So [Ed:] and I decided to create this Index to give you some idea of what the post is about. The titles are a direct link to the Post.
| Title | Content | Date |
|---|---|---|
| My first time ... | My first recollections of trying on female attire. | 2014-Nov |
| Hair | Long hair and wigs. | 2014-Nov |
| The Naming of |
There is a group of people that can choose their own names! I have the privilege to be among them. | 2014-Nov |
| Double vision or first contact of the girl kind |
I was part of a gang and of course just us boys. Girls weren’t taboo per se.. | 2014-Dec |
| First Birthday | I’ve just realised that it’s my birthday today! Not only that, it’s my 1st birthday! | 2015-Jan |
| If the dress fits .. | As a kid I was always under surveillance, not of your “big brother” Orwellian type; it was just that I was not alone long enough to have the chance to raid my mother’s wardrobe! | 2015-Jan |
| Heels for Health | Here is a so called “side effect” concerning wearing heels that I came across while shopping a while ago. It would be interesting if anyone has heard of, or experienced the effect in some way. | 2015-Feb |
| Heels for health (heelnote) |
As I have been down with the flu since my last post, I got to thinking in my delirium and between bouts of coughing about the choice I had made in the shoe store mentioned in my last post on heels for health. | 2015-Feb |
| Getting ready to go out | In the pass when we were going out, I would be ready in no time. This was mainly due to an almost non-existent interest in choosing what to wear from a self-inflicted dull and drab boy wardrobe. Now it’s different, very different. I can know relate in my own small way to getting dressed as a woman. |
2015-Mar |
| Dream Dressing | What I mean here is dreaming of getting dressed, not the classical dreaming in sleep with REM etc. but either “day dreaming” or what I call “dusk dreaming”, those last thoughts of the day on hitting the hay and getting ready to enter the Land of Nod. | 2015-Mar |
| Bathnight.. | I mentioned at the end of the post "If the dress fits.." that I had discovered makeup, well this post centres around this experience. | 2015-Apr |
| Stockings I | my first visit to a phlebologist and my first compression stockings. | 2015-Jun |
| Stockings II | I knew that putting on compression stockings was not going to be fun, with the semi-horror stories from within my ageing family and having to get in external help mornings and evenings to assist with them. They were going to resist being stretched and would fight back as far as they could, brute force was on the cards. | 2015-Jul |
| Stockings III | I was back at my phlebologist for a check-up and told my sad story of the grip-less stockings. She had sympathy with me, but no constructive advice other than a prescription for a made-to-measure stocking with build in garter belt. | 2015-Jul |
| Stockings IV | I looked at my stocking bucket list. Sticking of the stockings and using heavy duty garters / straps. With sticking I was left with either hairs being pulled out or removing them beforehand. I optioned for the latter, it would mean more routine but I hoped less pain. | 2015-Aug |
| Stockings V | After a time my hair started to reappear (on my legs that is), and I decided it was time to start shaving and keep them at bay. I went on the search for new shaving equipment as I couldn’t see myself regularly ‘Veet-ing’ in the months to come. | 2015-Aug |
| Fashion Sense | With browsing my wife’s woman’s catalogues, scouring the online shops for clothes and shoes in my size, reading up on all manner of do’s and don’ts and watching umpteen YouTube videos with tips and tricks, I now think - I hope – I have developed a little ‘fashion sense’ in and to female attire and accessories. | 2015-Aug |
| Did my Mother know? | Either I was really really good at leaving no traces or just suppressed them at the moment they occurred (selective erasure). Looking back I just can’t believe I didn’t make mistakes with relocation, lipstick use, and all those little signs that turn up over time and collect into a pattern on one’s radar. | 2015-Oct |
| A year on.. | In writing this post I reviewed the last year of blogging and the content of the posts. I am somewhat astonished on what I have ‘aired’ in the last 12 months, with roughly 38.000 words in 25 posts and 16000 views. Not wor(l)d breaking but I wasn’t out to try. | 2015-Nov |
| Stockings VI | In part II, I mentioned that I was recommended the 6-strap suspender belt from RAGO. But at the time they didn’t look up to it, for my stockings I thought I would needed a more robust construction. | 2015-Dec |
| Her Stash and Me | Some of you may have caught on from my previous posts that I have my Stash in the cellar. It’s not really hidden (difficult with the volume it takes up, especially the shoes) but is sprinkled between the chaos that is indirect a smoke screen for MrsA as well as the normal chaos that reigns in our cellar. | 2016-Jan |
| Nails I | I found some nails from imPRESS and knew from experience that they are relative easy to remove and therefore painless. I have always been reluctant to cement them on and having the horror of not getting them off without mutilating my nails in the process. | 2016-Feb |
