Here's an idea I've been toying with since February 2006!! Most of us here want to be female, right! That's probably why you are on this site now. However, it's not practical for many of us to actually change sex because of family and career commitments or perhaps just because we do not want to go all the way. Some of us may feel inside that we want to but are not entirely sure.
Well, it's been suggested to me that we should organise and offer our members a chance to experience what it is like being a girl for a week.
The opportunity to live life as a woman for 7 days and nights. Of course many people will not be able to afford the time to be away for a whole week and they should take a look at Carol's posting in this forum, about her Torquay girly weekend in May.
However, if you would like to spend a bit longer, living as a female, read on...
For those who are thinking of transitioning this could be a useful first step, before doing anything that is not reversible later if you discover it's not for you.
For those who have families and careers that take first place, it could be just an opportunity to be a girl before reverting back to Drabsville.
What I propose is that we find small but nice hotel to use for our base. I already have one in mind, in Blackpool, which can offer full board at a pretty reasonable rate and we'd have the whole place to ourselves.
Upon arrival you would hand over your drab clothes for safe-keeping and be given a girly make-over because from the moment you arrive, you would be treated as a girl and would be expected to dress as a female immediately.
We would endevour to keep the price as low as possible but this would not be a cheapo week away. I want this to be feature filled, elegant and upmarket and the price would also include the following:
* Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner each day
* A makeover on arrival
* A welcome aboard party on the first night
* A make-up lesson each day from a professional make-up artist/beautician because as a woman, you will need to know how to apply and touch-up your make-up
* Daily lessons and talks from career trans people, on subjects like deportment, creating a feminine voice, passing as a female in public and talks from people who have already successfully transitioned and who now consider themselves to be well and truly female
* Various party nights with entertainment
* Several photo shoots during the week, including one with a professional photographer
* On the last night, a trip out to Funny Girls trans entertainment venue
We could also have a few other trips out for shopping and entertainment - en femme of course and there would also be a number of other surprises for the girls just to make it all that little bit more special.
There would also be a discount available on the price, for our Full Members and Lifetime Members.
At present I'm looking at doing this in the UK but if there's enough demand, we could do something similar in the US and/or elsewhere.
I for one, would absolutely love to spend a whole week of my life as a girl, dressed and made-up to the nines!
Now it's over to you. Before we lay out vast quantities of cash and work on this project, we need to hear from you.
Is this a good idea? If you say it's not then we won't do it.
If on the other hand you think it is, we will. Perhaps you have some more ideas for making it even more fun and more useful.
Please tell me what you think and when you think is the best time to do it. Please also tell me if you would like to be a guest and if you are willing to share a room. I want to make this an up-market experience so it won't be cheap but it won't be expensive either. It should offer very good value for the cost but I do not want to do this on the cheap and risk having heaps of complaints.
If it goes ahead, then we'll advertise it in Frock Magazine and on our other web sites too. However, you have first dibs right here so jump in quick and reserve your place. Numbers will be very limited.
This is something I've got to do before I die!
Thanks and hugs,

Thanks for the link Katie unfortunatly not something I could take up
Thanks for your replies so far girls. Please keep 'em coming. Thanks for the suggestion of starting with a weekend Anna. However, as I mentioned, Carol is already running a weekend away in May and there are already several other weekends and long weekends like that available. We want to offer something that is not already being widely done.
There are some cheap weeks available here and there too so this will be different again, will offer much more to do and be more inclusive but of course, it will cost a bit more as well.
And while we're looking at Blackpool for the UK right now, I am definitely up for doing something like this in the US, if I can find a suitable venue.
Hugs, Katie x
Sounds great. I'd be tempted after I have shed some weight.
This would be awesome, I really wanna do this!
I have been full time for three years and I would like to join you if this goes ahead. I would like the makeover, photography bits, and girly nights out, too!
What a brilliant idea, I'd love to do this but as with the other girls posts on here, it would depend on date and price. Makeover & girlie nights... sounds sooo fab
OMG! I so love this idea, feeling all tingly just thinking about it.
This is something ive wanted for a very long time but never had the confidence.
would love to know what the price would likely be for such an event, really does sound like fun.
Amethyst, be sure to check links here to find things locally.I'm going to one here in Port Angeles Washington this year.
Amethyst, there is no need to worry about confidence as you will be with other girls who will look after you, and most likely some of them will be in the same boat as you so you will not be alone and scared. Think of the fun you could have instead.
THe longest I have been in girl mode is 4 days and nights I would like to get away again do let me know if there are any eet ups or days out planned
It's an old thread, but I'd love to do this.. it would depend on when and cost, but just for the make up lessons alone it'd be worth it.
i know this is an old thread but I am new to the site this is definately something that would interest me maybe not a full 7 days but something like a long weekend again as others have said would depend on the cost
