Hi, Sahara! Welcome to Susan's. I started out by crossdressing, since it just felt right, since I have done female things for many years now. Then I went from there, wanting to fill out the bras that I had. I have had very good success in that department and want to take it further. I fully can relate to going into public places dressed up. That would be my problem as well. You definitely have a friend with me. I am no longer a "spring chicken," but I do know that we all should have a place in this world no matter what our age or choice of gender is.
