Within the last week I have just discovered Susan's Place and I decided to sign on. I was in the chat room a few times and I really liked it.
I am a 44 year old, married crossdresser with two children and a tolerant / supportive wife. My children are unaware of my need to dress.
I tend to dress more in the summer and then less so throughout the year but that seems to be changing a little bit.
About 10 days ago I decided to have my first ever makeover. This included a manicure, pedicure, make-up application and hair style. It was a wonderful experience! I was going to go out of town on my own for a few days but I decided to ask my wife along. She, surprisingly, agreed. Grandma watched the kids and away we went. I had a blast. However, at the end of the time, my wife discovered that she had a more difficult time with me being dressed for such an extended time. We went shopping, and out to eat together each night. I even went swimming in the hotel pool with her (in my pinkish one-piece!) We had a good discussion and talked about limits and what makes her uncomfortable.
Just yesterday, we impulsively decided to go to a Renaissance Faire. The kids didn't want to go so we went alone. SHE suggested that I go as Denise and I jumped at the chance! It was so wonderful to be out in public and be addressed as "ladies" throughout the day.
Those are two recent experiences. In my spare time I like to garden (vegetable and flower), knit, do digital video work, walk, and play games with my kids.
I look forward to meeting many new people here in the supportive environment of Susan's Place.
