Today, my wife and I went to Exeter, to the cathedral, to have a look at a 7 metre sculpture of the moon. This piece is being moved all over the world from Toronto Canada, to New Plymouth New Zealand, plus many more. It even has its own website: search for my-moon.org. It's been doing the rounds since 2016.
On the dressing side, today has probably been my most successful day blending in. I did not get a single second look that indicated I might have been clocked and while I was sitting down in a Marks and Spencer café, my wife looked at me from where she was getting the coffee and subsequently said that, certainly at that short distance, she would never have thought I wasn't a woman.
Now she may have been being nice but she's not known for holding back when it comes to my dress style and will always tell me when something doesn't go with something else. Mind you, I don't need her advice much anymore.
One of the pictures is here: https://www.crossdresserheaven.com/photo/the-moon-at-exeter-cathedral/
I love going out dressed so much, it is such good fun.
Cheers
A Happy Becca
Thanks for posting this, Becca, it's obvious from your writing that you enjoyed it.
Good picture too, but some classy lady's photobombed you 😂😂
@rebeccabaxter - nice photo. Great Afghan. Do you get stuff from White Stuff at all? I would think they have some things that would go with your style.
@sunnyday The coat was from Marks and Spencer, the skirt from Edinburgh Woollen Mill, the scarf, I don't remember. Black top from Next, boots from Shoezone and wig from Simply Wigs, bag from Fat Face. Perfume is Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, most of the facial makeup came from Boots and various manufacturers. Glasses from Tigerspecs (they are bifocal reading glasses)
Oh no, I'm an 'influencer'

@rebeccabaxter What a fulfilling, validating day - no wonder you're happy 🙂 And your wife is quite right, the photo shows exactly what she was talking about.
There are more than one of the Moons touring. It turns out that Saturday is the best chance to see it in my area, too.
@finallyfiona You'd think they'd have the whole solar system on tour; Venus might be a bit boring though. What's the weather on Venus today? Very cloudy and warm with an acid shower or two.
Thank you for the compliment.

Looking at the picture of you in the cathedral who would guess? You are confident and natural so why would anyone think otherwise.
Our concern about looking natural and right and passing undetected is understandable of course, but has anyone ever noticed just how many ladies are walking round with somewhat masculine features, so actually don't themselves appear to be so natural or right? I happened to notice this on one female individual some months ago and since then have kept an eye open for this phenomenon. It is surprisingly common. In many cases I would have found it quite easy to convince myself that the lady I was looking at or talking to was actually a man in a dress, -in the very worst sort of amateur way that we here try so hard to avoid. I know they can't help it but these girls can sometimes look less convincingly female than many of our members who we see on photographs sent in to CDH. I'm sure that having such masculine features must sometimes be dismaying to the ladies who carry them and they do have my sympathy, but it's interesting to make comparisms between the high quality we can achieve and what the female world has walking round as its representatives. If you are bothered about passing undetected then I would suggest having a look at what does sometimes pass as female in this world. I reckon that would go a long way towards making us feel more confident.
The more confident you become, the more natural you act. I have always believed that being confident is the number one factor as to whether someone will be accepted as a female by the general public. Of course clothing, mannerisms and make-up are important but if you exude confidence in who you are, people will pick up on that confidence and they will, in turn, be more confident in welcoming you as a trans person.
And you're right, being out dressed as a woman is indeed fun as well as a very interesting experience.
Becca -
You look beautiful in your picture. What a lovely day out for you. I'm sure when your wife made that comment you were ecstatic to hear her say that. I can only dream that something like that would happen for me, I do hold onto hope though.
XOXO

@cdsue Beautiful might be pushing the word a bit, but I thank you so much for the sentiment 😀 .

Lovely womanly photo of you Becs 💚
Did you get to see the Knife Angel when it did its tour around the country? Amazing to see it up close.
@valentina16 Thank you Valentina. No, I haven't heard of the Knife Angel but have looked it up just now; quite impressive.
Did see The Man Engine though, that was pretty spectacular. It came very close to where I live.
As Ray Davies of The Kinks says, "Its amazing what you do with the right attitude".
You got it girl.
It's a great photo Becca, you look so comfortable and confident.
@annaredhead I feel that too; it no longer worries me going out dressed. I am either getting confident or blasé but I dressed this afternoon in full Becca mode and stayed that way when I went outside to get my washing in. One of my neighbours, a couple of doors away saw me and said hello, I returned the greeting. She hadn't seen me dressed before, neither has her husband, although I had told him some time ago that I dressed (he probably forgot, he's not the sharpest tool in the box and anyway, he and his wife don't talk to each other very much). I didn't engage in further conversation and carried on with my business.
Early this evening, I went to take the dog to my garden for a pee and my immediate neighbours were outside, with one of their friends, having a cigarette. I spoke with them for some ten minutes about theatre, TV streaming services and other subjects. None of them seemed at all bothered that I was standing there in wig, forms, skirt and boots. I think the secret is that from the very beginning after they moved in (just a couple of weeks ago) I decided I wasn't going to hide. Our houses connect, every time they come out of their back door, they can see into my kitchen and there was no way I was going to skulk around with my blinds drawn for the rest of my life. I have just had to 'go for it'. It's such a relief that they are ok with it, it certainly makes life a lot easier.

@rebeccabaxter Isn't it a wonderful feeling when other people treat you as just another "lady"? It never gets old at all. Fiona
