UPDATE APR 2018

================

I find it a little sad that many girls never seem to respond to comments.

They may feel happy to receive compliments, but I will never know.

I've adopted the sad practice of Unfollowing such girls :-(

 

UPDATE NOV 2017

================

Just a small update to say that my photos are restricted to Friends only.

Please ask (nicely!) if you'd like to be added.

 

UPDATE 2016/7

==============

Sadly, I am now virtually retired from dressing :-(

So, although I have called myself Diane, I am for all practical purposes now just an admirer called Derek.

 

Back in 2016, I had yet another show-down with my wife - I stupidly left a window open on my PC, with me logged into my then favourite website, tvChix. This led to another confrontation, since my wife had made it clear on numerous previous occasions that she couldn't stand the idea of me dressed as a woman; and, many would say, who could blame her?

 

Anyway, because I love her so much, and didn't want to cause her pain, I de-registered from tvChix (with a very heavy heart!), although I didn't leave Flickr !! I got very close to leaving, but couldn't bring myself to leave so many lovely friends, even if 'virtual'.

 

I then cast my mind back to late 2015, when my wife and I celebrated our golden wedding anniversary, and we hosted a LOVELY party for about 50 members of our extended families. It was an absolutely WONDERFUL experience !!

Thinking back, I realised that those 50 years have been extremely happy, with only one major problem between us - my dressing.

 

So, given so much happiness, and so loving a family, I appreciated that I had a mountain of blessings ! And the loss of my little 'hobby' (it was never an all-consuming necessity) was a small price to pay for the happy continuation of my family life. So I have absolutely no reason to feel depressed, or even just sorry for myself. As with many other things, we don't always get what we want in life, do we?

 

So here I am, Derek, counting one more blessing in my life, being here on Flickr !!

Although not an active participant in dressing any more, I am a MASSIVE admirer of those who do !! Yes, there is still a little residue of envy; but, mist of all, I feel the utmost happiness for so many lovely, LOVELY guy-girls living the dream ! ESPECIALLY when their wonderful wives / girl-friends lovingly support them - that is just BEAUTIFUL !!

 

I hope I remain here for ages and ages, offering compliments, and admiring so much beauty.

My love and hugs to you all !!

Derek

 

Please note that I have photographs currently set to be viewable by Friends and Family,

 

PREVIOUS PROFILE

================

Hi. I'm Diane.

I was born in 1942 (didn't think I'd put my current age - I'd have to keep on updating it every year!), married and retired, and have been a secret cross-dresser since I was about 13 or 14.

 

In the last few years I decided that "life's too short...", and for the first time started to buy my own clothes on eBay. What a relief and pleasure to actually be able to wear my own things instead of my wife's (I'm 6'2" and size 20, she's 5'7" and a 24...); and I actually managed to take some photos as well.

 

After a year or so I decided to be honest with my wife, thinking that (a) it is better to be honest than have a secret; and (b) if she accepted it, it would be so nice to share the fun, with her advising me on clothes selection, hair, make-up, etc.

 

At first it seemed as though it was going to be OK. She said something like, "I thought you were going to tell me something really serious, like you had cancer or something". She wanted to see my wig (which she thought didn't suit me!), and even gave me some black fish-net tights that she would never wear. I was so happy!!

 

Sadly it didn't last. Her attitude gradually deteriorated, until she couldn't stand the thought of it. I agreed to sell my lovely clothes, which I did (even made a profit on some!).

 

But of course I couldn't ever give it up, so a few months later I was out there buying again. This time lasted about another year before I was discovered. I was in hospital for a week or so, and she discovered my secret cache :-( Once again, it was almost a case of "Either the clothes go or you do", so the clothes went to charity shops.

 

Now I'm down to browsing eBay and dreaming, and visiting websites like Flickr and tvChix. I already have a few email 'pen-pals', some regular and gorgeous Tgirls, and some eBay sellers I've got to know. I'm now on the look-out for more friends, and although I'm never likely to be able to meet them, it would be lovely to exchange thoughts, and see pictures of those girls lucky enough to continue their dressing - hopefully some of them with the acceptance / approval of their partners! But I've already discovered that, as "Diane" has been relegated to the world of wishful thinking, I'm really left as a "male admirer"......

 

My philosophy on life, the universe and everything is "Do as you would be done by". I try to be honest (see above.....), and I hope I'm a good listener as well as a talker.

 

Love to all.

Diane

Hi Derek. Thank you for such a lovely, kind comment. At first I thought you might be one of the legion of HPWs that occasionally plague my timeline and I was ready to press the 'block user' button, but I read your profile and it resonates so very much. You describe feelings, experiences & doubts that are always at the back of my mind. Beth is a secret, stashed away in a darkened corner waiting to be found after a careless false nail or hair is left laying about, or, like you, a window left open on a laptop..... it's a very thin line some (many) of us walk for the sake of the joy this preoccupation brings us. You understand this as we all do, so the 'block user' button remains untouched, instead, the 'friends' button is pressed. Happy to have you along, enjoy what you see xxx

Hi Derek Many thanks for your kind comments on my photos. Your profile here is expressive and I'm so sorry you've had to put Diane away. "Being" a woman is part of me and I would find it impossible to stop. My wife knows and doesn't like it, but we remain friends because I keep my clothes and get dressed elsewhere. She just wants it out of the house. In normal times I can get out in public 3 or 4 times a week; it's insane how good that makes me feel. I'm also on tvchix as 'frillies'. Anyway, stay happy and I hope one day Diane will be able to return. Linda.

Hi Diane, (Derek), Such a shame you had to retire from Diane. You look very capable of being a woman and I think your wife is silly not to encourage your dressing. It does no harm although it being a bit embarrassing for her, which I understand. My wife hated my dressing for months then accepted it was what I wanted to do which I have done for 14 years now. She made the decision that if I became her maid I could dress. I agreed immediately. But she then befriended another woman Diane who became her partner. Diane is far more of a dog than my wife and I have to be THEIR maid now and allowing my male self do disappear into the past. Diane having requested me to let her use my finances to dress ensures I still stay as Sandra. Love to discuss things with you.

Dear Derek, I could have written that myself. Have told the wife, and at first she seemed to accept asking questions etc, then changed, I have started to dispose of my fun items and like you, will observe with envy, the gorgeous girls putting in the effort. Xxx
