Hello from the middle of a cow pasture in Virginia.

Don't get me wrong I've lived the suburban life far longer in some large sized mid-west cities too, but just prefer the slow, gentle life of country living.  I'm comfortable being a male who loves being feminine, and know dressing is more than just a phase for me.  After 30 years of keeping it hidden, for the love of my family, I decided I needed to finally explore being Cloughie (the spelling is more than just something cute).  It's been a swirling pink fog in the year since.

My wife has somewhat accepted this is how I am, but it's still touch and go as she fears there may be more drastic change to come.  Despite my assurances that I deeply love her and won't leave and the 30 yrs of marriage she's still doubtful.  Considering the shock of what she thought had previously just been a 20 something year olds passing fetish I can understand.  Maybe later I can talk more about our relationship, but out of love and respect I'll keep that to ourselves until she's more comfortable.

So here I sit, under-dressed, hoping to make some friends that I can relate to and hope that CDH is a better starting place than Youtube and Flickr.  I have committed to her that I wouldn't just randomly chat with people, so PM's and group chat's it will be for now.  Who knows, maybe with a positive experience I could get her to check out the SO's section.

Oh, and I've never really been one to take many pictures in general, choosing rather to live in the moment.  So I don't have much of anything to post, but recently picked up a small tripod so I can critique myself.   I have no idea what my style is other than I prefer classy over trashy!
