Karen Marie's Beginnings Story

[Karen Marie]

my father was never very nice to my mom and me.he left when i was 12.
my mom worked all day and i had plenty of time alone.i new that i wanted to wear girls clothes more than anything. one morning i got up and decided to shave my legs.i put on a pair of her panties,a silky blouse, a pleated skirt,white anklesocks and her black patent leather skimmers. i was thrilled looking at myself in the mirror.the exhilaration made me very tired. i fell asleep on the couch. i awoke to see my mom sitting next to me.i thought i would die from embarrassment.she put her arm around me telling me that it was allright to play dressup. she encouraged my cding.

Hi Karen,

At the beginning of your story I felt bad, but I realized there was only an upside after the first couple of sentences.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi Karen,

You have a terrific mom. Mine had a breakdown every time she caught me, and that was frequent.

[Karen Marie]

josey, its so sad that your mom felt that way.it must have been very
disheartening for you.i was so fortunate having a supportive mother.

when i was a teen my favorite outfit was a white sailor blouse with a
navy blue tie,anavy blue pleated skirt just above the knee,white ankle-
socks and black skimmers with straps.i went out a lot with my mom dressed this way.we had so much fun together. now i prefer more casual
clothes,shorts,i really love capris,especially denim ones with cuffs just
below the knee.i wear them with socks and a variety of shoes.

i should have mentioned that i have the same outfit now that i still
enjoy wearing.actually my SO likes me to wear it too.i appreciate
femininity more,realizing that it is a blessing,not a curse.its like seeing
and feeling both gender sides.
