Hi girls;
As I’ve posted before, it has been my dream for Bettylou to have a Girls’ Day Out with my wife; but she doesn’t like to see me in a dress, and she worries about us being recognized if we go out together. That dream has now been fulfilled, though it had to happen in two parts. Last week, I spent the day with her at home, wearing my new birthday dress; and today, she finally went to a movie with me dressed en-femme. No dress. Instead, I wore black slacks with a black, floral pattern top, ballet flats, forms, shapewear, jewelry and light makeup. As we were leaving, her comment was “Congratulations, you look like a woman”. And when we returned and I was helping her change clothes, she remarked that I looked like a little old lady (which I took as a complement). Now that the ice has been broken, I’m hoping that this was only the first of many outings together.
Hugs,
Bettylou
Hello Bettylou
I am so happy to hear luv. I hope you get to enjoy many more en femme outings..
Hugs,
Natasha💋
So wonderful for you Betty. A night out with our wife is certainly a special occasion and one I too have been dreaming of. As my wife is supportive to a point she’s still not comfortable going out with me. Being outted or recognized from someone we know is her concerns and do understand . Its getting better but far from that special night. Its a big step and one I know your so pleased about.
“Honey would you like to go out to dinner? My treat, Oh let me get my purse ” always wanted to say that. Lol…

LOL, indeed! Actually, I did have to stop and grab my purse; it had the movie tickets in it.

Great progress Bettylou

Congratulations on your date. That sounds great. My first time out fully dressed with my girlfriend was incredibly scary. I had been out many times before but always in controlled situations and conditions I felt was safe. To be out fully femme at a shopping mall on a Saturday afternoon just seemed to be to much. I drove dresses to the mall. I was nervous just seeing all the people who could look in to my car.
When I parked, I didn’t want to get out of the car. She coerced me. I got out and walked to the mall entrance just looking straight ahead. The I opened the door and waked inside. I was totally petrified. So many people. I kept walking. The more I did, the more I relaxed. I began to look around. I was sure I saw people looking. Were they looking at a pretty young girl and a guy in a dress or two pretty, young girls? I was hoping the latter.
Once we began shopping, I became more focused on the clothes and less about the people who might be looking. Both of us got a lot of new clothes and it was a very exciting and fun day. After that we began going out as girlfriends a lot. We found we had more fun when we did.
Hopefully you will get to do it a lot.
Thank you, Autumn, being a girl is so much fun that I never want to stop.
Thank you, Alice; it was a small date, but a big occasion for us.
Hi BettyLou
Wonderful – lovely to hear that you are getting some acceptance and support.
As she said, you dressed in a stye that blended in with all the other women out and about, so she was comfortable being seen with you, just continue to develop that style and look at what she and others are wearing. I tend to wear trousers or jeggings when out with my partner most of the time, depending on the venue and activity we are doing, so we tend to complement each other. There is a time and a place for dresses and finery, and we dress accordingly,
Your partner deserves a big act of random kindness to show your appreciation
onward and upward ! (and post some photos !)
hugs Dawn x
Thank you, Laura,
First dates are always memorable, but this one was special for us.

Hi Betty Lou
This is so huge!
I am so happy for you.
I hope you were walking on cloud nine.
It couldn’t happen to a better person.😁
Patty
Thank you, Patty; yes, I was on Cloud 9, and it was pink. I can hardly wait to see what our next outing will be.
Hugs,
Bettylou
Congratulations! That must have been so amazing. And it’s wonderful that your wife affirmed that you looked feminine.
Yes, Diana, those words were music to my ears.
Hugs,
Bettylou
Thank you, Heather; I’m already asking her where can we go out, next?
Hugs,
Bettylou
Bettylou that sounds like it was wonderful. I would have loved to see the smile on your face!! Hummimg Shania Twains’ I Feel Like a Woman ….. 😄. Good for you hon!
Stevie
Yes, it was, Stevie; but I was humming (off-key) “I Enjoy Being A Girl”, from “Flower Drum Song”.
Hugs,
Bettylou
Congratulations Bettylou. It looks like your wife has a similar concern to most of us CDs. A fear of being found out and being humiliated. Many of us have a hard time convincing ourselves that others are so busy in their own world that they don’t notice us, or if they do notice they don’t care.
Of coarse it is a little different for a partner but still similar. Now that she has seen that at least sometimes a good result can come and how happy it can make you, she will be ready to help you to explore the world together.
I’m so happy for you. Sandy
Thank you, Sandy; it will be a long time – if ever – before she accepts me in a dress, but we are already talking about where to go for our next outing.
Hugs,
Bettylou
That’s wonderful, Bettylou.
Congratulations Bettylou! What a magical day it must have been for you. I can’t wait to have an experience like this with my wife. Savor the memory!
HI Marie,
Yes, it was a magic moment; and it got even better. She has since gone out to lunch with Bettylou – something she has refused to consider in the past. I’m on Cloud 9 (pink, of course).
Hugs,
Bettylou
True, DeeAnn,
She still insists that it’s “wrong” for me to wear women’s clothes, even as I’m helping her get into a pair of jeans. But as long as she keeps telling me I look good when Dressed, I don’t mind what else she says. And since the movie date, she has gone to lunch with Bettylou.
Hi Diane,
I suppose it does, but who cares? Now, can I tell you about the “Good Old Days, when I wasn’t old and I often wasn’t Good? LOL
Hugs,
Bettylou
When I was a kid, my mother and aunt would take me to the movies whether I wanted to go or not. Had to dress up, too, like going to church. I remember seeing Flower Drum Song in the theater and hating every minute because, at the time, I had no appreciation for musicals. I felt the same way about West Side Story.
What did I know?!?!
Yes, DeeAnn; In the days before TV, I almost lived in the movie theaters, and I didn’t care for musicals either….until I got a crush on Doris Day. Quickly learned to love them.
Hugs,
Bettylou

I’ll have to think about it as offhand I don’t remember when things changed for me. However, I do remember another sone from the movie: A Hundred Million Miracles. Even though I didn’t like musicals at the time, something must have latched in there!?!?
I’m pretty sure my love of musicals began with “Tea for Two”, 1950. Hollywood was making films set in the ’20s, and I went to them all, just to hear the music. And I remember admiring the ladies’ dresses…I still love the Flapper look.
