Hello from Brighton, UK!

I drove down in ladies jeans, trainers, green t-shirt and suit jacket, hoping I'd look stylish.

On arrival, it was no effort getting out of the car in the quiet car park, and finding my way to the Lanes, a famous shopping area.

I enjoyed the walking after having been stuck in the car for so long, I took a detour via the Pavilion and sea front, but thought I'd save the beach for after I'd checked into my hotel.

My outfit felt amazing and natural. I had a few looks, mostly smiles, but on the whole, hardly a second glance or a word from anyone.

I dropped into a coffee shop to let nature take its course, browsed a few shops, then went back to the car to change jeans and t-shirt for a button down dress.

This is having more impact! People are smiling and saying hello, and noticing me more - not in a bad way either.

I've stopped at a Vegetarian restaurant called food for friends, and ordered a burger.

So far, I've only been treated like I'm a friendly human being. It's odd that the dress makes a difference - it's quite an old fashioned BHS one, but I've noticed that quite a few women dress like this and look lovely.

I wonder what people's reactions will be when I have makeup on. The guy who was supposed to be doing my makeover never got back to me, so I assume he's too busy.

Yup.

No makeup, fully femme, busy city centre.

I love the summer!

More to follow - I packed my swimsuit, and there's an amazing LBQT club just on the seafront that's calling my sparkly dress . :0)

A little bit of light shopping, and back to the hotel.

A dab of makeup - just some primer, foundation, cheekbone highlights, lippy and mascara.

And a change of outfit.

I went to the seafront and onto the pier. It's so windy, and there were lots of women doing a Marilyn, in very short skirts.

I thought it looked tremendous fun, so selected my shortest skirt (Not very short - just above the knees, but very, very floaty), a flowery blouse and the suit jacket.

Happy with the look, I walked out of the hotel feeling a bit glam.

I got so many big smiles, mostly women, but men too, one man shaking my hand, and another, a CD with his daughter, who appeared to be comforting him, came up to me and just said "Thank you".

I'm not sure what I did, but am so happy that I did!

The wind on the pier played absolute havoc with my skirt, but I made a subtle show of keeping it under control, as women all around me were doing - and got so many big, open-mouth smiles and giggles - it was really lovely sharing the experience. It made me realise that many women really enjoy it, but it's their own experience that matters.

I got some chips and coffee, and sat a while, watching the waves and the people, so many people doing a delighted double take, and a few with nice comments. No-one so far has had anything detrimental to say - and it's not like I'm a looker, because I'm not. Very much a work in progress.

Anyhow, I felt I wanted to check in. Now I'm going to have a short nap, after all that walking, then I'm going to scrub up and visit some of the interesting night life. But easy on the cocktails, as I have an early start back tomorrow.

Who needs a makeover anyway... just be yourself! People like it.

Love Laura

My darling girls.

Forgive me for posting drunk.

I have just had the evening of my life - the best time since meeting my wife.

I met myself. And I like myself.

This is not a normal state of mind for (male) me.

I met so many truly lovely people.

A disillusioned drag queen, who became my constant companion.

A girl, celebrating her 21st birthday, who insisted on putting glittery stars all over my face and hands.

Many lesbian women, who loved what I was doing.

So many people who loved my dress and wig.

It was almost overwhelming, and I danced with so.e beautiful straight and lesbian women - and the gay and straight men got me almost instantly.

It was like total acceptance, and love just for the moment, not for any personal features.

I am almost in tears.

I had no idea that there are so many beautiful people out there.

I danced until my feet ached. I had no idea I could dance in heels, but I loved it.

On the way back to the hotel, women stopped me to admire my dress and talk. They were all so lovely.

I only wish I could have shared this amazing experience - do risk the M25! It's really, really special here.

Shame I'm going home in the morning, but at least my wife booked me breakfast!

Night night.

Love

Laura

Hi Laura, well done girl! What a wonderful trip away. I have just returned from a holiday in Aussie with my lovely wife. Three weeks in femme clothes and with makeup every day. She doesn’t like me in dresses and wig in public so it’s femme shorts, or jeans and girly t shirts and tops with femme sandals. And bangles, gold necklace too.  (It’s warm in Queensland in the winter.)

We did a lot of womens shopping as girlfriends too which we both enjoy. I bought several blouses and a fab lace skirt amongst other things. In and out of the dressing rooms trying on lots of outfits. We are almost the same size so I tried on her dresses too!

I only wish that she can become comfortable enough for me to go full femme in public with her. Time will tell.

