I don’t drive to much en femme but i have only once taken back up clothes and that was the first time , since then i go out without any , mind you i cant use my company car as it is sign written and very easy to spot not just friends but customers .
The last few Transformals i leave home and get back en femme even through the day , i came to a realization after my first formal that hey this is who i am and if, or more so when , i get sprung i will deal with it then so no more back up clothes for me , i find it liberating leaving the house for the weekend or night with no male clothes at all it just adds to the weekend or night , and the drive up an back to the formal we stop for fuel etc , not broken down as yet but hey that may happen one day. :unsure:
However i am very lucky to have a very supportive wife who travels with me as well

I love my boots and tights in winter i have always loved slipping on some tights or pantyhose and a nice top …but my wardrobe does have a lot of nice light dresses for summer. ..will try that roll on tip as well sounds good but yes the chance to wear a variety of clothes is great. ..not to mention swimmers in summer

I understand what Michelle is saying and agree to a degree , but at the same time i can understand why this topic is being discussed .

When i first went out to shop in boy mode it would help my confidence to know that the store i was going to was TG friendly like the ones pointed out , this made me feel more comfortable right or wrong it just did .

Now after going shopping and being more conferdent in myself i now shop in any store with no problems boy or girl mode , but the first small bit of confidence was helped by knowing which places to go to at the start when all emotions and insecurities are running high .
I now can recommend Autograph in Blacktown for any girls out west Karen is wonderful and very helpful .

Thank you Gail it was a joy and a hug would have been nice from a girl knowing what I was going through and would have made it even better .thanks Petra

I agree if i could look as good as some i would give it a go as well , it would be great to be able to but alas …. im not even close to that good .

Mind you City Chic have a site where customers put there pics on and they show some of them i have thought about putting a pic on that …face well hidden though , or big sunnies , the lovely ladies at Autograph told me to do it they help me so much with clothes and lately i got a couple of very nice fitting bra’s and they suggested i go for it, but got to get the nerve up yet .
Seeing as nobody knows about Petra it is a bit risky but i think it would be so great to see my pic on their site , not quite modeling but it could be fun dont you think .

Finally did it , got my ears done last night , very clean place and the guy that did them was fantastic , he did have a lot of piecings himself and a very nice guy as well , it was pain free really not that it worried me anyway but i cant even feel them in my ears now and sleeping last night no problem , so very happy and excited , The Hair Warehouse in Blacktown is the place , Chris was the guy that did it for me .
Sat night at our friends xmas party is going to be the big night, so far ive not had any bad reaction from people around other than the usual ..why the hell ??
So i will follow the intstructions he gave me and i guess all will be well , cant wait to hit the shops for some new earings .
A small step for some i guess but a big step for me as only my wife knows about Petra , but im happy and thats all that matters right

[Petra]

Thanks Julia & Carol for that , may rethink this , i was going to use an old wig anyway but i need it for a weekend and if it falls apart im in trouble , so may just wade in the water and not worry about swimming as such … girls do that anyway right ??
I would not take my good wig in so looks like i know now what i have to do .
Thanks i did think it was going to be difficult but thanks anyway

I have a large pharmacy close by so will check them out I was going to going to go to a beauty and piercing place for a better selection of studs but now maybe the pharmacy will have what I need and sounds like a good price to ..thanks Terri

[Petra]

Im hopeful that I can get them done this week and I’m just going to go for a little black stud. Finding the time is difficult right now but it will be great when I can get them done . Anyone know a place out Blacktown way. I will just check out various places I guess. But looking forward to it ..my ears will be happy

[Petra]

I to have been wanting my ears done and keep putting it off for fear of what my friends say etc , my loving wife says just do it so after many months ive decided to get mine done over or before xmas as a wee treat for myself .
Its interesting only the woman have commented , im going to say its a mid life crisis …lol

I did not know about doing the hole higher or lower as i like the hoop earrings will ask about this when i get them done thanks for that little info Terri .
I find the clip on so uncumfortable and if worn for a long time my ears take days to feel better , so i look forward to not needing them .

Hi Glenda , i too have this problem but i did come across 2 rings from the chain store Autograph , they make clothes for the bigger ladies and i got a wonderful fitting pair of wedges from them as well , some of the bangles did and some didn’t quite fit and there range is small but give them a shot you may find some thing there .
As we do i walked out with 2 new tops and a dress as well so be careful ..lol

[Petra]

As much as i love winter for dressing in stockings boots etc and not over heating , i must say im looking forward to the warmer months as i have just got myself some swim wear and im looking forward to trying them out , i have never gone swimming dressed before so something to look forward to later this year .
Unless i can find a hot tub ..lol
I envey Michelle as i struggle in the warmer months to even keep make up on, i feel the heat mroe than other i guess , but i did get to wear my lovely summer dress this year and loved every min of it .

[Petra]

Hi Jannine . Im with you I love winter too and its just great to slip on some tights & boots with a nice outfit. Ive been working this weekend and sat was horrible as I work outside. But I just think of the nice outfits I can wear and indulge my tights & boots craving when im home or out .
Must go buy some more boots 😊

[Petra]

The list is so long on the things I would love to do .. but I did find a good idea to go hairless … I did the Greatest Shave . A charity event as most would know. Full wax and as they say ..BSC …and I have just carried it on since then. Even my mates have not questioned me about it … it is nice not worrying about legs etc ……..just a thought

Hi Bree
Im am much the same size as you and when i went to get my forms i was thinking the same thing , i was heading to the smaller size but lucky for me i went to see the great people at The Breast Form Store .
Here i was trying what i thought was right for me and then a suggestion from the sales lady was a D cup .
My partner and i thought the C cup was good , but then when i tryed on the D cup with the right bra ……….SOLD .
Our first thought was they would be to big but when i had them on my partner she was like yes thats the ones , and we never looked back .
Try finding a place and go try some on , it worked for me , now my partner is jealous of my breasts …lol lol 😆
