This term MAID is a curious one. I'm sure it would be much harder to go about in public as a MAID than fully en femme. And yet I somehow don't have a problem with it, even if Joe Public might. Your look works really well for me, beard et al Phili. And Conchita (I presume everyone on this forum is familiar with her) seems to me to epitomise the art of cross dressing.

I take your remarks as an enormous compliment, by the way. And I think you're somehow right about how I feel in a frock. This picture, taken on the same night as the others, illustrates your point (sorry about the vanity):
