Our spouses just don't get it. They are allowed unlimited access to the wonderful world of clothes but that avenue of pleasure is firmly closed off to us. The first time I managed to dress completely from head to toe (apart from not having shaved my legs, plucked my eyebrows and elsewhere, and painted my nails and had a spritz of perfume), aided by a GG friend, I took one look in the mirror and almost swooned as I saw myself for the first time as I imagine myself to be. How can anything that feels so good be so bad?<br />I've not dressed for 12 years - but not a day goes by that I don't dream of it. <br />G Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-52466338167455098562019-09-28T07:10:36.624-04:002019-09-28T07:10:36.624-04:00Thanks so much Marie, your adventures are similar ...Thanks so much Marie, your adventures are similar to so many of my own. The road each of us takes to feminine maturity, which I like to equate to self-acceptance and confidence, is very interesting, and helps to mold us into the women we become.Sally Stonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-4950111065354136492019-09-27T05:38:16.545-04:002019-09-27T05:38:16.545-04:00Marie

So much of ...You write with elegance and precision.<br />So much of what you describe resonates with me as well I am sure other readers here at Femulate.<br />Each recollection and incident you describe brings to mind one similar in our minds,<br />Wearing our wives clothes, hotel parking lot walks, drunks, traffic accidents, police, fear of exposure, self imposed denial, purging, and Halloween<br /><br />This line says it all.<br />“Many, if not all of us have been conditioned by society for a period of 20-30-40 years to suppress our inner feelings and inclinations. This includes the full spectrum ranging from physical, emotional, intellectual, moral and social.”<br />“baby steps into the unknown, often with a deep sense of trepidation and fear of disclosure, humiliation and potential loss of job and family.”<br />Yes FEAR<br />"Oh yes, although he has a few issues." I took this to be an implied threat.--- Been there got the t-shirt<br /><br /><br /> what is so powerful about your writing is that it speaks to us in a language that we only understand. Like a stranded tourist in a far away place there is comfort and security when we hear our familiar tongue.<br />This is what creates a bond with us, just like blood siblings who share a family, this is our family and our life time of experiences and we must remember that and be joyful and respect and love each other.<br />Paula_56https://www.blogger.com/profile/09762340959679940655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-35447894769665257692019-09-24T15:05:23.932-04:002019-09-24T15:05:23.932-04:00OH!
