My Favorite Things

 

In addition to writing a Blog myself, I follow a few. The one that got me started down this path is Femulate by Stana (http://www.femulate.org), a combination of insights, How To's, history, and inspiration.  I occasionally share some of her best stuff (with permission, of course) and this one struck a chord with me. It sums up my feelings when Julie is being her full self - as well as an answer to the question "Why do I crossdress"

MY FAVORITE THINGS by Stana

Smoothing the back of my skirt as I sit down.

Pencil skirts.

Crossing my legs and letting a high-heel pump dangle from the tip of my stockinged foot.

Carrying a purse—my purse.

Taking a compact from it to touch up my makeup.

Wearing high heels.

Hearing the click of those heels as I walk.

Being called “Ma’am.”

Better yet… being called “Miss.”

Wrap dresses.

A complete stranger stopping to say, “I like your dress,” or compliment something else I’m wearing.

Shopping in a clothing store that opens a dressing room just for me—and displays my name on the door.

Shopping, period.

When a man holds the door open for me.

Dangly earrings.

Lipstick.

Admiring glances.

My shaved legs.

A scarf draped just right.

And realizing that when I present as a woman, it comes so naturally I don’t have to think about it at all.

I Enjoy Being A Girl

Stana expresses my feelings as well, but as to WHY do I enjoy these things? I may never have an answer to that question. Until I do, I will continue to slip into silks and satins and click my way down the hardwood floors of life.

Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.
