Hello and welcome to my photo album displaying just some of the clothing, footwear and accessories that I have in my extensive collection. I don’t have time to photograph myself wearing all of my purchases, which is why I include catalogue photos until such times as I can photograph me wearing the items. I am not a big fan of labels or tags, however, if asked to describe myself I would say that, I’m just your average guy who loves to wear absolutely anything that a woman might wear. I dress as often as I possibly which is normally every weekday evening as soon as I get home and have a shower, almost all weekend and when I’m in bed but, during the period where I was furloughed during the COVID lockdown I was dressed en femme 24/7 (sheer bliss). The dress style that I try to achieve is best described as smart on trend, and age appropriate. I can still get my choice of outfit wrong but in recent years I think my overall ability to coordinate outfits has improved greatly.

I think it’s important to clarify that, despite what you see my photos, I am not a smoker, I have never smoked and never will but, I love using them as a prop when taking photos and especially when wearing a pair of leather or suede gloves from my extensive collection, I sometimes take it a bit further by actually lighting a cigarette which I find visually quite erotic. I consider myself to be down to earth, sociable, open minded and genuinely love chatting with others over a coffee or online about my passion for all things feminine.

The clothing that you see on my Flickr page has all been bought by me mostly in recent years. Items that I have had for years can sometimes get a new lease of life when I realise that it goes perfectly with a new purchase, something that can happen usually by accident. I really love receiving comments so if you like what you see, please leave a message, as I genuinely appreciate all nice comments.

I don’t get out en femme as often as I used to before COVID but I like to think that in time this will change. I used to enjoy shopping trips to the likes of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth and St Andrews, and once or twice a year I used to stay for two or three nights in a hotel and would be 100% en femme throughout my trip which was a fantastic all round experience. I have a very extensive collection of clothing, footwear and accessories so I am generally spoilt for choice and like most women I will spend absolutely ages trying to decide what to wear then at the last minute I will often change my mind and put something different on.

I love wearing absolutely anything that emphasises my feminine side and especially my favourite perfumes which are, Estée Lauder, “Youth Dew” and Estée Lauder “Beautiful”. I combine wearing these with the Estée Lauder matching body lotions. In my opinion these must be the sexiest scents on the planet. When going out I normally prefer to wear my Estée Lauder “Beautiful” as it has a strong and very long lasting scent, and at the weekends I normally opt to wear “Youth Dew”.

Looking back at many of my earlier photos I have to admit that, more often than not, I got my choice of outfits badly wrong but, Flickr’s decision to limit the free account to 1000 photos has meant that I have used this as a convenient excuse to delete many of my older photos. These days I am a lot more relaxed about who I am although my confidence has dropped significantly especially when it comes to going out in public since COVID. When it comes down to it, I own my own space and whatever I chose to do in that space is my business, if anyone has an issue with how I dress then it’s their problem. That said, it’s also fair to say that, although attitudes in this country have changed substantially for the better over the last twenty years, there have been some events just recently that seem to stigmatise certain people like myself. Toilet facilities are now a minefield issue, I mean honestly, where do they expect us to go when we need the toilet? I like to think that most people are more relaxed and inclined to accept those of us in the transgender community and how we choose to dress. I honestly couldn’t give a hoot about anyone or anything when I have to use the ladies toilet when I’m out, I simply want to use the toilet as quickly as possible and with the least amount of fuss.

For others like me who enjoy dressing but who might be afraid to go out in public en femme I would say that, you just have to give it a try, and I guarantee you will won’t regret it. Life is too short and too precious to deny yourself the pleasure of going out en femme all because you are worried what some small minded people might say or think, although personally I have never had any negative comments or responses from anyone despite having been on numerous days out fully en femme. I have been dressing since my childhood but only started going out fully en femme on a regular basis about fifteen years ago and I just wish that I had done it sooner.

I love the classy look which more often than not doesn’t come cheap, I have spent an absolute fortune over the years and it has become quite a serious addiction that I genuinely need to get a grip of. I love chatting about feminine fashion, makeup or girly stuff and am comfortable when dressed meeting men or others who share my passion. I am happy to meet and or chat with any crossdressers providing they make the same kind of effort as I do when dressing. I would never condemn, look down or have anything negative to say about any guy who doesn’t dress to my standard because quite simply, if all you want is to wear are women’s knickers or some pvc then that’s your choice and I respect that. My preference is always to blend into the crowd, and draw as little attention to myself as possible, I hopefully achieve this with meticulous attention to detail.

Life is far too precious, we are only on this planet for a relatively short period and unfortunately there’s no reset button to hit if and when we get it wrong. Life is unpredictable (COVID proved that) and we have a growing tendency as human beings to worry about so many things that never actually happen. What we should do is to take each day as it comes and be grateful for what we have and not focus on the things that we don’t have. We can often look back and regret not doing things when we had the opportunity (again COVID proved that) but going out in public en femme shouldn’t be on your list of regrets when looking back. Over the last twenty years attitudes towards the LGBT community in the U.K. has improved in leaps and bounds to such and extent that going out in public en femme is a lot more acceptable these days, and dare I say, a normal thing to do.

I would encourage anyone who shares my passion for dressing to go out in public sooner rather than later but, do it in stages. I started on my public journey by wearing lingerie under my male clothing, then I later added a unisex jacket, then I would swop my male tee shirt for a plain self coloured top and jeans all of which were purchased in the ladies departments much of which could almost pass for male clothing. It didn’t take me too long to realise that no one seemed to bother about what I was wearing so I moved on to wearing more feminine items and in particular I paid a lot of attention to applying makeup to what I consider to be an acceptable standard, and wearing a decent quality wig which you can purchase for very little on Amazon. Every time I went out in public I would push myself just a little bit further outside my comfort zone which would increase my confidence for my next outing. The whole process of going out en femme is extremely exhilarating and totally addictive although my reasons for dressing have absolutely nothing to do with any form of sexual gratification. When I dress en femme the woman that I am inside is released from her male shackles and I am free to enjoy life like any other woman. When I’m dressed it’s as if my mind slips into neutral, I become Christine and any worries or stressors that I have will disappear or become so trivial that I can easily brush them aside and simply enjoy my feminine persona. I don’t have any issues or concerns when using the ladies changing rooms or toilets although this has recently become quite a decisive topic that has led to a change in the law. Now more than ever you are required to use common sense and good judgement to help avoid any unnecessary negative reactions or unwanted attention especially if using the toilets. Disabled toilets are a safer option as long as you are mindful that someone with a disability might also need to use the toilet.

Live life to the full, be kind, considerate and respectful to others, take every day as it comes and try not to worry about things that you have no control over, live in your own bubble and take everything as it comes.
