Then I began wondering if her ballet attire would feel the same so I hid her tights, top and ballet slippers where I could get them when everyone was sleeping. I put them on in my room and ended up sleeping in them.

I had more of blast than anyone could ever suspect and still remember that evening like it was yesterday! The second one was just me and a friend watching television at his house both dressed en femme.

Oh, and I almost got caught by my current wife yesterday but that's a different post coming in the future! (That is, as soon as I find the right place for it
