Michelle's Bio
The List
I was pondering what to put in here - it occurred to me that my story seems to be somewhat similar to many I've seen elsewhere .... here goes anyway ....
I have vivid recollections of staying around my Grandmother's, long before my voice broke - oh how I wish it never had :-). She seemed to make a hobby of collecting 'nearly new' clothes - the memories I have of trying all manner of dresses on has been with me since those early days.
Since my mid teens I seem to have been dressing in every spare moment when I was alone, somehow there was a partly erotic, partly emotional fulfillment generated by my secret dressing.
Five years ago I married for the second time, had a clear out of my femme wardrobe, lost a makeup bag and contents, and vowed never to do it again - that lasted for a few months!
Late 1996 I became aware that my SO was becoming stressed out, but I wasn't really sure what about. One day in November, I had this strange desire to come clean to my SO.... now that was an interesting evening - her reaction was the confusion I should have expected (but since Michelle had existed for years in my life, I didn't really understand my SO's reaction), the thing that sticks most in my mind was that she admitted she'd thought here was someone else in my life (of course, I said 'there is, Michelle').
Life has improved so much since that day; finally, after sooo many years, I have two wardrobes, it is wonderful to not to need to hide things, I lie in the bath reading women's magazines, we share makeup & ideas, and are much closer.
I've made a few practical mistakes, like the wig from hell (there is nothing I can imagine that would persuade me to post a picture of that!).
And .... I've discovered that there are some lovely people in the world, I can remember buying my breasts, I was treated like a woman and it felt wonderful. When asked by a friend how they felt, all I could think of to say was 'like old friends come home'.
Somehow I feel the need to list things about me, interesting thing is that writing the list has made me see a few things a bit clearer ;-)
1. Full name: Michelle Douglas
2. Home:
On the South Coast of England ....
near Brighton
3. Job:
Software developer. I spend hours
with my PCs, run a successful software company writing systems in
MS Access.
4. Age:
Born in the (very) late 1950's. I
thought life ended at 30, then one day realised I'd gone way past
that, and life was getting better!
5. Sports: Far to lazy, there
again maybe I could lose another dress size if my waist was less
'loose'
6. Sexual orientation: Decidedly
heterosexual, I love women. Okay It's time I explained this
'crossdressing'; for a long time it was my deepest secret. I
think there were a few narrow-minded people who came across my
wardrobe ...., one guy I shared a house with dropped a few subtle
hints that he'd been through my things one weekend when I'd been
away - I chose to treat his invasion of my life with the contempt
it deserved. Now I've opened up that portion of my life, even to
a few people, I feel complete.
7. Future relationship: I have a fantastic
SO who tries desperately to understand me, we've sometime swapped
dresses! that feels good - a very special kind of sharing.:-)
8. Favourite colour: in lingerie; pink.. in life purple, black
(dull), and red.
9. Favourite band: Pink Floyd,
Genesis, Phil Collins (especially the weepy ones)
10. Religion: Agnostic
11. Hobbies: Computers,
electronics
12. Pets: 4 goldfish!
13. Family: Mum, dad, brother and sister.... do they know
about the T* stuff - brother does .... the rest - no chance!
14.Clothing style: Love tight short
dresses and skirts, but also like classy and luxurious. Lingerie
has to be soft and luxurious. Always wanted my women to wear
stockings - then I realised what a pain they can be, now I've
modified my want to be silky, good quality, shiny pantyhose
15. Favourite Food: Steak, anything with garlic - but not together,
why spoil the great taste of steak with anything?!
16. Favourite TV series: X Files. Start Trek
17. Favourite Movies: White Nights.
18. Favourite Flower: Red Roses.
19. Favourite Dress: A *very* full skirted denim one I bought after
looking for months for one I liked.
20: Favourite Shoes: The ones I'm wearing!
19. Dislikes: Having to justify
myself and my feelings, and supermarket queues.
20. Favourite Sexual Fantasy: Being a girl with
my wife.
21. Does my daughter know?: Well Yes and No, I think she'd be happy for me to be a girl,
my wife is less sure, and some friends have suggested that her
life could be difficult at school, kids can be cruel to each
other. She's very used to seeing me wearing dressed, but hasn't really had it
explained to her. She seems to intuitively know there are some things she
shouldn't talk about outside our home.
