Oh, and who remembers the bar scene in Crocodile Dundee? That movie came out in 1986; I was 14 at the time.

I guess I have lead a shelterd life, or maybe just wasn't paying attention ??
Stef can I borrow your story ??

That was great !
As far as I can remember, the first CD/TV I ever saw was someone with a beard, a pink outfit and fishnet stockings, pulling a suitcase down the sidewalk in the middle of the day. It was like,,, did I just see that ??
Other than that, it was just a couple years ago when I met an online friend , Chrissy (in guy mode) and her So when they came by to break the ice. Soon after that I met a couple more online friends, Suzie and Brenda for my first encounter ever dressed going to meet others dressed.
No stopping me now !

Hi all....

My first post ever

I was 16 years old.... now this was in 1971 (yes... I'm an old lady)..... I was staying on Beacon Hill in Boston, having borrowed my sisters apartment for the weekend so that I could party a bit.....

Well, it was winter...... (and remember it was 1971), and I was stoned on a then popular hallucinogenic, and it was snowing lightly outside (at least I think that it was snowing lightly).... so what better then to walk over to the Boston common and look at the X-mas lights in the snow.....

I was walking up Charles Street and there are these 3 girls who other than being in highheels and legs that reached toward the heavens would have otherwise passed for early disco babes, abet a bit tall..... as I walked part I heard "Okay girls, where do go now, I'm freezing my b*lls" , in this overly deep masculine voice.....

It made for an interesting evening....... and due to the own closet dressing and the heightened state of, ah, consciousness.... made for an interesting 4 or 5 hours....

Hmmmm...... too bizzare

The first CD that I met was painting our neighbor's house. He became really friendly with the neighbors (they were great people!), and one day he told them about his other self, and showed them pictures. I happend to drop by that same afternoon. I hardly remember a thing...I think I must have been so embarassed and scared at her sharing my own secret thoughts I probably didn't utter a word!

I hadn't been friends with her up until that point, and so she remained just an acquaintance of the neighbors. I have often wondered what would have happened if we'd been friends, and she'd given me courage at a young age...

The first time I ever saw a man all "dolled up" was in New Orleans 1974. I was walking around the French Quarter, and saw the "All-Boy show". I realized that these guys where female impersonators, like Flip Wilson playing "Geraldine Jones". All camping it up, and playing "extreme". I must admit that I was fascinated, but then everyone has to make a living, doing something. These guys were just actors, playing a role, not "queer" or living full time as women.

I heard there is now a female impersonator show in Nashville, where the guys dress up like Loretta Lynn, and Reba McEntire, Kitty Wells, and some of the "queens" of country music, and perform. That I would like to see.

The first time it really registered on me that I was seeing a CD was when I went to my first drag show. I say my first, because it was the first time after I knew that I was going to be doing drag myself very soon. I was fascinated by my first views of the MC, a local drag queen named Ruby Tuesday.

I watched her and the other performers, and I kept thinking, "This can't be happening." It was just like me sitting in a theatre watching Casino Royale,, with someone telling me that next week I'd be expected to duplicate a James Bond act. It was hard for it to sink in.

Along the lines of Stef's story--I had a local rock musician who I did not get along with very well. He and I had friends in common, and he even worked for me part-time one year.

I heard through the grapevine that he had been seen performing in a dress, but I didn't really know what to make of that--I had very little awareness of transgender. Years later, I'm sitting in a support group, and I hear a gal telling her "story," and I started to recognize parts of it. It was "him," and he was fulltime, and well on the way to transitioning. A lot of her "arrogance" was the method that she had chosen to stuff down the girl inside.

I called her by her boy name, and she laughed and said, "It's been a long time since anyone called me THAT!"

Now we're very good friends, and she and I are two of the four facilitators for that same group.

Steph that is a great story. I don't think mine is nearly as interesting. I went from age 11 until I was about 30 years old thinking I was the only CD in the world other than she-male porn things I found on the computer. They were the closest I could relate to at the time at least I knew there were other guys who liked to look like girls.

A few years later I found tri-ess and a chat forum online. Very soon after that I went to a local tri-ess meeting. I didn't even have a wig but I wore my highest heels and my sexiest hose and some sort of skirt ensemble I could find and did my make up and drove down the street out in the world for the first time en femme and met for the first time other CDs and since then it been a proccess.

Summer 1960. I was 6. At least a year after <i had started using my sisters clothes,
A distant relative had a son my age whos mom dressed him as a girl. My parents wouldnt let me play with him. The rest of the family thought it was scandalous.
Didnt see another CD till I was 16, I ran into a carload of drunk ones at a gas station one night, wow they were dressed nice! Then one other who would come into the parking garage <i worked at.

I, like Cheryl, saw the drag queens on Bourbon street in New Orleans.I know it was back in the early 80's, but the exact date eludes me. It was kinda awkward, because at the time I was still searching for myself and feared becoming "one of those". Outwardly I snapped pictures and made jokes to my friends about them, while I secretly ached to be able to do exactly what they were doing.

Kyra,

Isn't it amazing what we do around our guy buddies when we are dresses as men? I do that all the time. A Jessica Simpson commercial comes on and every guy in the room is yeah I would like to do this and that with her. I agree but secretly think......wonder if they have that outfit in my size?
