December 2018
Time has been reasonably kind given my age, now sixty-six. I've a full and satisfying life in most ways. I've a loving family, wife, son and grandkids along with wonderful sisters. My wife and sister know of my "other" me and are kind and accepting for the better part.
My goal here is to continue friendships garnered over the years and to offer aid to some who may be lacking in confidence and experience and who may not have family supportive or worse, openly negative. Of course I love the attention afforded by others in no small measure.
I hope to be able to continue being both me's for some time to come but am very aware that time is drawing short.
Best wishes to all kind folk out there and thank you for any kind thoughts given.
If boredom is your aim.....................read on. All info below is still accurate.

April 2015
Several major personal losses have been endured since 2012 but all of natural cause though still painful to the heart and mind.
I'm fortunate to have quite a few wonderful friends on Flickr. Thank you all.
My family life other is full and happy and though age is taking toll it is viewed and lived with the best grace possible.

August 2013
Returning after two months of not having suitable opportunity to dress and it's nice to be back. So far 13 has been a much better year than several prior. Thanks to all who have been friends here.
----------------------------------------------------------
November 2012 Update
Have been absent from Flickr for about 10 months and not dressed in nearly two years until this month. Still cleaning the webs and not sure the level at which participation is possible.
There are many kind souls here and I am fortunate to have the virtual company of a few.

The Old Testament Revamped
I appreciate any kind and respectful notice however if you add me as a contact it is unlikely I will add you unless I can see by your profile and/or photos that you are a sincere and courteous TG or GG.
Now the rest.
An on again off again participant.
Self employed essentially all my working life and started / owned small businesses including a retail/wholesale paging hardware and monthly service entity from the mid eighties until 2006 and a rare coin concern from 1997 until the present as well as consistently observing and participating in financial markets over many years.
I've been athletic in nature having had some success at college and a bit beyond while consistently running, now over 25000 miles since the age of 20 and still several hundred each year now.
My wife is fully aware of my dressing but does not want others to know. She is tolerant if not overjoyed. She is a beautiful caring woman who is my best friend.
I have been out many times while dressed and seem to attract little attention but those excursions are always done alone.
Dressing as I do provides peace and solace and it allows me to, for a while, forget some things which are less than desirable in life.
My full view photos are not manipulated other than cropping and brightening a bit and closeups are same.
I'm 5'9 1/2" in stocking feet and weigh 168, shooting for 160 again. Size 12 dresses, 10 pants. Women's size 10 shoe. I do all of my own makeup even if a bit too much but then you really don't want to see me in male mode now do you?.
Thanks,
Michele

I can’t imagine the Just Class Flickr world without Administrator Michele Bennet. I only know it would be a much different, much less comforting place. She has been consistently beautiful, thoughtful, caring, and humorous. As a lifelong learner, I am grateful to her for being an exemplar of "classy lady." Her photos are warm invitations to journey, her comments authentic, and her writing is always worthy of a second read…or more. What a priceless treasure! Thank you Michele, for being our companion on this journey. Appreciatively, Nora

Michele is a shining testimonial to the the upper limit of how kind, gracious, and beautiful any person can be. Better yet - she represents all that is good in her efforts to help the transgender community and provide groups, and support to the thousands of people out there struggling to understand and accept their mixed gender journey through life. We are fortunate to have someone like Michele out there ,... and of course she is just gorgeous too...what a wonderful lady!.

Being the founder of Just Class, Michele knows what good taste is about.. She is straight-forward, and great to deal with. As regards her dressing, I rate it nothing less than first-class, always. Her make-up and style are spot-on..............and her pictures echo that. In addition, her videos are something else, quite superb! Outings --- sometimes with in-store commentaries--- are great to behold. Finally I have found her very friendly and willing to give advice when sought. Long life to you!
Read lessYou are a true sweetheart, being kind and so helpfull to others. We have only met very recently, but I do already feel such a strong connection. Hope we can stay in touch, and become good friends.
I am amazed that I haven't done this before now. I like this lady immensely because she makes me smile, Not necessarily by way of her her wit and the series of fun video's but more by her presence which is so easy and friendly.

I am amazed that I haven't done this before now. I like this lady immensely because she makes me smile, Not necessarily by way of her her wit and the series of fun video's but more by her presence which is so easy and friendly. I don't say gushing things about people, I think it sounds so False and it isn't my style at all, but with that in mind I Will however say that Michele is a different breed, and the world could use a few more like her to make it a better place to be in. We all wish we could meet together as a happy little group or at least we say we would but I know that meeting this lady would be a really nice experience and I hope we can do lunch "as they say" some day or an evening out with the girls, I think that would be really nice.. Michele, you're a gem! Huggers. Katie.

My dear friend Michelle is one of those very special women that remind me of the Otis Redding song....You don't miss your water, 'till your well runs dry !' Michelle is always supportive, witty, fun and a friend...but often in a very low key manner. On the odd occasion that she is not around, we all suddenly realise that things aren't quite as they should be ! The sign of a lovely person, is that they are missed... M is always missed. She looks fabulous, I adore her humour and she is just a lovely friend to me... xx Kelly

Read lessMichele has become an inspiration and penpal for me. There is no pretense to her and she exudes self-confidence. Her encouraging and inciteful notes to me have been an elixir to me in some difficult times in my life. In addition, Michele is stylish and charming. I am glad to know her.

My dear, sweet girlfriend Michele - how can I convey in a few words what a wonderful woman you are? Well, more than anything it is typified by your wonderfully warm and generous welcoming of me to this little community. It feels like a very sweet big sister has taken me under her wing and made me feel safe, loved and accepted. But I have come to understand that this is just who you are, for beneath the skin of that very pretty girl that is plain for all to see, is an even more lovely woman who is tender, caring and so very real. Bless you my honey - you're a treasure. Love, Sophie xoxo
Read lessMichele is my Mommy. Always ready to chat and laugh. She has been incredibly supportive and her kind words and compliments thrill me to the core. More than that though, her sense of style and class is an inspiration to me. I hope I can grow up to be as wonderful a woman as she is.
michele is an absolutely total sweetheart. so beautiful in every way. she is ever so attentive to her friends and contacts. i feel fortunate to have crossed her path.
Thru flickr I have found a true friend and sister. The more we discuss the more I realise how similar we are and how truly beautiful Michele is not only on the outside but on the inside also. A very kind and caring woman. I am honoured to have her as a fiend Amanda
This girl is not to be trusted...she posts prettier photos than us....sends lovely mail...and comes across as a totally loveable person...simply has to be an alien....and I love her

This past year has been such a godsend for thru Flickr I have met some of the most amazing and inspirational women. None are more amazing, or anymore inspirational than my dear "sister" Michelle. Many of our stories find similarities when we introduce ourselves to one another after all we all have the "gift"; but I suspect a secret "cloning" lab in the 50's, with accidental dispersion because M and I have "linked" souls! It's like talking to "yourself", but instead a "mirrored nod, one gets back the most incredible sensations of acceptance, encouragement and love. My spirit has "wings" because of our friendship dear M! Much love hon! Di'

Michele came to this Flickr tgirl world fully formed. When I first was lucky enough to stumble upon her pictures I wondered "Who is this beautiful lady?" So let us just get the obvious out of the way, she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen! And to top off her inherent beauty, she is one of the classiest women around. It is an honor to call her my friend. The first time that I emailed her she responded almost immediately. She is so well mannered. I would love to go out with her for afternoon tea and then maybe to a Sunday afternoon showing of one of those French psychological dramas. I am proud to call Michele one of my friends. I look forward to a long term relationship!
