It’s been a busy year. Have I mentioned that yet? I have? Oh ok, I’ll probably shut up about it (at some point). Opportunities to dress have… well, they’ve existed, but having both the time and inclination to do anything about it has been an issue. I had a goal to dress up once a month, or twelve times this year. At last count, I was at nine, so there’s still a way to go. That said, during the last few months of the year, I made some progress on that front. So let’s revisit that. (You might have seen […]

Getting back into the swing of things

Many years ago, I made a promise to my wife that if and when she became pregnant, as a show of solidarity, I would sport a beard the whole time for her benefit, as a lover of a good beard. Then, at long last, sometime last year she got pregnant. Thus began the long hiatus of Liz. Actually, that’s probably not fair. My dressing up had slowed to a crawl before that, and I hadn’t really dressed at work for many, many months. I suppose that I was already on a down-swing, and the bearded-ness, and general mental-fuzziness from there […]

Dressing again after a long hiatus



For lots of reasons, I hadn’t crossdressed at work since February, which ended up being about 3 months. I suppose that’s not the longest time I haven’t dressed, but for some reason it felt like an eternity. I’ve been crossdressing at work on and off for a couple of years now, but this was probably the longest window in which I hadn’t. I’d been planning to dress for a while, but for whatever reason, the previous weeks didn’t work out. Yesterday, however… it was time. Ah, public transport, how I loathe thee. And yet, I need thee… so keep working, […]

Back to work

Someone at work recently posted a link to an article about the difficulties women face in choosing what to wear for work/interviews (great article, well worth a read – http://www.xojane.com/issues/professional-dress-for-women) On the days where I present as male at work, so little thought goes into my appearance – I just grab a t-shirt and a hoodie, check to make sure my jeans are still wearable (SNIFF TEST), and then head into work. However, on the days where I present as female, every little thing becomes an enormous battle – I have to (fairly exhaustively) mentally prepare the night before, judging […]

Dressing for work (or yet another reason why it must ...

Another Halloween, another chance to push boundaries just a bit. As it turns out, people seemed to really like me as a red-head, and the slightly more ambitious bright pink eyeshadow I was wearing (which is difficult to see in these photos, alas) I didn’t actually crossdress for Halloween last year – I went as Slash from Guns ‘n’ Roses instead, which actually worked out quite well – but this year, figured it was about time to get girly again… specifically Powerpuff-Girls girly! I think I may have mastered the mirror-selfie. Just sayin’.

Crossdressing on Halloween 2014



I haven’t dressed up at all since this incident (although not because of it – mostly because I’ve been BUSY, and then kind of sick for a while. Damn immune system). However, we had a work event just yesterday, and it seemed like a good day for it. It turned out it really wasn’t :S It was hot and humid and I was sweating like a fat, moist, girthy pig. That said, someone did manage a good pic of me somehow :D So, I’m calling it a victory :D EDIT: BONUS PIC

Been a slow few months, but got a new pic ...



Which way do you dress most of the time? What percentages if you had to estimate? I would say 90% of the time, I’m dressed as a male. Frequency varies a lot. Maybe I’ll go a month without thinking about it or dressing, I’ll get a (horribly itchy) beard going. And then maybe the next month I’ll dress up at work maybe once or twice a week. There’s no real pattern – it’s really just whenever mood and opportunity strike! (I mention opportunity, because some days at work I end up having to interview people, and regardless of mood, I […]

Ask a Crossdresser: How often?

You mentioned going into public and getting respect whether you’re dressed as a woman or man, I was wondering about work and such. Where do you work? So like if you work as a crossdresser then obviously it’s okay at work, but I’m wondering how a different job/co-workers react if one day you come in as a man, and the next as a woman? So I work as a software developer in SF, which is helpful, since it’s probably the most accepting place in the country! It took a long time for me to start dressing at work. We had […]
