Self-isolating has offered lots of opportunities to dress at home, yet there are some virtual meetings I have where some people are not familiar with Lorie. Tough. I dress anyway. Sometimes I even have a hint of makeup on.
This morning I woke in time for church. No, not in person, but my spiritual center was going to Facebook live stream. I decided I would dress up for the event, even if it was from my office and no one could see me. So I went all out, with a generous touch of makeup. It was so much fun!
I think I'm going to do that more often these next few weeks as I attend and lead many Zoom meetings. I'll think about what I would like to wear for each one and dress accordingly. Then see if I feel free to do the makeup. Nails are already painted!
Can you find some opportunities to dress with purpose this week? I'd love to hear your stories.
The Coronavirus has put a complete stop to my dressing. My girlfriend is home all the time now and doesn't want to see me dressed. I don't have any other options at the moment. Once the lockdown is lifted things will get better. I have a bunch of new outfits I can't wait to wear!

Hey Lorie! Me too. Had most of last week to myself here at the house - got in two full days and a 1/2 day dressed with makeup as much as I wanted. Fantastic - but short-lived. Wifey's work is going "work from home" three days a week from here on, so my fun days are considerably more limited this next week. Ah well, can't have everything! I did order some new shoes . . .

Emily, I'm so sorry to hear that! That stinks! I hope you get back to your time to express yourself soon.
Mikey, two days a week isn't too bad.... Hang in there! Sometimes we get spoiled and we just want MORE! lol.
Hi Lorie! I know you're right, but I was SOOOO looking forward to having an entire week of complete days - different outfits, wigs, shoes (and bras and panties too!). I should probably do some actual work, right?
Thanks for understanding!

I have been living as Alison for the most part for a week and a half now. A few days I had to remove my breast forms or wear jeans or leggings for part of the day. If the weather is bad I might not put on makeup or my wig (my hair is long enough that I only need bangs anyway), or if I get up really late, might not shave.
A few days after this quarantine began, my religious community decided to have virtual services over Zoom. We skip some prayers that require a physical quorum, and make an exception because of the circumstances for some memorial prayers which normally also require a physical quorum.
As I have been dressed most days in feminine tops or dresses most of the time, and with breast forms in place, I chose to join the services by voice only. Partly because of how I am dressed, partly because I don't want to project my camera when I can't see what it may be projecting, partly because I need a full screen on the tablet plus enlarging just to be able to see the prayers. On my phone it would be too small, on my computer I'd be off camera anyway to sit in front of my larger monitor, and I can follow along without having to have only half of my screen.
I'm a prominent member of my religious community, and I'm not about to come out to them as a crossdresser. I'm not going to change what I'm wearing for the service and then change back. So for me the dial-in option on Zoom has been my best choice. I miss seeing them, and I'm sure it's the same the other way around, but that's the way it has to be.
Alison, I get what you mean about not coming out to my spiritual community. I've come out to a few people in mine, but not everyone. It's a very accepting community, but for some reason I'm afraid to start dressing in obvious ways. Actually, I'm wearing most if not all women's clothes when I go to church now, but not skirts or dresses, no makeup or hair. I'm growing my natural hair longer, and I usually wear a necklace and/or a bracelet, and often I'm wearing nail polish. The people who know Lorie can see her in these little ways, but I don't know if others are getting the idea. But one thing I've learned, women notice EVERYTHING! They probably know more than they're letting on.
My plan had been to teach a workshop on the alphabet soup LGBTQIA and come out at that time. It was going to be June (Pride month), but everything's on hold for now. That being said, since so many things are being moved online with Zoom, I could easily do it that way.... Hmmmm....
