Laurette McGovern
Drag to set position!
February, 2019--the big 72!
March, 2021 update:
Just turned 74, and still going strong.
February, 2015, update:
Soon to be be 68, and still alive and kicking. The thought has occurred to me about how long I can keep on being "Laurette." Well, I cannot predict the future, but I would like to die with my (high-heeled) boots on, so to speak.
One other matter I should bring up: I think I have made it clear that I am not interested in men, especially seeing pics of their private parts. I have concluded that from now on any person whose page features such pictures will be blocked from my own pages and from making me a contact.
As of July 6, 2013, I am officially retired, free to be any day of the week and any day of the year.
I'm in my extremely late 50s (well, 66 to be exact), and you would think I would start acting my age. Well, I actually have been acting more mature lately. But, I'm a crossdresser who likes dressing up in all kinds of outfits with all sorts of looks: classy, casual, sophisticated, suggestive, you name it. I like short skirts, long skirts, low-cut dresses, high heels, stockings (especially with seams), petticoats, vintage look, historical costumes, anything as long as it is feminine. And I have a real need to be out to be seen--fairs, festivals, watering holes, lunches, malls, you name it. I guess my middle name really should be Vanity. All are welcome to be contacts, but I really don't appreciate nudity--please keep it to yourself.
September 20, 2009--
Apparently there are some who don't bother to read my profile, or who insult me and send me pics of nudity anyway. Up to now I have resisted blocking such people when they make me contacts, but from now on I will do exactly that: If someone makes me a contact, and I see pictures of genitalia (male of female), then I will block that person. It is quite obvious that we have nothing in common. I don't want to be your contact, and I don't want you to be mine. It's as simple as that.
Likewise, if someone has no pics of their own to share, then I will block them.
Update: February 19, 2013--
I must admit, now that I well into my 60s, that I am enjoying emulating the image of a mature woman. It actually makes it easier to dress, now that I don't have to worry about looking "young."

Laurette is a lovely, lady-like woman who has been a close online friend of mine for years. She is intelligent, fun, and always kind. Laurette is the type of woman who has a timeless beauty which only increases over the years. She is always so supportive and kind to me. I only wish she didn't live so far away,,,

Read lessLaurette McGovern has set a standard for us more mature matrons of the cross dressing/TV world. She still look exquisite in her 70s, which I would NOT mention except she has proudly announced. From where I stand she has YEARS ahead of very beautiful living!!!
Laurette has great style.

Dear Laurette, First of all I want to say how fabulous you look and ‘forever young’. You are such an inspiration to people like me, ie still newbies in this area. I especially like your historical series/adventures. Just to also say I would like so much to join your group, Care and Conversation. I tried to put my case but technical issues precluded. I like the look of the group and gentle trans feeling. Kind regards Hillary

Laurette is so nice. I say that in a sense of remembering conversations we've had, across the wide Atlantic Ocean............ she's helpful, encouraging, and great fun! Her dress sense is impeccable. Her many outings on the streets of her City show just how integrated she is to life in 2014, with dressing /transgender only going to grow larger---that's my belief. I am very glad to know her.

Hi I'm Katie. Laurette has a wonderful sense of relaxed style and timing in all her piccies, she has an easy humor in some of them too and it comes to the surface quite often, She has some of the nicest ensembles I ever could imagine for myself and I have used some of her ideas when taking my own pics. Yes I steal ideas! I smile every time I open her Flickr page to see what new delight she has sent us yet again. This is something I find myself doing quite often these days as she always has a new look or outfit to brighten up my day. Even if she wasn't such an attractive lady I suspect she would still be an Icon here on flickr because of her screen presence. I am glad I can call her a friend even if it is only a distant one. And I am glad she calls me one too. Thank's Laurette for some great inspirational outfits and for your kind and sometimes humorous comments on my pics and for your friendship too. Huge Huggers. Katie.

[By the way, Yogi Berra taught me how to add percentages when he managed the yankees]lol. I hope Laurette is a lifelong friend. Hugs Val.
