I am Danielle La Belle. Currently 55 yr and counting backward now. I have known that I was different from about age 5. Pretty typical I suppose. For the better part of my life I have managed to control my alter ego and keep her fairly well hidden.

The past 10 years, I decided that we both needed a little room to exercise our own particular way of being. Little by little, I overcame the various human feelings that we all go through. Shame, guilt, and a variety of other garden-like attributes that eventually, with reading and extensive study, I have managed to put behind me :D .

I use all of that baggage, carefully stuffed into my posterior enhancer (padded girdle) ha ha LOL, and it looks great back there. So when you do not know what to do with all that baggage, you now wil have a use for it. :D

I am so glad to have Danielle here with the forum :D .... I was going to say "with us", but at this point in time Shannon, Sharon (my wife) and Danielle ARE us!!!!

Thanks for getting this topic started Danielle, now I guess it is my turn.

My beginnings started with shoes. When I was about 13 or so I became infatuated with high heel shoes. At that point my sister (2 years older) just got a pair of 4" Candies Slides..... I remeber seeing them laying on the steps of our house and just decided to put them on. That is what started me. I really enjoyed wearing them and it has grown from there.

To this day high heels are still my main point of interest. Nothing to me is more femine than high heels. They just say "Sexy Woman" to me.

I guess it would be fair to say that the entire image is me. That is, I like to think that if I were to consider my dressing as a fetish, then it is a complete fetish. No one particular item is more popular in my wardrobe.

I do go through periods when I will dress a specific way, but for the most part, I just feel more comfortable as Danielle when doing the household chores.

I isolate Danielle from the yard work, car repair etc. I prefer to look nice and polished. A lady about the house. It has always been that way for me. Even when doing the laundry, or home related chores, I am always the lady of the house. I am sure my wife would have something to say about that! But, for the most part, there can be two ladies of the house, one that watches and one that does the work, me!
