And if I'm in a dress, that would give others the "wrong" impression... <br /><br />So, "it is what it is", at least for now.<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-23220522611912659722014-11-04T04:59:17.044-08:002014-11-04T04:59:17.044-08:00I fully understand the concept of walking on eggsh...I fully understand the concept of walking on eggshells when dealing with your wife and your desires to dress. As for me I understand her concerns and since she is the most important person in my life I do try to be mindful of her concerns and do what I can to not cause her pain or aggravation. I would rather that she fully know and support my desires to dress and get out of the house and I really do not like to sneak my dressing and going out behind her back but I follow my own form of the Hippocratic oath to "First - Do No Harm".<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-31601411954123897902014-11-03T11:28:10.852-08:002014-11-03T11:28:10.852-08:00Yes, it seems many women ("all" in the g...Yes, it seems many women ("all" in the groups I've met this past weekend) are fine with the thought of me being in dresses. I got the feeling a couple of them preferred it that way...perhaps simply because it's not their husband. Some day I'd like to ask them what they'd do if their husband wanted to wear dresses....that could be an interesting discussion!<br /><br />But in answer to your question, no...what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Based on my wife's oft-stated comments about my wearing dresses, and the freedom I have to dress feminine/androgynous, it's going to stay "don't ask, don't tell" for a while. I may be limited as to the number of times I can dress. But for now at least, it's quality, not quantity. This weekend was very high quality. And, what I have been doing is sufficient for the present.<br /><br />That's not to say I wouldn't like it better. Who wouldn't? But I'm not a gambler, either. To discuss it stands a good chance of wrecking the status quo. That's like shooting craps. Time will tell what the future brings.<br /><br />The call with the witch went very well... We will be in touch again next year. The discussion with my wife afterward - not so much. End result: "You can celebrate Halloween any way you like, but not as a female." <br /><br />I'll wait a while and try again...she's been having a tooth problem that may require a root canal. That's never conducive to things like this going favorably.<br /><br />But wait! There's more - in part 4 to come!<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-41134369069568273002014-11-03T10:55:42.967-08:002014-11-03T10:55:42.967-08:00Here again every woman you encountered was fine wi...Here again every woman you encountered was fine with you being a guy in a dress. You are pleasant, friendly, interesting and absolutely non-threatening and none of them have to deal with you as NMH.<br /><br />Did you tell your wife that you went to Applebee's and RL in a skirt with your heels? I have not done that myself but I recognize that there are two components that require courage. One is to get out and about while dressed and the other is telling your wife.<br /><br />How was the call with the witch. How had he had his nails done. I look forward to your adding to the adventures of the past few days.<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-44634714192179627912014-11-03T04:25:59.335-08:002014-11-03T04:25:59.335-08:00Yes, I realize that it will soon be too cold for &...Yes, I realize that it will soon be too cold for "just skirts," even down here south of the Mason-Dixon Line. <br /><br />My preference for their replacement would be a couple of the skirted leggings I've seen on women. Specifically - short skirts with attached matching leggings. (Kind of the reverse of skorts!) The skirts are much shorter than I could wear without something underneath, but they look very nice and I've always wanted to wear short skirts... <br /><br />The only place I've seen them so far is QVC. But when they get to the women's clothing catalogs, I'll probably buy one in basic black to start with. <br /><br />Mandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-49095285174945841792014-11-03T00:40:26.886-08:002014-11-03T00:40:26.886-08:00Mandy -

At this point, I'll switch to pants/leggings for bottoms, and try to always wear tunic length tops.<br /><br />MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346866501735405647noreply@blogger.com
