Hello!
Wow, it's ages since I last dressed. Well, it is in real life. I'm a woman in Second Life, and absolutely love it. In fact I do live entertainment in SL as a female (thanks to a fantastic voice morpher from Screaming Bee) and am accepted as a female and that is just so liberating. Thing is I really am needing to take this into real life (RL), and I did have a flurry of buying new stuff earlier this, thanks to e-Bay, so I'm ready. I moved about 18 months ago to a different part of the UK with work, and a friend I had from my earlier days of dressing when I was spoilt with being in Manchester, lives nearby so I do feel a stepping-out coming on LOL.
What else can I say? I will tell you all about what I do. I totally love being a girl in SL. The thing about it is, there is no "feeling" of clothes, but it's about being a woman, interacting with people as a woman, and being accepted as a woman. So it stops being merely about what you are wearing and is now more about how people perceive you. That is the most important thing.
I used to dress about 6 or 7 years ago, and I went out shopping en femme often (Trafford Centre was great for girls), I went into the Gay Village in Manchester (possibly the BEST place in the UK to be a tranny!). I got away with murder. I'm small, 5ft 3in, I have size 6 feet, I'm a size 12, or a size 10 when I'm feeling slim! I pass easily as a woman. True, that's a plain or even an ugly woman (I'm not attractive), but a woman nonethelsess. I think it's because a lot of the time I just blend into the background, so it's great for a tranny. Think about it, how often do you really look at the people you pass in the street, especially unattractive ones?
It's a pain as a bloke though LOL. To be totally honest, and I know a lot of girls will be annoyed and green with envy, I find it easier to buy female clothes tha male clothes. I can't just go into a shop and buy a pair of guy's trousers, I have to look for the right length, and I'm right at the edge of the size range (30in waist, short legs). But I could walk into Dorothy Perkins and get anything off the peg in a 12 and it would more or less fit. The same thing is true for shoes. Size 6 shoes for guys are often too big, but I know I could go to Brantano or Dolcis and buy a pair of slingbacks and I know they'd fit. Blelieve me, I'm not bragging. It's a real problem for my drab wardrobe which is what I wear most of the time. Also I do notice my height as a problem sometimes as a man. If I had the choice I'd prefer to be just a little bit bigger. A 14 maybe, size 7 feet, and easier to by guy clothes. I have to say though I LOVE the idea I can't shop at some places that stock clothes at 14 plus LOL
Anyway, I stopped dressing for no obvious reason, or probably more accurately, for lots of small reasons. I moved house from a main road falt to a semi in a cul-de-sac, so not so easy to sneak out when people know who lives at your house. I moved jobs, I lost interest. To be honest I got a wee bit disillusioned. There is a great quote from one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books which I'll paraphrase "If you're tired of being a tranny in Manchester, you're tired of just being a tranny!", and it was a bit like that. I suppose you get blase. And I got a bit disillusioned with the whole scene, and the fact that quite a few TVs dress purely as an excuse to go with men. I'm a staunch feminisit, and I resent the fact that some trannies have that opinion of women: sluts. They become women just so they can be a sexual object. Don't get me wrong, there is a frisson to dressing, it does turn me on sometimes, but it's so much more than that. I don't mean to be judgemental. consenting adults can do what consenting adults want to do, but it does alarm me that some trannies have such a low opinion of the half of the population they want to present themselves as
Anyway, this ended FAR too seriously. Being a girl is all about fun. And my future posts will be funny. I promise
Hopefully I'll add more to this blog as time goes on.
Take care everyone,
Love,
Deb
