Post by: tammygirluk on January 20, 2006, 04:08:51 PM
Today im one step closer to being able to dress up fully as a woman. i brought alot of things today online including a wig which i will use untill my hair grows long enough.
i spent quite a bit on a good quality wig.i also brought some trousers ,tops and a few other things including some wax so i can remove unwanted hair i also got some breast things. soon i will be able to dress up as my female self.
i cant wait im so happy about this.

HI Tammy,

I remember that excited and yet nervousness Leah had when we started getting things together for her. Have fun and enjoy yourself.
The wig is a good place to go a bit higher on cost for quality. We have been very pleased with Paula Young. We found her site on the inter net too.

Smiles,
Peggiann

Nice wig Tammy. Be careful to follow the instructions on caring for your wig because that can become unmanageable if not cared for properly.

What a beautiful wig. You got good taste. Love shopping online. I know what Shelley means, made the mistake of not caring for my first wig the right way. Now I follow the instrutions.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

I love shopping online too only problem is not many sites seem to take visa electron :( they take all over visa,s but not electron.

i cant wait to get my wig i read online that you need special shampoo etc for it.

i also brought alot off of ebay lastnight becuase paypal take electron
i brought this lovely slip & these lovely pull on trousers which iv been looking out for ,for a long time but i could never find any in my size or the style i liked untill now :) the only thing i need to get now is a few more tops & trousers and some shoes but im not sure about shoe size. im a uk 13 in shoe size they have womans uk 13 size on ebay but i dont know if womans shoe size 13 is the same as a mens 13 lol.

Post by: Peggiann on January 21, 2006, 10:51:16 AM
Depending on the style of the shoe sometimes it takes a size and a half to two sizes larger in female shoes  for them to fit the male foot.

That can be hard to find but the Wiki pages may have some help there.

Oh ho, another shopping maven has been created.  That's great tammy.  Shop till you drop.  I find that shopping is sooooo therapeutic, and rumor has it that it is good for the heart and soul.  Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

Steph

P.S.  I've heard some horror stories about wigs and open flames such as BBQ's and lighting cigarettes...  Take heed.

Post by: tammygirluk on January 21, 2006, 01:43:14 PM

Glad your feeling better about yourself. Keep going girl.
Yes shopping is good threapy for me too. But sometimes not my pocketbook. ;D
Yes it's my my motto too: "Shop till you drop."

I should be getting my new wig and other items by the end of the week and as each day passes i get more excited.

i made one big mistake though.I didnt realise it untill today but i brought 2 items on ebay using my dads ebay id and now iv gotten good feedback from the 2 items and i just hope my parents dont see it becuase i think i would get in to trouble if they found a sholder bag and matching purse on their id.

When i get my wig i will take a pic on my digi cam and post it on here.

The only bad part from buying online is the wait. Been watching the mail box for two new outfits I bought thursday. ::)
Do be carefull when wearing the wig, as a smoker I have almost singed the tip of one of my wigs. So now I use hair clips to hold the hair back when I light up. I guess I should just stop smoking.

Brandi

Post by: tammygirluk on January 23, 2006, 09:44:34 AM
I smoke too but i wont smoke when im wearing it.
It is the hard part waiting for items to arrive.

Im hoping my trousers will come tomorrow and maybe a few other bits

I got the following im waiting for :

1 wig 2 sets of cami tops n matching knickers 1 pair of trousers 1 slip some wax some breast foams and 2 orders of cosmetics & skin care products from boots & 1 shoulder bag + purse

Ok, the bottom purse is too cute!

Make sure you have a plan for when they find out Tammy.
Title: Re: closer
Post by: tammygirluk on January 23, 2006, 05:06:20 PM
I cant realy think of a plan.theres no one i could have brought that for and i cant get the seeler to withdraw the feedback.

all i can do is hope that my parents dont check thier feedback for 2 months.

I guess some day they are going to have to know the full truth about me. I would like to tell them but i know how they would react.

my mum knows i have clothes but im not sure if my dad knows

I want a sex change but i dont think i could do it becuase i think it would upset my parents and i think they would be upset too becuase they wouldnt have any grandkids.

At this point in my life i dont want children of my own and i dont think i will ever want too but still one day i might.people change and feelings change so i dunno. i could do it and i could be happy but on the other hand it could make things worse for the future.

Post by: stephanie_craxford on January 23, 2006, 05:43:56 PM
As Kimberly said Tammy, you should have some sort of excuse ready just in case they do find out.  You could always try telling them that it wasn't what you ordered and the jerk at the other end shipped you the wrong items.  Kinda clumsy but you could refine it.

I kinda like both purses.

Post by: Kimberly on January 23, 2006, 06:23:05 PM
Hrm. Your kind of in a pickle doll...

Ok, consider this one...
Write out (or print out, same difference) what you feel and why you feel... everything (relative to being TG that is.). Be sure to point out that it isn't a choice but rather simply it is what you are. Point out that the condition is known, is treatable and is not a bad thing, but that it does need to be treated. If you try to ignore it/suppress it or anything but face it down and accept it that it hurts and is detrimental. Wishing it away does not work... does not help. Etc.
Tailor the above thoughts to match your situation and thoughts of course.

Then save this in a safe location and give it to them should they ever discover you before you are ready to tell them.

It would probably be a good idea to have other relevant information handy as well.

...

I understand, but be so very careful. Look at both sides before you commit to anything. ... Trying to be a husband when you are a girl... well, sometimes you have to live for yourself. A variation of a saying I like is fitting, "Your life, not theirs."  It is also worth remembering that although they would almost certainly love to have grandkids they almost certainly want their child to be happy.

P.s. I am happy to talk with parents or anyone else if that is deemed useful by the way.

Yes, shopping is like Christmas! Especially shopping for girl's clothes!

I just wish I could...

There's a Wal mart about a mile or so from my house and I always think of just walking over there while I'm alone and buying some clothes... I hate Wal mart though and the clothes are cheap... but anything works...  you know...

Not getting a sex change is one thing, but getting married and having kids in order to make your parents happy is quite another.  As Kimberly already pointed out, the results could be disasterous.  I am reminded here that I am fortunate that my parents don't care whether I produce any grandkids for them.  Just thinking about what it would involve - going against my sexual preference, having to endure an unwanted pregnancy, and then having to either play a gender role I don't fit or explain my situation to spouse & kids (that I didn't want in the first place).........  >:( that would drive me absolutely insane.  Definitely NOT worth it, no matter who I made happy.

My two cents.

thats one thing im not trying to do is supress it or ignore it but i have done in the past but im happy with who i am now.

but as you say iv should look at both sides and i will.

im thinking about it now and i fear making things worse but at the same time it could make things better but its just a case of taking time and thinking whats best for me its not something i can decide easily.

i think my biggest fears are being alone ,not being able to have someone to love & also how others may treat me but i guess thats one of the prices you pay.

i dont like playing the role of a gender that others want you to play.

I tried to shut crossdressing out of my life for a year and i couldnt do it and i wouldnt ever want to do it again.
Title: Re: closer
Post by: Kimberly on January 24, 2006, 04:46:23 AM
I think you have the right idea Tammy (=

But know that accepting yourself for who you are and working to make life better for yourself does not mean you will be alone.

The world is made up of all types, some just adore some of the strangest things.

Post by: tammygirluk on January 24, 2006, 07:24:12 AM
I think im going to work at this and make it work.
