Hi all,
Didn't want to steal Kathy's thunder.... and I'm so glad she had a "mostly" relaxing week!!
My wife just left today to visit her family back east. she'll prob be gone till just before Christmas.

My time for freedom and fun!!! Haven't made any firm plans yet... but, I do want to be completely dressed as much as possible.

I'll fill you in as I go along!!

Hope everyone had a great T-day!!

Hi Paulie!

Congratulations!

Free 'till Christmas, huh? I'm a bit jealous!

My time is almost up but I do hope you make the best of yours.

Do enjoy it and keep us posted.

Love,
Kathy

Sounds like it will be fun Paulie. Don't get too caught up in it and forget to get you Christmas shopping done, however. That is, if you celebrate Christmas.

Paulie · Post by **Paulie** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 10:30 am

I'll certainly keep you girls posted.

Can't get tooooo caught up in dressing.... do have to go to work. But, I do plan on enjoying my weekends and evenings!

It was so nice to look in my closet this morning to decide what to wear. Pulled on a silky black V neck sweater, boot cut jeans, and cute black heels.

You know, Donna.... I'm thinking I could prob get away with doing some Christmas shopping dressed like this!

Talk to you all soon!!

p.s. Sorry your time is winding down, Kathy! But, glad you had it!

Paulie,
Honey, dressing and going out is one of the biggest rushes you can experience!!! If you have not been out before, start slow. A nice quite evening drive, then maybe to a drive-through for some coffee. I started out going to an afternoon movie matinee, but I would not recommend it when school is out, nor do I recommend a mall - there in lurks our biggest enemy - a pack of teenage girls = 2 or more! Anyway, good luck, have fun and remember, no one really cares anymore. You may get some stares, but for us a nice smile will do virtual mircles!

Truer words were never said! Both on the rush and on the starting slow!

Thanks so much everyone for your tips and support!
That's what I love so much about this forum...... the people on it!

I've gone out a few times... but, mostly just driving around, have avoided places with people around. So.... may have to try to change that.

I did go to Wally World yesterday, dressed in what I had described in my earlier post. It did feel great to be out dressed completely in womens clothes... right down to the heels. Kathy's tip to me about buying misses tall size in the jeans was PERFECT! My heels were pretty much covered by the bottom of the legs on the jeans. For the most part, no one gave me a second look. There was a younger woman, maybe late teens early twenties, that looked at me a little longer... could have been because of the V neck sweater. But, didn't say a word or smirk that I saw.

Again.... thanks to all for your help and support!!!! I'll keep you filled in on my fun!

Pauline:
Happy for you to be getting out and sbout.
Today, I left the house en-fem and drove to Great Barrington MA about 140 miles to stay with my sister. It is a great feeling to be able to relax, stop and get a cup of coffee, and receive a few smiles.
I do hope the you get to enjoy your outings more and more, I know, that I do....

Great to hear you're making those first steps. The best thing is hardly anyone notices. If you haven't been out dressed fully en femme yet, you have a lot to look forward to. Great feeling! Just make sure you stay safe and be careful. Confidence is a wonderful thing but it sure can make us prone to letting our guard down sometimes.

Like Stephanie W said, be safe.

This sort of thing can be a lot of fun and I think we learn some stuff about ourselves when it happens. Enjoy and keep us posted. My only tip is do not let this turn into isolation. Sounds like you're avoiding that so far.

Thanks to you all for your interest and support!!!

Too much going on with work and other things yesterday.... so, nothing to talk about. Hopefully it will be a little more calm this evening, and I plan to have some fun.

Andea:
You're right about the isolation part. I have had that happen in the past... not really the way to be. I do plan on trying to get out as much as I can. Guess I'm just going to play it day by day.

Talk to you all soon!!!

Hey Paulie!

So glad you are enjoying your free time.

Going out in "guy mode" while wearing nothing but "gal clothes" is really a great feeling.

Hope you continue to have fun with it!

Love,
Kathy

Ok.... time to give you girls an update.

This week wasn't much to write home about.... just WAY too busy at work, and by the end of the day I was pretty much brain dead.

So, I took Friday afternoon off and went shopping!!

I might have posted this in another thread, but I felt I should here.

I wore my fem jeans, top and sneakers... and LOVED being out shopping all afternoon!!

I got 3 new tops.... one multicolor burnout velvet, a black lacy one, and a pink silk and lace. Three bras with matching panties, four pairs of thigh high stockings, and a cute pair of short, high heel boots to wear with my jeans. (Thanks Kathy!!!

)

When I got home, I checked the mail, and to my surprise.... there was the black waist cincher I had ordered online on Tuesday!!! I have to share this site with you, as their service was A+! They mostly have vintage lingerie and stockings, but other things of interest also. Seems they are CD friendly, as I ordered under my real name. So... here it is:
www.alexis4u.com
I'll order more items from them in the future!

Anyway... sorry to drone on here, but wanted to let you all know what I've been up to. I WILL be getting dolled up and going out this weekend for sure! Just haven't decided yet where.... guess maybe I'll have to get in the car and see where it takes me! LOL

Thanks again to you all!!! This is without a doubt the best forum with THE best people!!!!

Luv ya!!!
Paulie

Sounds like your having a great time I know Denver has a lot of T friendly spots I haven't been there in awhile but they were fun then. I think going to the mall dressed is a great thrill just remember to dress down so you can blend in. That is the biggest problem we girls have wanting to wear our heels and fancy party dresses to the mall. Jeans and flats will work great with a not to flashy top
Any way have fun I am jealous....Sallee