So it was thrilling to read your story and share in your delight. Thankyou so much for letting us all enjoy your happiness.

hugs, Gigi

The state of inebriation will pass quickly. The state of euphoria will take a little longer. Such a wonderful experience! Makes one ecstatic to be alive…. and a crossdresser!

I'm so glad you had a fabulous time Laura, and shared it with us here!   Shame about the makeover, but it sounds like you radiated enough happiness to make yourself beautiful anyway.

I really ought to visit Brighton again.  The last time I went was over 30 years ago when it was somewhat rundown looking and drunken youths were on the seafront.  I've heard many good things about it since, especially its LGBT+ scene.

This morning was delightful.
<p style="text-align: left;">I awoke in the slip nightie I had retired in... obviously, but one forgets such details and  waking up to essentially discover that one is clad in silky, stretchy nylon from shoulder to knee, it's such a delicious discovery to make.</p>
I was tempted to go down for breakfast like that... but there are limits!

Instead, I opted for a nice linen Marks and Spencer day dress - ideal for a Sunday morning.

However, during my morning vape, which had to be outside due to hotel rules, I discovered that the temperature was a  bit higher than I expected.

So after breakfast, I changed into a beautiful Broderie Anglais sundress, and headed for the beach.

Strolling along the promenade was like a fantasy. The dress made all the difference. The wind was not as strong, so just few gentle puffs keeping the dress moving, like a living meringue. I've always loved seeing women wearing these dresses, and it seemed the good people of Brighton shared my passion!

Everywhere I went, I saw smiles, and people came up to me and said they thought I looked lovely - one woman could tell I wasn't sure, and took my hand and said "Really Beautiful".

And this was 8am on a Sunday morning.

These people were cleaning the shop fronts, preparing cafes and food shops - hard at work. Why would they crack a smile at a weird tall man in a dress except for ridicule.

Ridicule is what most of us expect.

I don't know what I expected, but I had chosen outfits that I had seen on women which filled me with joy, and when I wore them, I felt similar joy - perhaps a bit better, since I was the wearer!

When I saw my reflection in shop windows, I thought I'd made a reasonable attempt, but so much work to do!

On the way back from the beach I did have the realisation, with the sun in a slightly different direction, that the white dress is a bit more see-through than I had appreciated in my hotel room... but I have loved see through dresses on women, particularly women who bothered to wear pretty underwear, and was prepared for a little transparency with lovely pink bra and knickers. All the same, I wasn't really prepared for seeing a reflection of myself looking like that!

I have so many fantastic memories of fantastic people I met last night.

Three girls stand out. One a woman, out withher daughter and friends for a 27th birthday. The woman chatted to me for a nice long time, and, like many others, offered to buy me a drink. If I had drunk all the drinks I'd been offered, I would have probably never made it back!

Another girl was dressed in an evening suit, and had such a striking, commanding appearance that I willingly let her twirl me on the dance floor - I felt almost helplessly captivated, except for the deep thanks to my wife for arranging this trip, which strengthened my bond to her immeasurably.

Another was a short haired bi girl in a peasant type outfit, who called herself Bee, and kept returning to me for lengthening chats. Ultimately we danced together until I decided my feet couldn't take any more.

I looked for my drag queen friend of earlier, but he had gone home.

I gave Bee a grateful peck on the cheek, and accepted her hug, then limped back to the hotel, kicking off my heels in order to accelerate my progress.

I really hope that by sharing this adventure, I have inspired at least one person to push their public dressing into a new dimension. To help you accept yourself better, and to help the general public accept cross dressers as ordinary people - or maybe, slightly extraordinary people. I felt a bit like an ambassador for our community, with responsibilities to raise awareness not only of our existence, but of the positive impact we can have.

I only saw 4 other cross dressers.

Two were gay men who had substituted trousers for skirts, and applied some lippy, one was a bearded gay man in a short, union Jack t-shirt dress, and the odd cross dressed man with his apparent daughter who thanked me for something!

I liked the Broderie Anglaias dress so much, I checked out an drove almost all the way home in it.

Made the M25 misery a lot more bearable!

I know this is kinda sketchy, note form, but I want a written record to refer to for next time.

My lovely wife has said I should do this once a month...

Who's available in September?

Love Laura

Yes! It's like a pink, fluffy cloud 9 made manifest. I set hard limit of what I definitely was and was not going to do, and "working" in those constraints yielded dividends far greater than I could imagine.

I'm going to set some rules for next time...

Like I must buy an item of clothing and or jewellery... IDK, I may take requests, lol!

Love Laura

I really, really hope it inspires someone else to push their own boundaries and help normalise cross dressing in the community.

There are too many unhappy men hiding away for no good reason.

There are plenty who are happy hiding - and that is fine too!

Love Laura
