At the end of last year, as I was looking at my public photos on CD Heaven, it dawned on me that they depicted my past CD journey and not how I look in the present.
They had been taken through the years, and sorry to say, I’ve aged. I’m amused at seeing a bio photo that was taken 30 or more years previously and it looks nothing like the person today. Looking at my photos, I had to acknowledge that I was guilty of the same false advertising. So, as a New Year’s resolution, 2024, I decided to switch to more current photos; ones I’ve taken in the last four years.
Ladies, the shocking truth is, that I’ve gone gray, meaning that I’ve purchased several new wigs. The gray wigs go well with my “Mature” face, and I’ve gotten nothing but compliments. They also work much better in public, as I don’t think I’m as closely scrutinized with gray hair. Some of the new wigs are shorter, and it took some time to adjust to them, as they are a new look for me.
I stopped photographing myself every time I dressed long ago. At the time, I did it for my own encouragement, but I no longer need that reassurance. I am out so often now that I can’t be bothered. I am secure in expressing my femininity anywhere that I choose to go.
However, I have found that taking a few photos of me wearing a new wig, a different look, has helped me to adjust to it. The shorter wigs show much more of my face, and so, instead of fretting about them, I’ve decided to embrace the lines on my face. Women my age, over 70, (Yikes!) have age lines.
And, with an older look, I use much, much less makeup. I can go from zero to out the door in less than an hour. (Half of that time is trying to put in my contacts!) I can honestly tell you that it is working very well.
Curiously enough, I find that some people have been acting differently around me now when shopping. On several occasions, a woman has come up to me, out of the blue, and complimented me on my hair or my clothes or said to me, “I wish I could wear that.†For the rest of that day, I’m on cloud nine. I’m never sure if they see me as a crossdresser, probably not at first, but I must look nice enough for them to approach and engage me in conversation. I’m sure the older look sends out a different vibe and perhaps they understand and appreciate the effort that I put into it.
IÂ work at keeping a thin figure, which affects how people potentially judge me. My wardrobe has also matured and the dresses and skirts I buy now are below the knees, midis and maxis, long tunics, leggings, and pant sets. I am not a wallflower and enjoy wearing bright colors and designs, which makes me stand out, and I know this also sends out a visual message.
So, I’ve changed my profile photo to a new short gray look, and I might even venture into pure white in the future. And my longer wigs will be for winter.
A late start cross dresser, but am out in the world now going to shows, shopping, dinners and traveling. Enjoy meeting for dinner or events with other cross dressers.
Cross dressing Through the Ages I have not been a cross-dresser for that many years. I note that for a lot of girls on here, and other sites/clubs, dressing en femme is a life-long thing. Some seem to have very early memories of dressing in sister’s clothes at six ye...
