Hello, all! I'm Paige (femme name). I'm 48. I've been dressing since I was about 12. The first time was with my mother's 4" pumps, nylons and skirt. At the time, it was all very tingly and nice to be in women's clothes. Since then, I've experimented with different looks and discovered online stores catering to dressing.
I adore dressing in heels, skirts, and full makeup. Being a 6'3" average built man, its difficult to find clothes, but I manage. When en femme, I'm actually not bad looking. The clothes aren't really the issue. I'm starting to feel the pull to go out, and BE out in public. I've gone out in the car fully dressed; gone to an ATM, the gas station...just enough to give a fleeting glance of myself. I get so nervous that I'll be seen. Lately, though, I feel like I want to be seen, and just be me. I know very few people out and about actually pay attention to the people around them. I just worry that I'll run into someone I know.
Anyway, that's me. I'm glad to be here and hope to be able to contribute to the group.
