Times Online News recently published the.I read the article and thought how to apply that list to men thatare emulating women. It did not take long to realize that crossdressersneeded their own list.With over 40 years of crossdressing experience under my wide patentbelt, I decided I am qualified to put together such a list. So, here ismy list of 'the necessities' that no man's wardrobe can be without ifhe wishes to emulate a woman successfully.waist cincher — The right waist cincher can mold your bodyinto a feminine figure by pulling in your waist and displacing what itpulled in to your hips and breasts. (It helps if you are a littleoverweight like me. My waist cincher displaces enough of me into mybreast area that I can nearly fill the B cups of my bra and forgobreast forms.) I have tried a lot of waist cinchers over the years andI prefer an underbust corset-like design with metal boning and alace-up back.wig — Style is your choice, but buy the most expensivesynthetic wig you can afford. Inexpensive wigs look like wigs, whereasexpensive wigs look like real hair.
One of the nicest compliments Iever received was when a woman thought my expensive wig was my realhair.panty girdle — A panty girdle serves two purposes: (1) itshapes your lower torso into a more feminine shape and (2) it allowsyou to hide your male parts. I tried a gaff to achieve the latter, butdiscovered that it was very uncomfortable and that my male parts wouldescape frequently and required regaffing. The panty girdle did a muchbetter job keeping those parts in place and was much more comfortable.By the way, if you favor short skirts (like me), wear a brief pantygirdle rather than a long leg panty girdle, so that your girdle is lesslikely to show.beard cover — I feel so badly when I see a beautifulfemulator with the tell-tale signs of a beard because there is an easyfix: a good beard cover. By 'good' I mean one that is sheer and orange(to counteract the blue color of a beard).little black dress — Purchase a classic little black dressand it will never go out of style. I lost count the number of times Icouldn't find anything to wear, end up wearing my LBD, and getcompliments on my look.moisturizer — Moisturize every day even during periods when you are not going out en femme.After many, many years of shunning skin care, I began using amoisturizer and it made a huge difference. My skin is smoother, moresupple, healthier-looking, and my makeup goes on easier and looksbetter.boots — Buy a pair of boots for practical reasons (to protect your feet in cold weather) and for style (to look sexy).breast forms — If you are not naturally endowed or if yourfoundation garments do not displace sufficient flesh to fill the cupsof your bra, then use breast forms (unless you are going for theflat-chested waif look). I seldom use forms, but when I do, I use thebird seed in pantyhose versions I made 25 years ago.
They are soinexpensive that I made two pairs: a small pair to fill out a bra whenmy flesh just fails to do so and a larger pair for when I fake cleavageand need big breasts to match.wallet — Buy a woman's wallet. Don't destroy your look by pulling a man's wallet out of your purse.watch — Buy a woman's watch.
Don't destroy your look by pulling up a lace cuff to check the time on your man's watch.camisole — Buy one camisole or better, buy two: one in blackand another in white. I own a half dozen because they can solve so manypersonal wardrobe dilemmas.gold and silver jewelry — To compliment most of your outfits,buy one gold-colored set of jewelry (earrings, necklace, bracelet) andone silver-colored.makeup — It goes without saying that you must buy and usemakeup to emulate a woman. These are the makeup items that I considernecessities: concealer, foundation, powder, blush, lipstick, lip-liner,lip-gloss, mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner, and eyebrow color.outerwear — If you live in cooler climes, you will need awoman's coat, woman's gloves and perhaps, a woman's hat if you plan ongoing out en femme during the winter. A man's coat, gloves, and hat will not cut it if you really want to look like a woman.hand cream — A man has man's hands especially if he doesmanual labor. So, shave your hands if they have hair and use a handcream daily to help feminize your man hands.deodorant — Unless your manly deodorant is unscented, use a woman's deodorant to avoid the manly scent of a man's deodorant.makeup brushes — Buy a good set of makeup brushes and throwaway those foam applicators that came with your makeup. The pros onlyuse brushes. To achieve a professional look, you should use brushes,too.credit card — Most credit card companies will issueadditional cards under the same account for other family members.
Soget an additional card issued to yourself, but just use the initial ofyour first name with your last name. For example, John Smith would getan additional credit card issued for 'J Smith.' Use this card whenshopping en femme; it is just another small touch that will help you pass as a woman.makeup mirror — A makeup mirror can be your best friend. Getone that has lights that you can switch to produce various lightingeffects and a magnifying option, which is so handy when you are doingyour eyes.eyeglasses — If you wear eyeglasses, next time buy a pairwith unisex frames or if you can afford it, buy a second pair with afeminine frame.
(With an eyeglass prescription in hand, you can ordereyeglasses online and avoid the embarrassment of buying female framesin person.) If you need eyeglasses for reading, you can buy inexpensivereading glasses with very feminine frames just about anywhere (thelocal pharmacy, Wal.Mart, etc). Also, you can buy woman's sunglassesjust about anywhere, too.clip-on earrings — Clip-on earrings are a rare commodity andI buy them whenever I come across a nice-looking pair for sale.
Large High Heels For Men
If youdon't have pierced ears, you should collect clip-ons, too.wrinkle remover — If you have wrinkles, use a wrinkleremover. I never paid much attention to those miracle skin careproducts that are supposed to remove wrinkles. However, one day Ireceived a free sample of a product that was supposed to deal withwrinkles around the eyes. Looking in the mirror at the wrinklesdeveloping around my 50-something-year-old eyes, I decided to try thefree sample. After a week or so, I noticed that the wrinkles were lessnoticeable. After a few weeks, I had to examine my eyes closely to findthe wrinkles. As a result, I was sold on the product and continuedusing it everyday.
Today, the wrinkles around my eyes are still there,but they are not as deep as they once were and as a result, they areless visible especially from afar, which is the goal for using thisstuff.makeup box — Males need more makeup than real females to lookfemale, so get a big box for your makeup. Don't be shy about buying thebiggest box you can find or afford.
If the box is not full now, trustme, you will fill it eventually. (When I outgrew the last makeup box, Iwent to the sports department of my local Wal.Mart and bought thebiggest tackle box that they sold.)jewelry box — My wife gets credit for this.
Bras And Garters
Instead of usingtraditional jewelry boxes to store your jewelry, use clear plasticstackable compartmentalized storage boxes. They are inexpensive andallow you to see what is stored in the box at a glance.nails — Long painted nails are so feminine, but how is a guysupposed to hide them when he is in boy mode. The solution is to usefake nails. I prefer the pre-painted, pre-glued, press-on nails; theygo on in less than five minutes and usually do not come off until youpurposely remove them.perfume — Buy one bottle of an expensive perfume and use itwhen you dress like a woman so that you will have the scent of a woman,too.cuticle remover — Whether you paint your nails or use fakenails, you should use a cuticle remover to clean up your natural nailsbefore you go glam.razor — Purchase an electric razor with a the sideburntrimmer and use the trimmer to remove long hair, then use the head ofthe razor to remove stubble. For closely shaving your face, get amulti-blade safety razor and always use a new blade before going out en femme in order to get the closest shave.tights — Tights are very handy when there is no time to shave your legs and they are also very fashionable lately.attitude — I wish you could buy attitude, but you can't.Attitude is something you acquire and is critical in your success ofemulating a woman. When you go out en femme, act as if it isthe most natural thing in the world. Don't be ashamed.
Shaping Essentials
Rather, strutyour stuff. It is your life and if you want to live it as a woman evenmomentarily, it is your right to do so. If someone has a problem withit, it is their problem, not yours. Go for it, Girl!
