Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing

Travelling sometimes means that it is harder to be in the right clothes at the right time, and the other day was one such time.

Being at the door of a store full of yummy girly clothes, I just had to go in, even though I was totally in guy mode.

No matter… it seems my shame – at least in this respect – has vanished.  I was picking up items here and there and posing with them in front of public mirrors, and then went so far as to get myself a dressing room and try some stuff on.

Tried on shoes too.

The sales staff never batted an eye…

Flats Saved My Life

Ok, maybe a bit melodramatic… maybe saved my feet is more like it.

But, I have never had a love-type relationship with flats.  I think that women – and especially tgirls – look much better in heels.

The tgirl aspect is important.  Men tend to have larger feet and proportionately shorter legs than women, and heels address both concerns.  A bent foot is a smaller foot, and obviously a heel extends the length of the leg.

But, (I can’t believe I am saying this!!) there is a practical aspect to life as a woman.  GF will be relentless after hearing me say such a thing, but alas, it is true.

Until now, I have adopted the approach of taking along a pair of running shoes and wearing them on the treks from place to place, then changing into heels where people might see me.

But, aside from being inconvenient and forcing me to have a larger purse at certain times when when I might much prefer having that really cute small one, stuff happens while you’re on the way from A to B.

My Idea of Sexy

The way I see it, sometimes the simplest things are the sexiest.

You can put on a corset and collar, low-cut bustier, micro-mini skirt and fishnet stockings, spiked thigh-high boots and dramatic makeup and you’ll have something screaming sexy, no doubt.

But, in my view, that’s trying too hard.  And the results are more shrill than “sexy” should be.

Sexy is a mood, a feeling… it is something sensual and deep rather than painted on superficially.  Its subtlety is what makes it so powerful… it is almost an ambush the way it overwhelms its prey…

Shoes First–Bass Ackward

Getting dressed has always been a pretty consistent process in my life.

Depending on the affair, choose the outfit, pick out a pair of shoes that match in both style and color, and off you go.

Well, not today.

I decided, based on a whim, that I wanted to wear a certain pair of shoes: my wedgie beige sandals with flowers on top.

It was my mood.

I wanted shoes with whimsy, and I wanted to show off my new pedicure.

Shoes, Glorious Shoes

Ok, I’ve gone stark raving mad over shoes these last weeks.

Usually, I buy a bunch stateside and satisfy my hunger for a time, but this year, I never got my chance to buy any there.

When I returned, I realized that I had a gaping hole in my shoe collection – nothing white, and one solitary bone-colored pump that I had worn to death.

Blast from the Past!

I spent the most wonderful weekend in Las Vegas at a rockabilly festival, dancing, listening to rock’n’roll legends, watching jive dance contests, admiring all the hipsters in their fabulous outfits and retro hairdos, going to a tiki pool party, seeing those incredible old cars, and buying swanky clothes…

…just having a blast with great, fun people and phenomenal music!

My girlfriend really wanted to share this experience with me as a boy – and it made a lot of sense to me too – we could dance together and get into the vibe of a bygone time, and meet all these people without having the TG thing in the way.

Multiple Personality Disorder

I think it’s a fairly common thing among us t-girls to be “enthusiastic” shoppers.  We do love our clothes, and shoes, don’t we?

There are times when I find it hard to walk past a clothing store without wanting to go in and try something on.  I started to think that it was almost pathological.

One explanation that occurred to me is that I still don’t know who I am.
