God, I do love it

Tags : None
  • Today was one of those days where I could take my time, apply makeup with care, comb out my wig just right, don a sexy bra and panties under a cute little summery dress and add silvery flats, 5 bracelets, a nice little heart pendant. When I look in the mirror, I see a not unattractive middle aged woman, and I love being that person.

    Over the years, I've purged several times, swore off Emily, worried endlessly, spent time with a shrink. But Emily is such a wonderful part of me, I cannot imagine not BEING her. While I will never transition, I wish every day that I had been born a woman. Emily is the more confident, assured, at peace part of me. I love being her.

    That's it. Just had to share feelings (that's what women do) in the one place I could expect some empathy.

    Good for you Emily - enjoy.
    The more you are comfortable with yourself the better.
    Sometime, due to circumstances, I'm not able to dress, apply makeup so on and so forth.- then I think to myself "It's what's inside that counts."
    Yes I do thoroughly enjoy getting all "gussied-up" it feel great - I love it.

  • Emily, I can completely empathise with you.
    Like most women I love getting glammed up.

  • Hi Emily,

    I totally know where you are coming from. My life has had some differences, I've never purged nor seen a shrink, but just about everything else sounds like you could of been describing me.

    There is something wonderful about being a girl, even a middle-aged one. And when you get the look just right, heaven.

    Best,
    Melody

  • Emily,
    I know what you mean. Tomorrow night is my night our with the local support group and I can't wait. Been thinking about what to wear all week. I think it will be a casual dress this time. It will be my first time out in a dress. When it's over and I come home, I hate to get undressed and have it come to and end. I'll have to pick out some specially cute jammies to ease the transition.

    Love Donna M

  • First of all, there is nothing wrong with being middle aged. The word is "experienced!"

    I know the feeling and wish I could be doing that right now!
    You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant.

    I don't need to get all dressed up to be Karen anymore. There is still nothing better than better than getting all dressed up.
    Going all out to look my best. I've allways loved doing it & I allways will.

  • Spending all day pampering oneself -> hold that thought.
    Just an ordinary girl finding her way in this strange life. - What will it take to get everyone to realise that everyone else is also a human being that deserves just as much respect? - How does someone tell their doctor they have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? - When I was a student I specialised in Alcopology. It always starts with Alco and always ends with pology. - Waiter! There's a hare in my rabbit pie!
