For me, the most dramatic part of my transformation into a woman is when - after fully dressing and applying my makeup - I finally put on my wig. Up to that point, I still see myself as a balding man with short hair, looking very peculiar. I have no idea how realistic my final appearance will be. Then the wig comes on and - bingo! - I am a suddenly a woman!

For this reason, I tend to identify Maggie with her wig. Not the clothing, not the makeup, but the wig. That is where I imagine her residing when I am in my male persona.

Do any of you other girls also identify your female persona with your wigs?

Many, many years ago, when I first experimented with Maggie for a brief time, she had long blonde hair. When Maggie returned a couple of years ago, she had medium-length ash-blonde hair. (I have a lot of pictures of this in the Gallery.) This wig turned out to be appropriate for my stage performance as an elderly woman. I wore it again when I played a middle-aged divorcee looking for a new husband.

However, I became dissatisfied with my cheap ash-blonde wig when I saw the wigs worn by other girls at the TG support group meetings. So, when I found a much better wig being sold at deep discount at a clearance sale, I jumped at the chance. Now I am a redhead, as shown in the Gallery photos that I most recently uploaded.

My red wig is not only of much better quality than the previous ash-blonde one, it also is closer to my natural coloring. I have had to adjust my makeup accordingly, and I am very pleased with the results, as shown in my most recent pictures.

But beyond that, my female personality is also changing. Under my new wig, I am feeling more comfortable and self-confident going about in public as a woman. Now, I wish I had an opportunity to present my new image on stage!

I have two wigs, and they each give me a different personality, but in appearance only. I am the same person whether dressed, in a wig, or drab.

Well this is very different for me - obviously as i don't use wigs, just my natural hair. That way - when looking in a mirror, I always see my female part too.
I never thought of that, especially as I started to have my hair grow longer long time before I comitted myself as a crossdresser.

Many of you have explained how I felt until recently. I do not "become Genifer" until I put the wig on. For the past year I have let my real hair grow.

It has changed things for me in more ways than I could hav imagined. Since I always have my real hair on, the question now becomes, when am I not Genifer? The conclusion I have reached is that I am always Genifer.

I never would have thought that something as simple as growing my hair could have such a deep phsychological impact. I have now accepted Genifer as an even greater part of me than I ever expected I would. Who knows where this will lead.

I would have to agree with Maggie. Th ehair is the thing I enjoy it all but the wig makes the girl I have several and always need more. Even with very minimal makeup the wig brings the girl althogether...Sallee

I recently purchased a wig.
I happened upon a wig shop and found it was actually pretty easy to get up the courage to go in and ask.

The young lady who helped me went through the whole pitch without acting like it was a bit weird, nor stopping to ask if this was 'a gift for someone else?'.

I made an appointment and followed up the next week.

So far I've only had it on in the shop, and once at home.
I plan on wearing it a bit around home then going back to have the girl style it for me.

It's amazing how nice some people can be about this whole CD thing.
