Last night was definitely a milestone for me. I finally went out fully as Mere.
I have been out as Mere before, but not fully en femme. I am in Denver now visiting Josie. Last night we went to First Fridays at Tracks. I had on a nice burgundy dress, dark hose, full makeup, heels, etc. And it was all good. The heels did hurt a little towards the end of the night, walking on that hard pavement, but I finally did what I have been wanting to do for a long time.
Tonight we're going back out. Thankfully I brought a second outfit. You never know who you might run into.
No closing these floodgates!

It feels GREAT doesn't it Mere? So natural. You know that this will be a huge turning point for you now and that it will harder and harder to venture out as anything other than full femme? I hope tonight goes equally well for you and I'm sure that you will have a great time.
There's no going back now! (and you wouldn't want to).

So glad that the evening was all you hoped - I'm very happy for you, and I'm sure this evening will be just as great!

I will blog about this later, but last night me and Josie were out at this local gay bar which was sponsoring a GLBT show. We met some of the organizers, and they introduced us to the crowd as being representatives of Trannyweb! Josie insisted I wear this out outfit that is, shall we say, a bit on the short side. I think she thinks I'm trampy,or something like that. What ever gave her that idea?
Nikki, you are right - it's starting to get difficult to go back to the "old ways."
Getting our last few moments together before heading off to the airport. More later. Bye!
Mere
Feeling like a loose woman after the way Josie ravaged me

HI Mere,
Congratz! Sounds like you have made the next leap so to speak. Thats great news. Also sounds like Josie and you are doing quite well.
Now that you have been out fully dressed as Mere, I bet your appetite for "cute outfits" is heightened. Beware my TW sisters, Mere's other name - LDB Ninja was because she was after another sisters Little Black Dress (LBD). So girls, lock up your LBD's!! (lol... sorry Mere).

Glad to hear your evening out went so well!!! I have not yet gone out and I am jealous LOL.
I am hope to get out dressed in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for this post it is encouraging

Michelle, the MSS (Meredith's Secret Service) has NOT given up on obtaining Kendra's elusive LBD!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all your well wishes.
I guess now I am irritated about having to go back to the "other way." Now my resolve to go full time has increased.
I remember how upset I was a few years ago when I was visiting Karen Brad. Then, like now, I hated the thought of having to go back to pretending. Since most of the people in my life know anyway, I guess I better speed up the process. After all, I see my doctor again this week, and we will be moving forward with an endo at that point.

Mere, I'm so proud of you , you go ! Listen I user a lot in church . I know all about working in a pair of heels . You might want to invest in the "Foam - Inner soles that Dr. Schols make or the cheap kind from Wal World . They might make the shoe tight but they work fine for me . I'm so glad your evening out as a Cinderella went so well too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ellen S.

thats almost! i have never been out to a club before in femm, but would like to. My first time out was a few months ago to Macys! It was so thrilling heart pounding in excitement i was in full femm just had a lovily time talkin to the girls at the counter about make up and trying on different outfits. I had a few stares but so what they may have been checking me out
. Its really exciting can't wait for the next step, glad you had fun! muah Catlin

Mere,
I was just wondering how much time passed until you decided to take that big step to go out fully femme and whether you did it in stages? I have been out for drives fully dressed but I have never stopped and gotten out of my car. I give you a lot of credit girlfriend for summoning up the courage to take that first step. Hopefully one day I'll get the courage to do the same.
Kisses,
Sindy

Sindy,
To answer your question, it went in stages.
April 27, 2009 2:20 AM BST
Congratulations Mere
I have been willing to do the same but I have not had the courage, I believe it is easier if you have someone to come along with you, so please tell me, what did it feel like?, I am dying to do so, but I am so afraid of being ridiculed for it.
When I live my home I wear all my girl stuff underneath sweatpants then I slip into a dress or a blouse and skirt once I am on the road. I have never been outside the car nor have I worn makeup and a hairstyle so I have to do it at night to avoid recognition, I would like to do it outside and get to walk on my heels (not to high though). My most warm congratulations I know it takes a lot of courage to do it.

Mere,
I missed this in February as i was on vacation. Congratulations, Girl!

Congrats on going out en femme! I've not been that bold yet. I've been out many, many times in sportswear as Ann, but the most I've done is wear capris, a cute lacey top, heels, makeup, jewelry and hair done. I've not yet done a skirt or dress in public. It would be so nice to go out with a friend, too! Maybe someday!
Hugs,
Ann

Uh, Ann, not meaning to split ends...I mean split hairs...but that sounds pretty much like out to me. I looked all the through the Tranny Handbook including the supplement and I didn't see any thing that says you have to be in a skirt or dress to be considered "out", so congrats, girl!
Hugs...Joni Marie
April 29, 2009 9:30 PM BST
And, Meredith, dear, I am so sorry, but it looks like I totally forgot to say congratulations to you. The first time is the best, most special feeling in the world, isn't it? Like a weight lifted. Best of luck to you, girl.
Hugs...Joni Marie

Joni,
Lol, well I don't really know enough about all this then... lol I was going by what a Drag Queen told me... I didn't look girly enough, he said, without a dress... but that was before I knew the difference between a Drag Queen and a Tranny... my gay cousin eventually filled me in.
Ann
Oh honey, if it were up to drag queens it'd all be sequined ballgowns and opera gloves and rhinestone tiaras just to go out and get a loaf of bread and a quart of milk.<lol>
Hugs...Joni Marie

my first time out was a jump in the deep end thing...about 7/8 years ago...gang of girls I'd been chatting online decided to meet up in Manchestre to see a Ladyboys show...what was I thinking of!...so I said OK...where to meet...said by concert hall...got there and no sign of them but plenty other folk...oh well...deep breath and out of car...in leopard miniskirt, heels and blouse as it was a warm evening...walked too fast up the stairs to the info desk...down the stairs and very conscious of heels tapping on the concrete and car parks echo!...round the hall and finally found them on the crowded patio of the bar...had a great evening with them but not too bothered about the ladyboys...

Sorry it took me so long to reply Mere, you know me I disapear for months & years at a time, but congratulations!
I hope everything is going well for you and that you have made it out many many times since.
As for my first time..... I dont really remember, but one of my earliest childhood memories was climbing up to the top of the clothes line wearing a beautiful "Alice in Wonderland" inspired dress that I stole off a doll. I remember being yelled at by my mother for climbing the clothes line and then ripping a little whole in the sleeve. I wouldnt let her take the dress off me while she stiched it either. So she had to stich it while I was wearing it!

I think it amazingly cool that, even reading something like this 9 months later, it is still possible to feel excitement for the person for whom it occurred.
Have you been back out, Meredith?
