A Gift From The Gods

Post by Marda »

Being new here in the forum, this self-investigation could very well develop over time

Having not read any other entries so far my first statement has not been influenced by any else's experience

I can recall noticing as a small child that my father was awake early in the morning getting ready for work ... his dressing routine was quick and mechanical ... he wore boxer shorts and socks under his suit trousers

My mother was a beautiful woman with a much more interesting and attractive body than my father ... she wore soft, light, filmy nightgowns in bed ... without panties ... and she wore only a light nylon bed jacket over her nightie while preparing my father's breakfast ... it was quite easy to "see" the glory of her naked female form ... and she didn't seem to mind sharing that with me

My mother's dressing activities were much more fascinating to me than my father's ... more like a "ritual" than a mere routine ... a quietly dramatic sort of "theatre" ... I was drawn to watch her "performance" ... she played her "role" naturally and magnificently ... with an apparent sense of modesty, but without any suggestion of shame

Given the choice, compared to my father's boxer shorts, it was not difficult for me to develop an awareness of and appreciation for the feel and looks of my mother's sheer nylon peignoirs, bed jackets, nightgowns, circle stitched bras, satin panel open bottom girdles, nylon stockings, soft nylon panties and stylish, lacey nylon slips

The *performance* ... never hurried ... always captured my full attention and focus ... I was never disappointed

How could a child resist ... why would I have wanted to ???

Hi Marda,

Very nicely worded, it shows the sensitivity and fascination that so many of us have felt when younger.

Love

Yes, quite so Marda. I was around my Mom as she did the same things. At first, I was simply waiting for her to finish, so we could be on our way somewhere. (I also got to help, zipping up her dress, hooking up her rear garters.) But mostly I remember the sight of her carefully putting on her stockings, extending her legs one at a time. Then she would sit at her vanity to put on her makeup in bra, girdle, panties, nylons and heels. (You had to have your heels on to do up your garters properly.) Then she got into her slip, full or half, and finally a dress, or skirt and blouse.

These were rituals I myself would reenact later.

Younger sisters who have not seen this, but recall only the gymnastics of putting on pantyhose (which I also love, in a different way) have missed out on something.

Marda, You and the other ladies here keep bringing up things that tweek my memory. I now remember seeing my grandmother getting dressed. I was raised by my grandmother and step-grandfather (my family tree is more of a bramble bush). Anyway, she was very eligante and wore only the current styles for that time period (no not animal skins- very funny!) She wore a mink stole that I expecially remember and it used the head for the clip to hold it on. But your right, it was ritualistic and it comes back to me now sitting there watching her dress. Ah Memories light the corners of my mind!
Thanks girls for the refresher.
Love,
Deborah

Hi Marda--
I can remember my mother's rituals also, since they had the adjoining room, and there was a connecting door. (My five older brothers and sisters all had shared rooms upstairs. I was the "baby.")

She also wore a slip, which is not something that any of my girlfriends have ever had, to my knowledge, even on the occasions where they wore dresses.

She had the stockings with the straps to hold them up, but I'm fine with pantyhose--somehow the charm of that kind of stocking escaped me.

My sister's crinolines (sp?) fascinated me, too. That's a relic of the fifties, for sure--only square dancers were them now.

Hi all,

Marda,

Somehow, this thread escaped me the first time around. I think it's pretty cool. I also used to watch my mother go through her ritual as she got ready for work. Dressed only in pantyhose and bra (or subtle variations thereof), she'd spend at least an hour at her makeup table. Often, I sat on the bed, watching her, toying with the clothes she'd laid out there to wear. This was in the 60s, so, like Anita, I never really got a chance to get into stockings (although now I get into stockings every chance I get! :P --ooohhh, that was bad, that was a groaner... sorry).

Love,
CJ

Yeah I missed this too... I did the same thing!

My bedroom was right in line with the bathroom and I can always remember my Mum shaving her legs in the bathroom, doing makeup etc just wearing panties and a bra and I was always in awe of her.

My Mums very very fem :)

Hi all,

Paula,

Yeah, I agree, the board can seem complicated at first. But you learn to get around pretty quickly. And this confusion, here, is totally my fault. Sorry. In my enthusiasm, I just bolted from this thread without leaving a forwarding address. Here it is: http://crossdressers-forum.com/forums/v ... php?t=2046

See ya there, girl! :)

Love,
CJ
