxxxOriginally Posted by naughtyapril
Without my wife I'm sure my vision of being a woman would be a mess! Just tonight we talked about a detailed vision of dressing and how women talk about it (i.e. how they express themselves talking to each other). We also just relearned to gether that I am an apple shape, and horizontal lines on top are not flattering! This includes the two new tops I bought where the "boat" opening accentuated my broad shoulders too much (although they covered my strong arms!). We agreed that these would be relegated to the back of the closet, and that scrunchy ruffles of a peasant top was definately "out" for my wardrobe! But heck, she taught me all about makeup, thought it was neat that I went to the MAC counter to get color matched for foundation, concealer, and powder, and is just helping Tina look her best as we figure out who Tina really is! I'd be nowhere without my wife!!!!
Tina
I have a wonderful and dear CD sister who has helped me so very much. I still have lots to learn and am doing more on my own these days.
There is nothin' like a dame!
Does anyone have someone help them with their cd'ing?
Wouldn't bre lovely? She could help with blouses, bras, nighties, panties, slips. I have had continual fantasies about being helped for as long as I can remember
In a sense anyone who ever went to one of those transformation studios has had help (like me) but in the end it is all about my practicing the techniques.

I'm living proof that you can still get by without any help. The only special help I've had is from members from this site ~ for which I'll always be grateful.
Yes. I've been doing this (properly) for about 5 years now and my wife not only accepts but enthusiastically participates in the fun!

I had the same gg girlfreind for many years until she died after a long illness in 2005. She was a mentor to me. She taught me the basics of makeup,how to shave my legs,how to put on a pair of hose. We had a lot of shopping trips together and I would stay at her place often. This went on for 20 years or more. The last thing she did for me was to buy me a computer after she heard me carry on about how there's a lot of CD stuff on the internet.
I don't but I would love to have a good GG friend to play around with different looks and share tips and stuff.
I did/do a lot on my own. Clothing is all me. My therapist is/was amazed the first time I walk in as Kelli and to this day tells me I have amazing fashion sense.
As for makeup I struggled a bit for years. Coming close, but always feeling like I was missing something. I found a local GG Hairdresser/stylist about a year ago who sat me down and had a wonderful session. It was like getting the missing piece to a puzzle. To this day I still see her for new ideas and the fun of it. Along with doing my wigs. (My own hair is in the process of growing out though.)
Consider this most girls had other girls or mothers to show/guide them growing up. It doesn't hurt to have one yourself.
My wife loves to do my make up, pick out clothes, and wigs with me
Drumming, My other hobby
Nope,never have and probably never will either sadly.

Dear Julia just to let you know I think you look marvelous your wife must be very special. macjohn
I didn't vote because I only had help once and it was wonderful. It was another CD with a great deal of experience. She helped me with my makeup and my wig. I even had my picture taken and got to try on some of her extensive wardrobe.
Vieja
