My story is like so many other ladies. I started feeling the urge to dress at an early age. I found myself first touching and then trying on my mother and sister’s clothes. I usually felt shame, because as a child of the 60’s, this kind of behavior was taboo. I knew I...
Patricia needed to go shopping today. I had some errands to run, so they were done in drab. I am not ready to go out fully dressed. I decided to go as compromised Patricia. I had on my copper wig, ladybug dangly earrings, makeup (mascara, lipstick and powder), and wearing a sweat...

As I was approaching my 60th birthday, I vowed I would finally go to Ulta and get make up that was geared towards my skin tones. I never really wore anything other than blush, lipstick, and mascara as they are rather generic. Having been a crossdresser since I was five (my mother...
I had been a customer since my late teens; I bought my first bra there. Over the years, I became a regular customer, secretly purchasing various items for Faye’s “hidden” wardrobe. Back then, the owner, Mrs. Thompson was in her late 60’s. That was 50 years ago; I ...
I haven’t quite developed the confidence to just go out anywhere and do anything en femme, but I’m trying to edge towards that. Most times when I’ve been out, it’s been walking around my neighborhood after about 2 am and before 5 am. In other words, there&...
My earliest memories of cross dressing are circa primary school days. There was a trunk full of women’s clothes in the garage of our home; I seem to remember enjoying getting the dresses out and putting them on. My Mother also had an old pair of bathers in our laundry and when ...
Thank you for the nice comments to the first part of my article. There are many other things I had to learn by myself, or from talking to friends about their own experiences when going out, and some I learned by watching women in my life doing what they do; first my mom, then my ...
Some things my Mother never thought she’d have to tell me about

Like most of us, I remember growing up and taking chances to find moments to be me. I would go into my sister’s room and wear one of her dresses, even for just a minute. Later on in life, living by myself, I had more chances to dress up. I realized I didn’t know much about cl...
Having kept Rebecca a secret for so many years, when I retired last October I knew that it was time to give her freedom. I began by visiting Manchester in the north of England for a few days. I took more female items (clothes, makeup and shoes) than male. I was still rather secre...
Hi everyone! I wanted to share something that happened to me a couple of months ago. First, let me briefly give you some history. I began thinking about crossdressing around the age of 13. I noticed that women had so many products made for them to look pretty, look sexy, smell go...
I have dressed for many years. It has, however, always in private and by myself. Genivieve was the perfect example of the phrase, "all dressed up and no place to go"! That, however, was soon to change.
When MacKenzie made the decision to embrace and explore her femininity, she never imagined how far she would come in a short time. When her journey began, she could not even walk outside without jumping out her skin. Yet, despite her growth, she had actively avoided excursions ...
Having experienced the beauty and wonderful feelings of being who she is, Rachel continues her journey of exploration and self-acceptance. Though she may not be ready to venture downtown, Rachel did want to take the next step.

The ability to "fly away" because I know I can is a blessing to my psyche and a curse to whatever hopes I continue to hold for romantic fulfillment.
Looking around the room I didn't think I had a chance but if the previous 24 hours and taught me anything it's that it is worth taking chances.
There was no angry mob with pitchforks but there were many people milling around getting ready to go out...He had called me ma'am!
I was more than a little excited... During those months I changed my mind about attending the ball every second day but my resolve held out.
I thought I had done the wrong thing. But after I calmed down, my confidence increased. Finally, I stepped out of the car and headed for the entrance...

New{ish} to CD May 18, 2019
Hello, this is my very first post; I just joined the other day. I truly don’t know where I’m going with my crossdressing. I recently turned 65 and am retired, happily too. I must add, healthy and fit as few people take me for my age. I have many interests that keep me...
