Took my first step

[Magnolia88]

I've taken my first baby steps in my journey from mtf. I purchased a wig, makeup set, and a cute black dress from amazon. I was a little nervous, but whoever saw my name on the order doesn't know me so it didn't matter. I was actually giddy when it arrived. It felt like Christmas morning. Everything came exactly how I ordered it in great condition. I still live with my dad who I'm not out to yet so I've had to find some good hiding spots to store it until I get the chance to wear it. I've never put makeup on before, so that'll be fun to learn. I can't wait to see myself all dressed up and what I'll look like. I'm finally gonna get to see the real me.

Welcome to the closet lol I'm happy for you!

I was lucky enough to have clothes readily available at home because my mother buys clothes of all sizes to donate or sell. Ever since I can remember I would play dress up in private. I've never actually tried makeup on though, it will be fun to try it on

Thank you. I remember playing with my moms stuff. I used to try on her nail polish. One time, I wanted to dye the hair of a halloween mask from grey to brown. She actually did it, but it didn't work. If that wasn't the biggest sign of things to come, I don't know what is.

Congratulations on your first step!

It's LOTS of butterflies in the beginning, but it will get better. Just take your time, you decide the pace.

I also buy most of my cloths on internet and I often know what I'm looking for when I do. I hate shopping.

The good thing about Amazon is you can have it delivered remotely to storage boxes outside the supermarket or elsewhere if you're worried about the folks opening the mail.
When I put on makeup I feel like a whole other person. I always thought I was some kind of model. I like to wear fashionable clothes even though I am older than dirt. There are many YouTube instruction video's. I like Wayne Goss in particular. He is a professional makeup artist. But there are many others. A little practice anc viola. If you share computers with your folks, be sure to clear your cache and history before turning off.

If you have a hanger with a rung, you could put your dress on that rung (folded in the middle) and put a button-up shirt on top of it, on the slanting parts. Invisible, but you know your little darling in your wardrobe where it belongs.
