Re: Christian Bretheren lumping us in with the crossdressers again.

While I disagree with the narrow opinion of men's clothing clothing that Elizabeth Urbanowicz of Foundation Worldview (Christian Bretheren) expresses, she is free to express her opinion. Not all Christians, myself included, agree with her that men should not wear skirted garments. I do not attempt ...

I always go into one of the stalls if available. Now days I have a walker, so it's into the handicap stall for me.

Re: Making a skirt to go with my man's suit coat

I'm not sure if I can visualize the look you are going for but look forward to seeing what you come up with. This is what I envision of a skirt with man's suit coat. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ad/63/99/ad639907713720b567fdf921fe4bc098.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8d/cf/ee/8dcfee0240cd696d6cfb59...

Re: Things that I wear or do that are considered femme by others

I often wonder about this - and I think what happens is women start to adopt men's clothing, and men fearing they will - horror of horrors - look like women - stop wearing them. Perhaps this is too basic an analysis, but it seems time and time again men have lost footholds in what is socially accep...

Re: Fragility Barrier

I hate the idea myself. Watched what was happening to my late mother-when she used a cane she still had some dignity. She was robbed of dignity when she had to use a walker. I regard a quad cane as the limit. You are still somewhat independent, and still have a tiny scrap of dignity. After that you...

Re: Auditing my Wardrobe

This winter, I will be auditing my clothing.
Lots of real old stuff that's been in the closet far too long and needs to go.
By spring time there will be a small "Mens Jeans & T-Shirt" section and then the rest of my clothing I normally wear.

Re: Things that I wear or do that are considered femme by others

That's what I ended up doing, making my one-piece swimsuit. Another advantage for me is one piece suits don't slip off like in that episode of of Mr Bean. Not being sufficiently skilled at sewing, I have found a couple of brands of Swimwear that work for me. One-piece, Tankkinis and Rash Guards fro...

Re: Sixty years ago

I was a small child when it happened. My family was visiting my Uncle for Thanksgiving in the Oak Cliff part of Dallas. I remember all the adults gathered around the TV in the living room but I was clueless what was so important that they had stopped what they had been doing and gathered around the ...

Re: What will crossdressers do if dresses becomes mainstream for men

Wouldn't proper cross dressing today be a pair of distressed denim jeans and a crop T-Shirt with Tennis shoes.
That's what the vast majority of young women I have seen running around in these days. :mrgreen:

Re: New Technologies

Off course, you also get an impression of ancient history with 19th century photography. BTW, the Crimean War wasn't the first to be photographed. There is a web site that features very early photographs from the Mexican-American war, during the year 1947. What we have with these early photographs,...

Re: Skirt storage

The lightweight skirts are on clip hangers in the closet.
The heaver and longer ones are in drawers in the dresser.
Dresses are on hangers in the tall item part of the closet, which as it turns out most of the tall items are Dresses.

My phone is in my bag because I'm usually wearing a skirt with no pockets so the fact that the pants have 1/4 size pockets is relevant. :)
