Funny, because of the institution of the trendy wine bar, I think it's more 'In Vino Lies, Boasts, Exaggeration and General Cow Excrement'.

In Vino Lies, Boasts, Exaggeration and General Cow Excrement

That would mean it's catching up to beer and ale.

looks like we will have to be dedicated cider drinkers

Good for you then Pica.  But I'm with Ben Franklin (Famous American Guy) who said: "God gave us beer because he wanted us to be happy."  I'm down with that.

so here's my list of things to do to feel femme:

get drunk
dress up
get more drunk

btw..you sure are a cutie Starbuck

Funny enough I don't like to drink when I'm dressed up.  Some things are better at home.

wait... you have to drink naked? :S Thats where

but of course, it skips that fumbling with the bra thing.

Hmm... a lucid dream isn't a bad way to feel, and look feminine. Particularly when you can adapt your entire dream world to accommodate you and your wishes. However, failing that, a good meditation session or trance experience works wonders. For me, anyway. It's nice to be able to be the real me, the person I am inside, without any restrictions.

I'll... go dance with the squirrels under a full moon or something, lol.

When I'm getting ready to go out...showering, putting on my lingerie, doing my hair and make up, deciding what I'm going to wear, and finally pulling on those black pumps...
All of that really shifts me into my femme state of mind.

First it was the undies. I like the feeling of the elastic around my hips and thighs. Then shaving and applying fragrant lotion all over. Then I do my nails, but I only paint my toes. I wear a bra under a heavy jacket in the winter, sometimes with fake boobs. This is funny, I've been caught by women who knocked me off in public places after they realized my chest wasn't just pectoral muscle.

I also gaf, tape my penis and scrotum back to give the appearance of a flat crotch. It looks good but it cuts off circulation.

I used to wear pantyhose but they are cold in the winter so now I wear wool tights. A little more expensive but definitely worth the extra dollars.

Pantyhose, because getting cocooned from toes to waist in tight nylon feels so different from what I normally wear.

That'd be my vote, too.  I like them, and they are something you can wear hidden to make you feel girly on the inside even if you have to keep up the manly on the outside.    And I think they're one of the few garments that are really almost completely feminine, in that men have pretty much nothing analagous to them.  With perhaps the exception of bras, but those are fairly pointless if you've got nothing to put in them.

you do realise men used to wear tights (hose) before women?

For me, it is waking up in the morning and not having to deal with 'Him' any more.  I now see the woman I am in the mirror, even on my worst days.

I get that with my boyfriend.... Whenever we are out, or even just at home, and he smiles and says 'i love you'. I feel like the goddess of hte world ^_^

Yeah, I think I'm the one that brought that up in another topic.    But it hasn't been true for a long, long time...  So much so that in today's world, it's basically almost entirely a feminine thing.

And while 'tights' may have been a manly thing in days past, it hasn't been true since the invention of nylon, for sure.

For me I really feel femme when I am wearing a beautiful dress, with thigh high stockings and nice shoes.

tights are hose

High, strappy heels. I hardly ever wear them, so when I do, it's extra special and makes me feel really girly.
