@Marie Claire Most, but taking two suitcases caught my eye because I just did it for the first time! Male professional by day followed by a professional makeover for Krista that night.
@kristacrawford1967 have packed for both several trips works great to have separate luggage. Unfortunately, next trip, Lorraine will only get an overnight case for 18 days.. so sad.☹️
Sounds like forever!
@kristacrawford1967 if she is lucky, Lorraine will be out for 1 day. My traveling companion ( wife), is not a friend of her.
Good idea!
It was fun. I identify in every item but I don’t let my hair grow (I love wigs) neither I wear pantis and bras under men’s clothes. It doesn’t have appeal to me. I completely understand those who do it. I do not have complete freedom to dress. It’s just a personal preference. When I wear feminine clothes I want to be and feel all woman.

You list several things that describe me, so, following your list. States the fact of already knowing that I’m a crossdresser, I knew that being introduced to crossdressing since age 4. Sadly I had a medical type of questionnaire that my doctor gave me to do. I came the closet in my early 30’s.

@Marie Claire Hi Marie signs confirmed at least 40 points for me. Has anyone ever participated in writing reviews for lingerie companies or being invited to try new products for free in exchange for a review. Thank you for your article nicely done ✅

I thank you for reading and appreciating my article! You got a great score!
Yes I have reviewed for Lingerie but have not been invited to try new products, I am Jealous 😊
@Julie Andrews I have written reviews for lingerie I bought (also other items like dresses and shoes) and have resultantly been updated about other femme items.
I score 48/50, by the way. (I can’t grow my hair long – but have a wig – and I have never had a professional bra fitting).
Love,
Katherine
