Then your only limitation will be how thick your skin is, how brave you are and how much confidence you have. If you dress like a hooker, like it and can deal with looks and maybe comments, then go for it. Now I may not want to be around you when you are dressed like that unless maybe we are going to a place where that is the norm like a club, but that should not limit you to what you want to do. In other words, you should only be limiting yourself unless what you are doing is illegal, or that you decide to do that yourself. So, enjoy life, experiment, find yourself and your style or styles and have a lot of fun doing it. I do.
Yeah, Allie, I'd definitely go along with this, too. It's basically up to each girl to find herself. Some of the girls on this forum might be going in a direction I wouldn't go myself, but I have no problem with that because, as I say, you have to find yourself. I'll confess that I myself like pretty, frilly stuff--stuff that most GG's wouldn't be caught dead in. But I don't apologize for that. My initial expression of this long repressed side of myself may be exaggerated, but that's just an effect of repression. If I get the time and freedom to explore, no doubt my self-expression will evolve and mature. But most people don't live what we've lived through--this concerted, desperate attempt to close off and deny a part of yourself. They shouldn't judge us too harshly because they have no way of understanding what we've been through.
