Found a very cute black pleated mini skirt yesterday while shopping. It had been placed on a different rack and I never found the "home base". But it happened to be my size and a great price and was right there, so I bought and have been happily wearing it most of today with a soft yellow T-shirt... maybe a bit short for my age but incredibly comfortable... -

Hmm. Interesting thought ... It does seem like it starts get red underneath the patch after I shower ... Where would one get the surgical tape? Regular Pharmacy? -

Same here. Although recently, I've been paying more attention to what women wear casually but still have an overtly feminine look. I saw a woman at a locally that had the same pair of ladies' Adidas sneakers I recently bought and looked at how she worked them into her outfit; just yoga leggings with an oversized shirt but she looked really good. Tricky part is getting the perfect shirt length for that type of outfit -

My first time out was at a Wal-Mart. I was wearing a black/green black-watch skirt, black turtleneck sweater, green tights and black ankle boots. As I walked through the door it hit me that I'd probably made a tactical error. Instead of blending in, my choice of outfit was so different from the typical Wal-Mart shopper that I drew instant attention. In the end, I got a nice compliment from a young lady who asked where I'd bought my skirt and smiles from several men. The vast majority of my wardrobe comes from Talbot's and J. Jill and tends to be less casual than most women wear these days. But, it makes me feel good about myself and gives me confidence in myself....and that can't be a bad thing. -

A fairly regular stop when I am going to the big city for a day of feminine self-expression is a “Total Wine” store. The town where I live is quite small, so it lacks a lot of the shopping options of Reno (my big city), and a well-stocked liquor store is one of them. Many of the store clerks have come to know Sally, but one clerk in particular, a sixty-something woman, always makes a big deal about my wardrobe. She has probably waited on me a half a dozen times, and each time, she asks me “what’s the special occasion? You are dressed so nicely.” I have always said thanks but never elaborated. Last weekend, however, while grabbing a bottle of wine, the same woman waited on me, and she asked me again about the special occasion. This time, I made a point to tell her I wasn’t dressed for anything special, instead, that the way I dress tends to be my preferred style. I told her it was my nature to be quite particular about my appearance. And then I leaned a little closer and whispered: “besides, I think I have nice legs and like showing them off,” alluding to the fact that my preferred wardrobe usually includes a skirt, stockings, and heels. She smiled brightly at my legs comment and then she added: “too bad more people don’t pay closer attention to what they wear.” Then she went on to tell me how badly some people dress when they come into the store. I realize, that my wardrobe is generally upscale, and I imagine it gets people’s attention the same way it got the store clerk’s. Most people these days dress with comfort in mind which tends to make me stand out a bit. That’s okay. Wearing female business attire as my go to style, makes me happy and helps me feel feminine, even if it does sometimes, force me to explain that I’m not dressing for a special occasion. -

Hi everyone, hope your all doing well. After a week on holiday with my girlfriend, I'm back. I've got the urge to dress as jayne. I have to get my "fix" whenever I can, tomorrow I'll probably be John again. I'll drop in again. See you all again soon, hugs and kisses 🥰 -

I'm starting to normalize a bit. Perhaps what happened to me this summer was character assassination because of my political involvement. I'm way too optimistic normally to think anything other than it was just intense intellectual lessons. I just soak everything up and grow as much as I can. I essentially spent August 2024 homeless and without any musical instruments. After a short adjustment period, I was playing drums on my thighs with my hands and singing. All the perfect pitch study that I have done in the last 3+ decades came in handy with the singing. I'm still working on getting my hands to move properly when I'm singing, but all that work helped me out. I've got an amazing 6 string bass now and I've taken to it quite rapidly unlike the decade it took me to get used to the 5 string I had previously. I've got the high string tuned to a C and it helps to give me a lot more fingering options that make it match my normal trombone range. My slapping skills are coming in handy and the practice I've been doing the last few years with more advanced thumb technique are amazing. I've only had it for three days now. Just amazing. As far as Portland goes, I still feel connection with this city and the many gender non-conforming people in it. Things became really distressing with my personal friends and the larger jazz music community and I just flat out cut ties with all of them. I've always been bad at saying no to people. I learned to say no to drugs in 2003 and that has turned out to be an excellent skill and choice. I suppose I'm doing that with friends now. Still working on getting into long haul trucking. Some of my best music from 23years ago was composed and recorded in a car much smaller than these big rig trucks. It should work out well. As much as I like coding software, it feels good to not be coding for a living and dealing with that industry. With all the money in the world, I could setup a nice studio and play music all day long, but I'd likely get bored with that and want to do something, like trucking. It's kind of insane, but likely true. I'm not into playing musical gigs at all and I feel a lot of bad vibes around that decision. Perhaps the only way to truly see me perform is to have a CDL and do team trucking with me? Talk about exclusive! I'm just very intimate like that. And perhaps a little crazy!! I'm laughing. I love the way I do things, but it isn't easy. I coded this wonderful website scraper the other day. I always wanted to find a pocket of time to do that project and it finally happened. ONward!

Ah April, never a truer word. Until my partner came along, I think, no I know as a certitude that my life had gone very dark. When I think back to the child I was, and the adult I became, because I had to, for self-preservation, I shuddered. In many ways my partner brought the child that was back to the forefront, and in some inscrutable way even more so with their passing. So I can say categorically that the beauty I felt inside when innocent has re-emerged. Thank you for recognising that, April. Im so glad to have found the people here, and I'll try to help any way I can, how I can. I do have connections with America, through bloodlines. Its a long, complicated story. Much the same as my life - as Im sure many of yours are. In some ways my life seems to have been one epic Caamora* that culminated in Vicki's death, and continues to this day, in its final stages. *anyone who's read Thomas Covenant will know this word - really a purification ceremony involving pain & fire, but with metaphysical overtones* It seems that I need to do this, and Im very very happy to do so.

It's so amazing when we have spouses that support us, isn't it? And, I agree. There is just something about a dress or a skirt/skort that makes me feel pretty. Enjoy!!
