Dannie

An introdcution starts with a name so hello all, I'm Dannie. I'm getting a little older and I've decided to quit worrying about dressing and just go for it. Like so many others, there were several purges along the way, all regreted, and now that I have a bit of a collection of lingerie, and even a dress I found that fits great, I am much more positive in mind and heart. My things went from being kept in a plastic bag, carefully hidden away, to a little suitcase, still hidden away from family and friends but when I have a chance to spend some time alone with myself out it comes. My reality doesn't include passing as of yet (if ever) but my imagination tends to go where it wants and has led me to at least go out with panties underneath. I actually found this webiste as it was one that I googled that appears not to be blocked by the corporate firewall where I work. One thing I get frustrated about is trying to buy some new things. I am painfully shy about shopping, though I recall 20 years or so ago buying a few things at a second hand store. I also used to order from JC Penny, with made-up identity, to pick up at the counter and pay cash. I'm not sure if this is still an option but I've decided on a new plan that would have me use gift cards. I have been 'found out' in the past and still deal with the paraniod feelings of discovery, but as I mentioned at the top, I enjoy this too much, and it is too big a part of me to deny. I also now understand its part of my sexuality, and consider myself to be bisexual, something I have experimented with a bit, but never combined with my dressing. Having such a rich and complex sense of sexuality is what makes the world special, and I don't think I'd want it any other way. Yours, Dannie

Hi Dannie,
Today was also my first posting...It is comforting to know that I am not alone.
About clothes...I usually order all my "things" online.That keeps it simple and
most sites have return policies in case there is a size problem.

Welcome, Dannie

Shopping can be a problem for some and the internet offers great deals but I still prefer to buy in person.  Shopping for myself can be fun.

I am visiting family in a distant city this week and have menaged to find a shoe store that has a fantastic collection of quality shoes, carries them in my size and running their year end sale...  How will I or can resist...  I need a new pair of basic black pumps anyway.

Welcome to Dannie & Susan S. Yes this story sounds very familiar when compared with my own and many others I have read. You will find that shopping gets easier the more you do it-it's the fear factor that keeps us from being ourselves. Have a read in some of the older posts about shopping for clothes (mine included). I remember when I wanted to buy myself a bra-oh was I afraid!! But afterwards I just had to laugh about it-I'm sure it would have been hillarious to watch. Good to have you both here with us.