| My First Heels | One holiday in the early 80s we were in the near from a town called Street in Somerset, the HQ of the shoe company Clarks with their so-called ‘village’. The town was just full of shoe shops and as MrsA took then, as now, every opportunity to look for shoes we spent ages checking out one shop after another. | 2016-Apr |
| Flying Drab | Last week I had to fly to Zagreb for a couple of days on business. Note: I don't fly pretty, not like some of the girls we know. I don't even get out under the cover of darkness fem. | 2016-Sep |
| A day ‘in’ shopping | A little recap, I buy all my girl clothes exclusively by the global store called On-Line Inc. That is except for rare occasions in the pre–on-line era where I would pluck up my courage and buy stockings / pantyhose and sometimes lipsticks in stores a long way from home. | 2017-Feb |
| Nails II | Last weekend came and MrsA was complaining that my nails were again too long and wasn't too happy with the nail thickener being shiny. I think it was the combination that got her going. All too feminine in her eyes and of course in mine too! | 2017-Mar |
| Pink Prom Dress - I Selecting & Ordering |
Well as I was in a what-the-heck-lets-take-a-peek-anyway mood and this dress fell in the ‘really really nice’ category, I took one look at my ‘now or never’ flag and clicked on the article for a closer look. There were various colours to choose from with slightly different designs. | 2017-Apr |
| Pink Prom Dress – II Arrival & Fitting |
One morning as I entered my office there it was, an olive green plastic bundle looking like it would explode at any moment. I knew it was ‘The Dress’ as I was still in a daze and hadn’t ordered anything else since that day. | 2017-Apr |
| Pink Prom Dress – III Twinkle, twinkle, little star... |
Now what made me jump, apart from her coming stealth-like up behind me in the cellar and saying quite loudly "Look what I found!!" was that, on turning round being presented directly under my nose on the end of an upturned index finger a red sequin of pink prom dress fame! | 2017-May |
| Sister! Your wanted on the ward. |
In the early 70s when I was working in a hospital lab in London I had a girlfriend who was a sister in one of the large hospitals in the city. After work I wanted to pick her up to go to a prom | 2017-Dec |
| Heel marks | There are marks from heels of some of our female visitors and one in particular that usually forgets to bring her flats. Most of our ‘regular’ visitors now know following a little prep talk that they have to bring slippers or soft shoes otherwise either they have to stay outside or 'reduce' to socks/stockings or bare feet. | 2018-Mar |
| Stockings VII | Now I have four new pairs in four colours for the next year. If I have to wear them, why not be able to choose the colour for the day. A problem when they are new is they are difficult to get on. They are so shiny, they're not called ‘ultra sheer’ for nothing! | 2018-Jun |
| Nails III - Press on Nails Part One |
I wanted to give my experience with false nails and in particular with press-on nails as these are the only ones I have tried until now.. | 2018-Nov |
| Nails III - Press on Nails Part Two |
The most drastic change was being almost constantly aware of my nails. I won’t go into experimental clinical research mode here but this was in someway an experiment and the various results I was getting, from visual and tactile feedback, were amazing! | 2018-Nov |
| Nails III - Press on Nails Part Three |
In the morning I woke with a start as I realised there was something not quite right. It was not my long black silk negligee which I had the opportunity the whole week to wear nights but, you guessed it, my nails. I did a quick visual to see if any had gone AWOL overnight and to my relief all were wag-able, present and correct.. | 2018-Nov |
| Nails III - Press on Nails Part Four |
What was also a disappointment after unpacking the mint nails was the overall size. These nails are shorter in length than the ones I have been going on about in this post. | 2018-Nov |
| The Wardrobe | The ‘house’ turned out to be a mansion in a very posh area of the city. After an excellent meal, plenty of wine and fascinating small talk, I was shown to one of the many bedrooms off in one of the wings of the building. I unpacked my case and looked for a place to hang up my clean shirt for the meeting on the following morning. There was a wall to wall wardrobe and so I opened one of the doors to see if I could find a spare coat hanger. To my wonder and delight it was full of dresses and evening gowns! | 2022-Feb |
| Stockings VIII | As Ed: observed correctly, yes, again a post about stockings. But this time, more about my experiences with attempting to keep them up. | 2022-Apr |
| The Stash, The Dream and The Wardrobe |
Over the years I have, apart from going on about my stockings, nails and heels, mentioned more than once my frustration about having my Stash in boxes in the cellar. Well.. | 2022-Jul |
| Hand-me- |
Without trying it on she handed it to me which I took as rejected. As I was heading towards the recycle bag she said “Wait, try it on and see if it fits.” I stopped in my tracks letting what I thought I just heard sink in. I turned towards her with what must have been a look of slight confusion on my face as it was the last thing I expected. | 2023-Dec |
